    Second ('Third') Trump Presidency Thread

    Public statements over the years. She’s occasionally supported measures and made arguments I’ve found hypocritical and/or disingenuous. I don’t think she’s corrupt, and I don’t think she even has the wrong motivations or goals, but I think she sometimes leans overtly partisan.

    Hasn't Canada robbed us long enough? Best I can do is Rhode Island.

    Second ('Third') Trump Presidency Thread

    Nah, he was referring to my preferences. Sturg surely wouldn’t enjoy an AOC presidency and isn’t asking how I think she’d change her policy proposals to be less progressive.

    Second ('Third') Trump Presidency Thread

    This is the trap we can easily fall down if we allow ourselves. A hypothetical President AOC would surely not govern with the same policy priorities as Trump, but if we would accept her governing in the same manner: ignoring court orders and bypassing Congress through EOs for speed and/or...

    Second ('Third') Trump Presidency Thread

    I’m not in the business of giving people those incentives. I’m not going to vote for the party allowing Donald Trump to do all this just to stop AOC from maybe doing the same.

    I would think this is a bit of a skewed metric actually. I don’t recall any of the other current t justices joining a court so ideologically slanted ‘against’ them. If you assume ideologically similar justices will ask similar questions, having fewer voices to ask those questions would lead to...

    Not in a primary, but it’ll depend on the opposition in a general. You have to admit the current Republican Party isn’t giving me very principled alternatives.

    Sure China is an existential threat to America’s golden age and all, but have you stopped to consider that TikTok is very popular amongst a surprisingly competitive voting bloc and they didn’t realize that when they started all this ban TikTok stuff?

    Second ('Third') Trump Presidency Thread

    I never supported those calls and it diminished my opinion of her. I think she’s got the right vision for how the Dems should be speaking to voters and where the party’s priorities should be, but her hyper-partisanship and justifications for the same behaviors she attacks on the right are a...

    But she’s called out this playbook for being unconstitutional. Surely sure wouldn’t change her mind on that if the policies were ones she liked.

    DOGE

    We’re going to pay people actual tax dollars to ensure exhibits that already exist and provides a cultural perspective, such as you might find in a museum, is removed from display. We will then presumably pay for suitable replacements. So glad we did this DOGE thing.

    The one thing I love about the tariffs is the insane range of people we get coming together to dunk on it. Everyone from the socialists who don’t understand why they should be a little bit quieter to Ben Shapiro hates these things and so the memes have been top-notch.

    Sure, but Elon and DOGE found trillions in fraud at USAID and Social Security so we’re set with just that revenue.

    119th Congress or Red Wave In Adult Land

    Needing a supermajority to stop the President from having unilateral trade power seems like a startlingly dumb thing that we’ve set up here.

    Unless Merrick Garland has been around for several hundred years longer than I thought, I don’t think undoing his policies will lead to arrests of journalists. There’s plenty of actual illegal and unconstitutional stuff happening in this Administration, let’s maybe cool it on pretending others...

    Shedeur Sanders is really about to be the most hated man in the NFL. In addition to anybody who doesn’t like his attitude, he’s now getting both the anti-woke crowd due to pundits questioning if his race is a factor *and* the anti-Trump crowd.

    You don’t understand. If we let an activist judge stand in the way of deporting a 2-year-old citizen without following the judicial process, MS-13 will murder every single American citizen.
