I need people to understand how difficult it is to get an NIH grant. You spend months writing a proposal, following strict guidelines that include a detailed multiyear budget, bios of everyone on your team, plans for participant safety & ethical conduct. Then you send it off -1/n
So, Trump created a problem that DID NOT EXIST, instantly lost, gave up everything he was trying to negotiate, looked like a weak dickhead to the rest of the world, and damaged diplomatic relations with an ally while boosting Chinese soft power in South America. 5/
The current birthright EO will fail at SCOTUS. They have terrible attorneys.
BUT Alito Thomas Roberts et al. can then opine "but if you had made this argument instead..." It will allow SCOTUS legal scholars to do the Govt's homework. Govt can draft a new EO that would 5-4 pass.
Blue states. He's going after Blue states. Bring the economy down in Blue states. He thinks that will break them. Make them beg him for monetary aid, so he can put conditions on them, force them to bend the knee, like he's trying to do with the fires in California.

Probably a Chinese ball.
@cindybear23309@CrazyVibes_1@zhenryaz Mitch McConnell?? You're talking about Mitch fucking McConnell as not being a Republican??? Are you serious. Or maybe - the President you elected has taken over your party and turned it into something else.
I really wish people who both loved Biden & those who hated him from the left could understand that many of us had significant criticisms of him but knew Trump was only going to make things worse and we could vote for someone & criticize them at the same time.
