Victimhood? That's what you call provably having the "guns" of the DOJ turned straight at you & weaponized? That's what you call provably having outlets such as Facebook/Twitter et al consoring speech at the behest of the Biden White House? That's what you call provably having businesses such as The Daily Wire's web traffic plummet & other business bankrupted because the State Department was actively using & engaging with tech designed to censor businesses with conservative-leaning opinions?

Yes I do remember VERY WELL all of that.

Regarding your stolen land canard, are you going to also make such a claim against the Indians who for centuries were "stealing" the land of other Indian tribes or does this only apply to others:rolleyes:
Is this another victim card? Cuz my bingo card's filling out faster than I could keep up.
 
I'm not the one who promised to bring down the grocery prices on day one with a sharpie. Keep the politicians accountable no matter whose side you're on instead of making excuses for their egregious behavior.
You do know that over 100 millions chickens were euthanized due to bird flu before he took office right?

Do you only eat eggs?

A straw man argument regarding a single food is hardly grounds for calling the lack of an immediate drop of food prices. “egregious behavior”.

Orders were signed day one to put the process in motion to begin the price reductions starting with energy.

And not sure if you understand how ordering stock for a grocery store works but there’s kind of a process involved of producing food, shipping it , then getting it on the shelves before you buy it. The eggs on the shelf today were ordered many weeks ago.
 
Why don't you ask the clown with a sharpie to bring the prices down then? He did promise to do that on day one.
Instead he's more occupied with pissing off Canadians, renaming the gulf and buying Greenland since the 20th.
Don't make excuses for broken promises. Hold them accountable.
What about ending wars, bringing home hostages and cutting billions in wasteful spending?

And “pissing off canadians”? Really? Cry me a freaking river with that one. You must be Canadian! 😂😂🤣
 
It’s mind blowing that an agency is created to find this stuff, then they start announcing what they’ve found, and people just say “where’s the proof?” Do you have proof that they’re lying? If there is any possibility this stuff is true, we should be concerned. We aren’t even a month in.
Then create an agency with private citizens who doesn't have anything to gain and make everything transparent. Not a billionaire with racist interns who's got everything to gain by outright eliminating whole departments.
CFPB for instance. The whole purpose of it is to look after and protect everyday citizens like you and me against greedy corporations like the banks. The nazi billionaire wants to get rid of it and wants to throw elected officials in prison. What kind of a bizarro world are we living in where that makes sense?

He's done zilch to bring the prices of groceries down. His whole campaign was that he's the only one to bring the prices down and on day one. All we'd seen was pettiness and vindictiveness.

Wake me up when America is great again. Four years in power and we still ain't great yet. Winners show results while losers make excuses asking for 4 more years.

Only you'd think calling someone a Canadian an insult while the rest of the world is laughing at us.
 
You should probably look up actual historical authoritarianism before you make any comments. Real authoritarianism is saying things like “put this mask on or else!”
How can anyone believe stuff like this?

Put on this seatbelt or else.
Don't speed or else.
Put on clothes in public or else.
Don't kill people or else.

Having rules in society isn't authoritarianism. Authoritarianism is concentrating power in a single executive.

45/47 certainly has the power under federal law to change the names of Denali and the Gulf of Mexico under federal law. But, as with most things that this administration does, the problem lies in the why it's done rather than whether it can be done. It's nothing more than an ego play by a man who wants to leave his mark on the world.
 
It was bad enough when Google did it (albeit defaulting to the original elsewhere as the main name), but I guess it wasn't enough for Cook to donate $1mil to the Inauguration — he had to show his fealty to Punkin' Head elsewhere.
Meanwhile, I live for the chance that Mexico might rename the Gulf of California (unlike the much bigger Gulf, entirely within their borders) to either the 'F*ck Trump Sea' or perhaps' Stormy Daniels Bay'.
 
On the basis I am actually an expert in the domain of one of the things that they have found "proof" on and it is being described in the same terminology as a LSD tripping seer staring into monkey faeces spread on a wall and trying to extract meaning from it.

The biggest problem is that most people have literally no knowledge whatsoever or critical thinking ability or even the ability to define anything as arbitrary as proof of anything. Yet they take the abstract concept of stating that "we have proof" over what the definition of the proof is.

It is about as valid as me saying "I have proof the moon is made of chocolate"

They have to prove that they have proof with citable evidence and start legal proceedings. Instead we have arbitrary undocumented statement proof and circumvention of the courts.

If that is acceptable in any society, good luck and enjoy the gulag.

One thing this does show is that America needs to fund the Department of Education not close it down.
I find it hard to believe that what they have found is just as credible as you saying the moon is made of chocolate.

This is what we voted for, and it’s what is happening. Can’t wait for them to start looking into military waste. (Not that I don’t support a strong, large military). I’m sure the waste is vomit inducing.

I’m not opposed to it not being musk. But I am in favor of the department, in general.
 
