It's pointless to use force. That would mean breaking all treaties with the Bahamas. Which would free the Bahamas to do things that are normally prohibited, like putting all the newly arrived immigrants on a boat and sailing them 50 miles right back to Florida.

Trump isn't in charge of Bahamas. So if they say nobody gets off a plane in their airport, then nobody can get off the plane. The pilot can either sit in the cockpit forever or fly everyone home.

Trump can't send people to the Bahamas without the goverment's permission. They won't be allowed off the plane, and eventually the plane has to return to the US.

But nothing has stopped. UHC will do the same thing tomorrow it has been doing all year.

If drug dealers are on the streets, then they obviously aren't being held accountable by the law. So is lynching them OK?

OK, suppose lynch mobs started forming in your city to hang drug dealers. Would you cheer them on?

Neither do lynch mobs. Should we cheer them on?

If the state had executed the CEO, why would you complain?

People right here on Lemmy often complain when murderers are executed. For good reason.

Do you also cheer when prisoners are executed? Many of them are evil bastards too.

By all accounts, Trump genuinely wanted Gaetz to be his AG.

It's either that or simply confirm all of Trump's nominees. But given what happened to Gaetz, they don't seem to want to do so.

The Senate can stop him.

Trump's plan is to force a recess, during which he can make appointments. But the appointment only lasts for one Senate session. Crucially, a session lasts however long the Senate wants, and there is no limit to how many sessions they hold.

So after making a recess appointment, the Senate could immediately end their session and immediately start a new one, thus terminating all the recess appointments. And they can do this over and over if Trump keeps trying to make recess appointments.

Because in the 2028 election, the GOP would be reminded why Social Security is the third rail of politics.

Get out of the way of vigilantes? No thanks. They don't have a solution either.

Possibly, depending on how you define the problem.

Many healthcare related problems have been addressed to varying degrees in the EU, so I think that is often a good place to look for solutions.

Lots of people are willing to take jobs with a significant risk of being shot, including drug dealers, mercenaries, and bodyguards.

They usually do it for the money, and it's usually much less money than the CEO of UHC.

That's equivalent to nuking the filibuster. Which Thune doesn't want to do, because it guarantees that Social Security Plus is enacted in 2028.

Why would UHC shareholders care about the cause of death?
