Dear Reader:

Preface.

Suck is gone mad – touched mad – deleting posts throughout Faceplop, anything that presents ideology that he opposes.

Notice on posts at my Faceplop page that Suck deleted the URL links and posts that reference to my Faceplop page:

**
This content isn’t available right now
When this happens, it’s usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it’s been deleted.

Page not found. 
The page you requested was not found.

Here are today’s Faceplop Memories of this date at prior years, with selected narrative.

Fear not, Dear Reader.  I continue posting current original compositions – I have countless ideas about topics that I have never discussed here or not commented in depth.  Posting these recent ‘Memories’ allows me to catch up to what past essays I missed posting here concurrent with Faceplop posts.

 – Sharon

The Trump movement has created an epidemic of fanatically self-righteous cheaters, liars and grifters
Jeremy Sherman, AlterNet
June 12, 2018, 1:43 PM ET

Here in the US, we’re suffering an epidemic of dishonest fake belief, promoted by the people who took over the conservative party. Just call yourself a Christian, a patriot, a True American and you can get away with anything. All the perks, none of the costs of actually behaving in accord with any kind of disciplined lifestyle ­– license to indulge from the moral high ground. Trump takes it to a new level.

Trump plays classic Western god – self-obsessed, petty, petulant, disappointed, vengeful, cliquish, devoted solely to building his fan club, chronically bitter about being under-appreciated. And most of his followers are typical dishonest fake believers. They love him because they want to be like him. Trump teaches that earning respect by being honest isn’t the only way. Fellow liars will respect you if you lie and always get away with it.

With dishonest false belief you get to swagger like the moral police without living by your proclaimed moral standards. You can claim the piety even as you cheat, lie and steal.

It’s a win-win for the false believer. Your supreme piety rationalizes acting like a pig. You’re free to cheat because you’re fighting on the side of the righteous. You feel both righteous and clever, saintly and sneaky. Smart because you embrace true virtue; smart because you know how to fight dirtier than your dumb opponents.

It’s more tawdry even than the 9-11 fundamentalists drinking and whoring before they suicide bombed the Twin Towers. As Susan Sontag dared to comment right after the bombing, it’s no good calling suicide bombers cowards. They made sacrifices. That’s a costly signal one can’t fake. Dishonest false belief is a better bargain than that.

In sum, three categories for fanatics:

True believers who really try to live by their principles.

Dishonest false believers who don’t try to live by their principles but pretend that they do.

Honest false believers who don’t try to live by their principles and admit it, not taking their beliefs seriously, while still going through the motions for ritualistic sake.

Another flip of political parties.

The Democratic Dixiecrats continued the ideology of the Confederacy – White supremacy – as presented by their foundation documents:

– Declaration of Independence of the Confederate States of Amerika

– Cornerstone Document

– Constitution of the Confederate States of Amerika.

These platforms are now the Republi-con Party ideology while the Democratic Party represents Freedom and Equality, fights against discrimination and bigotry, supports Voting Rights, Civil Rights, Constitutional Rights, Human Rights.

(13 Jun 2016)

‘Fair and Equal Treatment For All Under The Law’ except …

‘One of many rules & regs put forward by Trump defines ‘sex discrimination’ as only applying when someone faces discrimination for being male or female, and does not protect people from discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity.’

You can thank your fellow Republi-con, Drumpfian, and Deplorable members of Our Trans Community and Our LGBT Community who loyally vote straight-ticket Republi-con, voted for Crooked DrumpFuhrer In 2016, will persist voting straight-ticket for Republi-cons and Crooked DrumpFuhrer In 2020. You must be living an utterly pathetic existence in your cesspool of hate and bigotry.

POLICY-ISH
Transgender Health Protections Reversed By Trump Administration

June 12, 20204:46 PM ET
Selena Simmons-Duffin

Roger Severino, who directs the Office for Civil Rights in the Department of Health and Human Services, has long argued that “sex discrimination” protections in the Affordable Care Act aren’t meant to encompass protections for transgender people.

Updated at 7:29 p.m. ET

The Trump administration on Friday finalized a rule that would remove nondiscrimination protections for LGBTQ people when it comes to health care and health insurance.

