We’re all reaping it whomever sowed it.

Let Texas and Florida play nanny to the red states? Until Florida is underwater anyway.

New Republic headlines, echo chamber fodder.

The idea is to have income fof the executive branch, independent of congress. As is, a legislative branch check on the executive branch is that they hold the checkbook.

That said, wether or not he can weather everything burning around him remains to be seen.

There’s no compassion or honor play here. Trump doesn’t care about us and he certainly doesn’t care about the constitution. And the same goes for Elon Musk.

There’s nothing fake about a public Seig heil x2

Lawful neutral should be how it works, yes.

That may be the foam block they carve the cheese hats out of, thus demonstrating the fragility of the Tesla truck.

People get upset when you say standing in a street with a sign won’t do anything, but standing in a street with a sign won’t do anything.

These guys won’t even do town halls any more. They’re not going to pay attention to paper signs on sticks.

He’s married?!?

Given the well publicized cheating and alcoholism, reinforced publicly by Hegsbeth’s mother, this cannot be a healthy relationship. Even so, it’s bring your wife to work day, never mind national security and the potential for Jerry Springer vibes with that national security. I’m fascinated. What is this family dynamic?

Unless, like it sometimes occurs in healthcare, Hegsbeth requires a support person to help him retain and interpret information given by those with advanced degrees and experience. That’s my best guess. Second guess is the executive branch is now full low EQ in supporting individuals who cannot go 10min in their lives without another person attached to them. (You can’t watch this movie alone it must be done together, you can’t go back for surgery prep alone we must be together until the last possible minute, my adult self can’t spend the night anywhere with my person, mommy?).

I have so many questions.

It’s more than that. Every year the president sits down in public to be roasted. Maybe it’s lighter and more formal than Reddit, but it’s still a roast. Sitting in a chair for it at an event is much more pointed than passing headlines or essays.

This is the definition of culling the entire working class, this lizard brain level sentiment regarding one another.

Defense of a plastic faced immigrant billionaire with dead fish eyes when you profess to dislike immigrants, violations of the constitution, government overreach, and rich bosses who are neither fair or deserving of their employees. Or employers who choose the immigrant worker they can take advantage of (H1B) over an American.

Why? For no other reason than the “other side” thinks he’s bad for America, working class, and the constitution. Bad for We The People.

It’s masterful social engineering, really, keeping working class fighting each other instead of going after the cause of the decades long and ever worsening [class] problems.

This vibe, for lack of a better word, is more important than some may think. Having an official role for poking fun at the government once a year reinforces Democracy and 1A. This is an act that signals to everyone just how ok it is to point out flaws and say what you like about the federal government and the people in it, including the president. To remove the comedy element states the opposite.

The midterms will be the prequel to 2028

Trump stated in November that the Hatch Act was not to be enforced. This also means we can be harassed, threatened, cajoled, bribed, or just about anything, really, while standing in line to vote in 2028. If it even happens. It may. It may just count on the shenanigans happening in blue areas.

Protein replacement for poor people who could not afford meat. I don’t know what to recommend now. No one wants to live on beans, that’s misery personified.

Appraise: 4

Bluff: 19

Concentration: 1

Diplomacy: -34

Disable Device: -23

…

Rolls a 1 on Diplomacy skill checks just about every time.

You’re asking that like a dictator needs a legal byline for his actions.

Trump already announced he plans to prosecute anyone trying to enforce the Hatch Act.

The Hatch Act is what makes this illegal.

This isn’t going to happen.

Trump already made a point of saying, in November, after he won, he would go after anyone trying to enforce the Hatch Act. I’ve already posted the 6 min speech several times, it doesn’t show up in Google searches for some reason. YouTube. RFK channel. Trump 1A speech. Green crayon subtitles. 6min.

I didn’t realize we have bases there. Well, that does change things.

Shoot? No.

Tell them no? Yes.

This admin changed the rules, broke alliances, and is reforming us into a dictator/authoritarian government. This means the rest of the world owes them nothing. It’s not like the US wouldn’t detain a Greenlander at the border, they’ve locked up business owning Canadians with valid work VISAs.

There’s no obligation here. Turn them away verbally and let the world know if they bully in anyway. It changes the game.
