Two Term Celebrity Politician - JD Vance Missing Persons Coldcase

[Mrbeansman]

I have a coworker that has a daughter marrying a very white Norwegian with a PHD. They are in the states and he's here legally. Even they are nervous because of the amount of chaos and speed, they have no idea what to expect. And this admin has shown to just throw out EOs without thinking about the peripheral effects. This is something that he never had to think about last year.

That shit WEIGHS HARD AND HEAVY even if you can't do anything about it.

Not being able to do anything about your situation isn't a get out of jail free card for mental and physical health. This is a fucking real conversation and I can't believe I have to explain anxiety like I'm talking to a 5 year old.

Bitch I'm one ACA repeal away from being left out to dry and unable to afford any of my meds. Imagine how I've felt the last two years while people on these very forums talked about how they can't support the people protecting it because "zomg Biden smells girls hair" and "there are people who need help now".

This is Republicans testing where the line is. It's a fucking problem even if you live in Hawaii.

This same complacency is why we are where we are. So much of the horrible shit trump did started out as state laws being passed. The entire fucking abortion case came about from states pushing the boundaries of what is and isn't legal and what they can and can't get away with. The abortion challenges ramped up when states tried to impose some very obscure healthcare safety standards (like hallway width) on abortion clinics.

The small shit matter. Republicans tapping the fence fence of democracy to find any holes IS A FUCKING PROBLEM.

Look at this clown freaking out over nothing

Not to mention, all this DEI blamegame shit also normalizes and makes people very comfortable being bigots and racist pieces of shit. Like, I know if I go to certain parts of Florida, I wouldn't be surprised to hear a slur or be treated differently cause I'm not white. Now those certain parts aren't as contained so you see the hate in more parts.

Same. Sometimes everyone gets into an irrational hive mind.

If anything I'm more disappointed in Congress for sitting on their thumbs while the Executive attempts to expand its powers unconstitutionally.

Honestly, I think this is because the GOP expects a court challenge, so they can let that play out without having to be seen as "anti-trump" to the ravenous MAGA part of the party.

lol no that's not it.

It's because if they go against Trump they will be ousted from their seats.

We're basically in the RL phase of all the shitty people on your XI server making their own endgame HNMLS because no one else would take them and they're going to make everyone else suffer in the process. And since the GMs (courts) won't do anything, the only hope is they eventually cannibalize themselves.

[Tyche]

I wanna circle back to this Tennessee law again to drive home a point. The legislative body drafts the law. The executive signs it. Judiciary enforces it.

Once it's passed, the executive can (and often does) has additional "interpretations" of what's allowed under the law. As you can imagine, the outer bounds get pushed and then courts get left to decide how it should be interpreted. You can justify a lot of terrible shit with some vague language, so yeah, there should probably be concern about that kind of language in a bill, despite whatever the legislative body's intent is with the law.

And the ones in charge are RMTing

They wouldn’t have been invited to a Political Party without that SH+1, Hagun, and PCC

Ummmm that's effectively what I said.

[arus2001]

The RMT was implied with the "shitty people" thing.

Kinda yes, kinda "Hey I'm the Chair of the Appropriations Committee, the most powerful committee in the House (or Senate.) Why the hell is this shitbag cutting off funding potentially costing my constituents jobs." Talk about stealing power from the people. And fuck Speaker Johnson and Leader Thune who are one motion to remove from their post because Cheeto gets angy his agenda isn't fast tracked. They're both straight up spineless.

Like I know Trump is going to be shit. I know there will be lawsuits over every single EO because it isn't enforcing laws. I hate how he is stomping all over the Civil Rights Act. But dang it at least I'm in a liberal state/city that I'm insulated from it. I can also see what is overreach (breaking laws and provisions in the Constitution) and what is flexible/easy things to overturn (non-codified rulings like Roe v Wade overturned).

And we know GOP state governments are salivating and pushing the MAGA agendas. I can't do shit about it in California even though I have concern about that TN bill. I don't have the bandwidth to be outraged by every single thing especially things out of my control and not in my state.

You don't understand. It's only been 10 days, you need to save your outrage for the 4 years of this administration. Don't be upset about this and save your concern for another day.

I love how salad talks about how he's not freaking out and just spews random quote posts that add nothing but him being mad.

Heck I guess I could say how the Huntington Beach, CA city council unanimously approved a resolution to be an "Anti-Sanctuary City" and will devote Law Enforcement resources to apprehend the undocumented in their city limits.

Get angry everyone!

Just like how everyone over reacted with the ICE raids on farmers and the farmers not showing up. Which didn't happen in the California Central Valley - https://bsky.app/profile/elizabethst.../3lgtniwgzx22q

He's mocking you dumbass

[Byrthnoth]

I get the argument that we can't actually affect this process because we aren't tech oligarchs, but I think what we are doing here is not political activism. Acknowledging what is happening and getting pissed about it / seeking consensus with like-minded people isn't going to change anything but it will make us all feel a lil' less crazy.

Speaking of complaining about things I cannot affect, why is there an apostrophe in lil'? Should there be? Should it be li'l'? WTF?

[Dimmauk]

I'm getting upset at people getting upset with people getting upset with the leader of our country when he says and does stupid shit. How dare yall express yourselves.

I wish I could fart on all of you.
