Keep hoping!

And the thinners would of course make the bruising from a misplaced needle worse.
That would make sense.
Why do you think he's been so successful sucking the Dems into taking the wrong side of so many 80-20 issues? He's clearly much smarter at politics than they are. And the Dems said closing the border was "impossible." And he just easily did it. He seems much smarter on policy implementation, too.
But as far as "mind addled" he just got done tricking the Dems into taking the wrong side of ANOTHER 80-20 issue on urban crime. He's running rings around y'all. Do you really want to argue that the guy who is so so much smarter than you is addled? What would that make you?
His ankles, that looks like CHF. An imbalance in the strength of the ventricles makes blood back up and pool lower in the body. Not good, he needs to do more resistance training. But my dad lived about 15 years with similar ankles.
Looks like subcutaneous bruising on his hand from having a line in the vein there. Blood draw, or maybe delivering some IV drug. Or maybe just a surface bruise from golfing. Old people get thinner veins and skin. But he's vain and wants to cover up the bruise.
If you didn't want the other guy to shoot you with 100 bullets for jaywalking, then maybe you shouldn't have shot them and their friends with 100 bullets for jaywalking.
In terms of my viewpoint, I mean, I don't have any historic significance. Trump, for all his many flaws, is Tribune of the Plebs. That's why the Optimates broke all the rules to try to destroy him.
I consider myself an enemy of the professional class's subversion of the constitution. Equivalent to the Gracchi near the end of the Roman Republic. Restore the political power of the plebs.
To me the shocking thing was that rich people are paying Dem influencers to write. The fact that you are getting paid to write by a different billionaire doesn't really matter. You are still a paid propagandist, no? what are the terms of your deal?
I agree, I don't think it's going to go your way. That's why making politics into a lawfare battle was such a bad idea for you guys. Now the genie is out of the bottle.
Law enforcement is an executive function (that's why there's a Department of Justice). So is use of the military. There's no question of state vs federal law, the District is the creature of the federal govt and has no constitutional right to local jurisdiction.
Well, we have a system for handling fights like this. The Supreme Court rules on constitutional questions. They get appointed by a President, who is elected by the people of the states. Voters can vote for the person who says "I will give you this kind of justice." Trump made that deal with FSoc.
"masculinity death cult" 😂
If there's one thing that fascists love it's a black comedian married to a Filipina muslim. That's true fascism. But he opposed one tenet of leftist dogma! He's HITLER I TELL YOU!!! 🫡
"Federal government out of DC!" Hilarious. Corporate printed signs cost money. Having a slogan that makes sense is free. What a waste.
Congress can't create agencies which exercise executive powers. But, it doesn't really matter what people say on Bluesky. We'll see which of us the Supreme Court agrees with.
Where in the constitution does it say that Congress can create independent agencies? It doesn't. That's your problem. And if they misbehave, how does Congress fire them? Are they unaccountable? That's your second problem.
Mostly, yeah. Those places have to be guarded, but you don't need investigative expertise. The cops who used to be stationed there have been sent to Northeast DC and are rounding up criminals. I've been pleasantly surprised how much the DC rank and file cops are cooperating. Unlike the pols.
How many times have other Federal employees sued saying Trump can't fire them? How many still have jobs? We'll see.
If they are employees of the Executive branch he can fire them. If they aren't, then they have no place in the constitutional order. It will go to the Supreme Court, but either way she's out. Pretty sure the court doesn't want to declare the Fed unconstitutional, so they'll say he can fire them.
Culvers. Runza. In & Out. Olive Garden.
The Guard aren't trained as investigators. They've taken over ceremonial public areas, leaving the DC cops with a lot of extra manpower to go after the crooks. & DC cops are doing it. Lots of arrests. Murder rate ZERO since the troops came in. Unlike their leadership, DC cops want to do their job.
Washington had a VERY high murder rate. None since Trump sent in the troops. What a crushing defeat for the Dems. They look so very weak and incompetent.
Broken windows policing. Excellent. No murders in DC since Trump took over. This is going to be humiliating for the Democratic Party when Trump shows they could have chosen law and order as easily as he closed the open border.
Except the Constitution, the courts, and the citizenry, and the officers and enlisted of the military. Believing in your hysterical fantasy makes you a clown.
You're asking him to think through the plausibility of the fantasy. That's not the point. The point is to imagine oneself in that movie. That's really fun. The protagonist gets to be a revolutionary hero, not a barista at Starbucks who might not make rent this month.
Who is more saintly than Kilmer Abrego Garcia? The perfect victim.
I remember a lot of Dems saying W Bush was a fascist, he was going to do a coup and stop all elections, back in 2006. The hysteria never comes true, but it also never stops.
