Wild; Beth Warren wants to fucking hand a fascist administration that literally day 1 of its existence announced that trans people don't exist, kicking off a very real but slow moving pogrom to drive trans people out of public life and ALMOST CERTAINLY WORSE is yet to come, the right to censor online content it considers "trans" or "potentially upsetting to children." Who decides what those things are? As a trans woman is anything I write "trans content?" Cool story Beth. Fuck this party.
Naw, I mean Trump is an idiot for sure. The correct move is to announce the FBI is looking into Ross and shroud the investigation in secrecy, telling the media it's active and you have no details to share because it might compromise the investigation. This gives ppl time to cool off, and get bored, and then you can say "yeah we think he's innocent actually." But Trump doesn't care, because this ain't about getting away with it anymore. It's about saying this is how it be now and fuck you.
