Maybe that’s a good reason to stop providing classified intel to an unelected, unconfirmed official who has taken no oath to defend the Constitution of the United States.

All of the appointments with the exception of Rubio were split 50 Republican/50 Democrat with Vance as the tie breaker. Look them up for yourself.

I’m with you on the rest. I’m just saying they’re actively trying to stop Trump. We need to primary out the deadwood centrists in favor of progressives that will actually fight for the working class.

Democrats voted and spoke out against Trump’s cabinet nominations, forced a 15-day vote against Trump’s executive order, confirmed Biden’s pending judicial appointments when Republican attendance is low, and are the ones bringing these cases to the courts. I wouldn’t call that clutching pearls.

I’m aware. I’m not saying it was the right choice. I’m saying it was a lose/lose situation. The military powers are more of a formality to keep the Republicans in Congress’s hands clean. They have majority regardless.

The CR/shutdown was a lose/lose. According to EO 14210, Trump could terminate non-essential government employees in a large-scale reduction of workforce if there is insufficient funding. It would expedite Project 2025.

I’m with you. Either pay attention or hold your criticism of the only people actively trying to stop the Trump administration.

Democrats voted and spoke out against Trump’s cabinet nominations, forced a 15-day vote against Trump’s executive order, confirmed Biden’s pending judicial appointments when Republican attendance is low, and are the ones bringing these cases to the courts. They are doing everything they can to stop this from the minority.

It depends on where you live. Believe it or not, kids still care for their elderly parents in some nations.

He’ll be remembered as the man who united the world…against the US. Lol

What’s the over/under on trade shifting to the Renminbi before his term is through?

Of course it can, just as science has the ability to do the same. Do we brand all scientists as unethical because of Unit 731 or the Nuremberg trials? Ironically, this entire thread is very unscientific in its criticism of the religious.

So you’re saying that you want separation from religion. Why can’t they have that from you? I agree that religion doesn’t belong in government. What about that justifies extermination of religion?

I didn’t ask about self harm. I asked about others. Are you afraid you’re going to harm yourself, or that a religious person could harm you? How is an individual’s beliefs your business if they don’t impact you? You sincerely believe that the way to solve religious persecution by some is to persecute all of the religious?

Way to project. Find me articles on Buddhists harming people because they think they can fly. While I’m waiting, would you like me to provide scientific research that resulted in harm?

You can’t have it both ways. If you want boundaries that protect you from the religious, then you yourself must respect the same boundary.

That’s where atheists overstep. Why does it matter what someone believes if it has no effect on you? Isn’t that exactly what you criticize the religious of doing?

Many religions are. The ones that focus inward to better yourself are not bothering anyone. When was the last time a Buddhist knocked on your door and asked you to find Buddha?

Edit: The self-righteousness of some atheists is truly hypocritical. Persecution is wrong, whether it’s of an atheist by a religious person, or vice versa. Yet another reason to be disappointed in my fellow man, I guess.

Protests are bigger on the weekends.

They’re not covered in the states either. Most of us know not to bring phones to protests, so the crowd videos are pretty limited, but you can find some on TikTok and Instagram. The next big one is on April 5th. Keep an eye out on social media for posts.

It’s almost as if Trump shouldn’t have waived the mandatory FBI background checks for cabinet members. Y’know, the ones that would’ve caught all of these vulnerabilities?🤔

That’s for sure. We also leave cell phones at home or in the car. NYPD has stingrays at every protest. Just bring your ID and some cash.

Protests are very successful in increasing awareness in disengaged citizens.
