The people getting yelled at at their own town halls will not have a use campaign money.

https://www.cnn.com/2025/03/20/politics/angry-town-halls-lawmakers-clash/index.html I've been seeing things like this for a couple weeks now. As Trump continues down the path he is on, GOP Congressmen will have to continue down this path. I believe the bulk of the Republicans in Congress...

Trump is racist. He's an old white guy that has always believed white people were on top because they try harder or because they have a culture more conducive to success. He sees any check or correction of that as cheating. But just like a bunch of other stuff lately, there is no indication...

I just saw it last weekend too. I generally agree here. It has always been strange to me to see the difference between a Disney movie and its straight-to-video sequel. What is it that makes it so much weaker? Weren't the same or similar people trying as hard? This one went to theaters only...

I really doubt it is actually a step clearing the way to reintroduce segregation. If Biden were still President, I would say segregated facilities are such old news that it isn't worth explicitly mentioning in a contract anymore. Why keep mentioning it forever? But Biden isn't President...

I don't think it is actually true, but comments on a meme suggested that the reason Elon is doing all of this is to grab the other demographic for EVs. Liberals will dump his EVs for other EVs and Conservatives will come get his and the planet wins.

The parties are organizations whose job is to win elections. The GOP is enjoying its success right now. The DNC is think-tanking and analyzing statistics. They will look for an exciting candidate to get behind in 2028 and they will adjust their platform as they deem necessary to win more...

They have been in use for a decade.

It may be that someone at the top is driving it and it may be that this is how someone further down the chain interprets a general order to root out DEI stuff in their department. When you tell people to do something dumb, people tend to do something dumb.

Ok. I just made an assumption that you were talking about what everyone else had been talking about. You changed the topic to invading Canada or Panama? I would be very, staggeringly surprised if Trump started a war on purpose. He's been consistently anti-war in his political career and on...

He isn't talking about going and fighting little Central American countries. The Enemy Aliens Act just lets him skip due process in dealing with people from countries we are at war with. He says we are at war with a gang. But we aren't. All he wants is to deport people without red tape.

I acknowledged the point you're making further down. I think the only thing Congress can do to prevent him from applying it without a war is to impeach him. Or they could censure him or pass a resolution or something. It is the courts' job to prevent him from misapplying the law. I am not...

To more closely deal with your question is a little hard. The judge ordered a plane en route to turn around and I heard that it didn't turn it around. Courts aren't good at stopping crimes in progess. But that judge is still going to have a hearing concerning this. I don't know what penalty...

I know some people who wear red hats and fly Trump flags at their house. There are a couple trucks in my city that fly huge Trump flags on the bed of their pickup. Some of these people are totally all in on the man Trump. There are a handful of Congress members that may fall in that category...

I can't always tell when people are joking and being facetious. Congress will not just go along with declaring war for the first time since 1942. On Venezuela? So they can deport some guys? They're going to let Trump have his court battle.

Invoking the Alien Enemies Act presupposes that Congress has already declared war on Venezuela, which they have not done. It doesn't declare war. It just gives him the ability to suspend normal procedures for people from Venezuela. If Congress has declared war on Venezuela, which they have...

People who think it is just some gimmick have forgotten that they elected a real estate developer to the White House. What was he thinking as soon as he saw Gaza in ruins? He was thinking he knew people with concrete trucks and cranes and welding torches and he could make that into a resort...

Trump said on the campaign trail that he would invoke the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 on immigration and now he's done it. Federal judge put a stay on it immediately. If Trump was reading the Allspark last fall (?) he should have seen where I pointed out that Congress would have to declare war...
