Well he also wants to put anti vaxxer RFK Jr in a prominent role overseeing public health, so there's that too. Though I thought the role of Secretary of Transportation would go to Elon.

I absolutely blame Jenny McCarthy for this, and maybe Oprah (I think Oprah gave her the platform to speak), but Jenny never came out and said "I was wrong about this and the doctor totally lied about his results and this has all been debunked" and now the US is in shambles because she's a fucking idiot.

And they were all vaccinated and they're fine. Though if they're Trump supporters the argument can be made that vaccines made them stupid.

The problem is that swing voters focus on only one issue, and it's the issue that impacts them the most. It might be just the genocide in Gaza and how the current administration is handling it. Or might be just healthcare. Or just women's rights. Or the economy. They don't seem to look at the big picture and can't weigh their personal feelings against all the issues as a whole. They can't say "I'll take a hit on the economy if women's rights and abortions are better for the people as a whole ". It's often what impacts them most. From what I've read, the economy is the biggest issue and as long a they think they might be better off with Trump, they'll vote for him, regardless of the impact to everyone else.

America has care for its citizens in a long time. It only cares about the rich and corporations.

This is what happens in some Republican controlled states when they limit the times and places and how people can vote. Trump said a few years ago that if minorities vote, Republicans will never win another election. So Republican controlled states started getting rid of polling stations and changing voting times to standard working hours, etc, knowing that people wouldn't be able to take time off from work to stand in the now longer lines (due to fewer polling stations) or would want to stand in longer lines.

Plus, election day is not a national holiday like it is in most other countries, so people don't get the day off to vote. Though some companies give 3 or 4 hours paid time off strictly for voting.

Man, wouldn't be hilarious if Trump won and put RFK Jr in charge of public health and he just abolished all vaccines and everyone got sick and died because of all these ancient diseases were fucking us up again? Yeah.

Democrats should file a lawsuit every time he does, just because.

In his defense, the GOP also answers to Putin, so it makes sense he would too.

I still remember when Xi made himself president for life and Trump said at a rally, "maybe we oughtta try that some day."

This country is failing a lot of people. The only ones who really benefit are the rich.

 

Lawyers representing state legislative leaders were in court Thursday in Raleigh, arguing to throw out an anti-gerrymandering lawsuit that targets the state's new political districts.

The lawsuit argues that the state constitution guarantees the right to fair elections, and it says the new districts violate that promise. The Republican-led legislature argues that no such right exists, since it's impossible to define what "fair" means.

 

Anyone else have this issue? I did a quick search so I apologize if it's a known issue, but I can set my post sort to Top Day in my user settings, but it eventually defaults to Active.
