Can’t prosecute Trump because he’s immune. Blanket pardons for his subordinates who break the law on his behalf.

Yeah, this is a nothingburger. If Congress won’t impeach and remove, it essentially means Trump is a king.

2020’s aren’t over yet pal, but I hope we both make it.

Also no kids for me. I got snipped precisely because it would be unconscionable and financially impossible for me to bring a child into the world as things are now.

It’s just speculation, but they’re saying it because nobody has ever been released from CECOT. It’s not unlikely that they are just murdering the inmates and pocketing the money that the United States is giving them, or not sufficiently protecting inmates from violence between other inmates.

Looks fantastic! I bet it tasted great.

Zero evidence for any of that shit you said.

I’d love to be proven wrong, but you won’t deliver.

Did you check under Krasnov?

Biden had the chance to do it and outright refused to place more restrictions on the executive.

I’m not a both-sides’er, but one thing that both parties will absolutely never do is limit their own power, even if it means limiting their opponents simultaneously.

The President and his cabinet are, as we speak, violating the constitution. The Senate is complicit. The House of Representatives is complicit. The Supreme Court is complicit. We are past the point where voting for either Democrat or Republican can meaningfully change anything. We can’t vote to stop the assfucking that we’re getting, we just get to vote for who gets to be on top while it happens. This downward spiral will continue until a revolution occurs or by some miracle a majority of Americans wake up and start voting for new political parties in numbers that could threaten to topple both establishment parties away and implement sweeping government reforms with a strong mandate. Obviously, the way things are going, revolution is far more likely.

The 90 day pause on tariffs is doing all the heavy lifting right now. We’re going back into crisis mode in a few months.

Meanwhile, the stock market isn’t the only indicator of economic health. Mass layoffs are still happening, prices aren’t falling, inflation is still at risk to blow up again, consumer spending is down, and all the major banks are predicting a recession with better than coin flip odds.

We’re absolutely not out of the woods yet.

I use Amazon to find the stuff and then Google the seller. They typically have the same product for sale at the same or similar price on an unaffiliated website. It takes extra effort but it’s worth it if you are seriously trying to boycott Amazon.

Time to buy a gun. The left needs to arm themselves fuckin’ yesterday.

Don’t think that they won’t come for you. The law is powerless to protect you from having your rights trampled on under this administration. All it takes is for King Trump to declare you a gang member and they have carte blanche authority to disappear you off the street.

This administration is evil. You should not need to be compelled to return an innocent man that you acknowledge was wrongly sent to your El Salvadorian gulag, you should want to. He committed no crimes and was living here in the United States legally. Any decent person, any sane administrator, would want to correct this mistake.

After taking a look at that community, not quite since it’s not strictly limited to the science fiction genre. Asksciencefiction is kind of a weird amalgam of subreddits which makes it hard to categorize. Think about the format of the Q&A sub /r/askscience and then tack on /r/fiction. It was more of a roleplaying subreddit than anything. Sometimes there’d be serious discussions, but the best replies were always from people who were roleplaying as people living in the fictional universe.

I tried to make /r/asksciencefiction around the time of the API exodus from reddit. It got a bunch of initial traffic and even got the attention of the mods of the actual subreddit but ultimately I guess they decided to stay on reddit rather than encourage people to go to Lemmy. Anyway, the traffic has slowed to basically nothing and I’ve kind of lost interest in moderating it, not that it really needs it anyway since the community is like 20 users per month.

Just subbed, I love a good cocktail. Second that it would be good to have a version of /r/normalnudes on Lemmy.

Any idiot with a pair of pliers can take the flow regulator out of a consumer-grade shower head that you can buy off the shelf at any hardware store in the country and get as much water pressure as your pipes are capable of pumping into it.

Here’s hoping we all still have enough money to buy shower heads in the new Trump economy so we can enjoy the fruits of his labor. Who needs prosperity and economic stability when you have a roaring torrent of water to take a depression shower like a real American patriot?

How long until the market simply becomes immune to the back-and-forth tariff nonsense? I feel like at this point Trump is just a fucking moron and people are having to seize the wheel from him to prevent total collapse of the system. He hikes the tariffs up, then pauses them hours after they go into effect. The inherently contradictory goal of wanting to bring American manufacturing back to America while simultaneously using tariffs as a negotiating tool makes no fucking sense no matter how you try to explain it.

Is this all just trying to control the narrative that the economy is crashing as a direct result of his economic plan?

Like a parasite that took over the hosts body :D

Carter haters, where ya at? You shat on my boy until the day he died for a much more eloquently delivered request for austerity in the face of economic hardships. Surely this will turn you against Trump forevermore, right?

There won’t be an election for the third term. He doesn’t need any of us now.

Can’t do that. That’d be socialism.
