Been a hot minute since I’ve been in here 👀 I see it’s still pretty much an echo chamber though….

I believe his quote from the campaign was “She (Harris) will lead us right to the brink of WWIII!” Quite a turn of events!

All these images of cars being set on fire, rocks and bottles being thrown at law enforcement and disobeying orders to disperse are playing right into Trump’s hands.

Actually, most polling would suggest a majority do support current immigration policies, which is part of the problem.

Wise idea given his history with insurrections

This is all a distraction. Right wing media has also been hyper focused on Biden lately as well. It’s all meant to take attn. off the news about Elon’s rage tweets and the CBO’s of the Big, Ugly Bill!

I’m not talking about MAGA

There’s been a slew of officials leaving the party lately, so while there might be an argument to be made about this being a move of opportunity, we can’t ignore it he fact that the party is losing touch with many Americans.

I remember when Trump and the GOP constantly whined about Biden blaming everything on Trump. Apparently it’s cool with them when it’s the other way around.

How *not* to protest against the atrocities in Gaza. No wonder the Dems. are so unpopular.

Also Republicans under Biden: ‘Stop blaming everything on Trump! Take responsibility!’

“If I win, when I’m president-elect and what I’ll do is I’ll speak to one, I’ll speak to the other, I’ll get them together. I know Zelenskyy very well and I know Putin very well. I have a good relationship and they respect your president, O.K., they respect me, they don’t respect Biden.”

Didn’t he already win that election a few weeks ago?

They don’t want women voting anyway. Most women are left leaning and Fox News has talked extensively about the fact that women are too ‘emotional’ to vote.

I’d say he’s been doing a pretty darn good job of destroying it so far.

They haven’t focused on the economy one bit so far, so when do they intend to start ‘turning it around’?

I don’t actually think we will see widespread price increases from these tariffs. I think it’s more likely that it will (and already has) cause uncertainty for businesses which will, in turn, cause them to cut inventories and reassess their business models.

Cute that we think this totalitarian administration cares about what judges say
Brian Leonard (@therealbrianl.bsky.social) reply parent
When you are struggling just to put food on the table, raising your kids and getting a good job, these types of things aren’t what you’re concerned with. And that is why the Dems. are in the position they’re in. They’ve lost touch with most Americans.

Unfortunately this doesn’t help with the insanely high cost of living (mainly due to so many taxes) in the state. I was born and raised in Illinois and while I liked living there, I got out of there because it’s simply unaffordable.

Apparently the media have collectively decided to continue their hit job on Biden.

It’s frightening how quickly institutions and companies are pushing to end our democracy and embrace Trump’s dictatorship.

It’s sad to see so many universities abandoning their long histories of being places that embraced free speech and thought.

Reverse Robin Hood literally describes the Republican Party for at least the past 45 years. This not a new thing or exclusive to Trump.

If there is one thing I have learned in these past 4 months, I think it is that Stephen Miller is the most dangerous person in this administration, if not all of America.

If he thinks this will help him in his presidential aspirations, he will find himself sadly mistaken.

I’m glad that they’re standing up for their principles but at the same time, actual refugees will be harmed by this also. I’m sure a more conservative denomination will take in the Afrikaners but what about the others?

Of course it’s a bribe! Do we really think it’s a coincidence they’re ‘gifting’ him this after he announces a new golf course development in their country?!

This has the potential to get really ugly, really quickly. I hope that a leader steps up to the plate and tries to cool things down since Trump is clearly incapable.

We all know that presidents’ budget proposals never come to fruition. It’s merely a ‘wish list’, but Congress is the ones that have the final say. They have never given a president everything they asked for. No reason to believe this time will be different.

I’m glad to see more young people getting involved in their govt. but I think this idea of generational change vs. policy is going to be a losing argument for them.

Firstly, it takes years to bring your business back to the U.S. He will be out by the time that would even realistically happen, if they wanted. Secondly, how much of an absolute moron do you have to be to see what tariffs are already doing to the economy and decide to just keep adding more?!

That’s precisely why Amazon reversed course and why you won’t see it from any other retailer either.

The last thing we need is another narcissistic billionaire running the country. Billionaires should automatically be disqualified from running for president.

While I respect her position on the matter, illegal is illegal. It’s hypocritical to call Trump out on his illegalities and not this judge (assuming she is actually guilty of the charges, which she is entitled to fight in court like anyone else).

This seems like a pretty no brainer case that they should easily win. Of course, we already know the Trump Admin. will appeal it up to SCOTUS where they have a friendly court.

This is exactly why they’re not going to be in any hurry to get rid of him too. They used a lot of political capital to get him there and it would be a bad look to throw that all away after less than 100 days.

Something that has really stuck out to me over these past few months is how quickly the GOP has gone from being the party of limited government to the party of totalitarianism under Trump. It’s mind boggling!
