Well just think of it this way. The last time the GOP fucked up this badly, they lost the majority for nearly 60 years. I mean the United States suffered for nearly ten years and we literally had to have a World War to pulls us out, but the GOP was a marginal cockroach for over half a century.
Clearly they're just missing their old stomping grounds.
Ha ha, but for real. They'll just turn people's power off, tell them to ration, and/or jack the price per kWh to 500% what it was.
Team Orange let's no good calamity go to waste. Everything is potential profit if you have no moral compass.
Experts warn his messaging confuses parents and downplays the proven protection of the MMR vaccine
Oh look RFK is getting people nearly killed. Who could have seen this coming?
You're mostly right in that the person you're replying is missing that we are providing money for those people's detention. But El Salvador doesn't HAVE TO give the person back, there's nothing outside of us stopping payments that compels them.
It's a semantic difference indeed but goes to point out the difference between legal means and diplomatic means. Legally, there's nothing the US can do, once the person is in El Salvador they are under that country's legal system. Diplomatically, yes, absolutely we can ask El Salvador to hand the person back or there will be diplomatic and potentially economic consequences for not doing so.
Now as others have pointed out, the Executive branch has a wide latitude for diplomatic powers. Judge indicated that the President work diplomatically to bring the person home, but outside of that, the "or else" part. There's not much the Judge can do past that.
Additionally, El Salvador could press charges on the person and then there would be nothing that can be done to bring the person home in any legal means and likely less so diplomatically. This is the issue with sending people there. President Bukele of El Salvador could wish for better diplomatic relationships with the United States and Trump and just invent charges to keep the person there forever. There's literally nothing we can do is El Salvador indicates that they are keeping the person and there's nothing in the court system that can compel anyone to make those reasons clear.
That's the biggest thing about the difference between diplomatic and legal. In legal means, the Court system can ensure that people are following through on requirements. In a diplomatic means, it's just depends on who can butter who's biscuit the best. The Judge can tell the President to bring him back, but that means next to nothing when it comes to diplomatic matters.
If it passes the House, it doesn't matter, Trump can veto it.
Immigration and Naturalization Service v. Chadha in 1983 declared Legislative Veto unconstitutional. It should have been then when all the emergency powers were rewritten.
So as it stands. All those emergency powers that were written with the understanding that a simple majority was all that was needed to end an emergency, now need a veto proof majority.
President Trump will impose a 10% tariff on all countries
It's just whatever at this point. Clearly he's gunning for recession, fuck it. Nobody in Congress stopping him.
At this point all those emergency powers Congress has given the President since the 1920s needs to be pulled back because clearly we can no long assure that the President won't declare everything an emergency.
Schedule F classification. Trump tried it once towards the end of his first term, promised that he would do it again when he came back into office but Trump lost that election.
That he's now doing again is literally no surprise. He absolutely promised that this would happen and spoke about how he was going to do it if he won 2024 after losing 2020.
Long story short, this creates what basically amounts to at-will employment at the Federal level. Again, this should come as a shock to no one, like he started detailing the implementation back in 2022, before he even got the nomination, it's literally one of the most consistent things about Trump's policy.
Now if you're wondering, yes, at-will employment styled employment in Federal Office will mean that if Trump doesn't like someone for any reason, they can be let go, zero employment protections.
Elon Musk is neither President or Vice President, yet yields a massive amount of power for someone who is just "an independent contractor".
This is what I'm getting at. That a JD Vance President and Mike Johnson VP (let's just say for sake of illustration) could indicate they're bringing Trump on as a "consultant" and then leave their jobs largely up to him.
Technically speaking Vance would still hold the title President but Trump would be executing most of the functions.
Yeah. Then Putin took back the role of President using the argument that Medvedev being President allowed Putin to run again despite term limits.
Medvedev became Prime Minister, then everyone in Parliament resigned all at the exact same time, leaving the President as the only one running the place.
Putin rewrote the Constitution and that was the end of that.
NBC News asked about a possible scenario in which Vice President JD Vance would run for office and then pass the role to Trump. Trump responded that “that’s one” method.
That isn't a method. At in the sense that Trump obtains the title President. But we've seen during this administration that the President can delegate broad authority to others with zero questions.
So we could have a President who is still the President in name but has passed 99.9% of their duties to Trump who is an "independent contractor".
This is quite literally the foundation they're building with Musk.
Kids aren't going to work these stupid ass jobs. And if they are working a hotel, they aren't going to give a fuck if some stick up their ass tourist gets upset, they'll just flip the person off and walk out.
Teenagers aren't going to fucking fill these positions DeSantis is pitching. Migrants work it because they've got a need to do the work. A lot of teenagers work jobs because they'd like a little extra cash, but outside, they give flying fuck. Hell, the biggest fucking reason teens got jobs in the first place to fund their car is falling apart as more teens just skip the whole driving thing or start way later in life driving.
DeSantis is living in some yesteryear daydream.
This guy is a double idiot. That he would think the manufacturing would be around before the tariffs went into place. it's just silly thinking.
But also that he believes "go woke, go broke" isn't the exact same thing he's facing, is a whole other level of ignorance.
There's no way this person isn't just rage bait. No one could truly be this fucking regraded. I refuse to believe there are people this genuinely ignorant who aren't just out there for rage bait.
