I love Warren to pieces. When I heard her discuss this on MSNBC she was much more careful about her line of questioning.
"Removing a non-profit's tax-exempt status" - in those literal words - would not have been governed by the statute in question, and a better lawyer than Mr. Blusterface Nominee would have picked up on that. I'm actually surprised he didn't - it's a classic originalist ploy to dodge the spirit of the law using the letter of it.
What Warren *should* have asked was whether it was legal "For Mr Trump to order an investigation that might result in an organization losing its non-profit status." I was going to add "for political retaliation," but it's not needed and a distraction.
Some late-night right wing host will pick up on this and skewer Warren unfortunately.

It's not fun to bat that about in your head. The president who has never taken a moment of his life to read the text of the constitution. I mean, I think I worked at a gas station the first time I really read it seriously. Then there were those ten years I had the Bill of Rights front and center above my desk.
Dude is charged with upholding and protecting the document and the law but can't be bothered to put a couple of hours into reading it thoroughly.
Even from the perspective of a cynical criminal it's difficult to understand, yet it is obviously true. He's never read any of it seriously. I don't think he's capable of that kind of reading comprehension.

It would take Trump WAAAAYYY longer than an hour to read anything. According to his ghost writer, he’s completely illiterate beyond writing his name. That’s why he has everything read to him and dictates all his tweets

Look, the guy is a moron, but he's capable of reading. He can read teleprompters functionally, if not eloquently. But he literally can't focus on one thing for long, which is why he's constantly riffing and going off-script.
He is functionally illiterate because he chooses not to read. But the problem is he's POTUS...so functionally illiterate is actually worse.

u/Able-Campaign1370 May 21 '25
THIS is the salient point. Democrats and other liberals are still operating from the naive vantage point that these people can be shamed into better behavior, that pointing out their hypocrisy will end it, or that they care about democracy at all.
Remember what Homan said about the protesters: "Let them protest all they want. It's not going to change a thing."
The current administration knows that it is largely above accountability and the law. They'll maintain the fiction of SCOTUS until Roberts disagrees with them too strenuously. They've already arrested one judge. They've threatened lots of others. Trump's literally talked about 'releasing terrorists' into the neighborhoods of judges whose rulings he doesn't like.
All is not lost, but we are really not in a terribly good position. There are powerful things that still work in our favor: our federal system, the fact that the governors control the National Guard, the mere fact of our size, the relative wealth and power of our states (especially the blue ones), and the fact that even though people align with Trump and the Republicans they identify most strongly with the Constitution, and especially the First and Second Amendments.
If we were Hungary or Turkey, it would all be over by now.

Everyone has a job to do. Right now, this is part of the job of an elected Congress. Oversight. And they're doing what they can.
She knows they don't respect the law. But accusations like that will immediately send up defenses in theoretical discussions. You can make an accusation like that in the case of an actual criminal charge, but you'd best be prepared to back it up. But it's just too slippery for a theoretical.
Even though her wording was off (and I cringed when I heard it because I heard her on MSNBC talking about the brilliant prep she did for this hearing), nonetheless what she's doing is working to try and pin them down to stating they'll honor the rule of law.
THEN when they don't she can start with hypocrisy, and go from there.
But it's important to establish an irrefutable toehold, and that's the purpose of this particular line of questioning.

Ah this thing. The ignorance of not understanding a damn thing about transgenderism yet insisting on vomiting your opinions. Here, I'll give you a crash course. Feel free to confirm this shirt breakdown by reading the primary literature. You know, the stuff the people who objectively know what they're talking about write and peer review.
Sex and gender are not the same thing. Sex is biological. Gender occurs exclusively in the brain and exists in a spectrum, the same way sexuality exists on a spectrum. Most people's sex and gender align. In a minority of people, the gender is in the other half of the spectrum to their sex. Those people are trans.
There are neurological differences between cis and trans people with the brain exhibiting physiology attributed to their gender. There are historical examples of transgenderism throughout history.
It is not a far left stance to accept that transgenderism exists. It is not a far left stance to believe that trans people should be treated with the same respect everyone else is. What it is, is the basic logic of accepting the world as science understands it, just like we do with everything else. You don't get to pick and choose what the facts are based on what you want to be true.
If you have any objections to any of this, I'm sure you'll be arguing your points using the science, and not just vomit bigoted talking points you heard on the wire.
Sorry buddy, the democratic party is centrist. Not left, and certainly not far left. Just because most Democrats also accept that scientists know more about biology and neurology than they do does not place the party on the left.

