Last time he didn’t know he had to hire his staff, he knew nothing (it was an extreme embarrassment, possibly the biggest embarrassment I can think of, Huge really). This time the staff was pre-organized and gathered essentially by project 2025.

Israel has universal conscription last I knew and they don’t seem to give a hoot about bombing everyone. I don’t think mandatory military service makes them any less willing to go to war.

Was with you till the draft comment. I didn’t think anyone should be drafted. If the people don’t willingly enlist, either your cause is shit, or your benefits don’t offset the risks.

A lot more than Republicans own guns in America. Only like 22% of America voted for Trump. Harris owns a gun, Biden owns a gun. It’s a false narrative that people who don’t support Trump don’t own guns. Not to mention if you take out the 65+ crowd, Trump would have lost the election. 65+ year olds aren’t much good at physical activities. Cut off the gas supply and MAGA implodes

Born in 89’. I’ve always hated PDF’s. Hey, do you want to enlarge your file for sharing? NO!

But you can make it so only people with money can edit it? NO!

Well we’ll let other people sign it for free, you just have to sit all of them down and teach them how to create a signature.

No, not that signature, that doesn’t count legally. We need you to buy a security certificate and link it to it.

Can’t I just create the cert on my computer?

Well yeah, but no one will accept it.

Fuck off me!

Decent digital currency wouldnt use much electricity and would stop hyperinflation occuring in countries experiencing extreme issues. Being that taxes are standardly on income and sales, where is it you are saying they are dodging taxes? (Bitcoin isn’t a good digital currency, but neither should a decent one be run by the country)

76% of Republicans support a dictatorship is what it says.

Not only that, but the same document that was protecting the rights of the people being illegally deported, is what protects those Republicans rights as well. Free speech, press, arms, privacy, jury, fair trial, and more. 78% are saying they would wave their rights to a dictator. It’s extremely short sighted

Unfortunately if he did so Trump would pick his replacement. So it wouldn’t be any better.

I responded to the wrong comment, here: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/comment/17519954

Yeah really our productivity in those terms just dropped to 2016 levels.

Now if you compare to Argentina’s struggles. People can see why there were so many people trying to get out of there. They weren’t criminals being sent out of their prisons, they were people fleeing a giant recession that left them starving.

The circled area is the blip that your source is referring to. The giant drop before it is from during Trump’s first term. Everyone thought we were going to hit a recessesion that would be a big issue. As you can see it was fixed extremely quickly. The wall street journal leans right and was using it as propaganda to promote Republican efforts.

I think they were trying to say the people looked “teeny tiny” and it just didn’t come across well in text.

About 250 could save millions of lives. Considering around 9000 die every day in the U.S. they would make a 2.7% uptick for one day, and maybe everything can get better

Yeah, people keep saying it’s early 1933 right now. So 6 years till war with our allies. (Doubt the timeline would be the same)

They’ve already been redacted and destroyed what was incriminating long ago. Right now they are just fabricating evidence to pin on political enemies. There isn’t a single piece of information this administration could ever say that I would believe anymore. They illegally took over all independent bodies of government to weaponize them. Why would anyone trust the world being told by a fraud. He has no dignity, no morals, ethics, apathy, empathy or any kind of soul left. If NASA said we put man on the moon again, I wouldn’t believe it. All the scientists should just go home. Every finding they make has no credibility and will all have to be re-done years from now to establish if it were even true. Cancer treatment from the U.S.? Doubt. We will need bodies in other countries to confirm the methods might actually work. Which means restarting all the research from scratch and spending all the money again.

Murder innocent women and children. You should deport the rest of the women and children to some place they’ve never lived and let the murderers take their homes. Spray paint a car, you should deport the spray painter to a prison in a country they have never lived in.

I see no inconsistency in their logic /s

I don’t think the title makes any sense. “Shift disaster prep to states”. It already is. FEMA as a federal entity cannot do anything on state property without direct assignment by the state. The states tell FEMA where when and what to do when there is an emergency. This is why Puerto Rico not having a proper plan set up was such a failure during Hurricane Maria. FEMA brought supplies, landed on airstrip. Had no legal rights to disperse any of it, and it sat for weeks. Pallets of water were on the side of the runway for a year while people had no access to clean water. I’ve been saying this for a long time, Florida has a great hurricane readiness plan. Every state should copy paste it and update it to fit it to their needs. Everything from building codes to dispersal is all put together to ensure quick efficient responses. It wasn’t long ago that Florida was a purple state with the Highest ranked Universities in the country. It’s just diminishing quickly

I’m waiting for people to connect the dots around my town. People’s rights begin with legislation and end with judicial decision. Being that the bill of rights is being overridden by the executive branch right now, judges have said so and the executive branch is saying they don’t care, it is fairly obvious the bill of rights no longer matters. So pick any amendment you like from the bill or rights, free speech, free press… Right the bear arms. Yup, gone. The conservatives nullified the right to bear arms and is cheering for it. By the time they think they should speak out about it, well they’ll maybe realize they already cheered for the loss of their freedom of speech. Oops

Hopefully it’s done by the states, so they can’t defend it.

Note Rubio saying they aren’t going to stop, when explicitly told to by a judge. That’s called sedition last I knew.
