Tariffs too. It's just a bit of "short term pain"...meaning, for about 4 years until someone comes in and reverses the horrible policies.
I spent his first 4 years hyper tuned in and stressing, and I called 0 Senators, wrote 0 letters, made 0 impact. THAT is the wrong call.
Either stop paying attention or take the time to actually contribute to the political process. Call your local political party and ask what you can do.
Extremely true. We are "customer obsessed" which is why thousands of users having an annoying screen popping up confusing them is prioritized below one lady who knows the CEO being unable to do an incredibly niche thing that we never said you could do on our platform.
He has never won as the incumbent.
This one won't happen though. It doesn't have the votes. It would require a Constitutional amendment, and thus a LOT of Democrats on board.
You can't freak out about every possible thing.
It obviously won't get close to passing but it would be incredible for Democrats if it did. He has zero margin in the House, nothing major is passing into law except tax cuts. All his executive order policies are inflationary.
So either he's crashing the economy, taking the blame for continued inflation, or getting nothing of consequence done. And he'd be 83 and asking for four more years. He'd get crushed.
It's not noon yet Trump isn't in charge and the DOGE is already coming apart at the seams.
President has the authority to declare it ok forever or at any time. Not a great law IMO.
Not yet but the law gives the president authority to determine whether the company is a national security threat once it meets all the qualifications in the law. So his "90 day extension" is legally him saying "actually they're not a threat" for 90 days and then "actually they are a threat" after that.
This is actually (spoilers for terrible movie Scales: Mermaids Are Real) the climax of the movie Scales. Mermaids can control water and their blood heals people in that movie, so hunters are trying to get their blood and then one guy tries a last ditch bad guy move and the main character pulls all the water out of his body and he horrifically melts.
Kind of made me side with the hunters at that point it's a horrifying power.
The Democrats in question would likely say they're upset progressives are getting mad at Democrats as if they have the power to pass bills or do much of anything. Yelling "do something" isn't helping when your party doesn't have any power.
Ironically the most power Democrats have is thanks to the filibuster, which Progressives campaigned against for years.
