Second ('Third') Trump Presidency Thread

Look, it’s fucking silly but when did we suddenly become pro-corporate layoffs? Thousands of people losing their jobs should always be a big deal, and I don’t think it’s bad for workers to band together to support their terminated colleagues when it happens.

Can’t lie…the posters made me laugh
I’m not going to get up on a soapbox over this or anything, but I don’t think it’s ideal in the long-term for the Attorney General to suggest that a doctor faking medical records and defrauding the government by throwing out vaccines was just doing a public service instead of a crime. Parents should have been free to make whichever choices for their children they saw fit, but to pretend someone was vaccinated who wasn’t, including apparently to the patient themselves, doesn’t work for me. Do the children or the parents of children who chose to keep their children in settings where the vaccine was required for attendance not deserve informed consent? This strikes me as a “rights for me and not for thee” deal.
Fucking hell, dudes. SCOTUS is willing to give you all but a blank check to do as you please on deportations. Why is it so important that you be allowed to trample the very few protection these people have by randomly sending them to the worst countries on Earth within a quarter of a day?
Team Trump realized that they can’t talk their way out of Epstein and have decided that Biden enlisting a scribe for his insanely unethical pardons is the real story today.
Seriously, why are we not just talking about how Biden himself issued the exact types of nonsense pardons that should get a President impeached? There’s a real conversation to be had, and it’s being muddied for political convenience.
I do, however, hope this leads to a renewed zeal for limiting the autonomy of the Executive Branch. Between governing through EOs, whatever we’re doing with National Emergencies these days and the overly broad protections of Executive Privilege, we afford too much leniency to the person who can unilaterally direct the military if we let them. While it’s important to have transparency in who is making the decisions and I take no issue with Congress investigating the use of the auto pen, it will be a complete fucking waste if we don’t also address the fact that if we don’t trust Joe Biden’s advisors to do it why we would trust Biden himself in the first place.
