Care to elaborate?

I don't know anything about him.

Was too hostile?

I'm not "the UEMB". We're different people.

If you want to complain about people not listening, maybe try explaining first. I asked a question, about someone I know nothing about and have no reason to defend nor disparage, and you got snippy with me over it.

If asking for elaboration is too hostile for you, then I don't know what to tell you.

Yeah but JBP is also a POS.

Why does everything have to be 100% this or 100% that?

Ehh, nevermind. Losing battle around here.

blanket statement, is blanket. 

however, minus the all hope is lost for a cordial debate. please stop that. 

a felon in office. let us just digest that fucking nugget.

then we can move onto how this administration is trying it's damndest to [sound like, look like, seems like to be the next hermit country. cutting our ties with the remaining few allies we have left. i'm all for cutting the budget, specifically the military complex...but come on my dude, there are laws in place to make sure that all the checks and balances are there. 

i'm not entirely sure who you voted for, nor do i care, but defending this particular administration, just seems like the wrong side of history.

Buy it from f'ing whom? It is the Palestinian people's land, and they do not want to give it up, especially not to the U.S. or Israel who bombed the hell out of the place in the first place, which is the whole reason it needs to be rebuilt now. Blowing the place up and then using that as an excuse to steal the people's territory... Are we just supposed to be full on gangster's now? I mean, I know this shit is just a distraction, but it still pisses me off with how nonchalantly he's trying to pass off what's essentially being a part of a genocide as nothing more than a real estate deal. >:(

They’ll buy it from desperate Palestinians for pennies on the dollar, providing they can prove they own it, which they probably won’t be able to do because their records are blown to fuck somewhere. So then they’ll (the US or likely a land developer) give the $ to the Israeli government, who will quickly fuck over the real land owner with a “who tills the land owns the land”. It’ll be a complete fuck over of the Palestinian people as their land gets “bought” right from under their feet.

You have to keep in mind that the entire thing is hypothetical. The courts don't have ultimate authority over the exe branch.

Also, JBP is fiddling while Rome burns...

Yeah, man, Trump thinking he can do whatever he wants is "hypothetical." He hasn't lived his entire life around that notion.

the explanation is unnecessary. i wasn't being snippy with you, apologies if it came off that way. i have long had an axe to grind with pritzker, and for me to elaborate on the entire thing would have been a waste of time. i was bored enough with the game to stroll in here, but not bored enough to write an essay. i didn't want to type it all out. and you wouldn't want to read it all, trust me.

Idk why anyone is trying to talk or converse with him on anything he’s done nothing but play victim since he got here and despite several people asking for him to elaborate it’s too much for him to do so, or we don’t want to hear it. Fuck him. Can’t wait until he blocks everyone 😆

ok, so nothing in that post was in defense of the trump admin. i didn't vote them in, and i do not support them. that's what i was referring to with the "100% this or 100% that" part. it's entirely possible to dislike a democrat without supporting the republican he's criticizing. but defending that position is a real chore here, because it inevitably devolves into name calling and flaming.

i regret posting last night. not because of what i said, but because i should have known it would stir up some shit. and that's not what i came back around here to do. shrug.

i asked for clarification because i didn't read it correctly at first. when i read it again, i understood what you were saying and edited. then i responded to your ask in a subsequent post. i was never upset with you. but the resulting conversation kinda set that tone.

ok i've steered this thread off-topic enough. ✌️

i'm not name calling. i'm merely pointing out, exactly how you are coming across. 

nobody wants to the vindication of a nazi, his facist party, or the unconstitutional things they are doing. 

it's really quite simple. 

i've not called you anything, nor flamed,  but leave it to *gestures at people defending a facist regime dem. or rep.* to get bent out of shape.

This one is a really good read. Letters From an American 
Prof Heather Cox Richardson talks about Trump’s EO on the 2nd Amendment and AG Bondi’s task of “making sure the states aren’t making laws which infringe on 2nd Amendment rights”. How Trump’s behavior has been unconstitutional, the role of the courts and most dangerously, the GOP Congress relinquishing power to the Executive Branch  written 2/9/25

I mean, I'll read what I ask for. That is unless I genuinely don't think they're worth the tine, such as Bucket or the like. Even at my most combative, something I'm good at avoiding these days, I've never seriously put you in that category. I may have associated you with that during the classic tantrums I haven't gone on for several years, but I've certainly not held that as a genuine belief.

It might not be worth typing out. I'd be inclined to read regardless. I did ask out of actual curiosity.

It implements U.S. consumer finance laws and issues new rules for lenders and other financial institutions, such as one announced last year to wipe medical debt from credit reports. The CFPB also goes after companies it suspects of dishonest or illegal activity.

"At its core, it's a law enforcement agency," Rohit Chopra, the former director of the CFPB appointed by President Biden, told NPR on Monday. "It takes big financial institutions to court who cheat consumers, whether it's a credit reporting agency or a large bank or a credit card giant."

