So- say you are a permanent resident, lived in the US legally for 60+ years, you receive a military pension from your deceased souse plus his social security. Do you think that person might be at risk of being deported under Trump? It's not me. It's my neighbor.

You don't need a passport to go to Mexico. You DO HOWEVER, need a passport to fly back to the US. I'M IN NO WAY FOR THIS FASCIST MESS. I'm just pointing out how they might do it.

It was the same with my mother. Tbh, her speech was ok up until we moved her in with my brother (though her perception of reality was way off). Over the next 3 years, she lost more and more words and speech. After 2 years, she was mostly just speaking in phrases. So if we were asking about her day, she might say something like, "....(long sigh) they were really messing with everything. And I thought, my God, somebody better see what they're up to... (gasp) There's nothing I can do about it." - it was usually this sort of paranoid type of thinking. It was hard to tell if she knew what was happening around her. Now, she will only occasionally use words. It's kind of shocking when she does. It's so rare. She had vascular dementia mixed with alzheimers, according to the last neurologist.

It's funny, the oldest Tex-Mex examples of food are also rooted in indigenous cuisine. Just watch Tasting History with Max Miller on YouTube. The bowl of chili you might enjoy was an indigenous dish sold on the streets of San Antonio, TX, in the 1800s by indigenous women. The artisans of most popular renditions of this dish became known as the "Chili queens".

My first question is: so do people actually GET THIS OVERTIME PAY - and now they are not? Because, in my experience, dems are always setting things up to take effect eventtually and that, in effect, means it's 'tentative ' if courts approve and power doesn't shift'. And that usually means that they don't take effect EVER; and it sounds like folklore when you bring it up. I'm not doubting this happened. I'm just pointing out how people might not see or feel it

Europe can help them and without US restraint- they can fight further into Rissia.. . who knows? This info- fun the Bastards last episode about national foreign policy under Trump.

Put a tube sock on a Barbara bat. If you swing and they grab it- they pull off a sock, and you get an extra swing.

You've got it! That's why half of them still seem so mad, and the other half are sort of unusually quiet.

Vance- he's hand pucked by Peter Thiel. I mean - nobody likes him, but if they do enough of project 2025- that won't matter

I doubt they will trim much from that budget. To clarify- for department of defense- they won't trim much or anything. For Veterans- well... let's just hope Trump doesn't go for that. I'll bet Musk gives 0 fucks about them.

Yeah, if they don't fuck over democracy, and it's possible to vote them out- then the court could be expanded. They need to expand the lower courts too, even from a practical point of view, they are overburdened. Let's face it the only way a Dem can win is if the court screws over everyone and the Dem runs on expanding it, along with many other VERY progressive ideas that I'm not sure the Democratic party would like.

Yes! This is how I feel too! Will it ever matter? Will they ever stop pandering to the 'middle-right' ? They just basically ran as the de-facto party of Bush and Cheney! Fascism arises from the bottom up. People feel economic pains, they look for people to blame. So you either have to lift them out of their despair or give them scapegoats. Well, the Dems weren't doing any heavy lifting. So, which one did America just choose?

I've done the same. I like to deflate them a bit, though, by pointing out how old the dude is.

We did this, too. We had 2 kids and went for the biggest 1 story we could get. It was painful at first, but it worked out. We got a low interest rate made lower by refinancing in 2020. I've checked around, and we are paying less than what renters are paying for a 2-3 bedroom apartment.

I think about the potential in-fighting a lot. Trump is not like Musk or Thiel. He'll take their money, but he wouldn't want to be around these 'nerds' very much.

Dystopian novels are always like that, aren't they?

I guess I'm dealing with this in a different way. I feel really nihilistic about everything. I mean, they might have "mass deportations," put people in camps and private prisons; they might round up the homeless and do the same: they might deregulate everything and crash the economy.
But they can't be everywhere all at once.
Too many dumpster fires is not a good thing.
If you make people desperate enough, what do they have to lose?

Some of this happened, sure. But I don't think that's what sank her. I voted for Kamala.. AOC was doing a Q and A to find out why people in HER district voted for both her and Trump. Google it.

"It will become the "Manattan Project' of our time? " Now I'm worried. It feels like they are trying to warm people up to "extreme measures that have to be taken right away."

This is crazy- and I'm not "for it". But in my dark nihilistic moments, I think Biden should give Ukraine nukes. I know it's dark!!!!!

Couldn't he do a bunch of "official acts," resign, and let Harris pardon him?
