The problem is more about what they’ll be expected to do, once they’re elected. If regular people are giving them money, they’ll be expected to do things that will help regular people. If it’s all coming from wealthy elites, then they’ll be expected to do things that will help the wealthy elites.
Rich people will typically just want you to stay out of their way, and do nothing. Regular people problems are often much more difficult to solve.
So, when a racist, white nationalist becomes upset with his cult leader over his refusal to release the names of the baby brain-juice drinkers in Hollywood and Washington…we should open our arms to them?
Are they “on our team” now, despite still advocating for most of us to be lynched in the town square?
No.
Then you need to fire your accountant…or start taking their advice. Either way, you’re doing it wrong.
No one in the US pays 30% income tax. Only the top 10% have to pay more than 30%…and they’re rich enough to qualify for so many tax breaks at that point, that their effective rate is less than half that.
Why? None of these right-wing fertility projects ever address the underlying motivation for higher birthrates. Why is it so important that we have more babies? I would love to hear them explain it like I’m five.
So, she’s proposing legislation based on her personal religious beliefs now?
Is that photoshopped? Because, damn! He’s got a crazy hip to waist ratio.
Can’t wait to hear all about it, once she publishes her book.
I bet if I drew a swastika on your shoe…you’d defiantly shoot your own foot off, wouldn’t you?
Except in this case…there are no enforcers. At all.
There is no mechanism in place to actually enforce a court ruling, if the executive branch decides to ignore it. There is no mechanism in place to enforce legislation that’s been passed by Congress, if the executive branch decides to ignore it. There aren’t even any mechanisms in place to enforce Constitutional amendments that should actively restrict the executive branch’s actions. They had a lot to say about what the executive branch should not be allowed to do…but they seemingly forgot to include any way of ensuring they would be held accountable, if they didn’t follow the rules.
There are literally NO “checks and balances” in place to enforce anything if the executive branch decides to ignore the other two branches of government. It’s like passing legislation that declares murder a crime…but not including any consequences for actually committing it.
“But Kamala would have been worse!” /s
Some systems, though, have actual mechanisms for enforcement attached to them. But apparently none of that was included in the legal framework that the entire country is built on.
“Hey! You can’t do that! That very clearly violates Constitutional law.”
“Oh, yeah? What are you going to do about it?”
(checks Constitution) “Oh…uhhh. I guess nothing?”
How do these people not see the irony in any of this? It’s so “on-the-nose” that it may as well be the punchline to a pedophile joke.
It’s sad to realize that there never really were any “checks and balances”. It was all based on an honor system, that relied entirely on no one trying to cross any boundaries.
As soon as Trump pushed even slightly against those so-called guardrails, they simply fell over.
So, is he saying that Epstein wasn’t a child sex-offender now? I thought he called him a creep, just the other day. Now it’s all just a hoax?
It’s fucking enraging how stupid these billionaires actually are. How the fuck do you accumulate that much wealth, and still have no basic common sense?
Oh, right…overwhelming greed and a total lack of empathy.
Your floor would have to be supernaturally flat and level for that to happen.
It would be hilarious to see them all get deported to some random foreign country just for trying, though,
I don’t believe that Trump is making anyone more racist. They always were. What they like about him, is that he validates those feelings. He says everything they’re already thinking, and they relate to that.
Most of those people feel isolated, because those feelings are not acceptable to the rest of us. That’s why they gravitate towards others that feel the same way. When it comes to Trump and their cult…they’ve finally found their people. They feel like they belong, with them.
If they’re feeling disillusioned right now, it isn’t because they feel any different. They haven’t changed. The only thing that might have changed, is they are realizing that Trump is fake as fuck, and has just been using them all along.
That doesn’t bring them any closer to “our side”. It just gives “us” an opportunity to drive a wedge between them and their cult leader. It weakens their movement…but it doesn’t make us allies.
