Trump has done more for actual women than any in recent memory.

What a refreshing change from the biological woman hating left.

Cool. People can have more children to become wage slaves for Oligarchs.

Of course, they won't have healthcare or Social Security by the time they need it... but Oligarchs don' care.

Time will tell:

Senator Patty Murray
@murray.senate.gov

Let's be clear: this PR stunt does NOTHING to actually expand access to IVF. Republicans created this mess by overturning Roe and they've blocked legislation MULTIPLE TIMES that WOULD make IVF care more accessible and affordable for families. Give me a break.

Mark Joseph Stern
@mjsdc.bsky.social
Anti-abortion advocates' furious reaction to Trump's IVF order"which does not actually do anything!"is a good reminder of how extreme and bizarre their movement's ideology truly is. They claim to speak for a majority, but most Americans don't believe this stuff! It's total fringe lunacy.

Democrat Dismisses Trump's IVF Executive Order As 'Lip Service'

Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.), whose "Right to IVF" bill remains blocked by Republicans, dismissed Trump's executive order on IVF as "just lip-service from a known liar."

"Don't be fooled. Donald Trump's executive order does nothing to expand access to IVF," she said in a statement. "In fact, he's the reason IVF is at risk in the first place. But if he is actually serious about taking real action to accomplish his own campaign promise to make IVF free for everyone, there's a simple way he can prove it: He can call on Senate Republicans to immediately back my Right to IVF Act that would require insurance plans to cover IVF."

Duckworth, a U.S. Army veteran who lost both legs when her helicopter was shot down in Iraq, has spoken openly about using IVF to conceive her two daughters. The Illinois senator says her doctor suggested her struggles with infertility may be tied to the many X-rays she received while undergoing treatment for her injuries.

Trump's DEI ban eviscerates your done more for cis gender women than any other president. His gleefully overturning Roe V Wade as well. He doesn't care about women. That's a fact Boaz

... Trump signs executive order to 'aggressively' make IVF more affordable and accessible ...

Details are lacking.

I ask of the Boaz alias, how, exactly, will this EO do what I quote?

Details matter.

What's yer got?

@#1 ... Wow. What a great President.

Promises made, Promises kept. ...

Yeah, i meant, what's yer got beside the apparent unfettered adulation of a cult leader your alias seems to ascribe to.

What's yer got?

You know how to read. Look it up for yourself.

Getting rid of 60K people on SS who arent there will save a lot of money. Social Security will be there.

#11 | Posted by boaz at 2025-02-18 11:04 PM

@#10 ... You know how to read. Look it up for yourself. ...

Yes, I do know how to read. Thanks for noting that.

But your reply indicates to me your alias has got nothing to substantiate what it has asserted.

Thanks for that admission.

#12 | Posted by LampLighter at 2025-02-18 11:11 PM

@#11 ... Getting rid of 60K people on SS who arent there ...

And the evidence for that is ... ?

Mr Musk has already stated he makes mistakes in his assertions.

That's why I now want to see the evidence behind his claims.

So, where's the evidence of those 60K people?

Yer up ...

Bulls*&^. More EO trash.

I agree with the end goal, but stop with the executive order s*&^.

A small government "c-c-conservative" like yourself should agree with that.

#14 | Posted by jpw at 2025-02-19 01:05 AM

Oh, and while you're at it, dips(*&, chime in on any of the threads displaying the gross stupidity of the administration, yeah?

Stop being a sycophantic dumbf(*& turd who only swings at the easy ones.

GFY s(*&heap. If you'd leave the MAGA idiot bubble where trans people are hiding behind every corner you'd know the fallout from Trump's first term and his SCOTUS picks has been disastrous for "actual women."

F*&^ing idiot.

#16 | Posted by jpw at 2025-02-19 01:09 AM

to make IVF free for everyone

Oh f(*& me. Can Dems please stop trying to make everything free as a proxy for actually getting s(*& done?

They've learned nothing.

This dumbf(*& cheers for something he knows nothing about.

Yet, he gets all pissy when called out as an idiot leech...

"called out as an idiot leech...

