happney65: How will he? If he can,that means the right to bear Military style arms too can be eliminated when the Dems get back power.
It is so Simple as ABC
The SCOTUS will side with him or he ignores them. They made him King. There are no guardrails the Courts are not going to be able to stop anything. I can count 4 votes in favour o this order already.
Ibime: So Americas new President now launches PnD Solana meme coins?
Once a conman, always a conman
Unfortunately crime is the new legal. He has absolute immunity now, he can just argue that it's an official act. What were Americans expecting? Elect a criminal expect crimes.
Blacks are NOT Americans, even if they are citizens
This is what these MAGA Republicans, white Christian Nationalists think about blacks. They are now the mainstream of RNC and bold to spew their racism and bigotry.
They should extend it to Hispanics too abeg. They voted for Agent Orange.
Ibime: Rubbish. I will keep capitalising because I know the game. A President is a president for all, not for the 5%. At least 95% of peeps will lose money from his rugpull while he and his cronies will make bank. This is the height of financial recklessness and grifting. From today, his name shall be President rugpull or President Pyramid Scheme. This is not the first time, he has already rugpulled his NFT before
I never defended SBF, only batted away your lame attempts to claim he was politically protected. The same SBF is in jail today, held to account by responsible Government while Trump is doing his own SBF. The Foxes are really in charge of the hen house. Typical MAGAs, who are the biggest criminals, yet will lie to convince people that democrats are committing crimes they commit wilfully and brazenly. Gaslighting of the highest order.
Getting rugged by the "President of the United States" is insane work.
cococandy: They’re really scary people. They just make up stuff and defend it with everything they have. Not a care in the world for what’s actually true.
End result of the mindfvckery that’s been going on.
Days before the election one of my mutuals on Twitter posted that if after thousands of Covid deaths he got 74 million votes and only lost by an hair what's to say that Americans would re-elect him since they weren't bothered by that. He turned out to be right.
Americans deserve everything and I repeat everything they are going to get. The government of the Oligarchy never means well for the people.
I feel sorry for the 75 million people who voted for Kamala and America's neighbors and allies who would have to deal with the incoming madness.
cococandy: Like clockwork, Republicans are on track to ruin the lives of older Americans. Just like they are known to do. Always ready to dismantle good measures put in place to protect vulnerable populations. Guess who’s going to benefit from hiking up the price of insulin for older people on Medicare? Definitely not the working class.
cococandy: They know the truth . I refuse to chalk it up to ignorance.
As with all their politicians that they go gaga about, it’s almost always about something else than the job or the ability of the nominee to do the job.
Pete said he wants to restore “warrior culture ” to the military (whatever that truly means) without women in combat positions. That’s the reason they support him. It’s usually some emotional nonsense like this that fuels their political stances.
But it’s pathetically funny coming from a blubbering alcoholic who smells like whiskey at work. Pretty sure a female soldier can mop the floor with him without breaking a sweat. He doesn’t need senate confirmation. He needs to go to rehab. But one can only hope.
I haven't verified this story but here is a report on Women serving in combat roles during World War 2 and what they accomplished. It will never be well with the Far-right for believing that this is "DEI hire."
cococandy: This absolute piece of garbage of a man said he’ll sober up if he’s given the job. Not before. Can anyone else even keep a low tier job with this kind of label hanging over them? Regularly gets drunk at work. Been fired multiple times at different jobs for misconduct. His behavior and record alone make him susceptible to blackmail. Not a position for a secretary of defense. The whole thing is a joke. White supremacy at its finest.
That’s why I look at black people who parrot the right wing anti DEI narrative with disdain. No critical thinking skills.
If it were a Black person conservative fools and the Black people who parrot these right wing racist talking points would call the person a DEI hire. Pete Hegseth is as unqualified as they come.
IjeBos: Republicans brought forth this notion that guns ownership is absolute and should be unregulated from whole cloth. The 2nd amendment wasn't intended for that purpose. When it was written militias had a more formal meaning. Each colony had it's own militia where every man had to belong. When the amendment was written it was to make sure the militia could push back against a federal Undemocratic standing army. Even the term "bear arms" was most referenced when talking about military service.
Republicans did what Reoublicans did and bullshited their way to this new view of gun rights.
But nothing will change until the Supreme Court changes. Just more children dying.
Former Chief Justice Burger was highly critical of the gun lobby interpretation of the 2nd Amendment and he was a conservative Justice. He saw the future. I blame Scalia for this with his horrendous decision in D.C v. Heller.
Maeve7: A militia is an organization of armed citizens, that’s the definition of a militia. If citizens have no access to guns, they can’t form a militia, unless of course the government calls for it to supplement the military but they won’t do it to fight themselves, which the founding fathers intended to in the case of tyranny.
