I also think he could have closed Guantanamo.
Apparently you don't remember how that went either.
And I even think he could have bailed out the people that lost their houses and not the people that owned the houses.
Oh, sure, just pass an executive order for it, right?
I still think he should have nationalized the banks that failed and renamed them to “Bank A” and “Bank B.”
Jesus Christ man.
Crazy huh.
In desire, no; in perceptions of what the president has the power to do, yes.
If Obama had wanted it, he could have done it.
Lord.
Good cops will change something as soon as police institutions stop pushing out good cops by firings and harassment.
... ie, not until police institutions are forced to allow actual good cops.
California and New York have GDP’s above most other countries in the world.
But Cali and New York do not reap the tax revenue of a country with the GDP of their size; they can only reap part of it, both because Federal taxes remove a portion of that taxable income, and because states are necessarily more limited in their options for taxation than national governments.
It's possible, don't get me wrong, but significantly more difficult.
Tell me why I shouldn’t blame the democrats for:
Doing Obama care half assed, when something like 80% people wanted a public option.
Bruh, do you not remember how Obamacare was passed?
Oh yeah, I don't mean to say that these protests aren't vital, regardless of whether they're bigger or smaller than 2017.
You didn't have to draw on me like that
Hope this is true and not just cope. As the article notes, though there are more marches, the marches are smaller. What that shakes out to in terms of absolute numbers of participants is unclear.
Currently, considering polling numbers, I'm disinclined to believe that public discontent is all that high compared to Trump's first administration, but I hope I'm wrong, and I'm glad that there are orgs paying attention and recording data so we can get a clearer picture.
"Rarely" is not "never", reaction is faster than conscious action by the study's conclusions (just not fast enough to offset acting first), and, furthermore, in an actual shooting situation, the important thing is not to actually be the second to draw, but to provoke your own reaction regardless of whether the signal you react to (ie an errant twitch of the opponent's fingers) is genuine or a false alarm.
Mandatory note that the AR-15 is just "Scary Black Gun" and that gun control efforts would be best served by focusing on features and accessories (and especially, actually fucking enforcing licensing and background checks) that actually increase lethality or mass-shooting potential of a gun.
... but the AR-15 fetishism by gun control opponents is cringe anyway.
