Well in fairness, if you hurt those industry's with less travel, the people in those industries who end up out of jobs and with no money will die at greater numbers. They would be mostly outside the US though, so this administration doesn't care about that. But at the same time, if they gut the programs in the US that are peoples saftey nets, maybe it will include Americans.

Maybe these billionaires should be required to actually raise their own children for a few years. Anyone who has knows that you can't make a person care about something just by telling them it is important. They have to want to care about it on thier own. With how he treats his employees, they have no real reason to care about what's important to him.

Since you seem so sure of your opinion. Tell me how the new head of the faa directly caused this. Should be easy if you read the article.

I dunno. Having worked a job... I know first hand how things run when the "senior officials" are all at a retreat. The answer is, "much better". Don't get me wrong, you need some higher ups. But they are usually not directly involved in day to day operations.

Read the article. The person you want to put on trial is dead. And all of trumps "changes" have hardly taken effect yet. Unless the helo piolot was a transgender pilot that was intentionally committing suicide, this one isn't on trump. But don't worry, there will be no shortage of things to blame on trump for at least the next decade.

He was reasonably smart, and hella charismatic. They just left out the mental illness part that drove him to utilize his player stats to do all the evil he accomplished. They could also say he was an extremely influential man because of his massive and lasting impact on the world. It's just lipstick on a pig. We know the whole story.

This is an interesting point. So what is causing the TB outbreak.

Also, the right doesn't have a monopoly on hearing what they want to hear.

Vote for progressive candidates (even if they are dem) in the midterms, and advocate that others do so. That's the easy thing. Low chance of success, similar effort to claiming everyone else should care about things they don't.

Next up, run for local office. But don't campaign, just pay the application fee, put your name in, and send in a write up for the voter guide that says to support the real progressive candidates. Slightly more effort, but slightly more impact.

There are tons of small things you can do. Even donating $5 to a progressive candidate would be more effective than saying people should care.

I'm not defeatest. I just can't stand focusing on impractical solutions instead of things that can make a difference.

Sounds great, but you might as well shout at the rain. It isn't going to happen.

What tv shows/movies with gay and straight people. Don't do what you see the gay people do. For a lot of people, especially the gay haters, their only experience of gay people is from tv and movies.
Of course anything too gay friendly they won't have watched. So skip will and grace. Go for things where the gay person is minor comic relief. That is the kind of stuff the haters would have put up with. And I assume there must be some shows or movies that demonize gay people. Those would be research material. I just don't know of any. Maybe listen to that black comedian who was anti LGBTQ+. I am sure he was spouting all the sterotypes that haters would recognize.

The supreme court would probably side with the IG on this. They support conservative ideas, but they also clearly want to ensure they keep power for themselves. Even the thing about a sitting pres being immune for official acts actually had a clause that said the courts decide what an official act is.
So the letter is the basis for that legal filing. Which can also file for an injunction to stop the firing from taking effect far longer than the 30 days.

Well technically it isn't illegal until a court says it is. So you need the alledgedly in the front. But can you really blame them for not labeling it illegal. They know they would be retaliated against.

I think the key is who it is disruptive to. Blocking traffic just pisses off the average person. The decision makers don't care about the average person. You gotta disrupt the decision makers. But you also have to be prepared for them to fight back hard.

Vegas I am sure.

I was on one about 7 years ago with a guy who didn't believe in prison. He was never going to vote guilty. Where I was you only needed 10 out of 12, which is very rare. And since then they changed to needing 12 out of 12, so quiet jury notification has already started...

Sadly it seems like 95% just want to rant.
I don’t know enough about AOC to say fraud or not. But it doesn't actually matter. Trump is the biggest fraud there is. He still is getting people what they asked for (conservative supreme court, abortion stuf...). So AOC could be a fruad and still do what we want for her own gain. So I think she is currently the most likely to pick up the bernie tourch. But the dems establishment will fight against her. So it will be a long short. The republican establishment got caught sleeping with trump. They didn't think he had a chance, and didn't fight hard enough. The dem establishment won't be sleeping at the wheel thanks to that. And dems also have a higher bar for the integrity of thier candidates. So it will be an uphill climb. AOC probably won't even try it.

The next election will be very interesting.
If trump is still functional (in the goes to rallies for a successor sense), will there be someone he can or will transfer his popularity to. I kind of doubt it. Anyone able to take on that popularity is a threat to him. Maybe he would do it for one of his kids, because he might think he could control them, but I still doubt it. So he might submarine his own party.

That would open the door for another boring centrist from the democrats that "plays ball" with the party elites.

If trump is too feeble to do any rallies and such. That would allow a trump like replacement to pick up the republican torch. This would push the dems toward needing a progressive trump like populist to try to win. The dem "party" (the people behind the scenes) would fight that. Just like they did when Bernie was up against Hillary. And could end up handing it to the new trump like person. This would be the path to your future one party system.

The third scenario would have trump die in office somehow. Vance would "play ball" with the rep party elite in a heartbeat. And he is more like a pre-trump politician. We saw that in the vp debate. But the party elite would probably back him. It could end up with the return of the pre trump days with boring poloticians who just do what the party elite say, with the party elite m9ving back into the shadows.

You can't push back against the person who doesn't care. These "trump" things aren't likely coming from trump. All he wants is attention. So as long as someone spins an idea to him that will get him attention, he will sign it. He hasn't had an original idea in decades. So you won't see push back in public much. It will happen between the people behind the scenes.

Well in fairness, the pendulum keeps swinging farther with each new administration. So the split is never going to happen until it does. No way to know if this is the time or not. But unless something happens to break the cycle of more and more extremism, their will be a serious attempt at a split eventually. Weather it results in some kind of civil war where one side forces the other to stay, or a split actually happens is also unknowable.
