I've been avoiding this forum on purpose, as well as limiting my news intake, simply to help ensure my own well being.  This ****upery from Trump is next level.  Roughly 10 days in and it's shaping up to be such a monumental disaster.  The only thing I wonder is if the economy begins to tank, does he back out of everything and kick out Elon, or does he see this through. 

 

Wen it comes to the money, it’s not about our economy. It was never about our economy. It is always about his net worth. They control all the money we paid in. Now it’s theirs, unless/until someone can stop them, someone like the courts, the civil service, or (*giggle*) Congress.

He won a majority... There's no way to fix this situation that doesn't involve his voters.

I am as angry as you are about everything happening, but if we get through this, it involves changing hearts and minds

Changing their hearts would require them changing their minds, meaning, admitting they were wrong all along. Really tall order, and I would guess that practically no one is close to admitting they’re wrong yet.

I've seen a bunch of people say that Dems can grind Congress to a crawl if they wanted. Others say they cannot as MAGA controls both houses. I don't know enough about Robert's Rules of Order to say who is correct. I did see idiot Tommy Tuberville (who thought the 3 branches of the US government were the Senate, the House and POTUS) derail 100s of DOD appointments for months on end.

What I do not see is Dems EVEN TRYING to slow down the oligarchs.

I love the wishful thinking but they aren’t going to come around.  They are brainwashed.  They can lose everything because of his policies and will just blame it on the woke left.    They don’t have the brainpower and are easily controlled.   

It’s not that they don’t have the brainpower, or more exactly, never had the brainpower. They weren’t educated properly. That’s the real problem. No history, no civics, nothing requiring critical thinking. And that being the case, you’re right—they’re long gone.

They can beg for our forgiveness if they ever actually change, not the other way around.

I agree. We can’t proactively forgive them when they don’t even want it and then beg them to accept it and join us.

Dems literally have multiple lawsuits that stopped multiple executive orders. Elections have consequences. They aren’t helicopter parents.

Our little radical left Canadian brains just don't understand. We just need to stop fentanyl and illegal immigrants from crossing the LARGEST UNDEFENDED BORDER IN THE WORLD...

How does one become a member of your country? I want to live in Montreal. I don't talk to people, so the language barrier is of no issue to me. 

[CMRivdogs]

This is the way most MEGAs think, you can never reason with them because they think they know everything already. Like arguing with a four year old

Have a friend that works for a non-profit that helps foster children, and their federal funding they rely on has been decimated. If you consider yourself pro-life and still support this administration…you are NOT pro-life.

I'm not sure but plenty of people in the city speak English. Outside of the city they may refuse. Canada is facing the same housing crisis as the rest of the world so immigration may be more difficult now.

A lot of business in the senate is conducted using unanimous consent to proceed.    The Democrats definitely could grind the senate to a halt by not agreeing to unanimous consent.

I didnt stay in a holiday inn express but have read multiple caro books about lbj in the senate.

Please put your foot down someone in the Senate

I've been to Montreal before. I'm not a world traveler, but it's my most favorite place. The few people I interacted with spoke English. They would start by talking French and I would ask them if they spoke English, and they switched. I would be worried now how an American will be perceived there. Do I go around with a Harris shirt?

We love our neighbors. My sister and nephews live in Michigan. You should be safe as long as your face isn't orange.
