  • My bets are…

    Police protections

    Tax Burden shift

    Media control/persecution

    New protection for discrimination on 1st amendment grounds for hiring/business

    NOAA collapse (more like privatization)

    Deportations

    Democrat imprisonments

    Removal of carbon output caps.

    Also missing, he is going to dismiss all the court cases against himself, and use the military to lock up anyone who filed or testified against him.

    Oh and Joe Biden is going to sit on his thumbs for the next 2 months instead of taking the wrapper off those new tyrant powers and drone-striking his ass.











  • Sure sure. Perfectly legal to do an abortion in Texas in a case of a medical emergency.

    And then the case gets reviewed by a board of religious zealots who believe unwanted pregnancies (and by extension, pregnancy related deaths) are part of their god’s divine plan. They determine if this was an abortion, or a murder. In Texas, a state where the only thing liberal is their application of the death penalty.

    Can you see why what the law says and what the law does can be very different?






  • You’re looking at the new normal, at least for a while. Trump’s 2016 election was a paradigm shift in politics around here. Sure, Republicans were generally grifting ultra-capitalist race-baiting snowflake hypocrites before, but trump really lifted the veil and showed them their true selves. No longer do the need to actually govern or occasionally throw some benefits to their base. All they need to do is keep the hate baiting rage machine running, and their supporters will look the other way as long as they can hate anyone else for any reason rather than just deal with the fact that people exist outside their comforting illusion of “normal”.

    You think next round is going to be any different? The next round of their presidential primaries are gonna be Desantis, Abbott, and MTG. They are going to keep using those same tactics, because fear and hate are easier for them to live with than hope and acceptance.