I am not making a case for gun ownership, just putting things in perspective.
A militia supplements for the military and this happens in times of war. There is no war going on in the USA for there to be a need for citizens to own guns. The text also talks about regulations. There are very few regulations in place and gun ownership is very loose. As we both agree that's it is the government that call for it to supplement for the military as originally intended I wonder why Conservatives refuse to see it that way and are obsessed with weapons.
I know that you were not making a case for it. I understand the idea of the amendment too and it's just bonkers especially from the conservative side. It's all about profit.
Maeve7: I believe that there are good and bad people everywhere.
The right to bear arms has its roots in the founding documents and made a lot of sense in these days as it was formulated to protect a young self-governing nation from tyranny. Whether it still serves a purpose is disputable. As it may be, there is no way the collective American psyche is ready to give up on this right. It is too deeply ingrained and a tradition, for some even a necessity. Stricter regulations is as far as any effort to prevent more loss of life can go but not in the next 2-4 years with a Republican House and Senate.
"A well regulated militia"
Citizens are not well regulated militias. Citizens should not be having access to guns. There is no war going on. Even when wars happen the citizens cannot overpower the government unless there is sabotage.
Citizens shouldn't be having access to guns. Simple. In Scotland, Australia they banned these and no gun violence. Europe is sane because that madness was done away with. It's common sense. The gun lobby exists for profits not to save lives or defend anything. No citizen can defend itself against the government apparatus so that's a silly reason for owning guns. Reduce the access to guns, heavily restrict it's use or better still ban it. Or more people will keep dying.
I hope the coming generations have the sense to do the right thing. It will never be well with the gun lobby for corrupting the 2nd Amendment..
AmazonTopaz: Americans are evil. This gun epidemic needs to stop. People should not be easily accessing guns. How many must die for us to understand that this is not supposed to be a controversial opinion?
The shooter was a minor.
"Abundant Life Christian school."
How very Christian, "Thoughts and Prayers" as RepubliQans always say.
Maeve7: Meanwhile in Wisconsin, another school shooting. My heart goes out to the families who have lost a loved one, the students and teachers.
Americans are evil. This gun epidemic needs to stop. People should not be easily accessing guns. How many must die for us to understand that this is not supposed to be a controversial opinion?
GracieX3: He was in constant back pain. I'm sure that he saw how poor people with similar condition were denied.
I am following the case. I need to know more about his motive. There is nothing that justifies him killing that man. I feel bad that he threw his privilege away for what though? Anyway we shall see.
Luigi was born with a silver spoon a very cute boy and he threw it all away for what? Yikes.
GracieX3: In other news, Ben Shapiro has made a fool of himself twice on the United Health's CEO's murder.
He was blaming the left as people who support murder and wrongly thinking that people will not empathise with millions who were denied healthcare coverage.
Even his own fans blasted him on his YouTube videos. The comment were all mocking and criticising him. Healthcare is a bipartisan issue- it doesn't matter if you are Conservative or Liberal.
May more right wing clowns who lick the boots of corporate billionaires be exposed.
budaatum: He would ignorantly claim a medical doctor is wasting time studying law too because its not something he's ever heard of.
He is obviously not aware that Nigerians who studied Law in Nigeria can become Lawyers abroad too without having to go to the University for 4 or 3 years depending on the country abroad. That's how you know a very ignorant person. There are Nigerian Lawyers who are lawyers abroad who learned about a whole new different jurisdiction just by following certain requirements that didn't require going back to school for up to 4 years to learn about them again.
folake4u: Yeah, same here. I'm glad I studied it as well. It is such a versatile profession.
Recently, my coursemate from school who's also a lawyer recently delved into Finance. Like actual Finance. She's doing very well now.
If I want to deviate from Law, it has to be in the medical field or at least Tech. My final year project was in the pharmaceutical industry and how it relates to Law, to show you my seriousness.
bemeruca: If she wants to combine it should could have said cyber law not cyber security. You cannot combine the two by learning cybersecurity and you studied law. That's not how things work.
GRC is an area in Cybersecurity. It comes with studying Cybersecurity. It's Cybersecurity. A GRC specialist is into Cybersecurity. The field is very big that it has technical and non-technical areas and they are all grouped under cybersecurity. There are Lawyers combining the two. You don't even know what cyber law is because it's quite distinct from cybersecurity and cannot be used interchangeably. You don't even know how things work. Loud mouthed empty barrel.
Mtchew. "cyber law" yani ozuor. People switch to tech without going to study it in the University. Mumu.