“HHS respects the dignity of every human being, and as we have shown in our response to the pandemic, we vigorously protect and enforce the civil rights of all to the fullest extent permitted by our laws as passed by Congress,” said Roger Severino, who directs the Office for Civil Rights in the Department of Health and Human Services, in a written statement announcing that the HHS rule had become final. The rule is set to go into effect by mid-August.

It is one of many rules and regulations put forward by the Trump administration that defines “sex discrimination” as only applying when someone faces discrimination for being male or female, and does not protect people from discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity.

Supporters of the new rule said this is a necessary reversal of Obama-era executive overreach and will reduce confusion about the legal meaning of “sex discrimination.” Critics argue the rule could further harm an already vulnerable group — transgender people — in the midst of a pandemic and historic unrest spurred by the killing of George Floyd at the hands of police in Minneapolis.

“I can’t help but wonder if the timing [of this rule] is by design so that this is something that people won’t pay attention to,” said Tia Sherèe Gaynor, a political science professor at the University of Cincinnati.

What the final rule does

The rule focuses on nondiscrimination protections laid out in Section 1557 of the Affordable Care Act. That federal law established that it is illegal to discriminate on the basis of “race, color, national origin, sex, age or disability in certain health programs and activities.” In 2016, an Obama-era rule explained that protections regarding “sex” encompass those based on gender identity, which it defined as “male, female, neither, or a combination of male and female.”

‘Whiplash’ Of LGBTQ Protections And Rights, From Obama To Trump

In June 2019, under Trump, the HHS Office for Civil Rights proposed a rule (the one finalized this week) that reverses the one from the Obama administration.

Severino said at the time, “We’re going back to the plain meaning of those terms, which is based on biological sex.” He also said the rule could save hospitals and insurers and others $2.9 billion over five years since they will be relieved of the requirement to print notices of nondiscrimination in several languages and include them with any “significant” mailings.

Under the new rule, a transgender person could, for example, be refused care for a checkup at a doctor’s office, said Lindsey Dawson, associate director of HIV policy at the Kaiser Family Foundation. Other possible scenarios include a transgender man being denied treatment for ovarian cancer, or a hysterectomy not being covered by an insurer — or costing more when the procedure is related to someone’s gender transition.

The Trump rule makes changes to gender-based discrimination protections beyond Section 1557 of the ACA; it affects regulations pertaining to access to health insurance, for example, including cost-sharing, health plan marketing and benefits. The rule could also mean that those seeking an abortion could be denied care if performing the procedure violates the provider’s moral or religious beliefs.

Even with the rule now finalized, an LGBTQ person who is discriminated against or denied health care can still sue, and courts may rule that their civil rights were violated in such a case. But that’s not an easy avenue, Dawson said.

“Because of limited access to litigation, I think that it’s fair to state that the ramifications [of this rule] could be pretty significant,” she said. Protections will also vary based on where someone lives, she added, so the rule “creates a patchwork of civil rights, compared to standardized protections.”

For Severino, this move has been a long time coming. He joined the Trump administration from the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank, where he wrote a paper on gender protections in Section 1557. He’s also a devout Catholic and, as director of the Office for Civil Rights, has made protections of religious freedom a key focus, including the right of doctors to refuse to provide care that contradicts their religious or moral beliefs.

The rule the HHS proposed on gender and discrimination in health care garnered 155,966 public comments. The final rule is nearly identical to the original version proposed last year.

Conservative groups, including the Christian Medical Association, the Susan B. Anthony List and the Heritage Foundation, applauded the new HHS guidance.

“Health professionals know they must base medical decisions on biology and science, not ideology,” Dr. Jeff Barrows, the Christian Medical Association’s executive vice president for bioethics and public policy, said after hearing the announcement.

“We are hopeful that this rule will help steer consideration of gender issues in health care back toward science and away from politics and ideology, back to the protection of professional medical judgment and the freedom to adhere to long-observed ethical and moral standards.”

Telemedicine Takes Transgender Care Beyond The City

Ryan Anderson, a senior research fellow at the Heritage Foundation and former colleague of Severino’s, submitted a comment in support of the rule. Anderson said it simply reverses what he sees as the Obama administration’s executive overreach.

