Assigned's mentions for this post are flooded with people who want to jeer at Biden so may I just say: When a Democratic former president makes a point of standing up for trans rights in a situation where he is absolutely not required to do so, for God's sake, just take the W.

Yeah it’s a fucking money laundering scheme all the way through.*

* some people also see it as a way to destroy / destabilize governments

George Clooney is emailing an angry rant to the water company in Lake Como right now from George.Clooney@gmail.com
