It’s not one person charting this path.

3% = DJIA just closed its worst day since June 2020

I know next to nothing about Suess’ personal life so I may be totally off, but I also watched some people I would have never considered racist become incredibly racist towards arabs after 9/11. Without knowing any further details, that last panel reeks of “common” post-pearl harbor sentiment.

*profits not guaranteed. in the event of mass economic collapse, cross your fingers for a bail out. This is not financial advice.

What a fucking champ. Lay it on Booker

I realize I’m playing advocate for a devil that needs no help, and I hope you’re right. Simply saying there are arguments taking place that seperate the requirements of “being elected” as defined in the 22nd vs “being eligible” as defined by article 2.

As it’s been explained to me, this interpretation would of course be challenged, and ultimately determined by our wonderful supreme court.

I agree it would be a temporary measure. Realistically Republicans only need ~6 more governors on board before they can start talking constitutional amendments, and do away with these pesky restrictions all together.

Well, trump wouldn’t be elected into position - that is explicitly prohibited. So no running for him or Obama.

The “loophole” is that he’s trying to line up a coordinated effort to elect other GOP members. After elected they’ll nominate trump into the line of succession as Secretary of State or another unelected position. Once the pawns are in place, the line of succession simply has to step down until it falls to him. Third term without breaking the “elected twice to office” condition.

Snyder moving to Canada is like finding a dead canary in the cole mine… Crap.

Chosen by him, but he can’t fire the VP. Pence would have been gone Jan 5 if he could. Fun note, VPOTUS used to be the presidential runner up, until the twelth amendment. That’s a bit why the office is protected and elected seperately.

The right time to go back in is whenever this admin is done, there is no “low” when the floor keeps falling out.

They’re still peddling that other countries pay tariffs, which becomes “US revenue”, and Americans will get a big tax break because importers pay our taxes now.

Yep.

Fired!? Heavens no, multiple people should be in jail. but best we can do is pardons and maybe a raise.

I assure you you’re not naive. They didnt do background checks or security onboarding for the cabinet “because it would take too long”.

I’m not good at this emoji stuff

I’ll stress that’s just to get in the door. Usually if you’re going to the doctor they’ll want to run xrays, CT scans, MRIs, blood tests, whatever diagnostics and it starts escalating fast.

But this is stuff people can plan for. Emergency visits are much worse in my experience, suffering from appendicitis would have put us $40k in the hole overnight without insurance.

A bad cold or flu you probably wouldn’t go to a doctor, just an urgent care clinic for some antibiotics or whatever. Probably run $100-$150 + cost of meds (hopefully generic).

If urgent care can’t help, an out of pocket visit to primary care provider will be closer to $300 just to step in the door. Hospitals will put you on a payment plan if you can’t front it.

“And with all the money they’re saving from the fraud, they could afford to give their senior citizens an increase,” said Lester, who is retired from construction work.

Wow, they really think Trump is compiling some kind of jackpot that’ll pay out big to the people. Looking more and more like US really are a nation of suckers.

Full agreement about the “team sport” and them setting the field for trump, but traditionally gop members had to be team corporate interests first to even get on the bench.

But perhaps it’s just me being shocked at the realization juggernaut companies like Ford and Intel are now being treated as “little guys” in the party controlled by individuals with billions in personal wealth.

No doubt. I just remember a time when ‘god, guns and gains’ were the only consistent republican policies, and this wasn’t long ago. Declaring the stock market irrelevant would have had them booted from the party quicker than you can say dow jones.

Now here we are, watching maga cult handwave it all away to liquidate. Just insane.