#18 | POSTED BY JPW AT 2025-02-19 01:14 AM |"

I seem to recall you saying your wife is an administrator (maybe a principle) in a public school system. Applying your logic that makes her an idiot leech too.

Maybe you should rethink your argument.

#19 | Posted by BellRinger at 2025-02-19 01:17 AM

My wife hasn't spent a lifetime cashing fed checks while talking s(*& about them the entire time.

Nice try.

But a swing and a miss for you, as usual.

#20 | Posted by jpw at 2025-02-19 01:59 AM

Your wife has been cashing fed checks for....most of her adult life? Nothing wrong with that, BTW. Just have some ------- self-awareness when you call someone else a leech for joining the military and being compensated for that service.

#21 | Posted by BellRinger at 2025-02-19 02:01 AM

#21 | Posted by BellRinger

Try having some actual knowledge before opening your ignore ---- mouth for once.

She wasn't cashing fed checks for any of it. Most of it was running private schools. The rest was state level stuff.

You tried to make it personal as a trump card to go to bat for that mooching s(*&bag. You look like a fool, as usual, in the process.

Eat a bag of d(^&s.

#22 | Posted by jpw at 2025-02-19 02:04 AM

Okay. Private schools are different. State run schools still get funding, guidance and money from the Department of Education.

She's currently in state-run schools? (rhetorical - I don't expect you to divulge that). My guess is yes, which means her district (including compensation) comes, at least in part, from the feds.

Again - I am NOT criticizing that. Not in the least. My point is Boaz also provided work in exchange for compensation and you call him a leech for doing so.

You can't have it both ways. On a Kamala Venn Diagram I see a good amount of overlap. So, figure out a way to cope with that.

#23 | Posted by BellRinger at 2025-02-19 02:15 AM

No , state teachers are paid by their state and local governments, not the federal government. Teachers in state-funded schools are considered state employees.
Explanation
Public schools are primarily funded and controlled by state governments.
The federal government provides grants and funding to the educational sector, but this money is usually given to the state or the educational sector as a whole.
The federal government contributes about 8% to funding US public schools.
State and local governments are mandated to allocate money towards education to fund the remaining balance per student.

#24 | Posted by LauraMohr at 2025-02-19 02:23 AM

Your guess is wrong. Her current position is entirely funded by state and county taxes.

My point is Boaz also provided work in exchange for compensation and you call him a leech for doing so.

No, I call him a leech because he's been a benefactor of the US taxpayers most of his adult life and continues to be. His response? To s*&^ all over them and wish for the misery and pain and destruction of the lives of anyone and everyone related to the fed government...so long as they don't touch his benefits.

The rest of your post is bulls(*& trying to force your square peg in a round hole.

"On a Kamala Venn Diagram I see a good amount of overlap."

Please do tell what this diagram involves.

#26 | Posted by Dbt2 at 2025-02-19 02:59 AM

#25,

No, it's you who are trying to paint an argument that doesn't exist.

I'm no more a "benefactor" than someone working at waffle house is a benefactor of waffle house.

You act like my military pension is an entitlement and it's not. There is a difference.

That's why people are laughing at you.

Your pension for hoiking around in Pharaoh's Army?
Better ask President Musk, kiddo, top of the chain.
Good luck!

I got to lead 386 Airborne Paratroopers during the battle for Marjah.

What did you do again?

Tell it to Leon.

Whatever I could to keep Pharaoh's Army out of some pretty dumb wars.
You?

You act like you're not a raging hypocritical mooch who uses the government to get every benefit he can while s*&^ing all over everyone else who does the same.

Made my way without the government...

May I recommend 'Eat A Bigger Bag Of ----- The Bill Johnson Way'?

"The unoriginal, yet mighty limpet can be compared to the frustration Christ imparts upon his most loyal followers. Suckle mightily upon the rock of Christ and not an idol, or a prostitute."

This is another confusing performative piece, but it does bring out the hypocrites and whores.

#33 | Posted by redlightrobot at 2025-02-20 01:20 AM

Had Boaz actually read about what Trump actually did ... well, hope against hope.

The story talks about a 30-day period of hemming and hawing to look around for the concepts of a plan.

Maybe.

So effin dumb, both of them, Trumpf and Bozo.
