I have the impression she either realized or was told/shown how the Trump admin plans to stay in power forever, plus all the economic lies, and this disheartened her to a great extent.

On top of that the pushback from trump, and most likely her receiving covert threats to stay out of the way, is what also made her come to this decision.

I am curious if her stepping down will stick in the long run.

So, everyone gets a jar of health insurance money, but the insurers you buy from know how much is in the personal jar and one is expected to negotiate? … how is this beneficial for the customers?

Competent is the word here … I have the feeling his current administration replaced 70% of competent people with folks totally unfit for the job.
Examples are FBI’s Patel, or “Mr Health” Kennedy, and the expired Newshost leading the War department…

So I can easily see the experienced air controllers be replaced by some interns sifted out from some other departments, slap a week of training on them and airports are good to go.

The problem is we’ve heard that before, multiple times, for all the negative stunts he pulled, and yet he still sits on his Democratic throne…

Will we get to see some magats being forced to give back their (partial) snap benefits? Show us their reaction, someone make a daily compilation on both tv and internet please.

When by a miracle the upcoming 2026 voting fraud and roadblocks will be undone, and 2028’s election is fair and brings a FULL landslide democratic win.

Then the Democrats must go full in on a blaze of justice and condemn everyone in the current administration, including local government, think-tanks and anyone who enriched themselves unfairly, as conspirators in an evil coup to convict them with the highest penalties.

If they do not … the country will be lost in a prolonged smouldering fire of fascism.

A “national pardon” to keep the balance is not a proper solution to this.

But, read what I started with and you’ll see there are enormous hurdles to overcome, I am not convinced the current administration will let any of it happen.

The king in all but name is already here, and 2028 will likely have seen the crowning ceremony.

Or making it a felony if an election candidate ever was fined for jaywalking or some other minor transgression … perhaps even give them jailtime for it …

“in exchange for a vote on extending health insurance tax credits”

riiiight …

Hmm, did they disagree with his plan for a lady justice statue on hands and knees on top of his own monument?

Ofcourse trump is the greatest in knowing anesthetics for buildings and should be considered the bestest authority on artistic design, looks at all the trump buildings he designed himself, no one else can do that!

“Wins”

I wonder what the secret deal is … 30% of his crypto holdings?

This …

He will not just step off the stage, he can not.
Regardless of his mental state, he is so ingrained in Project 2025 that they do not let him until a working solution is found, perhaps after an official declaration of kingship and he appoints a successor will he get to step down.
Next to that if he would now just lay down his title and maga crumbles down he’s absolutely certain he’ll be drowned in lawsuits again and perhaps actually given jailtime.

Oh, and the coup … yeah that is already ongoing just in a sneaky way…

I wouldn’t be surprised if they arranged it in such a way that the plane originally is Trump’s and he gracefully loans it to the government under the agreement they totally redecorate it for him.

They have the oil … uh… WMDs! Yes WMDs … No wait 'tis the drugs and the evil farmworkers!

We must go to war inside Venezuela because they refuse to name the gulf of Mexico to our rightful king!

Ah yes, unlawful handling of classified information:
He hid highly classified documents in the bathroom of his golf resort…

Yeah uh the, now deposed, Chinese ceo used Nexperia funds to keep a different company in China afloat … on top of that he kept bringing up ideas to “move all Nexperia company assets & production to China”.

This all besides the other political stormclouds blowing in from the US.

All in all it was a good decision the Dutch government made, they will find a way to produce somewhere in Europe probably.

Corruption seeks corruption

I don’t know the inns and outs, so correct me if I am wrong, but it seems they are lists of eligible voters in a state/area.

The Trump administration wants to remove inhabitants on that list for arbitrary reasons, like not having voted the previous election (no matter the reason, illness or being abroad) or if you have moved within the state since the last vote so your adress no longer matches.

Ofcourse they preferrably want the removal to be done federally and not by the state, so they also get a list of who voted (or is registered) for what.

But, now the food needs to be imported, which brings tariff money directly to king trump’s feet …
This is a great deal, there are the losers and there’s winner trump with a pile of cash to rest his weary feet on.

Uhm … is this perhaps for the android browser then?

The desktop browser has had this for a long long time, though in recent builds a bit hidden. I still use various profiles, very handy.
