That all small business owners are thieves and out to scam their customers - This was part of someone’s argument defending big box stores.

I’ve had a conversation with a couple of trump supporters that are also outdoors people (hunting, fishing, camping). And they use the public lands for most of their hobbies. They told me that this is what would get them to question their vote.

While there are many things that I feel should have gotten them to this question sooner like illegally deporting people, raises prices of everything, etc. etc. But I wonder how many others on the fringe of this cult that are outdoors people this legislation will piss off?

I agree but they seem to still be the generation that gets beat up by the media, though gen Z is starting to come into focus as the next generation that is “destroying everything!!!”

But first let’s make everything a family would need to raise a child (let alone 3 or 4) extremely expensive and gut any and all support for the mother and child.

Next complain that it’s avocado toast that is keeping the lazy Millennials from having kids!

This speaks to a broader issue -

whenever there is an economic crisis, whether manufactured by trump or created in other ways, its never the rich that have to sacrifice its only the middle and lower classes. And when the wealthy are ever asked to sacrifice in the form of higher taxes they get pissed off and call everyone else a “taker” of their money.

I genuinely believe that most people understand this but our collective voices have been muted, manipulated and managed by some in positions of power.

… and B too

Wonder why? Seems to me like a money printing machine for them, the factory and non- factory repair shops and the aftermarket.

Unless it’s seen as a way to hide your car from illegal activities, which well now that I think about it is probably the reason they didn’t follow through with the idea.

Give it time and there will be the option of Gigantic Corp paying for your teeth if you grow their logo on them.

The administrations talking points will be along the lines of:

“You guys don’t understand the art of the deal”

“No, China blinked first you just don’t understand international trade.”

“It’s Sleepy Joe’s fault, because of reasons.”

“Hey, is that bigfoot behind you?”

Fuck you, JD

Honestly it wouldn’t be too little to late if the reps in the house and senate grew a spine and pushed back as well. But I think that they have had it too cushy for too long and don’t actually know how to govern.

I can’t see any other use for the money that was spent on this - we can all come together in harmony and peace now that women have finally flown into low earth orbit. /s

Genuine question:

How do courts and the legal system actually enforce these decisions? I can’t see US Marshalls walking into the White House and handcuffing trump. So what is it that they can do, if anything?

Quit enjoying your life with games and get back to making me and my billionaire buddies more money you slacker!

History shows us that you can safely assume Trump is lying when he says something will be good for the Amrican people. Full stop.

FTFY

I seem to remember a story from trumps first term that there was a few hundred children that went missing from their detention centers and ICE didn’t have a clue as to where they went.

Did this happen? And was there any follow up?

Because if it’s true then ICE has been at the very least turning a blind eye towards human trafficking for years.

Another data point (if you needed one) that republicans and billionaires only give a shit about something when it affects them personally.

Illegal deportations - not their problem

threats to journalists - not their problem

dehumanizing specific groups of people - not their problem

thousands of federal employees losing their jobs overnight - not their problem

defying constitutional amendments - not their problem

Fuck with their ability to hoard more money - Shit we need to do something!

Just the opposite.

With the potential of medical expenses rising, medication costs going up, insurance becoming shittier (if you’ll be able to afford it at all), staying healthy to continue to earn a paycheck (that is a depressing phrase), the potential of wide spread violence, I think its imperative to be as healthy and strong as you can be.

You may also find yourself in a position where you’re the only one you can count on and if you are sickly, and weak then it will make things that much worse. Or you may find yourself in a position to help someone that has less ability to move and you’ll need to be in good health for their sake.

I think that most billionaires are clueless to how savagely hated they are by the larger population.