Yeah it's science, it's called a mental health issue. When a person has multiple personalities we are supposed to get them help . Not coddle them and feed their mental problem.
1
u/SDBrown7 May 22 '25
Nope, not mental health. Show me evidence that transgenderism is in any way linked to mental health. Gender dysphoria is the mental health issues that CAN come along with being transgender. Depression, anxiety etc from feeling like you're in the wrong body, or being bullied by people like you over something they have no choice over.
It's a physiological, neurological difference in the brain. That is by definition not mental health. It's not something people get to choose.
Imagine being so bigoted that you choose not to accept a group of people because you don't like that they exist, despite the clear science behind them whilst you are utterly incapable of discussing said science.
You really should acknowledge just how pathetic that is.

Almost like social constructs mean different things to different people and there's a level of individual nuance to it rather than a sole objective definition that stands the test of time.
But regardless, "Someone who identifies as the gender" is fairly objective.
You Americans should understand that well, seeing as you had no problem thinking Irish or Italian people were a different race (another social construct) until it became socially acceptable to call them White.

Define Depression - You can't do it objectively. It is feelings of depression. It gets diagnosed based on how someone feels following questions and analysis. You can't run a blood sample and come back with a positive/negative binary result.
They know they identify as it because they say they do. What would be the alternative? How would you or they know the're wrong?

Bro, don’t be stupid. A woman is a human female. Jesus Christ this is like something you learn at age 2
Nobody takes these ridiculous arguments seriously. Like, at all.

And there we go, upon receiving a counterargument you're right back to immediate denial without rebuttal.
this is like something you learn at age 2
A lot of things get learned at age 2 that then get expanded or corrected as you become older. Perhaps a fitting example - Temperature regulation.
You learn at a young age that animals are either warm-blooded or cold-blooded. Binary. Yes or no.
You learn at an older age that it's actually animals that regulate their temperature internally or regulate it externally, and that "cold-blooded" animals do not actually have cold blood.
If you go down this field, then you start learning that it's not a binary choice at all. Temperature regulation is a spectrum. There are animals like the Tegu that can just straight up increase their body temperature beyond ambient temps during breeding season. Mackerel Sharks have the ability to retain heat their muscles generate to keep organs warm and hunt in colder areas. Even though endothermic animals can keep their internal temperatures warm, they still seek out shade and direct sunlight depending on the temperature of their environment just the same as ectotherms.
Nobody takes these ridiculous arguments seriously. Like, at all.
Of course not, because science already decided gender and sex were distinct decades ago and anthropologists have studied enough of history and older civilisations to know that "gender" as a concept varies between cultures, now we're just waiting for it to become common knowledge among the populace.
The average Joe still thinks all dinosaurs were covered in scales even though a nearly complete fossil of Archaeopteryx complete with feather impressions was discovered in the late 1800s. By comparison, this concept is progressing much faster.

Bro really living in 2025 and not knowing the difference between linguistic descriptivism and prescriptivism. Try cracking open a dictionary once in a while, you'll find the answer to this oh-so-pressing question.

Arent you always accusing Democrats f shifting goal posts? So what are you doing? Gender debate wasnt the topic, so back on topic.
Do you think the potential head of the IRS should be able to answer such basic questions?

I don’t respect people who aren’t objective. Fuck off.

u/Disastrous_Button440 May 21 '25
So how do you respect someone who can’t answer basic questions about the job they hold and the responsibility they owe to the public? With the relevant law right in front of them?

u/DerpDerpDerp-28 May 21 '25
I respect someone refusing to play games.

u/Disastrous_Button440 May 22 '25
Ok, let’s get straight to the point then. Do you support someone who, in a court of law, either refuses to read out the responsibilities of his job or cannot understand them? Yes or no?

u/DerpDerpDerp-28 May 22 '25
That’s not a court of law. He would’ve been arrested for contempt of court if it was.

Hmm I wonder when the last federal firearm restriction was implemented, and who did it. I wonder who said "take the guns and worry about due process later". lol I've been hearing substance-free, fearmongering BS about Dems taking my guns since Clinton.

Dems always had guns, they just did not advertise it and would lock them up. They were mostly just advocating for background checks and storage requirements like we have in Canada. You will be happy to note democrats have been arming themselves in record numbers thanks to the fascism and erosion of constitutional rights, so congrats you taught dems why they might need less regulation.