“Just for the lawmaking process, it’s important that the Trump administration clarify that that’s not what Congress had in mind when they used the word ‘sex,’ ” he said.

Critics worry about access to health care, especially in a pandemic

Mari Brighe, a freelance writer and transgender woman who lives outside Detroit, called the rule “terrifying.”

“I can relate a decade of stories about getting terrible health care because I’m trans,” Brighe said. “We walk into any given health care situation not knowing whether doctors are going to treat us well, whether we’re going to get high quality care, whether any given, random health care person is going to be terrible to us.”

Once, when seriously ill with the flu and having trouble breathing, Brighe recalled, she was sent home from a hospital in rural New York and ended up driving 90 minutes and crossing a lake by ferry to get treatment at a hospital in Vermont.

She said worries now that the rule could make transgender people — who are already reluctant to seek medical care — all the more likely to avoid coronavirus treatment and testing.

“The way that [the rule] reads to me is that people could refuse to collect your COVID specimen because they don’t want to touch a trans person,” she said. “That’s a recipe for spreading a really terrible pandemic among a really, really vulnerable population.”

“I can’t help but think about how this impacts black trans people,” said Gaynor, the political science professor, who noted that African American transgender people are “arguably the most marginalized group in our country.”

African Americans who get COVID-19 are much more likely to die from that disease than are white Americans, statistics show. A recent report from the Williams Institute at UCLA estimates that hundreds of thousands of transgender adults may be especially vulnerable to COVID-19 because they have an underlying condition, are over 65, lack health insurance or live in poverty.

For black transgender people, Gaynor said, “it’s layers of oppression — it’s transphobia on top of racism on top of economic oppression.” All of that could affect their ability to get health care during the pandemic, she said, which in turn could have public health implications for all.

Katie Keith, a health law professor at Georgetown University, noted that the new rule could have another chilling effect. “Even if no one actually does discriminate more because of the rule, you’ve created a fear,” Keith said.

She pointed to research documenting how the “public charge” rule — which penalizes people who are seeking to become citizens if they use public safety net programs such as nutrition and housing assistance — affected people and programs outside the scope of the rule itself.

“When they target these vulnerable populations, you see less enrollment in health insurance,” she said. “You see folks scared to go to the doctor.”

Sheriff’s Deputy Sues Her County To Get Health Coverage For Transgender-Related Care

Although the Heritage Foundation’s Anderson supports the rule, he said the prospect that it could have a chilling effect is “a very reasonable concern.”

“I don’t think any reasonable person wants to see transgender people not enrolling in health care plans and not having access to health care,” Anderson said. What’s needed, he said, is a “finer grain” approach to this issue — such as a new law in Congress that protects LGTBQ people from health care discrimination generally but carves out protection for providers to refuse to provide care related to sex reassignment.

What’s next? a word from the high court and, perhaps, Congress

Now that it’s marked “final,” this rule — which was issued by an agency of the executive branch — may now encounter hurdles via the two other branches of the federal government.

This month, for example, the U.S. Supreme Court is set to weigh in on two major cases on the meaning of the word “sex” in employment discrimination. The two cases involve issues closely related to the legal questions at play in Severino’s HHS rule, and the high court’s decision might have major implications for the rule’s legal footing.

Fresh Challenges To State Exclusions On Transgender Health Coverage

“It’s wild that they’re finalizing this rule before we have the Supreme Court decision,” Keith said.

Meanwhile, in Congress, House Democrats have already asserted that they strongly disagree with the HHS rule. In early May, Speaker Nancy Pelosi issued a statement that read, in part: “The Administration must immediately abandon this outrageous, un-American plan and give LGBTQ individuals the reassurance that they will never be denied the health care they or their families need.”

Now that the final rule is out, Congress does have a way of invalidating it, using the Congressional Review Act. That would only happen in this case if — within 60 days that Congress is in session — Trump were no longer president, and simple majorities in both chambers of Congress voted to block the rule. Even if Democrats win big in November, it’s not clear if that’s a possibility given the tricky timeline — Congress is typically in recess in August, and the COVID-19 pandemic may complicate matters further

The date at which the final rule would be able to avoid this congressional threat is a moving target, Keith said. “Folks are watching the calendar now [wondering], ‘When is that 60-day legislative deadline?’ “

What’s much more certain, she said, is that there will be lawsuits to try to overturn the rule or block it from going into effect.

