And with the ACA issue, as with every other issue under Mike Johnson, the House returns from many more days off to do a mad frantic scramble to get something done before 22 million people get screwed in 30 days, with Trump constantly posting and saying different things about it.

One of the things that has happened due to the Roberts Court’s feckless, Illogical and corrupt presidential immunity ruling is that many of his enablers and sycophants have failed to realize that just because he has immunity for illegal acts (“a dog’s obeyed in office“ & worse than dogs”) they don’t

Everyone is getting upset about the data centers. They pollute a lot and use a lot of energy and will eventually be very ugly/huge vacant buildings. And I understand being mad about that. Until you consider the state of the lazer tag industry at this moment, and how much help that sector needs.

The president is a political cartoon of corruption come to life, a gaudy grifter who is selling off pardons and lining his pockets, building a golden ballroom and protecting his fellow sex predator elites, all the while regular Americans are suffering and struggling to make ends meet.

I’ve never been a “defund the police” type of guy. I believe that police are necessary, despite their flaws.
But ICE is different. I am 100% behind ending their existence and prosecuting every single one of them.
ICE must go. End of discussion.
