I don’t think 9/11 would have been successful under him. The Clinton administration was well aware of the danger but the bush administration refused to talk to the outgoing administration. Heck the patriot act was only necessary because the bush administration was not doing its job and bringing together the information it received from various agencies. The patriot act was basically a work around against incompetent presidential administrations.
I often wonder where we would be at if the hanging chads went the other way.
Yeah I don’t know who these over 30 happy people are. The pres just said he plans to rendition citizens to a foreign prison anytime he reasons they did something to warrant it. My brother with kids is super worried. I don’t have kids but still not likin it.
sigh. was going to skip but you started you reply with only possible argument. And I get it I had knee jerk was to just not vote with them. The thing is trumps main focus right now is tearing apart the government but he does hit road blocks in that you can’t just fire people without reason unless they have not been there long. So its being fought and he is limited. In a government shutdown scenario the executive (trump) has to furlough people and can decide who is necessary and who is not. Courts can’t put a stop to it because its a furlough due to a shutdown. Then any bad effects can now be blamed on the democrats plus when the shutdown is over he can point to we ran well enough without the furloughed folks which is why they should be let go. The shutdown is not really a good option. I get the feeling but the smart move was to prevent the shutdown.
I already went through that it plays into his hands. now he can furlough whoever he likes and the court can’t say boo. right now the firings are being challenged and that is a good thing. - Look im adding this here as I meant to put it before. My knee jerk reaction was the same. Resist no matter what but I have outlayed why its worse to allow the shutdown is all. Be mad thats fine. But I just thought it over and realized the shutdown could be and likely would be worse and just allow trump to do what he is doing easier. He effectively is shutting down the government on a permanent basis.
government is not stopped. we have had government shutdowns and things keep going. non essential government as chosen by the executive arm of the government are shutdown. I have been through two or three shutdowns. everything is not shut down. I mean I have listed why its actually worse if its shut down in this particular scenario. there is not more to tell. it really does play into their favor and the only reason they would not want to overtly do it is optics.
eyup. A lot of laws and policies even into this millenium in major cities like mine were made to get people to bring their kids to school and talk with police and it made a significant difference in some pretty bad neighborhoods. Now it goes back to gang control likely.
The name are just waht they give them yeah. elon musk, donald j trump, vance mcduschebag…
Not to me. Its like a trolley problem where if you do nothing someone dies but if you flip it has the exact same outcome. Seems obvious that its better to not have a hand in it.
good. none of these people should be able to go anywhere in public without being booed. Typical conversations should be: Hey your one of the assholes fucking everything up.
waterways too were not great. this just confirms we are trying to be like china/india while they are trying to be like europe.
Again most is heavily weighted as fox news and the fly by night propoganda outlets that have arisen. Its like im a well respected profession and then a bunch of assholes say they are that profession to and now people talk about how my profession sucks but all the actual professionals with real training and experience are just lumped in.
news to me. Everything I see is lets fight the current administration by bitching about the democrats not quite doing enough in the past. Its only by rectifying the past that we can solve the future. do not be concerned about the present.
finally! I hate when peope are always blaming trump or maga or republicans for this shit when its been the democrats every time. reagans deregulation and tax cuts, bush juniors war on terror, trumps total idiocy. ALL DEMOCRATS! We need to stop fighting the republicans and work with them against our common enemy.
I still see this as unfair. The legitimate press majority does a somewhat decent job but increasingly bad as not enough depth is put in. The bad is unlimited because it is bullshit. “Newspapers” show up at my door with legitimate sounding names and that takes a whole lot more effort than throwing a website up. These things are not really the press but they technically make up the majority. These fake press entities could care less about the first amendment but the legitimate press does.
thats what I meant though. Once they can reliably control the military and the police they will be going after the second amendment like nobodies business.
certainly not the second. not while they don’t hold all power anyway.
I find this idea of the press being responsible absurd. I had no problem knowing about him from the press. I mean if you talking fox news or such sure but my local news stations were good as was ap and npr.
Likely anyone doing this is not able to pay for the medicare stuff and is using medicaid as well.
yup. im single income with a wife that has a lot of medical issues. We barely stay afloat but if I was single I would be rich. If we had universal healthcare we would be doing great to.