On Friday, less than an hour after HHS issued its press release, LGBTQ activist group Lambda Legal said it would challenge the new rule in court.

“Today’s rule is a tragically failed public health policy and just flat-out illegal,” Omar Gonzalez-Pagan, Lambda Legal senior attorney and health care strategist, said in a written statement. “We will be challenging the rule because at a time when the entire world is battling a dangerous pandemic, which in the United States has infected more than 2,000,000 people and killed more than 116,000, it is critical for everyone to have ready access to the potentially lifesaving health care they need.”

Unless someone does file a lawsuit that results in a judge putting the rule on hold, it is set to go into effect 60 days from the date the rule is published in the Federal Register.

You know, I try REALLY hard to not be one of those, “If You Support Trump, I Can’t Be Your Friend” people, but in moments like this, I’m left to wonder, why is it so easy for you to protect him, but you will not speak up for me?

This rule is an attack. Wrong is wrong. This is wrong.

And your silence is deafening.

“HHS respects the dignity of every human being”. Is that the lie this administration tells itself to dull its conscience? Remind me what is at all dignified about discriminating against trans people? What is respectful about it? What is even humane about deliberately targeting us to deny us insurance, deliberately targeting us to allow us to be refused care by doctors?

This administration has been repeatedly attacking the dignity and respect of people like me: Ranging from

( 1) institutionalizing discrimination in schools against trans children,

( 2) in directing the department of education to ignore discrimination cases with trans people,

( 3) in housing with HUD and in emergency shelters,

( 4) in government contract employment,

( 5) in insurance,

( 6) in medical care,

( 7) in adoption and foster care,

( 8.) in the military,

( 9) in treatment of prisoners,

(10) in refugees seeking assylum from anti-lgbt violence,

(11) in erasing us from the census,

(12) in withholding federal funding unless schools deliberately discriminate against trans people in sports,

(13) in removal from even being allowed to be spoken about at the CDC let alone considered,

(14) in widespread nominations of outspoken anti-trans judges,

(15) in the justice department advised to refuse to stand up for or protect trans workers and even having trans people’s own department of justice petitioning the supreme court for open season in discrimination against us on the basis of sex in all employment public or private stating that transgender status “does not prohibit discrimination against transgender persons based on their transgender status.”

(16) in petitioning for removing references to trans people at the U.N.,

(17) in appealing against accommodating passports for gender neutral trans people,

(18) with the elderly or poor on medicare or medicaid,

(19) with discrimination in the federal grants process,

(20) with Tricare for military dependents and retirees.

And with the above many of these have had multiple repeat attacks playing out on trans people’s respect, and dignity.

But it’s just coincidence right? Not a deliberate systemic targeted approach with a clear and deliberate pattern of targeting over and over and attacking us and codifying and institutionalizing blatant discrimination? You would have to blind or dishonest to pretend that is not what’s happening. This makes me sick.

THIS IS MY PAIN!!!

You say you love and support me so tell me, where the fuck is your outrage at what this administration and the Republican party is doing to us #transgender folx?

Where the fuck is your voice for us?

Where are your signs of protest against what they are doing to us transgender people?

No, I won’t sit down and shut up or put aside my outrage to stand by your side while this is happening to us.

Us transgender people have put aside our stuff every single time to stand by your sides to help fight for your causes and your rights only to be brushed aside and told we’re just being selfish for wanting to know when the fuck will our lives be important enough for you to care about and fight for like we’ve done for you.

Women’s rights? We were there for you.

Civil rights movement of the 60s and 70s? We were there for you.

LGB movement of the 70s, 80s and 90s? We were there for you.

The right for same-sex marriage? We were there for you.

#blacklivesmatter ? We are there for you, again.

WHEN THE FUCK WILL YOU SHOW UP IN FORCE FOR US?

You want to know a reason the suicide rate of transgender people, especially our youth, is so high? This, this is fucking why. You only give us lip service, you don’t fucking take to the streets and take action for us.