Well, in the sense that stopping crime in Democrat cities will be very embarrassing for Democrats. Just like instantly closing the border after Dems said it couldn't be done. He's exposing their lies, and it is devastating. If you mean to arrest political opponents, then no, you are full of sh!t.
Many times. You think the culture of the military and the New York City government are the same? You sweet summer child. Have fun. Let's check back in two years, and you may have learned something.
They can try. Obviously it will be bad for him when they fail, bc government can't do anything competently at competitive prices. But have fun.
Stopping Open Borders (a "Koch brothers' plot" according to Bernie Sanders) is fighting the class war against Democrat attempts to immiserate the working class. Defunding USAID is fighting the class war. Firing Federal employees is fighting the class war.
They already did. Very little room to do more. But plenty more to do in Red states. That's why Dems are panicking.
They're not gerrymandering now, bc they've already gerrymandered all they could. That's what makes a gerrymander war so very bad for them. They've blundered into a buzzsaw, again.
The walls are closing in!!
Cool, then we're redistricting Florida and Ohio --> you lose.
On the surgeries, yes. On hormones, an older woman getting more of the hormones that are natural for her body, and that her body is designed to process, is not very harmful. Used to cause cancer, but they are getting more sophisticated about dosing. Taking the wrong hormones wrecks your body.
Well, don't commit mortgage fraud and you won't be vulnerable to Trump. Pretty simple, really.
There's a law in Texas that says legislators have a duty to attend the legislature. They agreed to that when they decided to run for office. They betrayed that promise for partisan political reasons, and they are reaping the rewards. That's how it's legal. Hope that helps.
They betrayed their constitutional duty to attend the legislature. That's how this happened, and they are reaping the consequences of their own disgraceful behavior. Take it up with the courts if you don't like it.
chopping off penises and breasts isn't playing Frankenstein? Injecting chemicals the patient's whole life to twist their endocrine system isn't playing Frankenstein? GTFO.
You say that, but you say a lot of crazy things. Not believing without the cite.
Yes, I am familiar with citation in both legal and academic writing. When some claims are cited, and others not, the obvious inference is that the united ones cannot be cited, and therefore are likely made up.
Sorry, I have a job.
Due process is literally the process which is due. Where you mistake is what's due to illegal aliens. They don't have the same rights as US citizens. Hope that helps.
No, leaving nature alone and playing Frankenstein are NOT in fact the same thing.
There IS a huge rise in "trans boys" seeking care. And it happens in friend groups, and can be easily correlated with a network map of social media connections. If old lesbians want to take T, whatever. But keep that shit away from the kids who aren't old enough to legally drink.
Yes, society needs more children to survive. Sexually mutilating and sterilizing children is always wrong, but even more damaging when we are in a birth dearth. Another reason to do the right thing.
So the ones that are actually in there have a page number, and the others are made up?
That doesn't make sense, so I doubt that's what the opinion actually says. Do you have a link to the decision you are talking about?
Your terms are acceptable.
Sure, I have no problem with FtM trans using men's spaces. They can't hurt us. I would have two bathrooms: Cis women and Everybody Else. It's just the real women who need to be protected.
That means they only exist in hysterical libs' imaginations?
That she will stick to the appropriate bathroom? I think you will get your way.
Kind of like when a major newspaper hires a young person too dumb to not have a twitter feed full of anti-white racism. But hey, congrats on no longer being the most famous white-hater in corporate media. A new chapter in your life opens up.
That's interesting. Do you remember a book title or anything where that could be found? All I'm getting on google is 28mm toy marine figures.
Oh no!
His hysterical hatred is why he got fired. You have loser friends.
We'll see.
I'm laughing at you, idiot. You're not smart enough to tell the difference.
Smart idea to only humiliate yourself with your ignorance once.
How did calling baseless names at Republicans work in the last election? Good working a losing strategy, Mr. Loser.
Why did you vote for Bill Clinton, George. Don't you know that makes you guilty of endorsing pedophilia and rape? And you voted for Hillary too, didn't you. More endorsement of attacking the victims of Bill's pedophila and rape.
Tell Hamas to surrender. They are going to get all your people killed.
Mohawks ARE real Americans. So there is nothing wrong with the claim. Real American citizens can be any race. It's the "citizen" thing that you don't understand.
They look like all upper-class white people. That is, the demographic most prone to anxiety and neuroticism.
lol yeah sure, the walls are closing in!! Part 2059!
If you can't fit the answer in a post then you don't have an answer.
So you argue unions need to spend more on organizing private corporations. OK, fine. Where is that money coming from? What do you want them to spend less on? Until you answer that you aren't saying anything, just wishful thinking.
