American Politics 4.0 - Orangeyou Glad He’s Back?

[White Out 403]

I refuse to believe that somebody like Elon doesn't know what he was doing was either provocative or that was the point. God, I hate that man.

[Scroopy Noopers]

Well the world I knew changed on 9/11. It changed again yesterday but I don’t know the full scope yet. Can’t imagine it’ll be good.

The Proud Boys are designated as a terrorist group in Canada.

Good thing Trump pardoned them, put some wind in their sails. Hilarious the people here with their panties all knotted up about Biden pardoning his family, but I don't hear any of them saying anything about the actual convicted criminals Trump just pardoned, who attempted to overthrow the government, and some of them physically attacked capitol police. But Jill Biden! ####in' muppets. Open your eyes.

Help me understand a policy you don't like of Trumps. I'm expecting crickets.

1. Suspending refugee resettlement in the United States;

2. Withdrawal from the Paris Climate Accord;

3. Declaration that the United States only recognizes two genders, male and female, which are not changeable;

4. Pardoning 1600 people who were charged in the riot in 2021, hundreds of which were charged with assaulting federal officers;

And those are just policies implemented on day one.

[Paulie Walnuts]

Other pieces missed.

He raised prices of prescriptions for Medicare.

Within hours they shutdown the app for asylum speakers and cancelled their
appointments.

Sick bastard.

[Locke]

Well.

That inauguration was certainly...well it was certainly a thing that happened.

[CorsiHockeyLeague]

Raised prices on prescriptions for medicare is an understatement. He immediately cancelled a very popular order that that capped the prices of certain drugs like insulin. Not only is that a bad policy decision it's one no one wants, I guess besides drug companies. This is going to be a long 4 years of "Yeah? What are you gonna do about it? Nothing" down there.

Full & unconditional pardons.
More than 100 officers were injured.
Rioters beat and shocked officer Fanone with a stun gun at the base of his skull.
Fanone lost consciousness, which his body camera captured on video.
Others yelled "kill him with his own gun."

Full pardons. Way to go, America. You are no longer a serious country. Democracy and the rule of law have no meaning to you anymore. Please leave Canada the #### alone while you go on this cocaine bender.

But its Biden tho...everyone knows the Democrats are the rational ones that adhere to the rule of Law tho. When its convenient.

Also, is Trump really the 47th President or just the 45th coming back for round 2?

Are you seriously prattling on about the rule of law? that left the ####ing building in 2016. Man, on one side people complain the Democrats play too clean, and need to resort to the tricks of the Republicans and get some ####ing wins. And the second Biden figures the dude who says he's coming after him, and has the full weight of every department of the US government behind him, and the rule of law no longer applies, you get a twinge of uneasiness about Biden pardoning his own ####ing family? Check your perspective man. This is why the fascists are in charge, because of wimpy #### like this. Game is on, rules are out. That's on the Republicans, if there is any confusion.

Well...there's always the prospect of 'not doing crimes.'

They could give that a try, if for nothing else but a refreshing change of pace?

Are you suggesting they committed crimes? Do you have evidence of this, or just the ramblings of the insane cheeto posse? Stop falling for their game.

[WideReceiver]

Remember how much of a disaster we expected this sh1t show would be 24 hours ago? It’ll be much worse. Much worse. I believe we’ve only begun to scratch the surface of the disaster this will be. Where is that depression thread?

Instagram hides search results for 'Democrats'

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c4g32yxpdz0o

Meta says its working urgently to fix a problem with Instagram which results in a "results hidden" message when users search for the terms "Democrat" or "Democrats".

Some social media users have accused the company of political bias, pointing out the issue has been occurring after President Donald Trump's inauguration on Monday, which was attended by Meta owner Mark Zuckerberg.

Meta has insisted that is not the case, saying it is a technical problem which has also affected other hashtags, including a Republican one.

However, social media expert Matt Navarra said it was "embarrassing" for Instagram regardless.

"In a hyper-partisan environment, even unintentional errors like this can escalate into accusations of partisanship," he said.

"If these issues are not resolved quickly they risk fuelling conspiracy theories and damaging Meta's reputation."

While users who type "#Democrat" or "#Democrats" see no results, the hashtag "Republican" returns 3.3 million posts on the social media platform.

Yes, a mistake, from the company owned by hyper-MAGA simp Zuck. Yes... a mistake... lol

I have no evidence of anything, and as I recall you were ono of the soapbox people screaming from rooftops about how childish and insulting little political pet names were...except when you do it apparently.

Furthermore, I dont have a dog in this fight. I wouldnt want to leave an enemy at my back any more than anyone else.

However...innocent people dont tend to need pardons. Thats pretty much all I was getting at.

Although I will say I generally agree with your premise that America has collectively 'lost it.' If not their minds, then certainly their integrity.

Sure, but most innocent peopel haven't been threatened by a man with this much power like this:

Donald Trump has warned that Joe Biden and his family could face multiple criminal prosecutions once he leaves office unless the US supreme court awards Trump immunity in his own legal battles with the criminal justice system.


In a sweeping interview with Time magazine, Trump painted a startling picture of his second term, from how he would wield the justice department to hinting he may let states monitor pregnant women to enforce abortion laws.

Trump made the threat against the Biden family in an interview with Eric Cortellessa of Time, in which he shared the outlines of what the magazine called “an imperial presidency that would reshape America and its role in the world”.

So again, I don't believe anyone who says they wouldn't also pardon their own family to protect them from unjust persecution. Of course you would do it, you'd be dumb not to.

You'd be dumb to genuinely believe that he's not going to find another way.

I get where you're coming from, but it looks really bad on the Democrats and Biden, although Biden really shouldnt care how it looks.

I know Trump is an idiot but even he probably saw Biden signing his family's sins away from miles away.

[ResAlien]

It looks bad on the democrats? Well can't have that now can we. Shouldn't have done anything and then let the guy who's been screaming from the mountaintops he plans to put everyone in jail put your family in jail.

Your post on this matter is a walking talking paradox of tolerance.
