“Ya can talk, ya can talk, ya can bicker, ya can talk
Ya can bicker, bicker, bicker, ya can talk, ya can talk

Three, pick ’em three separate talking points from Trump. None do any justice for ALL Americans, none provide any freedom or equality for ALL Americans, and ALL originate for the sole purpose of Trump wanting to remain in the Oval Office instead of a Square Cell.

The Trump administration has finalized a regulation rolling back Obama-era protections for transgender Americans against sex discrimination in health care. According to the new version of the policy, the Department of Health and Human Services will be “returning to the government’s interpretation of sex discrimination according to the plain meaning of the word ‘sex’ as male or female and as determined by biology”.

“Some people believe that being the loudest in the room makes them look strong. It may appear that way to a few uninformed individuals. What they don’t know is the more they talk, the more information they reveal about themselves (directly and indirectly). They become an easy target, and it makes them very vulnerable to attacks. Do not underestimate the power of silence.” Izey Victoria Odiase

Trump supporters who plan on attending the president’s controversial rally in Tulsa next week have to sign a waiver promising not to sue his reelection campaign if they catch coronavirus during the raucous event. A disclaimer at the bottom of the webpage where people can sign up to attend the June 19 rally states that attendants “are acknowledging that an inherent risk of exposure to COVID-19 exists in any public place.” “By attending,” the disclaimer continues, “you and any guests voluntarily assume all risks related to exposure to COVID-19 and agree not to hold Donald J. Trump for President ... liable for any illness or injury.” (New York Daily News)
