So being married will not protect an immigrant apparently.

That sounds like the solution. Everyone buy an immigrant some nice clothes so they look too slick and fresh to deport.

This does not sound like someone who could handle the blunt talk he claims he wants to hear from Dems.

Why so they can tighten the screws anyway?

You know there are parents that kick their kids out for saying they're trans right? People will be trans despite their parents, not because of them.

This is nonsense. You make it sound like parents are imposing transness on kids.

It wasn't just therapy either. My coworker had a lot of trouble finding a dentist from their website.

Saw a similar issue when work had me insured with United. Their directory had offices that were either not accepting United anymore or were not accepting new patients.

They're going to pretend everything they take away for the next 4 years was only going to illegals.

It was never just about illegals and border security.

There really won't be. It'll eventually be brought up in history books after we fight off myth of the lost cause 2 rewriting how America was during this period.

Who needs to interpret economic data based on people's actual decisions when we could implicitly impose our views on the data instead?

I think mandating that we monetize the debt will end poorly.
We should probably raise taxes and cut spending instead.

The critical part to remember is this:
These people do not define pornography the way you do: they mean LGBTQ+ representation, they mean sex ed, they mean Netflix, they mean literature, they mean video games, they mean healthcare, they mean political speech.

And his voters and the media will eat this up like it's a huge deal.

it really worried me whenever DOGE went poking around in the Treasury building because, again, the United States is officially out of money right now
the only reason things are still running is through various forms of self-cannibalization that we call "emergency measures"

I recall @josephpolitano.bsky.social posting at one point that the Trump admin basically built the lever themselves.

I think many of them are actually just stupid.
Not that that's better, because they could easily be duped by the next demagogue offering convenient scape goats.

I'm not sure the weakness of others is sufficient to imply he's of strong moral character.

It doesn't matter much either way. They will refuse the established base of evidence and die disproportionately like they did under COVID regardless of what we think or do.

The latest scam on the right is defunding institutions like the NIH so that ersatz partisan substitutes like EPPC can fill the void with "science-y" agitprop.

Whatever excuse they can come up with to pretend they're better than someone else.

I'm reminded of my incredulity reading Walden in high school. My mother is disabled with chronic diseases that would make isolated living impossible for her. To hear someone so privileged pontificate on the evils of society compared to primitive living made me nauseous.

Sometimes I wonder if being in the dumbest timeline also means we're in the darkest timeline.
Like more overtly and aggressively malicious timelines might seem worse but they don't necessarily fuck with your head so insidiously.
This makes you question your sanity.
