What a miserable bunch of human beings!!!

Trump and company are being sued by Association for the Deaf because they want to end sign language at white house briefings.. God give me strength...

"The novel argument is just one part of the White House’s case against providing ASL interpretation, and DOJ attorneys haven’t elaborated much on the alleged intrusion. But it has raised concerns among advocates, and even the judge in the case.

U.S. District Judge Amir Ali issued an order last month requiring the White House to provide real-time ASL interpretation for Trump and Leavitt’s briefings, rejecting the administration’s argument that closed captioning and transcripts give Americans who are deaf or hard of hearing sufficient access to the president’s statements."

as well as for those who are female, racial/ethnic minorities or LGBTQ, are considered "woke" and discriminatory against able-bodied straight white native-born Christian males, the only people worth protecting or assisting any more. Diversity, equity and inclusion are bad because DEI means you have to include all sorts of people and treat them equally, which means unfairly and evilly removing the advantages previously enjoyed by the aforementioned able-bodied straight white native-born Christian males, as God obviously has mandated. If you're used to privilege, equality feels like oppression - doesn't it, boys?
