Drill Baby Drill...the US Politics Thread (Part 3)

Yeah, it felt like his main flaw was stupidity back then.
He was a dumb asshole surrounded by dumb assholes.
Now he’s a dumb asshole surrounded by dangerous lunatics.

People forget how quickly it got bad in the first term and how the “just give him a chance” people were shown to dilettantes. The Muslim ban was in January. Comey was fired in May. Sure this is far worse, but so many comments reference a perception that the response from the public is not meeting the moment and is less pronounced than it was last time. Like I said, I havent reviewed the methodology, but this shows just the opposite.

The proposed U.S. travel ban expansion, as of June 15, 2025, includes 36 countries under consideration: Angola, Antigua and Barbuda, Benin, Bhutan, Burkina Faso, Cabo Verde, Cambodia, Cameroon, Democratic Republic of Congo, Djibouti, Dominica, Ethiopia, Egypt, Gabon, Gambia, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Kyrgyzstan, Liberia, Malawi, Mauritania, Niger, Nigeria, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Sao Tome and Principe, Senegal, South Sudan, Syria, Tanzania, Tonga, Tuvalu, Uganda, Vanuatu, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. This list is not final, as the policy is still under review with a 60-day period for countries to meet security requirements.

Those pesky Bhutanese, flooding over to the States and preaching about happiness!

as there probably are other countries where the people are somewhat brown but the administration hasn’t figured out who they are yet.

I mean the ‘leftists hate leftists’ point might be true. Not sure about the gun rights part though.

LOL at Trump associating welfare with Blue states:

EDIT: Whoever created that graph with the X-axis in that direction should be shot.

Yeah, I could align MJT into that diagram at all. Clearly too subtle for me

When I read this statement, my feeling grows that Trump is looking for an internal conflagration in the US, and doing everything to get there.