But who needs any of that I guess, so yeah, now they're shutting down the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. You know the one created after the 2008 bank system collapse in order to stop something like that from ever happening again. So yay for unchecked, rampant greed and making Americans broke again.

Musk makes a good case against himself as to why he absolutely should not have access to people’s personal information. He didn’t necessarily get this info through the treasury or any other government agencies he invaded but just doxxing someone shows how untrustworthy he is.

Love this dudes speech, and his arguments against Trump. No secret I'm a big fan and I've plugged his content here before, but I'm not really even trying to plug him here with this. Politics isn't the main thing I watch him for and definitely not his claim to fame. I just love his stance on this The fact he kind of frames this video towards Trump supporters saying "Look you aren't gonna get what you want either. We're all gonna be fucked if you choose to keep being ignorant."

The Associated Press says the White House blocked it from covering an official event on Tuesday because it did not refer to the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America.

AP Executive Editor Julie Pace said that the White House informed the news agency that its journalists would be barred from attending President Trump's signing of a new executive order because it had not aligned its editorial standards with Trump's preferred name for the body of water.

...

The event was newsworthy; Trump and his adviser, billionaire Elon Musk, spoke of the sweeping cuts they were making to the federal government as part of Musk's government efficiency effort known as DOGE.

...

AP's Stylebook is used not only by its own journalists, but by other news outlets and institutions around the globe. In its guidance, the AP advises that the body of water to the east of Mexico that stretches from Texas to Florida should retain its historic title.

"The Gulf of Mexico has carried that name for more than 400 years," the updated Stylebook entry states. "Refer to it by its original name while acknowledging the new name Trump has chosen."

The U.S. Geological Service has officially adopted "Gulf of America." Apple and Google Maps also call it by that name when searched by users based in the U.S.

Outside the country, "Gulf of Mexico" is still used.

As the AP Stylebook notes, "Trump's order only carries authority within the United States. Mexico, as well as other countries and international bodies, do not have to recognize the name change."

My favorite was Musk doing a “imma let you finish” during a Trump OO press conference. I liked how Musk used his (I’m assuming) child as a human shield. I liked the annoyed look on the Tangerine Nightmare’s face as Musk stammered his way into incorrectly describing the democracy we have in this country.  
 

Won’t be long now before Musk is out on his ass and if not we will def know it’s cuz he owns Trump’s balls.

Justice Robert’s warned JD Vance about displaying open defiance of the court’s orders. Hopefully he won’t pussy out when cases reach the SCOTUS. These so called “constitutional originalists” seem to change their mind over things having to do with Presidential power. When I was coming up in school it was taught the Founders were very serious to not have laws that would be like having a King. They never wanted to be under the rule of a Monarchy ever again.  Giving a President unlimited powers is doing the exact things the Founders never wanted. Is that not true anymore? Did the Founders really not care about that? Maybe someone w a kid in school can enlighten me as to what they’re taught now.

Since you asked so nicely.

This has easily been the greatest 3 week start to a Presidency in my lifetime. This is what everyone hoped Trump would do his first term. He wasnt prepared then, he is now.  Really, we should be thanking Democrats for winning in 2020 and then going the full lawfare route. It allowed Trump to actually prepare for how to govern this time. If he didnt lose in 2020, it would have just been 4 more years of muddling around. But he lost, and then he was able to learn and now know what to do. Its clear that he spent 4 years learning from his mistakes in the first term.

And it shows. Hes not just going at government fraud and waste, hes destroying the pillars that hold it up. Killing USAID was a masterstroke, and completely unexpected. The waste in that agency that has been exposed is damn near criminal. Its pretty clear that it was just money laundering to special interests and NGOs.

Gutting entire agencies, removing their authority, downsizing the government. This is everything that we have hoped a Republican would do, but they never did because they were giant pussies who were too concerned about the fallout. Trump doesnt care about the fallout. Hes doing what needs to be done, and its great.

DOGE will go down as one of the most consequential acts of any President. And funny enough, we have Obama to thank for it. The authority that DOGE is operating under was first created by Obama during Obamacare. Trump tried to get rid of it in his first term, and he failed. Then Biden came along and turned it into a political appointed position, which meant that Trump was free to do the same. And boy did he. Watching what DOGE has been doing on a daily basis is just great. Fantastic work, and I cant wait to see what else they do.

The added bonus has been watching Democrats completely lose it. Full blown hypocrisy, unhinged screeching, and just a complete disconnect with reality. Trump truly has broken the left this time, and its just glorious to watch. The Democratic party is polling in the low 30%s, while Trump is the most popular he has ever been. There has been a clear shift in this country, and its just glorious. Conservatives are more united than they have ever been, and Democrats are in complete disarray. Could not be more pleased with how the start of the 2nd Trump Administration has gone.
