    Of course it gets its news from Breitbart. I'm sure this is a shocking revelation to everyone here.

    Yeah, in less than a week the president pulled a rug pull TWICE, then signals that he wants to end birthright citizenship and is openly selling the country to the highest bidders

    Remember when Trump had to bail out farmers to save them from the tariffs he had passed

    Sounds like house republicans want to use the government in a retaliatory way. Some might call that weaponizing the government.

    That just sounds so bad. Like say it out loud to yourself. We’ve really gotta fix the problem with the permanent underclass.

    So, blanket amnesty and a fast path to citizenship for anyone with employment?

    Breaking down the capitalist economy to instill a socialist system driven by worker-owned companies and the complete collapse of the uber-wealthy upper class?

    If you're not for these things or something very similar, you're not actually interested in fixing the permanent underclass. You're interested in enhancing the cruelty inflicted upon that underclass.

    Congress putting FEMA in the budget and Trump just removing FEMA sounds like another Constitutional struggle on the way. Simply put, Senators and Republicans are elected by their state/district, so letting them die in a fire or flood might be a step too far.

    But I think you're right, and sadly, it's the only way out. The only way some people will realize voting for a fraud felon senile retarded sociopath was a mistake, is when it actually hurts or kills them. He lost 2020 because of COVID, so the theory has some backup. It may take "Sharpees don't deflect hurricanes" part two before the Gulf of Mexico states realize emergency food and shelter is a good thing.

    Commissar Musk has a kind of ring to it.

    I mean, he's signed some E.O.s that are declarations of policy, and hired some people. Not too much has actually taken place yet, for you to make this kind of comparison to Geroge Washington, Abraham Lincoln, or recession-ending Osama bin Laden-slaying Obama. Surely you're willing to back this up your honest, genuine post that meaningfully adds to the conversation?

    I feel like we're still in the "Yappin" phase of hot and heavy EO's because Heir Donald wants to be Supreme Leader.

    And we're going to start seeing quite a bit of pushback when states, major companies, and other big players start seeing how much chaos this is causing and how much it's rocking the boat and how they don't like that at all.

    Maybe I'm just hopelessly optimistic, here.

    Anyways, are we great again, yet?

    That, and Congress will be necessary for some of Trump's crazier campaign promises. All he's really done is announce policy, take the Constitution off whitehouse.gov (yes, he did that) let Elon Musk buy a new Cabinet seat and free 1500+ violent terrorists.

    HE KILLED THE EQUAL EMPLOYMENT ACT

    Not really.

    The Legislation is still in effect.

    He killed the EO from Lynden B. Johnson that enacted those protections for federal contractors before the law was passed.

    First week of the Trump administration and there are already egg shortages


  18. #95978
    $10 a dozen?! I thought egg prices would go down?!?!?!?!

    At least the price of insulin is going back up so we can pay more for that, too. It's a good day to not be a regular egg eater, still.

    Elections have consequences. You're seeing the direct result of Dem overreach for the last 4 years being manifested by the voters revolting against them.

    Bird flu, similar to what happened earlier during Biden's term.

    That's contradictory to Trump's entire campaign where he claims he will lower egg prices with I want to say magic, if it's just the bird flu you also admit that it factually wasn't Biden's fault.
