Socialism has been their boogeyman for decades. Burdensome is a new one under T2. He positions deregulation as lifting a burden.

Biden deported more criminals without the drama.
T lets criminals out of jail.

They want to make it retroactive, too. T claims that judges have not been enforcing the rule, but the rule gives judges discretion.

How many weeks is he going to give Israel do you think?

I thought he traveled cheap bc taxpayers were paying for it. Also I think he lives in the governor's mansion, which he should. It's not an estate, but I wouldn't call it modest, either.
He's just so uneven. People forget he also platforms MAGAts and treats the homeless badly.

Do you remember when Gov Snyder did that in MI in 2011? He had the power to declare martial law if a city was in financial trouble. He'd kick out the local officials and take over the assets. In one town he gave the city park to a company for a pvt golf course. Usually black towns.

That won't help. Any judgment he won would be paid in tax dollars. It's next to impossible to hold officers accountable. I couldn't hear anyone give the order to attack him, but that's who you want. Get that person out of a job.

TRO bars you from doing something, often going near a certain person, but it could be any number of things.
Injunction bars something from happening--bars anyone from doing it.

She won NY, so sure, find out what happened there, but go recount MI and WI.

The Republicans who had a problem with Trump left long ago. Only knee benders left.

I find it odd that T said we need more training programs for trades but then closed Job Corps, which was doing that.

Seems self-evident, doesn't it?

I think it's all important. Their strategy is to try to overwhelm us and wear us out, not with distractions but with substantive things coming at us from all directions. And a few distractions, but I don't think this is that.

Kimmel is astute, feisty, and funny at the same time.

If nazi were not a policy position, if people received more of their tax money in public services, and if people were paid good wages, the political spectrum here would look pretty broad.

My mother had an ectopic pregnancy in the 1960s before Roe. They removed it, and there was no legal or moral issue.

Also triggers cuts to Medicare

Tim Walz is also good at speaking authentically.
BTW Chat GPT is good at styles. It can tell you what your natural style most resembles, and it can turn the message of a formal speech into an informal presentation.

So are 43% listening to Fox tell them that only criminals are being targeted? How can anyone support grabbing random people off the street?

And NYT ignored the implications of the military in California and made it a personal feud between Trump and Newsom.

I think they gave hotel rooms in Pasadena to ICE.
Because what, they're not local?

That was my reaction too.

Oh no, I meant that's how they see it. I imagine they targeted Los Angeles in particular because it's liberal, California, and multicultural, three things they hate. There are big Chinese, Korean, Armenian, and Japanese communities in LA county in addition to Spanish-speaking.

We stopped being a good example.
Now we're a cautionary tale.

I think for protests in large cities it's appropriate to approach with extra caution because those are the ones he's most likely to weaponize. The main thing about small towns is breadth of sentiment, especially the otherwise deep red towns. Small town people should not stay home out of fear.
