To everyone here.

I know most of you are fed up, exhausted and disgusted. The key is to never give up and roll over. Once you do this the idiots will have won and we we'll be permanently screwed. We had already gone through four years of Trump's Idiocracy. Four more years sucks but you need to keep fighting the good fight. We can get through this!

Oh I'm never gonna stop fighting. They can send my gay ass to the camps and I'll still fight. IDGAF

He won, he doesn't have to make pointless stands anymore but I guess old habits die hard.

Hey look, another 4 years of Republicans not doing anything of value for the American people.

Meanwhile, Democrats just banned medical debt from showing up on credit reports.

The differences between parties couldn't be more obvious and Americans were still stupid enough to elect the do-nothing party. That's how I know this country is barreling down a path to collapse. It's not Trump. It's not even Republicans. It's braindead stupid Americans.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

This is the best case scenario, relying on their utter incompetence, although the will pillage state funds

Damn, my medical debt that is currently affecting my score must have not gotten the memo.

Edit: Holy fucking shit you’re right, PLEASE GOD LET THIS FUCKING LEGISLATION STICK! DO ONE THING!

Another edit: Can the Trump administration kill this on day one?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yeah. It's a big deal.

"BUT DEMOCRATS DON'T DO ANYTHING!!!"

Honestly, I'm not sure how possible it is for Trump to undo this. I haven't looked deep enough into it. I read something about Biden doing what he could to make it hard for it to be undone. There's so many nuances to our legislative system and the powers that the president has that it's hard to tell how safe this from Republican fuckery.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

From what I’ve read, Trump actually can kill this on day one. Whether or not he does is a different story, he’s taken a populist slide lately and I don’t think his supporters would be too happy with him undoing it.

Who knows though; unprecedented times.

Also, there has already been a lawsuit filed against the Biden administration for this rule. Fucking god damn it

I say USA will now be called ‘Bunch of Dumb Fuck Heads’ My mom already approved it.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

The media now see's it's job as shutting up and taking the bait, i see

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Worse than doing nothing, useless garbage. How is their impeachment of Biden going? Did Comer and Jordan resign yet for falling for a spy's testimony as their smoking gun evidence?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

I mean, I guess each country has the right to make up their own names if they want to…

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Ahh the important things that will improve all American lives

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Good. Let him waste his time on petty shit like this.

[–] [email protected] 52 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Mexican here. This is happening as much as "the wall" happened. Don't let him distract you from the H1B issue.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago (3 children)

The unfortunate thing is that "the wall" kinda did happen. Really shittily, but even Biden continued building it and Kamala ran on continuing to build it. The idea itself is really stupid sure, it's ineffective and ass. But there do be a wall getting built to this day.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It's not about doing the things it's about the optics of saying you'll do them. The wall isn't done and never will be. Even if it was it would never deliver what was promised.

Its all about optics and it's why Trump sabotaged the immigration reform bill. It would show democrats are capable of actually executing/delivering in a way he can't.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

And on that front, trump was super successful. He was so successful that the Democrats full ass abandoned hispanic folk and immigrants in general and fully adopted Fascist Trump Immigration policy. In terms of optics, Trump won so hard the Dems tried to be like WE ARE JUST LIKE TRUMP BUT EFFECTIVE.

The dems would rather chase racist white """""moderates""""" than any person of color. Even their POC's cant help but beg for that racist white moderate because they crossed that wealth line that made them forget what they are to those folk. Trump won the optic war because Dems surrendered as soon as they physically could.
