Anyone know what potential implications this actually has? Is this a another march against free speech?

After the ‘Gulf of America’ aneurysm, I’m surprised the EOs mandating English as the exclusive language to be used didn’t specify you had to use ‘American’.

He would, but it's something Obama did, and his racist smoothbrain can't live with that.

My dude is on a rampage destined for nothing but absolutely destroying America. He is a well known Russian fleshlight, Russian money bailed fElon out when he "accidentally" fell on the $40 billion dildo; they are both doing everything anyone who wants to destroy America would do; and Americans are...helpless? It is astonishing how none of the institutions, the all powerful 3-letter organizations, literally nobody is able to do anything to stop them.

Republicans have spent decades building up a party that values loyalty to the party line above all else and that regularly uses propaganda and outright lies to the public to manufacture support. Democrats have spent decades carefully crafting their political stance to be as mild and non-threatening to the rich and powerful as they possibly can.

Republicans won't oppose him because disloyalty is political poison to them, and Democrats only provide token resistance because Trump still has rich donors backing him.

All the US checks and balances are predicated on the idea that no one party could take control of all three branches of government, and even if they did that the people in those positions would hold their duty to the law above party loyalty. Trump has successfully proven both ideas invalid, and his only opposition is entirely too milquetoast to do a god damn thing about it.

the same donors backing the gop are also backing the top DEMS, and the dinos. not people like sanders, or AOC though. from what ive seen, the current dnc are hoping to coast by and mooch of the republican donors without looking like they are more or less the same as the gop.

They're the same donors.

By being exactly the kind of Mafia Boss despotic lunatic deluded ignorant buffoon the "framers" expected the US population to be "too intelligent" and/or "too engaged" to ever elect.

Boy, what an oversight that turned out to be... 🤡 🤷‍♂️ 🙄

I mean to be fair to the framers, we've also changed everything about how we elect the president since their time

In my lifetime truck-driving has gone from a respected and well compensated blue collar carrier into a Mcjob.

And not because the work is unimportant. In fact it's because so many industries rely on truckers that their compensation has been squeezed.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 hours ago

Also trucking is a lot of hard work too and requires a bunch of skills. Anyone doubting that hasn't seen eg a local truck get smashed into a bridge

Compared to that 18 wheeler guy who turns into an alleyway on a dime, it's impressive

Trump: with all the port traffic drying up, let make sure it is only non-whites that loose their trucking jobs.
