As the day goes on I'm getting more and more disgusted and embarrassed to be American. Honestly, if emigrating to a decent country wasn't extremely difficult I'd be outta here.
They'll price you out first.
Honestly, the more it goes on the more I just add it to the list of shit that's going to need fixed or replaced once this collapses under its own stupidity.
We can put the department of education back and rename it back to the Gulf of Mexico.
I just hope trump and Biden haven't teed us up for another 9/11 attack
You're assuming we don't completely fall into authoritarianism. I have very little faith in our institutions right now.

It's completely out of our hands. I honestly find it a bit liberating.
Because he owns everything from here on out. He has total power and total immunity.
Trump has a mandate to:
Lower gas prices
Lower grocery prices
Lower interest rates
Lower insurance prices
And raise wages
No excuses either. He should deliver all of this in the first 100 days

None of that shit is going to get done and it won't matter. The Weimar Republic was one of the most progressive nations in the world when the 1930s hit. It can happen, and seemingly has, to us. There's a part of me that thinks that is hyperbolic, but the signs are all there.

Of course he won't. The average time between the passing of republican tax cuts and the ensuing recession is around 18 months.
I don't have to be an accelerationist. I have Donald Trump.

“All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.”
Birthright citizenship is constitutional.

It would have said "all emancipated slaves" if that were the case.
Not that the constitutionalists at the supreme court give a shit either way.

Hey, Pete. One of Trump's eo's ended a refugee program and thusly ended the "feet dry" policy that has expatriated Cubans for decades.
Cuban Pete has to apply for a Visa like everyone else. I'm sure that will be popular in Miami
