I have identified the things he is doing that I don't like. Those haven't changed. That's not the same as "I don't like the things he is doing"

As someone that appears to understand the need for checks and balances, and accountability, you cant really be ok with him completely ignoring the guard rails in place to keep the US from becoming a dictatorship, correct?

Or are you ok with a dictatorship, as long as it's your dictator.

All his moves are that of a dictator, unless the legal system works and limits his power.

It would allowing me nice if Congress performed a they should, but we know they are scared of him.

The very kind people (not me) on this board and IC have spent 15+ years trying to have good faith discussions with you. They have shared 10's of thousands of reliable sources of information, yet here you are, dumb as ever. Trying to defend the indefensible.

I wouldn't describe myself as woke (calling people woke is like porn to you fake Christians). I would describe myself as hating you. Everything about you is repulsive.

I'm simply here to make fun of you, and god-willing, hopefully take a massive dump on your face while holding one of your guns. 🤞

And now you want to have a civil discussion, while Trump is destroying most decent things in this country.

In case I haven't said it before, fuck you, you stupid rube.

You are the very definition of woke. You are also the definition of people who were repudiated in the election. So hate away. You are now an afterthought and hopefully will be further neutered over the next 4 years. If I had just been relegated to the trash heap and deemed useless by a majority of voters I'd be angry too. You would be lucky not to shit your pants while holding a gun barney

I know very little about the law, but is it the assumption moving forward that the Trump administration will appeal these rulings to SCOTUS, where we then face the following possibilities?

1) SCOTUS kneecaps the judiciary and Trump wins;

2) SCOTUS retains a shred of legitimacy; Trump backs down;

3) SCOTUS retains a shred of legitimacy; Trump still doesn't back down

I predict that SCOTUS will roll over to preserve the appearance that they still have some legitimacy. Trump and Musk can’t defy SCOTUS if SCOTUS just agrees to everything they want.

Correct that I'm not in favor of a dictator regardless on any party affiliation (fully support 2 term limit for potus) and believe very strongly in checks and balances including not eliminating the filibuster.

Trump policies affect me none at all. A majority of voters are quite stupid like you, I'm shocked.

I'll be here for the foreseeable future (nyc-willing) explaining to you in great detail why you are trash.

Shut the fuck up or take your tired shtick to truth social. No one here, especially Carolina grads, gives a fuck about why you are stupid rube.

I lived in NYC for years. You're right -- the cost of living is high. Again, what are you complaining about? They maxed out all the other options. You know what NYC doesn't have a lot of? Empty buildings.

I don't know.....the border towns, that are actually flooded by migrants and have been for decades, figure it out and I suspect they aren't using a lot hotels because the towns often aren't the type that would have lots of hotels in the first place.

Find a better place to send them, tell them there's no space here (NYC) and they will be transported to a better option.

These are more the people you need to talk to and those like them.


For five months, Gov. Greg Abbott bused migrants to Democrat-led cities to draw attention to the number of people arriving at the Texas border.

He began with Washington, D.C., then expanded the busing to New York and Chicago. At least 11,000 migrants have been removed from the state, by all accounts voluntarily.

But an attempt by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis to deploy the same tactics last week took the issue to another level, when the state flew planes to Texas, allegedly lured migrants onto the flights by promising jobs, housing and services and a free trip to Boston, and then left those migrants in Martha’s Vineyard, an island resort town about 100 miles away. Three of those migrants have now sued DeSantis in federal court.

Okay, we are back on track. Let’s discuss this and the present administration.

Then I don't understand some of the support for actions where he is clearly overstepping the guidelines of the office?
