Joe Biden has moved to correct a “great injustice” by pardoning thousands of US veterans convicted over six decades under a military law that banned gay sex.
The presidential proclamation, which comes during Pride month and an election year, allows LGBTQ+ service members convicted of crimes based solely on their sexual orientation to apply for a certificate of pardon that will help them receive withheld benefits.
…
It grants clemency to service members convicted under Uniform Code of Military Justice article 125 – which criminalised sodomy, including between consenting adults – between 1951 and 2013, when it was rewritten by Congress.
That includes victims of the 1950s “lavender scare”, a witch-hunt in which many LGBTQ+ people employed by the federal government were viewed as security risks amid fears their sexual orientation made them vulnerable to blackmail. Thousands were investigated and fired or denied employment.

So its genocide, but talking about it in a way that makes the current President look bad means you’re not human?
The problem with Americans is that they literally cannot break out of the Two-Party mentality. Since Joe Biden is endorsing genocide in Israel, anyone that suggests Biden might be bad for doing so is implicitly supporting Trump. And since Trump is also endorsing genocide, you can twist yourself into a knot suggesting that anyone espousing anti-genocidal views is somehow pro-genocide by the transitive property of “You must be a MAGA Russian bot”.

The far left’s… anti-genocide agenda?
Its too hard to score goals when the goalpost marker is “Be against genocide”. Better move it to “Be against Republicans advocating genocide”.
For once, you’re right. Fascism as bipartisan politics is going to destroy the country.

Who? Where?
Sure that was a thing to some* extent. Where is your evidence the people you disagree with here and now are bots.

Sounds a lot like something a bot stuck in a corner might say.

You’ve the time to reply, why not make the point instead of running away.
You trash talk bud, not me.
Sure, aside from talking shit and not backing it up, calling people bots with zero reasoning, and a blanket stance that anyone who disagrees with your stance is a bot.
