Trump's budget proposal for each year in his first term included cuts to SS. why can't they simply look at his history and understand that he doesn't give a fuck about SS?
Yeah, would totally be political suicide for a guy that got elected despite two impeachments, upteen felonies, etc etc etc and also happens to be a lame duck president.
No way would a guy who steals from his own charity take my social security to give himself a tax break.
And congressional republicans will do whatever he tells them to do.
 
So does rule of the people include getting rid of the Electoral College? Musk is defending his own actions as the will of the people (an election, even though he was not elected). So wouldn't the actual will of the people be the majority of voters? So he sees Trump's first term as being fraudulent? Not of the will of the people?
 


I swear I at first that referred to a Mr. "wetback" -- thank goodness, no. But really, cite a 528-year-old case??? Maybe go back and cite the Witchfinder General, too, since Alito likes him (I think it was Alito).

Utterly pathetic. Hey idiots, ever hear of the 14th Amendment? You know, the one that lets you file all these fucking lawsuits claiming religious discrimination?

Das Volk <> "the people" and we know exactly which one of those the fascists always mean.
 
All of Trump's Cabinet picks will be confirmed. Certain Senate Pubs will hem and haw but ultimately capitulate. There are no checks against Trump's (and fElon's) agenda this time.
 
It is so sad that these GOPers in Congress are so afraid of Trump. Dr. Cassidy just violated his Hippocratic Oath:

" I will follow that system of regimen which, according to my ability and judgment, I consider for the benefit of my patients, and abstain from whatever is deleterious and mischievous."
No he didn't. You see, he obtained a completely unenforceable promise from the man that he would not do what he has spent his whole life doing, that he said repeatedly while running for president that he would do, and has a financial interest in continuing to do so.

That's good enough for Hippocrates, isn't it?
 
Except Gaetz, who is now the moral floor for the GOP.
I considered adding the phrase "that come to a vote" to my first sentence but didn't bother. Gaetz was so laughably unfit and unqualified that he doesn't even count, imo. He was a sacrificial lamb to give Senate Pubs moral cover to confirm the remaining shitshow nominees. Even so, Pub pols are so beholden to Trump that I think a confirmation vote for Gaetz would have been close.
 
And I was responding to a poster who said it was "completely false" that Biden's 5.25T in additional spending was in any way inflationary. Of course it was.
You are such an idiot. I never said that spending during the Biden presidency was not in any way inflationary. I'm on the record here multiple times about the causes of inflation and yes stimulus contributed to it, but in a secondary or even tertiary way compared to other causes. You are the one who said Biden's spending caused inflation.

We can put this to rest once and for all. Do you agree that 1) Trump's spending contributed to inflation in the same way Biden's did, and 2) those spending policies were lesser causes as compared to supply chain disruptions combined with the shift in preference from services to consumer goods? If so then we are in agreement.
 
This seems like something you convey in private; otherwise, it seems to invite Trump to kick you in the nuts because you've telegraphed you've got no choice but to stand there and take it with a stiff upper lip ...
Jeremy Hunt worked for Liz Truss. He doesn't have the UK's best interests at heart.
 


“I’ve left instructions. If they do it, they will be obliterated, there won’t be anything left and they shouldn’t be able to do it. And Biden should have said that but he never did. I don’t know why. Lack of intelligence perhaps …”

Ahem. FLASHBACK

Um, Trump, your instructions would be meaningless if you were dead. Talk about lack of intelligence. I am so tired of this mook.

Good point

And as an aside:

Basically saying that Gaza is a demolition site and that we should find them some nice pieces of land elsewhere and build them some nice, habitable new spaces to live. Implies that other wealthy Muslim countries should pay for it.

Stepping all over his envoy’s conciliatory message:

This is exactly what a number of us have opined for 6-12 months, only to have magas and Good Germans claim we’re hysterical for believing the words coming directly from ttump’s mouth.

Seems the resident ttump soothsayers aren’t exactly prescient.