This is why I hate politics... This guy is an example of the MAGA cult... god forbid you say anything negative or criticize anything they do..... they immediately flip out and just fly off the handle. It's really sad
Consequences of fascist politicians not being accountable is what you’re going to see for the next 4 years. And then the gov changes and you’d start hearing words for looking at the camera differently.
Making excuses only enables bad behavior.

Welp the leaving a mark thing sure is working, you’re here pissed off about it all!

The best and worst presidents in our history have left strong marks on the world. History will be the ultimate judge!
 
Google is free, but here - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constitutional_crisis - I even bolded the most relevant parts for you:





It doesn't matter if you think what the current administration is doing is a good thing or not. It doesn't even matter if the actions they're taking are actually positive or not. Several of Trump's executive orders and actions are in direct violation of the Constitution.

For example, it does not matter what some senator intended for the 14th amendment to apply to - it is written in stone in the Constitution. The President does not decide this interpretation, but the Supreme Court, which has already established several times what the interpretation should be. If you don't think birthright citizenship should be a thing, then you do what every single administration has done in history when they wanted to change the Constitution: by following the process the founding fathers established to amend the constitution.

You cannot just choose, as President, to override the constitution and its amendments, even if you think or know it is a positive thing. Doing so just makes having a constitution pointless and irrelevant.

You can put your little laughing emoji or put a disagree emoji all you want, but you should be concerned if a President is signing EOs that go against the plain English in the Constitution and its Amendments.

Caring about this....shouldn't be political. You should be concerned whether you're redder than Republican Texas or as blue as the ocean in California like....really?
First I applaud your commitment to the Constitution as it was written, and allowing me to own as many firearms as I like, and and any type. Pistol braced, semi automatic, automatic, 10 round, 30 round, 100 round magazines, the options are practically endless. Amen brother.

Second, Google is not "free." There are many costs to using the service; brain rot, dumbification, and privacy are a few costs of using the service.

I use the laughing emoji in response to the latest 6 week news cycle catch phrase, "CoNsTiTuTiOnAl CRiSiS 🤪." I laugh at the liberal hivemind, that has no understanding what the 14th amendment is, or how it came to be. I don't know how old you are, but even in the earliest days of the department of education, it has always been taught as one of many outcomes of the Civil War. Where ironically, democrats were forced to recognize slaves and their children as citizens of the United States.

Just as you cannot steal millions of dollars, and give it to your children and expect them to be able to keep that money. You cannot enter a country illegally, have a baby and expect to gain the benefits of becoming a U.S. citizen. To expect otherwise is insane. Otherwise literally every person in the world can become a U.S. citizen (Which by the way, if this is such a horrible place to be, why are people coming from around the world just so they can have a baby here?)

Law already exists. No Constitutional Convention is needed.

So now that we established rectifing the last 4 years of illegal immigration is not "a CoNsTiTuTiOnAl CRiSiS 🤪" please give an example of one that you think we are in. 😁

We already have the department. It's the Government Accountability Office (GAO). They identified around $240 billion in government waste in 2022. Mainly through over payments to vendors and other organizations.

As opposed to DOGE that mainly seems to be identifying funding that they have policy disagreements with so far.
 
From the UK, fragile masculinity is the police coming to your home for a chat because someone said some mean tweets online - shrugs -
Not to mention things have gotten so bad, Idris Elba is proposing pointed kitchen knives be removed from homes. 😄
Talk about fragile masculinity.

 
Earlier today I found out that while the name is updated in google maps, that's only for views from within US. If you use their map service from Mexico, it will say "Gulf of Mexico". If used from UK, it says "Gulf of Mexico (America)".

They never can! It’s always about whatever the most emotional talking point is with virtually zero logic to back it up. It’s just personal attacks and emotion. But you know what…in private , so many on the left actually agree with some things they say they hate. Like being against walls for our country when they live in gated communities or being pro immigration but then whining when immigrants show up at their door step. What they say vs their actions are often very different.

It’s very evident the vast majority are fed up with the hypocrisy especially now that it’s hitting every single American HARD in the wallet. When you start messing with people’s money the real action happens!

Thats because Google are bunch of leftists. They label Crimean peninsula as part of Russia but only in Russia (should be Ukraine all over the globe and nothing else!). Same with some contested areas that were originally part of India, in China those are part of China even considering Google services are banned there. They doing it to suit every political agenda in every country, pathetic approach.

On Apple Maps it is Gulf of America from any part of the world, which is nice

Vast majority? By what metric? Every modern Democratic president (since JFK) has won by a larger margin than 45/47. Only Nixon, GW Bush and 45 were lower.

They’ve since changed it to accuracy, but if you searched “Hong Kong” before on Google, it literally said that Hong Kong was founded in 1997. Even Ray Charles can see that isn’t accurate. As you said, a pathetic approach by Google to please a country.
