But I will say that I think you could easily be right and I’m wrong
I don’t want to pin down these thoughts as very probable in my mind. You bring up great thoughts and really… who knows???
Don’t feel like I disagree with you, I just predict different things

The most controversial decision of giving presidential immunity was under that conservative agenda (not wanting to see Trump get pushed out of the election)
But the decisions with him in office have pushed back on the blatant constitutional offenses.
You can call it copium but that’s my thought

This is a lot of skepticism but what I have garnered from SCOTUS readings is that the conservative justices want to push a conservative agenda but have been willing to make clear constitutional choices.
comment in response to
post
However! Fiscal conservatives are already pushing back which is a phenomenal sign.
Trump can do a lot of harm but stopping him from blowing out the debt is important. Just working around that constraint will stop him from achieving a lot of his agenda.

My belief is that Congress is going to try and let Trump go on with his “mandate” until they see that it’s politically disastrous.
Because Republicans hold the Senate it will be up to them to make that decision, which probably won’t become apparent till the midterms.

I believe this could end up being for the better.
Trump’s incompetence will lead to a blue wave in 2026 and a strong charismatic leader in 2028 that appeals citizens united.
I am, however, under the belief that democracy will prevail while lots of Bluesky has given up hope.

Passive investing has been causing the water pressure of the stock market plumbing to go up for some time.
But ultimately, if the pipes burst (passive investing flips from buying to selling), then I think we see the recession that many people feel but do not see in the stock market.

We have already seen the SCOTUS make decisions against Trump, voted by his appointees. Ultimately the power rests on the House and Senate to step in, which is happening with the “Big Beautiful Bill” being blocked right now.

The founding fathers created the system of checks and balances with a LOT of thought. Lifetime terms are suppose to be one of the many safeguards.
Lifetime terms should give justices the protection to make “hard choices” that ultimately protect the constitution even if the public disagrees.

Again that is from this eras perspective where Trump got to appoint 3 justices and Justice Thomas are being bought out.
I’m fine with maybe having a guaranteed retirement age, we could set it at the social security age of 67 or something similar.

I’ve considered this issue and I think it is important the position doesn’t have term limits. I think it’s good from a legal perspective to not worry about public or presidential opinion of your decisions.
What the SCOTUS needs is an ethics code that prevents gifts with a permanent fixed salary

That doesn’t reflect what is truly going on. The reason they are up is because the value of the dollar is down.
Looking at it compared to Gold, I think stocks have just been treading water as of late.

Revenue can explode but if that’s not turning directly into profit, then salaries should not be rising
Profit means they can pay the athletes more NOT REVENUE
comment in response to
post
If you are going off of revenue not profit then the entire article is a farce.
The WNBA has just now become profitable, thanks to Caitlyn Clark who should receive all the new money.
The WNBA should set up a profit sharing deal with its players, but even then they won’t achieve an NBA paycheck

So you must be a Trump supporter

Props to Musk for sticking with the one moral he had (lower the deficit). Still a terrible person but I love to see anybody shitting on Trump.
Hopefully the “Big Beautiful Bill” never gets passed and the US bond still keeps its value.

Democrats have been campaigning under incumbent status ever since Obama.
“I am an extension of the Obama administration vote for me”
People crave change and want to hear a voice that urges for change. That is their path to victory

He is probably trying to raise the evaluation in order to get Tesla to buy it at that price and he gets 45% of that

