I mean, if the other two branches of government refuse to utilize their powers to check him, then he may as well be telling the truth here.
It isn't true, but we live in a post-truth reality now where saying something often and loudly is what makes it true.
I use some of these sometimes. My favorites are discombobulated (because of the meme) and lollygagging (idk, it just sounds funny and I know it best from a line of guard dialog in Skyrim and I use that same tone of voice with my dog when she's sniffing one spot for too long).
I just showed this list to my Asian wife and she described it as "white people deep magics" 😂
2/3rds of my income goes just to paying rent/utilities at this point. I do have some money taken out of my check for retirement because I would be foolish not to, but at this rate it looks like retirement might not be in the cards for my generation at all. Even with the few extra bucks at the end of the pay period, it wouldn't amount to much.
Every time I get a pay increase, it seems like the cost of living is right there on my heels, clawing back any significant gains I might have enjoyed.
How could it be described as anything other than caving? According to the leaked preliminary details, all he did was just secured Obama's deal, but worse since at least Obama carved out provisions to ensure that inspections were being done to verify that Iran was not building a nuclear program. What we are getting is a pinky promise, leaving the door open to future bombings when the schizo USA decides to play world police again.
I'm also not convinced Charlie Brown has finally kicked the football here. Deal isn't final until the ink is dry, and Pakistan will likely call out Israel for continuing to bomb Lebanon in violation of the ceasefire agreement.
For real, there is a line that demarcates my life into two distinct segments- before CPAP and after CPAP. It's no joke when I describe it as a life changing event. If you're thinking about getting checked out for it, just do it. You won't regret it even if you do end up having to use the machine.
I wish people would press further on these answers. More mature how? In what way has Trump performed better now compared to his first term? Please answer with specific examples and as much detail as possible.
I hate that journalists are so willing to let people say dumb shit and then never hold their feet to the flame.
I've been waiting 20+ years for Republicans to wake up. They will never wake up. So many uncrossable lines have been crossed and yet they still maintain their momentum and people fall over themselves to vote for them in elections.
The problem is twofold:
Most people are chronically unaware or ignorant of who represents them. Even terminally online political junkies often don't do any research into the candidates they vote for, and they don't follow up on whether or not their campaign promises were fulfilled. They lock in and vote R all the way down the ballot. To be completely fair™ and balanced™ - Democrats are also guilty of this and will happily vote for the D all the way down the ballot which is how we end up with progressive candidates running 3rd party in primaries losing to DINO incumbents.
There is too much disconnect between which parties in government are responsible for which policies. Many people believe the president has far more power than they actually do. In reality, outside of executive orders and appointing SCOTUS judges, the largest political impact a president has is to be a veto on legs. Congress are the ones who truly hold the power, but because you are represented by one U.S. house representative for your district and two senators for your state, it's easy for people to think that their vote for those seats, win or lose, has little impact in shaping national policy. But even when their party has a majority (albeit slim), Republicans rarely draft any kind of legislation that is aimed to help their constituents or fulfill their campaign promises. People never check their reps voting records to see that they barely show up for their jobs, and that when they do, it's usually to cast a deciding vote against something that would help their constituents tremendously if passed. It all circles back around to people not bothering to do research or follow up with their votes in any way.
Voting to a lot of people is a team sport, and if their team is winning then all is right with the world. The bad things are happening because the others caused it, or are preventing it from being fixed. It can never be because they made a bad decision and voted in someone terrible into office. It's always someone else's fault. If good things are happening, it's because they made the right decision all along and they are succeeding in spite of opposition - no need to even bother checking if the guy who represents you voted in favor of the good thing or not!
