To this point- Biden is still the president for 62 more days. Trump has shown what he plans to do with power, and what is Biden doing? The headlines from today were going to the rainforest and awarding CHIPS act money. Not rallying the resistance or doing anything to meaningfully protect us. It’s hard to imagine Biden doing it, but I could see a more energetic and youthful leader actually trying to be a speed bump for Trump. What a shame we’re here.
Fun fact, the US gov already has a government efficiency division and it’s called the Government Accountability Office. But I do enjoy the irony of Trump’s government having two efficiency departments.
Two small points-
- he brought the classified docs case earlier and that case has been dismissed pending appeal, so I don’t think the timing matters there.
- due to the Supreme Court’s interference, we are probably still a year from a verdict. They were going to help him avoid accountability no matter when the charges were brought.
Sounds like something you would do if you were about to remove a very popular feature like old reddit in the coming months.
I agree this is of questionable veracity, but could you imagine if for example fb users had trouble following Trump? There would be a whole news cycle culminating in a congressional hearing. When people talk about the asymmetrical standards that conservatives are held to vs liberals in the media this is a prime example.
Yup. You need to project complete confidence until the moment you drop out, once you say “This is a hugely important decision, the hardest one I’ve ever had to make, so I’m taking my time” Boom you have lost control and it’s over.
However it appears the writing is on the wall at this point. The next question is, once he decides to no longer run should he resign? If he isn’t up for the job of running how does he instill confidence that he can remain president? Plus it hands the nomination to Kamala no question.
I use cash exclusively at liquor stores and fast food joints and have for years. Sounds like I should expand the list.
