Re: Thread : In the news today
During DragonCon in 1999, Heard spoke out about the need for reforms regarding healthcare for actors. I worked on a webmagazine named The Sojourner at the time, and we had the pleasure to interview him about that story.

Re: Thread : In the news today
Looks like Trump loves transgender people so much, he does not want them to die in service of their country, ever.

I am so tired. Every day it's something new. They blocked the repeal last night and I was thinking "How many times are we going to have this fight?" And then the transgender news was one of the first things I saw this morning. I am.. so tired.

Considering my first thought when seeing it this morning was wondering if it would affect civilian employees, yeah. Fun news. Hopefully he just forgets to do more.

Until he files the paperwork, it's just a lot of gas. It'll still cause problems, though.

Re: Thread : In the news today
I had to pop in to comment on this latest bit of pandering to the far right by Trump. Military service is often the only path out of poverty/bad situations for many people of all walks of life, and Trump's trying to slam the door on a whole sector of them. Any transgendered person who even thought of supporting Trump has to feel bewildered and outraged.

Never fear, old witches never die...we just move on and come back....for those who don't know, Forey voiced Witch Hazel in the Looney Toons until 2005. She was also the voice of Granny and Cindy Lou Who.
On the transgender issue...an out trans woman and former navy S.E.A.L. has challenged Trump to explain himself face to face. So far, he hasn't accepted. One trans woman who was on The Daily Show explained that she didn't have any trouble when she started transitioning before the ban was being lifted. She was forced to retire when it came out that she's trans, but she was one of the best instructors our military had when it came to teaching the police forced of Afghanistan and she even won a medal from the French for her bravery.

Re: Thread : In the news today
"Repeal and replace"?
Also, with each passing day, if someone tells me that the whole Trump administration are just puppets of a shadowy evil cartel of superrich old white men, I'd be more inclined to believe that piecemeal.
Oh, and here I was sad at Spicy resigning because of nooo-think-of-the-comedy? Man, I needn't have worried. Now we have Scaramucchi, Scare-a-mooch doing THE FANDANGO!!!
