Sheās neither a criminal nor illegal, sheās getting her immigration documentation done.
This isnāt and wonāt be the only such case. Not by a long shot
The scope of this freeze is so expansive, it is going to be massively disruptive. Yet it is clearly prepared - some of the meta data on orders shows they were actually written at the Heritage Foundation months ago.
Produce chaos to justify use of the Insurrection Act?
Who knew that The Handmaidās Tale was a documentary?
There is footage of him answering journalists questions while signing EOs. The guy next to him is just feeding pieces of paper to him that he signs without even looking at and moves on to the next one. A journalist asked him what he just signed and Trump has to ask the document feeder what it was then says āOh!ā and carries on.
All these Trump supporting right wing, conspiracy theorists who constantly drone on about āThe Deep Stateā and unelected shadowy figures running the government support a man who quite openly has zero interest in the process of governance and allows himself to be used by The Heritage Foundation to enact whatever they want. They support the fucking Deep State.
Absolute morons.
Edit: Actually now I think about it I am the moron for thinking that these people actually do care about a āDeep Stateā. They just care that the version of the shadow government they have come up with in their heads doesnāt support their side. Trumpās does so they like it.
TIL how crazy the price of eggs actually has become in parts of the US. We have seen 10-15% inflation on them, assumed similar and was wondering why maybe 60 cents a carton was becoming a meme.
WTF is going on with that industry? Is bird flu in fact raging through it far more than has been disclosed?
Havenāt read the book but had to stop watching the show for this exact reason. Too much of the show, too many of the themes are too close to what some people in country actually want.
Donāt like Money running politics = vote for Donald Trump, a famous billionaire
Donāt like foreigners telling them how to vote = like South African Elon Musk telling them how to vote
Donāt believe in āBig Governmentā = except when it means stopping women deciding what to do with their own bodies, or stopping Trans people entering the military or playing sports or going to the bathroom
Donāt like Pedophiles = Vote for Donald Trump who is in the Epstein logs, admits he knew him very well, has been found guilty of assaulting a woman and has made numerous comments about the attractiveness of multiple under-age girls including his own daughter
Donāt like Media telling you how to think = Watch Fox News religiously and repeat the same baseless claims as everyone else
Donāt like people attacking the Constitution = vote for the guy who supported an insurrection and has promised to rip apart parts of the constitution by lying about what it says
Donāt like people who disrespect the military = vote for the guy who attacked a gold starās family and said it was boring to go to Arlington
Donāt like criminals = Vote for the guy who made a T-Shirt with his mugshot on it
The list can go on and on. These people all claim they have some form of reason for supporting Trump - the issue is that whatever the reason is there is cold hard evidence that he is just as, if not more, guilty of everything they hate about āthe other sideā. Itās all a show, a facade of respectability to hide their true motive - hate. He hates the same people they do. Thatās it, thatās all there is.

Excellent post
You forgot his penchant for strolling through the changing rooms of the teen beauty pageantsā¦
Probably yes. Public health people have been incredibly critical of the lack of responsiveness to the clearly growing issue over the past 18 months or so. It is actually an interesting side story that the āwe are getting the covid response back on trackā administration was so badly criticized for seemingly being asleep at the wheel on the next emerging pandemic and no one gave a shit.
The man wouldnāt pass a background check to work in a high school but heās allowed to run the country
I see John Fetterman has decided to pivot Right now too. Great. Israel, and money from AIPAC, far more important to him.
Democrats are going to take all the wrong lessons from this election.
Thatās who heās been since almost as soon as he got elected. It was just a bit out of focus because how much attention Manchin and Sinema took up, and it took a while for people to look past the āworking class uniformā he insists on wearing for everything.
Was he any different as Lieutenant Governor is the big question I guess. Think Iāve seen speculation that the stroke changed himā¦

Speaking of which of course one of the voices jumping to support Fetterman (or an agency that works with him at least) now is fucking Pod Save Americaās Jon Favreau.

Democrats are really going to walk away from this election with the lessons being āWe need to wear shitter clothes and support all the things Trump does. Thatās what the poor like.ā
For what itās worth Pod Save America can fuck off too.
Stage crafting working class āauthenticityā. Itās an interesting move.
FWIW though, I think the POD guys get a lot of unecessary grief.
