That's effectively my assessment. I've never viewed Trump as the main threat. He's just the mouth and head and while he might bite, it's so very often based on the whim of the body and the whispers of those nearby. That said, if a natural passing took him tonight we'd see a lot of what has been built crumble. My worry is he'll end up being like that Grandma who smoked for 50 years and died in her sleep: Largely immune to his life of imbalance, greed, and gluttony, and able to live long enough to properly pass the torch. Cause make no mistake, if he passed in a way that was unquestionably natural, we'd quickly see rifts form.
That's just it too. If you want any strategy to combat the next two years it'll be through the undermining of the various subtle factions in the MAGA and GOP. It's already there, we just gotta poke it in the correct spots to send up sparks in the right places.
Moreover, the trustee, amongst other powers granted, has a legal expectation to do what is best for whomever he is technically representing. Despite The Onion's smaller monetary bid, they really did have the higher bid overall.
If I was in Trump's orbit I'd be using him as a gravity slingshot to get my own desires considered. Just throw ideas at him that I know he'd consider because I worded it in a way that he likes, or better yet led him on so he believes he had the idea first.
Basically, Trump is a showman, a frontman, not the main man. He's just bigger than life and casts a long shadow where the real demons can lay.
You're hellbent on being willfully blind. Most of us ONLY talk about factual reports and investigations when we talk about someone. Stop hiding in your shell and being afraid of alienating your social circles with viewpoints they probably won't agree with.
I managed to catch myself good old Periodontal Disease. This freaked me out. My anxiety and ADHD shook hands and many of you can imagine what happened.
A couple days and who knows how many hours later I emerged like a butterfly from my self-imposed isolation with new knowledge. In short, yes, the amount of fluoride in water processed in various districts across the U.S. is tiny. The amount used does vary. Some studies have concluded that excess fluoride can have an effect on brain activity. However, they have been inconclusive in drawing actual parallels between any form of neurological functioning - though I can't remember if I've read that particular study.
Anyway, remember who is yelling about this. As with many issues brought up like this it's more about standing on a hill and shouting rather than any real significant problem. A platform to be seen and heard.
Btw, I completely halted my Periodontal and even reversed some of the lesser effects it had. Sometimes that adhd rabbit hole comes in handy.
Biden isn't on your side. Neither are the Democrats.
They could be. If we take a deep breath and collectively decide to tell the collective political establishment as it stands to fuck off, we CAN make change. On a side note: This is also how you fight fascism.
That's often the reason. We had some bullshit in my State during the election. It was worded in a way that despite being someone who enjoys doing the writing, I still felt like I had to look it up.
Kaepora Gaebora can kiss my shiny metal ass, dammit.
This time, 183 Democrats and one Republican voted against the bill, and only 15 Democrats voted for it—down from 52 last week. Since then, there’s been a full-court-press civil society campaign to take down H.R. 9495. Nearly 300 organizations—including the ACLU, the Sierra Club, the AFL-CIO, Planned Parenthood, and the NAACP—have signed a letter pointing out that Trump is likely to use this bill to silence any of his enemies, not just Palestinians and their supporters. As Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) pointed out, that could also include nonprofit news outlets.
Rep. Lloyd Doggett (D-Texas) is one of the dozens of Democrats who flipped their vote on the bill since Trump’s election. (Go yell at Colin Allred, Henry Cuellar, and Vicente Gonzalaz instead)
He gave a personal example of why. One of the organizations whose nonprofit status Trump wants to terminate, Doggett said, “has protested one of my speeches.”
It is also exceedingly important to note that plenty on the Right don't explicitly hate Trans people. That's a rhetoric. They may be worried about some of the news "reports" and """stories""", had to triple quote that one, and yes the radical Right and MAGA do buy in hard and hate due to racial and superiority bullshit. What so many on the Right who are on the fence about these things are truly scared of...
Is having an opinion that deviates from the people around them who they've known probably all their lives. Unlike us on the Left who hiss and spit at one another every time one of us has a family gathering, many on the Right fear alienating their social circles.
If you ever want to change the mind of someone on the Right you really just need to soothe their rabid, horrid, twisted by those around them, frothing soul of an angry jackass and make them feel as if they can actually believe something else could be the truth.
