@DICEY63@mtaibbi I don't know but this does sound like something Trump would do and has done, and that's his own fault. You can shoot the messenger all you want, but that's MAGA for you. They have BECOME everything they attacked the left for during Trump 1.0.
@DICEY63@mtaibbi He also called it "unethical." If you were paying attention at all during Biden's Presidency, Taibbi testified at a Congressional hearing about free speech and was lawfared by the administration for doing so. Google is free. Use it.
@FaithfulThomad @mtaibbi That's a false dichotomy. When Trump is criticized, the MAGA immediately pivot to "but Biden..." TWO THINGS CAN BE TRUE AT ONCE people! Biden sucked. Trump sucks slightly less.
@theblaze Whatever you think of the SAVE Act, or of Jon Cornyn, he IS RIGHT in that quote. It doesn't have the votes, and Trump cannot dictate it be passed, we have co-equal branches of government.
@DragonSword778@WhiteHouse@KingMark888 Then you're going to lose it all! Better chance to find pink horse in my living room in the next 5 minutes than this version of getting through the Senate. Put the transgender stuff in a different bill, it doesn't belong in here and that's what's holding it up.
@WhiteHouse 84% of Americans (including me) support requiring Voter ID. That is NOT the same as saying that 84% of Americans want the SAVE Act. There's a sleight of hand going on here. Voter ID already is in the law, but mail in balloting and transgender bans are more controversial.
@Milajoy I don't think it matters much. Hilton will be one of the top two. If there were a chance of a R vs. R in the general I'd want Chad to stay in, but I don't really care at this point.
@Blueverse01 Before the Iran War I would have said 5. Tax cuts passed and border secure but then there's the tariffs bringing prices back up so that balanced. But The more this drags on, not just gas prices but this "revenge tour" in the GOP... I would never say 1, but he's 4, headed for 3
@SunshineDaisy@Blueverse01@CaAmericanLady I can only conclude that Trump is deliberately trying to destroy the Republican Party and doing everything he can to ensure a Democrat Congress in 2027. In fact, Democrats should be giving him praise for handing them the midterm election on a silver platter.
@SunshineDaisy@Blueverse01@CaAmericanLady Yeah in fairness I wrote that 2 months ago when things looked different. I don't think he's the monster that the left portrays but I just don't understand the war, tariffs, fighting with "disloyal" members of his own party... I voted for him but I have to call balls and strikes.
@MustangMan_TX EVERYONE regardless of political persuasion should be chilled at the idea that a President can pick an AG for the purpose of prosecuting his political enemies. 3rd world banana republics do that. Same people accusing Biden admin of 2-tier justice are totally fine with this?!
@MustangMan_TX OMG.... the last thing we need is more revenge prosecutions. Dammit it was wrong when Alvin Bragg and Letitia James did it to Trump and it's wrong now. Obama was a horrible POTUS but what does this do to improve our lives??
@WHLeavitt If it could be done legally with the stroke of a pen, sure. But these things are always complicated. I saw in one poll that like 80% of Americans favored voter ID, but only 60% supported the SAVE Act. Devil is always in the details. Get Dems on board instead of badmouthing GOPs