That doesn’t sound very safe to the average person.
I think people want all immigration to be through legal routes and I think many would be open to expanding legal immigration.
comment in response to
post
They need to side step the debate into a moral logical argument that gives them a leg up.
Democrats can come across way more competent about reforming immigration to make sure everybody entering are legal immigrants. Because that’s what the public wants.
comment in response to
post
If you argue over whether or not illegal immigrants are criminals, regardless of if your correct, republicans better frame that issue every time. They throw anecdotes that are hard to refute logically.
comment in response to
post
That kind of messaging works way better to the public. The public aren’t always 100% informed, so you have to attack the issue with the idea that your viewer isn’t completely informed.
comment in response to
post
Democrats will lose if they let Republicans handle the messaging around immigration. I think there are better arguments to be made than they have made in the past.
If you really want to end illegal immigration, you have to punish businesses that hire them.
comment in response to
post
It is a losing issue for the Democrats
They need to keep the focus on deportations, where Americans view the issue negatively for the Trump admin, while maintaining a shared view of closing the border
Their talking points should also focus on punishing the businesses that hire illegal immigrants
comment in response to
post
That’s a different argument
And you haven’t supplied me with a single verse, because none exist. I’ve read the gospel
Good bye

You’ll find no disagreement from me that what Oklahoma is doing is wrong

He could be talking about the church or an individuals actions
Yet you haven’t provided me with a verse of his talking about how society “ought” to act. It’s only to individuals and churches.
And I believe in the separation of church and state
comment in response to

Not everybody lives it on an individual basis. People have the right to follow whatever moral or religious code they want in America.
I’m all for arguing for socialistic policies but I’m not going to ever listen to argument that involves the teaches of Jesus.

Show me an example of where he uses community of city and let’s see if it’s referencing how society should work, or if it’s referencing Christian communities
comment in response to

Yes because when people talk about implementing Marx’s ideas they are talking about the three you mentioned
comment in response to
post
I said this before but you will probably ignore it
Find me a Bible verse where Jesus talks about the a “societies” purpose, not an individual. Every single verse talks to individual morals and actions, not societal laws, social programs or functions.
Fine ME ONE!
comment in response to
post
Creating a society????
Brother read the gospel, all it outlined was how an individual should live their life, not how a society should function.
Fine me a verse where Jesus talks about societal function (laws, social programs, etc.). It’s always speaking to an individuals actions under god.
comment in response to

Such a strawman argument
I’ve read the communist manifesto and ultimately I agree with the idea that inequality will always grow unchecked. But ultimately his solutions for stopping inequality don’t work and didn’t work when put into practice.

“Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s”
Jesus only commanded people to follow his code on an individual basis. Religion is a personal choice.
Usually I’m arguing with Christian nationalists about this and not people on Bluesky

In the US they get paid enough to become millionaires
comment in response to

Jesus was not a political figure. He was a religious one and he never demanded that his morals be the law. He addressed Kings as individuals.
As a Christian I do not believe the Bible should have ANY influence over our laws. As someone who is logical Marx shouldn’t have ANY influence over laws.
comment in response to
post
The issue is that Jesus was just stating how a singular person should live their life, unlike Marx who wanted to apply similar ideology to the government
It’s a dumb argument to make in the first place

You are right
Because the Uk doesn’t pay them good wages so they are already leaving
comment in response to

Who would have thought?
A fiscally responsible president that has torn down overly restrictive regulations and ended the corrupt welfare has lowered inflation and brought in more investment into the country.
Take NOTE everybody. We need responsible leaders!!!!
comment in response to
post
In America, yes
But I guess the reason the UK is having issues with healthcare is because they don’t pay close to the same rate
So taxing the rich won’t effect doctors in the UK
comment in response to

Because your doctors are the extremely wealthy Brit’s

What about memes about burning kids alive?
comment in response to
post
I guess UK doctors are paid terribly but in the US, they can make close 200-300k
That’s only like 15 years with compounding interest to reach 10 million
But I guess the real issue is that the UK doesn’t pay doctors well in the first place

Regardless of political leaning, this is the right move
Maduro is a dictator and rigged the election. The US should NEVER do business with authoritarian states.
comment in response to

There is a clear downside
Rich people will leave and while that doesn’t sound so bad… that includes doctors which the country needs badly
comment in response to

All those issues are very real
Lack of competition in both choice of insurance and care, makes it an industry that needs to be reformed

Can you put that into terms someone that is dumb would understand
