The US Marshals are the enforcement mechanism

Start sending US Marshals to the DOJ to arrest a few higher ups for contempt of court and remind them that the judiciary has a branch of law enforcement too.

What Americans are calling people idiots for saying (day) of (month)? We say it both ways all the time. 4th of July, July 4th… it’s not a complicated thing.

Everyone knows that tornados never touch down on Wednesdays at noon. When they do… well, we’re fucked.

This… might actually be an improvement. Okay, hear me out. The film industry has been overloaded lately with over-bloated budgets for CG light shows with little substance, narrative, or character appeal. A BIG part of the reason for that is because for the last decade or two Hollywood has been making as much or more money from the Chinese box office as they do the US. As such, they have prioritized the lowest common denominator between what will sell between both countries. That stuff that sells is visual effects, action, basic stories, simple characters, and non-politically or culturally challenging content that will be censored.

This has SEVERELY limited film making and resulted in a lot of samey uninteresting stuff coming out in theatre’s for years now. It has killed witty comedies that do not transcend culture or language well. It has killed divisive narratives that wouldn’t get the Chinese government’s approval. It has dumbed down stories and killed nuance so that that audiences don’t need cultural context to understand them.

If studios no longer think they can make money hand over foot off the Chinese box office with another cgi robot movie or some such shlock, they may make more unique, smaller budget films with more complex characters, better humor, counter-cultural aspects, challenging narratives, and minimal CGI. They can stop exclusively farming all the existing globally recognizable IP to rehash the same stories over and over with updated visuals. They can revitalize an industry that sorely needs it.

Surely that second building is AI generated or something right? Surely physics would not allow such a monstrosity, nor would any city approve it… right?

Nah, you need patience. Another week and they’ll be perfect.

I really don’t give a shit what his motives are. Greed? Ego? Coercion? Power trip? Russian puppetry? An actual earnest desire to promote American manufacturing and self-sufficiency? It doesn’t fucking matter because Trump is destroying the American economy, turning all of our allies against us, revoking civil rights, and supporting and committing ethnic cleansing and genocide. By whatever means necessary, this shit needs to stop, and soon.

“Alien Enemies can be given a life sentence without chance of parole in a notorious prison in another country with no hearing or trial, and we will not provide any information to the judiciary whatsoever to allow for any amount of oversight.” For arguments sake, let’s accept that insanity as a true and just statement. Without oversight, without due process, what happens when you make a mistake of identity? “Just trust us”. What happens when you stretch the definition of “alien enemy” past where it should apply? “Just trust us”. What happens when you mistakenly or intentionally target innocents and citizens who are constitutionally guaranteed due process? “Just trust us!” No! Even if you weren’t the most untrustworthy, corrupt, evil fucks to ever hold power, no! I wouldn’t trust Gandhi not to make an occasional mistake. Due process is the BARE MINIMUM you can do to double check facts and mitigate risk of abuse of power.

If anyone can be denied due process, ANYONE and EVERYONE can be denied due process. That means you and me, your parents, your spouse, your children. Remember that

It’s not as good a likeness as Bush’s or Obama’s paintings she made, but it’s not far off and he looks healthier and younger in her painting than in real life, but whatever dude.

Why do we keep picking random things to point out that tariffs will effect their price. The tariffs will effect almost everything’s price. Even if things are made in America, very few things are made with 100% American resources, meaning at least some materials, parts, and assembly will be done outside the US and be subject to Tariffs. And even if the thing is 100% American made, when all the competition has to raise prices, guess what they will do too. Nearly nothing will be unaffected by tariffs.

Kiss our collective asses, you fucking oligarch loser

I don’t think they “net” 2 wins. The seats were already Republican held and remain Republican held. So it’s a wash.

Thank Christ! Let that idiot narcissist’s bad PR poison every endeaver he takes up for the rest of his days.

Sehn-tar, because I am American and that’s how I learned to say it. How am I meant to justify a common pronunciation?

Right, but the problem is there is nothing that makes him ineligible to be President. The 22nd amendment does not make one unqualified ot be President after serving two terms does it? It says “No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice.” Apart from the additional bit about serving a partial term, that’s it. The limitation is on being elected, not serving, and the amendment itself identifies that there is a difference given they use the term “holding” the office when talking about someone being President without being elected. So, frankly, were I a law-as-written kind of judge, I would have to recognize that distinction and rule that the 22nd amendment does not rule out 3rd terms through succession. Unless there is another law or precedent that I’m unaware of, there does seem to be a pretty glaring opening here.

So… technically speaking… there is a way that may be legally dubious, but it’s not expressly, objectively against the constitution and hasn’t been ruled on in any court. The term limits in the constitution do expressly forbid being elected to more than two terms or more than once if you have served more than half a term that your weren’t elected president (like if you took over as VP after the President dies/resigns like LBJ and Ford). But there is nothing that prevents him from taking a position in the line of succession. He could even run as VP for another candidate. If he did so, even if they said publically that it was their intention for the presidential candidate to resign immediately once taking office and for Trump to become president again, there doesn’t seem to be anything preventing that. It certainly defies the spirit of the law, but not the letter of it.

Alternatively, suppose the courts did rule that approach illegal. They just move the goal post. He could take the Speakership and be next in line after the VP. He doesn’t even have to win an election to do that. Speaker of the House doesn’t have to be a House Representative. The GOP could nominate him to the house and confirm him without so much as a public poll. Then, should the Republicans win the Presidency, they could simply resign both President and VP and then Trump assumes office again.

None of that expressly breaks the law. Which is fucking nuts. But they left that loophole open by writing in the language of the amendment not that a person “cannot serve more than two terms as president” but that they cannot be “elected” to more than two. Given that there are many routes the presidency that do not require you be elected to that role, that seems like a glaring omission that only requires a conniving group of conspirers willing to evacuate positions of power for Trump. Will that happen? I don’t know. But can it? It does seem so.

Tariffs for Canada and Mexico would only be beneficial for automotive manufactures if A) American manufacturers were not heavily invested in and leveraging factories in Canada and Mexico and B) Canada and/or Mexico had any major auto manufacturers of their own competing with American brands. Neither of those is true. They MAY divest from Canadian or Mexican factories as a result and reinvest in domestic factories. BUT they are going to take big losses for that divesture AND be paying tariffs every time their parts ship between their factories across the borders right now. Their costs are going to go up and Americans will have to pay for the difference there.
