    No they didn't. And most of the people that died, were Republicans.

    Well, if the GOP allow those recess appointments, we know what's on the menu and just how fucked we get as a nation.

    So, the question will be will Johnson be able to FORCE a senate recess like I linked before and the Supreme Court go along with it, or will they stop it?

    Assassinating cartel leaders which will… create a power vacuum to be filled by other cartels? Let alone the notion of projecting American boots on the ground into foreign nations without their consent. I thought Trump wasn’t supposed to be the “Warhawk” candidate?


    Doesn’t Trump know he doesn’t need to make inane campaign promises anymore? He should leave well enough alone and just focus on lining his pockets and save us his demented moralizing.

    Who says he is making inane campaign promises? This is his second term, he has no need to run for re-election, this is Trump unchained and doing what he originally wanted to do without the risk of losing the next election.

    This is Trump's version of taking his mask off.

    Edlt: This is a guy who wanted to shoot US protesters with live ammo just to take a photo op. You can imagine what he wanted to do but even he thought was too much to ask for a first term.

    ya, he *ONLY* wanted to shoot them in the legs. Just keep the camera high for the photo while the protesters writhe in agony on the ground out of frame.
    "Law and Order", lots of places have had that, Russia, North Korea, Saddam's Iraq.
    Laws can be made to enforce order of cruelty and brutality.
    Equality and Justice, that is how you have peace and a society that benefits all.

    Pretty much. He what we had last time was Trump trying to restrain himself. And just think about that, THAT was Trump holding back his darkest impulses. He doesn't have to hold back near as much now.

    Part of me still wonders if Trump did work out something with Johnson to try and get Johnson to force a recess in both houses and take it to the courts to get his recess appointments. Because he is trying to put in loyalists who would go along with all this stuff gladly (Or he thinks they will at least).

    We read Project 2025 and that was what they posted with pride, can you imagine what they didn't want to post and let the world know until it was too late?

    people forget that alot of the US manufacturing is assembling and when you make the base materials for the things your assembling more expensive you end up reducing the total manufacturing jobs even if you protect one industry like steel, george bush did heavy steel tariffs in 2002 and it partly contributed to the manufacturing slowdown that was later blamed on too much free trade.. im for tariffs on china but on national security grounds not trade grounds.. mexico makes little sense.. canada makes 0 sense.

    If you were in a right-wing media bubble this was the case. If you lived in the real world, though, you understood that guidance evolved as understanding of the brand new virus did, and that's how the scientific process works.

    Hmm; isn't this when the death rate disparity between "more vaccinated Blue America" and "less vaccinated Red America" started being relevant?

    Red hats trying to blame Biden for the first year of Trump's response where he fucked up from day damn one where he slowed response, lied about the virus, said it was a hoax, slowed the response some more, tried to open up the country early, only reacted when red states started to get affected, told people to take untested cures, and suggested injecting light and disinfecting lungs.

    It's a multi billion dollar industry and they buy I mean lobby a lot of politicians. The US has a lot of industries that provide no value but make billions a year and are protected by the government.

    All that matters is what he is to the tRump supporter.
    He's:

    anti-war
    pro-union
    religious
    smart
    fit and healthy

    And so on. They have constructed a complete fiction of the cult leader in their own minds.

    Banks love holding unstable debt. That way they get to keep a loaded gun to the head of the entire economy and force the government to give them bailouts when they fail epically because otherwise they would take literally everything with them if they were let to fall on their own. If they were going to collapse just a little bit, the government wouldn't have to come to the rescue.

    Elon Musk, the man who paid $44 billion to put Trump back in the WH, demands the removal of regulator agencies and also wants the IRS defunded.

    Congratulations, @tehdang this must be exactly what you voted for three times on purpose. Aren't you happy? Why don't you, as an honest and genuine poster, tell us how happy this move is, to someone like you who voted for Trump three times and supported him the entire way.
