I’ll live here and help who I can. I plan to get into gardening a bit and support local farmers, the main problem isn’t really trump but more how much fake bullshit the media is churning out and whether it actually manages to whip enough stupid scandals to cover for the complete corruption and incompetence of conservatives.
If it does turn into an insane fascist government, well if everyone took out exactly one fascist we’d run out of fascists very quick.
how many of these guys were in epstein’s flight logs?

Trump, tommorrow: “The afghanistan withdrawl was a yuge success. The taliban are great people, nicest people you ever met”
I think more dems are seeing that reforms need to be made. If democracy is expanded -especially in some way that abolishes gerrymandering or the two party system - the funds tying all these republicans into a single party will collapse for a time.
You see people like AOC willing to create consequences for the supreme court and people pushing constitutiomal amendments again. I expect if Biden wins again the next dem primary will be interesting. If he loses well, there’s a good chance we’ll become a one party system like russia at the federal level.
Ice machine + box fan
Put ice in a container with a large surface area, aim the fan at it. Empty the container when fully melted. Put ice in all your drinks
I think its also that “free speech” has become “you can lie to anyone for any reason and recieve almost no consequences” and in the age where media can be pushed and spun faster than it can be read there’s just no way our existing system can handle it.
This is why there’s a clear parallel to the 1940s where broadcast mediums pretty much did the same thing.
Now everyone has a megaphone and you get extra money if it snags eyeballs.
to change some of the rules around the court you need an amendment because they’re in the constitution (lifetime appointments, for instance.)
The 11th amendment was explicitly also added to overturn a supreme court ruling, so historically passing an amendment was not always a problem and if its a problem now maybe some effort should be placed into fixing the difficulty problem as well.
it will happen easily if biden wins. If the court majority becomes 5-4 liberal republicans will absolutely hop on board. Thats why dems should also float an electoral college reform and an amendment to ban gerrymandering. Even a ban on courts creating “immunity rules” should be floated since immunity is something that shouldn’t be handed out as often as the supreme court does it.
The amendment process is long and difficult and honestly being just willing to go through the extra steps makes good headlines.
this is a gimme. You show you’re willing to pass laws to reign them in.
Kicking the can like a dork
200 million is a pittance today. Vaccines are generally more effective than pills outside of antibiotics. But more importantly the USDA should be requiring more animal vaccinations and there should be more investment in vaccinating livestock if we’re going to continue to eat mammals and birds
I do think the funniest outcome of this is that the president could refuse to pay thomas and alito on the grounds “they’ve already been compensated” and we might even enter a situation where alito and thomas try to rule on their own case, further humiliating them
Correct opinion is correct
10 to 15 yrs later: “Line no longer go up! We need bailout!, if no bailout, line go down and politicians fired!”
Magical thinking. This man needs to be given a fucking medal for his stupidity
“Donald Trump shielded from child molestation charges by supreme court under presidential acts doctrine”
“Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas notes that presidential child molestation is a time honored american tradition starting with Thomas Jefferson”
Its stupid but its the only culture america has except fucking chickens.
pretty sure they could just pull the number of open tabs
