It it’s like the other recent votes, it’s actually republicans turning out to vote for democrats. I think both Florida and Michigan(?) had less democrats and more republicans turning out, meaning that republicans are turning on the party.
I think a lot of people are arguing this was the natural outcome. That if you looked at what he was going to do, the only plausible outcome was higher prices.
While he promised lower prices, it was obvious he had no plans to actually achieve it. So if you used any bit of intelligence, it was obvious a vote for him would lead to this outcome, meaning you voted for this.
Yeah, threatening to veto just means it would eventually need more votes (but I doubt he’d veto it).
In more simple terms, Trump can’t prevent congress from passing laws about tariffs.
All he can do is make it more difficult, by requiring a higher percentage of the legislature vote on it.
Hopefully that means it was worth it!
I always wonder how many of these are actually just patches behind the scene to fix viral trends. Or even more devious, they use the viral trends to patch a specific failure point to make it feel like progress is being made.
Yeah, that seems like the boom before the bust. I know even personally I’ve been buying some things before they become hard to get.
If that were the case he wouldn’t be in power anymore. Either enough people don’t understand or don’t believe it.
The issue the OC is talking about isn’t something you can just walk back and take your winnings. Owning the husk of a once great economy isn’t really a great outcome.
I don’t think anyone understands that if he ousts Powell/gets his interest rate lowered, we’re looking at a depression or worse. That kind of economic crisis has the potential to ruin literally anyone, including the wealthy/elites.
I mean, that’s exactly why the checks and balances were set up this way. The founding fathers assumed no one branch would want to concede to another. Really it’s congress fucking it all up right now.
This is what they always do, get you arguing about something that doesn’t matter. Just eats up time and energy about nothing.
I appreciate the trust!
Honestly it’s kinda ruined other sudoku puzzles for me. Some of the harder ones could take me an hourish to complete.
Man, you’ve been popping up everywhere recently.
While Harvard does have a big endowment, they are a non-profit. You may not like everything they do, but that doesn’t change how they are incorporated.
Also, attacking folks who were protesting was more a Columbia thing. Harvard has mostly dealt with their protesters more civilly, which might be why Trump and Republicans are coming after them.
Pretty sure you’re talking about foundation and concealer?
While I’m all for glfree sudoku “Studio Goya” and their series of sudoku apps are more than worth the cost, especially Miracle Sudoku
I know this is a thread about Foss, but they really put some crazy thought into these puzzles.
I mean the “damned if they dont” is cause everyone is just bending over for him, if everyone fought him he wouldn’t have the resources to fight back.
If we get to the point where the senate convicts him, I think it’s game over. That means that republican party has finally turned on him (meaning they think the public has too).
US is sliding towards authoritarianism, but having the whole country against you is still not something he can overcome.
If this, republican majority impeached him, then the senate would definitely convict. In that case Trump is no longer the president.
The past two times dems held the house, but not the senate, so Republicans in the senate prevented a conviction.
Impeachment means there is evidence of misconduct (at a significant level). Senate conviction means you’re out as president.
I actually think their song for Mashle season 2 might be better - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZN98D5_N4M
Edit: should’ve mentioned the band is Creepy Nuts
To be honest I assumed most Whitehouse staff are political appointees. If that’s the case he’s looking to fire all the incompetent people he brought on himself. But some may be apolitical.
