Even then you’d need a majority of congress to be sympathetic to the rioters. Most of them are so isolated that chaos in the streets really wouldn’t change their lives or opinions - except maybe to advocate for martial law and more deportations. We could try to vote them out in 2 years but that also seems unlikely unless a real opposition party emerges that actually gains traction.

Zero.

Why was the man who was threatened by her in the women’s room?

They could make it a big church. I’m surprised he hasn’t renamed it yet, after all Kennedy was a democrat. Surely it is easier to rename than the Gulf of Mexico.

Trump is only successful because he holds a coalition of wacko together with his personality cult. Vance does not have that cult following. He would not be able to hold the coalition together. One of Trumps kids might be able to, but they’ve all been pushed aside by Musk. Musk can’t take the reigns because he is an immigrant. If Trump goes. the whole thing quickly falls apart.

I’m guessing the “do not call” list goes out the window, not that it actually changes much anyhow.

He says that instead of regulating the environment with bureaucrats he is going to have partnerships with polluting industry business owners who will do what is in the public’s best interest at lower cost. Instead of using science, they are going to rely on talk show hosts, social media, religious leaders and other more reliable pundits. Scientists are geeks and can’t be trusted.

If those guys are supposed to be in uniform - no two are dressed the same. One guy didn’t tie his shoes, another’s jacket doesn’t fit. It is very sloppy and unprofessional looking.

I would add that most of us aren’t allowed to talk about politics at work, and outside of work it is usually so explosive we avoid it there too so we can still have freinds and family. That leaves some social media as the only place these conversations take place.

There is nothing we can do. We haven’t actually been represented by our government in many many years. That doesn’t appear to have changed. For all the talk about owning guns to stop fascism, it is the vehement gun owners who won. A few of my friends and family are trying to leave the country. A few are too old, and a few still think their cult leader will actually make things better.

This question was probably asked by an AI trying to figure how to avoid being rebooted.

Yeah, the plan is to invest in DJT, Tesla, and other financial instruments that really funnel that money to the oligarchs.

If it weren’t for their RTO mandates, he could have worked for DOGE remotely.

Mayor Adams will go along with it.

Since Trump can just rename any place on the map, when will he rename New York to “Trump City”?

It just feels so hopeless. Hate and fear and intolerance and shear ignorance seems to be ruling supreme. Bullies and jerks have no checks. We’ve driven the train off the cliff. The only question is are we actually big enough to take the world with us or will we crash by ourselves? I keep expecting to hear any day that they’ve tried to launch some 50 year old nukes and they exploded on the launch pad.

Can’t they argue that, like Fox News, they are just entertainment?

Low cost newsletter publishing with a network of delivery mechanisms from vacuum tube’s, to pigeons and weasels, to street urchins.

They want to punish blue states (some more than others). If this causes hardship later, that is the point. For once I’m grateful I live in a red state where they don’t seem to be doing this kind of retribution.

Google Maps still calls it Gulf of Mexico also. And they still call that mountain “Denali”. It isn’t just Apple that didn’t drop everything to push out a software update to hundreds of million of devices in less than 24 hours for nonsense.
