Trumps Presidency 2025

[romad1]

I spent more than my fair share of time in the 90s in college defending the Military's policy pre-Don't Ask, Don't Tell.  I think its weird how I no longer give a crap about any of this except in the reasonable accommodation aspect.   Reasonable has a different meaning in a war zone.  However, war zone has a different meaning in the modern World too.   We are in a war zone in our homes because there is a threat to the country burrowing into our data systems from China, from Elon for Russia.   Its not all the volcanic ash of Iwo Jima or the jungles of Vietnam or Burma anymore.

Military is desgined to create killers. F pronouns.

Women can't kill. What bushel have you been hiding behind. Women who become men can't kill? I dare you to try that theory out.

Don't you know that people who use pronouns are weak?  

I don't use pronouns and think they are unnecessary, but seeing the right freak out over them is amusing.

Edit:  I was going to change that back to "from Elon, from Russia" but I like it better with the glitch.

I love this.  It’s the perfect example of Trump logic that’s only able to see the move that’s right in front of him.   

if he had his way, Canada would be the largest state and have the most electoral votes.  All of which would end up blue.   Maybe this Canada idea isn’t so stupid after all.

Yeah I’ve been wondering that—how would a sovereign country with 10 different state-like provinces and three territories be subsumed as a single state into the United States? That seems like that might be the only way the red hat party would, as electoral politics are currently constructed, get a political benefit in the long term—maybe.

A country of 41 million would become the second most populous state in the union, and dividing up the presumably 540 electoral votes (that’s an extra two senators for the 51st state, everything else stays the same), that would be something on the order of 40-ish electoral votes for the state of Canada—all of them likely to go to Democrats for the foreseeable future, especially true after a forcible takeover of their country.

It would be even worse for the red hats electorally if each province came in as its own state, at least the ten current provinces. The red hats would be certain to win only Alberta and probably Saskatchewan. They probably wouldn’t even win Quebec, because all the fire-breathing political right wingers they have up there are also social liberals who hate religion, and that doesn’t comport with red hat ideology. The other seven new states would be locks for the Democrats—again, as electoral politics are currently constructed.

Which means the only way this could be a political win for red hats is to overturn the Constitution and create a new political order in which free and fair democratic elections no longer figure into the political calculus. And even though I firmly believe Canada becoming the 51st state is merely a canard to keep us all arguing amongst ourselves and stop paying attention to how they are destroying our democracy right now, I think they’re already planning for that eventuality regardless, don’t you?

Or they already know election rigging works since they just got away with it.

Trump: "I'm going to **** all over the Constitution of the United States. Because I, and I ALONE will tell you what the law is. If I want to **** you in the ASS, I can do it... because I AM the law. There IS no more Constitution. ISN'T THAT RIGHT, MAGA"?"

MAGA: "WOO HOO!!! CHEERS!!!"

Trump (or Elon under his auspices) goes and fires a bunch of people regulating nuclear warheads and USDA professionals working on bird flu and, after realizing his administration ****ed up, has to go back out and try to find these folks and reconnect to try to hire them...

No wonder Holic would rather go the "noun, verb and pronoun" route lol

I'll have Kennedy put you in charge of this

[pfife]

So trump signed an eo saying president and ag only can decide the law.

Old enough to remember the local troll making fun of Biden re ERA. Or student loans.

Just more hypocrisy

AP: Kennedy says panel will examine childhood vaccine schedule after promising not to change it

Make Polio Great Again. Make Measles Great Again. Make Diptheria Great Again. Make Hepatitis B Great Again. Make Rubella Great Again. 

[Mr.TaterSalad]

Altering the childhood vaccination schedule, on the scientifically unfounded basis that vaccines cause autism, is so dangerous and destructive. There is a reason we don't have children and adults living in iron lungs today. The is a reason we've be able to control measles, mumps, and rubella outbreaks and that they're not killing thousands and thousands of kids every year. For RFK Jr. to re-examine and change the childhood vaccination schedule without thorough and rigorous scientific research behind any decision being made will potentially have a significant, negative impact on the health and welfare of kids around the country. 

[oblong]

this admin caters to stupid people.  It's a simple as that.  Conspiracy believing numb nuts.  It's no wonder so many home schooling religious moms fall for the RFK Jr bull****.  They have low self esteem and need to find a way to make themselves look smart.

He really does only have concepts of a plan. Wouldn't it be great if all manufacturing was in the US? Let's just push this button and see what happens.

if he actually followed through on eliminating the carried interest deduction it might help manufacturing as much as his tariffs. If outfits like Bain were less profitable more manufacturers would probably still be in business instead of dismembered. But that's one I'm sure he'll get talked out of before it ever happens.