The Rule of Law = "fascism." SMH. How did you get so crazy?
People complained about how vacation W Bush took. Then Obama. Then Trump. Then Biden. What makes you think it's going to start working now?
Journalists who are not Hamas members will be fine. Posing as a journalist doesn't whitewash your terrorist membership.
Read that post again. You have no idea what Trump is doing, but whatever it is, he must be copying it from Netanyahu. Pure guilt by association with no content. Brain dead.
To the government, our healthcare is a cost center. They do everything they can to reduce costs. I don't want to live under that system. I understand it looks good if you have no insurance, or if the insurance costs too much. But the great majority of Americans are better off with current system.
And it's not just big surgery. My sister-in-law was a Brit (was because she died of cancer they could have cured in the US). She had a secretary. That woman's daughter had her shin broken in a soccer game, needed a cast. I was Friday night. The hospital sent her home told her to come back Monday.
I got my rotator cuff effed up from catching a ladder from falling on another student at the fire academy. Partial separation of the supraspinatus. A month later I had surgery. Look up how long the wait for rotator cuff surgery is in any of the systems you advocate. It's years.
2) the cost savings come from somewhere. Mostly from healthcare personnel getting much lower salary. Who's going to tell 2 million nurses that their salary just got cut in half. That's what they make in Europe and Canada, that's why it's cheaper. The other place they come from is waiting times.
If you have the chance to choose where to get surgery, or chemo, or dialysis, pick the US. Your chances are much better.
Well, the question is whether Americans would put up with the consequences. Which would be: 1) worse healthcare. Your chances of survival with the same diagnosis is much better in the US. We have low longevity but that's cause we're so fat, take so many drugs, and kill each other so much. 🧵
Yes, that what the end of democracy is allegedly about, whether the gerrymander happens mid-cycle or after the next census. Odd that coverage and dem messaging omit that part. Hmm, can you think of any other norms that eroded? Like not weaponizing FBI and CIA against your political rivals? Oops!
I think what you don't understand is that they already have done the same. Blue states much more gerrymandered than red. This is the R's counterattack. You don't have much to threaten them with.
Well, what specifically would you like them to do? What are they supposed to do to push single-payer? I know that they didn't push it when they were in charge, but that's because they know what would happen if they succeeded.
What lowered working class wages has been the massive importation of cheap labor. That drives wages down, and drives returns to capital up. That is the main thing causing this chart, but is also the policy that is most dear to Dem party leaders, even though voters hate it. That's how won Trump won.
That seems to be where we're going. Which side do you think will do better out of throwing away all restraint on gerrymandering? I think you might be disappointed.
Which looks like running away and hiding in an even more gerrymandered state? Or what exactly do you have in mind, Mr Blazing Supernova Blast?
So the great battle for democracy is against gerrymandering which is fine when dems do it but evil when the repubs do it? you guys are so pathetically desperate. But I guess you gotta try something.
Her committee work has been important. And she's the one who made sure no men in the Congressional ladies' room. You're right she's not a legislative workhorse. She's a media figure, like AOC is. how many bills has AOC passed? I'd guess one less.
The walls are closing in! For the 97th time!
Too bad the Constitution keeps getting in the way of all your plans.
Now do the partisan breakdown of presidential vote and congressional seats in Massachusetts. Or California. Or Illinois. The simple truth is that Dems have gerrymandered far more. So a showdown on this benefits the Republicans. That's why dems are panicking and abandoning democracy by fleeing.
According to DC police he was beaten by a gang of 10-12 "youths." And the Post story doesn't say that's who beat him, it says that's who the police caught. Despicable liar.
"Why" = to raise the wages of the domestic working class, and to lessen the damage of importing ppl from cultures where sexual violence is rampant. Hope that helps.
He might want that. But I doubt it. And anyway, very few Republicans would support it. It will never happen. And I heard this from Dems about W Bush. He's going to do a coup and make himself dictator, always the exact same hysteria with you maniacs.
I haven't seen any Republicans bothered. Maybe you could link to one of these people you think exist.
I made no such claim. I said that they TEND to have happier marriages, not that none of them are sleazebags. One of the standard tests for low intelligence is the inability to understand statistical reasoning. Muting you now, bc you are just too dumb.
Squeal little piggy, squeal.
Many studies supporting each claim. These are not controversial claims among demographers. Here's one to start you off: pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC... After reading that there is a big bibliography, but you can easily google. Pro tip: the gratuitous insults just make you sound stupid.
In what sense do you look terrible? Not particularly muddy or anything. But in the first photo, you look taller and stronger than him. In the second the photographer cleverly puts you deep in the background to look smaller.