Fuck you and your god damned words of support, give us your fucking action!!!!

Check your own fucking privledge!!!!

Democratic Coalition Against Trump

The Trump administration just finalized a rule that would remove nondiscrimination protections for #LGBTQ people in health care and health insurance. They chose to do it late on a Friday because they are truly awful people and they thought you would not notice.

Today is the 4th anniversary of the Pulse Nightclub shooting.

It’s Pride. We’re in the middle of a pandemic.

And the Trump Administration just erased rules to protect LGBTQ Americans from discrimination.

Once again the callousness, cruelty and division are by design

Equality Arizona

We must Vote Out the hate and discrimination of the Trump administration. – at every level of government from the Office of the President to our local school boards.

It is absolutely clear that the Trump administration does NOT respect the dignity of every human being. In fact it is abundantly clear that this administration does not believe that LGBTQ+ people, Black people, Indigenous people, other people of color, disabled people, or women deserve to be treated with basic human dignity and respect.

The reversal of protections for trans people is inexcusable – as is this administrations complete failure to respond to the pandemic, to the epidemic of police violence, and to the disease of white supremacy in our nation.

Democratic Attorneys General Association

Sadly, it’s par for the course that Donald J. Trump wants to roll back protections for critical life-saving care for some of our most vulnerable communities in the middle of an unprecedented public health crisis.

Last month, Massachusetts AG Maura Healey & California AG Xavier Becerra led a 21 Dem AG coalition calling on the Trump admin to abandon this dangerous rule change that undermines critical anti-discrimination protections for BIPOC, disabled people, women, & #LGBTQ individuals.

We should be focusing on expanding access to care, rather than discriminating against those hit hard by #COVID19.

It’s critical we elect leaders in November that agree.

Empowered Trans Women

I’m so sorry. 😔
All I can say is, let’s continue to fight like crazy.
Let’s mobilize.
And let’s make damn sure we get them out in November.

PS: if you STILL like Trump, please, please wake up.

Arizona TransAlliance

Once again, the Trump Administration focuses its hate on the utterly harmless and highly vulnerable transgender community, seeking to make it harder for us to get something so basic as healthcare. They will not rest until they have driven all trans people from public life.

‘Pure Evil’: Report On Trump Administration Draining Fund For FDNY’s 9/11 Responders Draws Outrage

TOPLINE A New York Daily News scoop published Thursday revealed that the Trump administration has siphoned around $4 million from the New York City Fire Department’s fund for its September 11 first responders, drawing outrage on the 19th anniversary of the attacks, but the U.S. Treasury says the money was diverted because of “delinquent debt” owed by New York City to the federal government.

KEY FACTS

The funds are part of the FDNY World Trade Center Health Program, which was established by the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act of 2010, a bill passed by Congress that provides healthcare to first responders who have suffered a range of illnesses from exposure to dust and smoke at Ground Zero.

“TRUMP DOESN’T ONLY HATE VETERANS, HE HATES FIRST RESPONDER HEROES,” tweeted actress Debra Messing in reaction to the Daily News report.

Fred Guttenberg, father of Parkland school shooting victim Jamie Guttenberg, said he was “F—KING P⁠—-ED” about the report, because his brother died of cancer from 9/11.

“From the administration whose identity is built on claims of honoring first responders,” Julie Cohen, director of the RBG documentary, wrote on Twitter.

“This doesn’t surprise me at all,” Army veteran and advocate Paul Rieckoff wrote on Twitter. “Trump did NOTHING to push for the extension of #Zadroga last year.”

“We are also working with Congressman King and others to examine any potential authorities to provide relief in this case to support our nation’s 9/11 heroes,” the Treasury spokesperson. told Forbes, but could not provide any examples of how they would do it, and did not have a timeline.

CRUCIAL QUOTE

“Here we have sick World Trade Center-exposed firefighters and EMS workers, at a time when the city is having difficult financial circumstances due to COVID-19, and we’re not getting the money we need to be able to treat these heroes,” FDNY Chief Medical Officer David Prezant told the Daily News. 

CHIEF CRITIC 

“Pure evil,” tweeted Dr. Dena Grayson, a medical expert who specializes in ebola and other viruses.
