This new bill, signed into law by President Joe Biden, includes a provision that limits access to gender-affirming care services for the children of people serving in the military.

      This whole thread is fucking disappointing. Yes it’s super shitty that tricare isn’t going to cover trans kids. We just had a budget showdown where Elon fucking Musk tried to tank the entire nation. Biden signed this shit and said he hated that he had to do it because it excluded trans kids.

      I’m no Biden fan but holy shit get your course corrected and get ready friends because this ain’t shit compared to what’s to come.

        Agreed. The political ignorance of the common American is why it is so easy able to drive these wedges.

        Anyone pissed at Biden about this is not a politically smart person and are easily manipulated becuase they not only lack political intelligence but lack the ability to gauge their lack of political intelligence.

          They could have just not funded the government/military, I would be fine with that.

            Yea they could have. But Biden didn’t shut down paychecks for regular folks right at christmas…

            You’d be fine with that.

                When did Biden control legislation? Did I miss him giving multiple vetoes to previous bills? The hell does this have to do with him and not every republican screwing up congress?

                  If the DNC had chosen to run progressive policies we wouldnt be here. But they didnt and here we are.

                    They should have. Obama running on “change” should have clued them into something. But still, Biden didn’t elect this congress, nor write this bill, nor did he cause this mess we’re in. It’s fair to say dems didn’t swing hard enough, but the GOP has an unrelenting presence, propelling the problem and yet getting votes. Thats on Fox News not Biden.
