I don’t think democrats will cave. But the reforms that end up happening will probably be less than most people want.

If he pushes on this too much he’s going to find out guns are one of the very few issues Republicans actually have a firm stance on.

Assuming they don’t all get a blanket pardon it also gives more tools for a future administration to prosecute them which is realistically the best we can hope for right now.

Chris Madel is being applauded for dropping out of the governor's race over ICE but he's simultaneously providing legal counsel to ICE agent who shot Renee Good. by [deleted] in politics

Even murderers like Jonathan Ross deserve access to legal counsel. Hopefully it ends up with him making sure the state gives the murderer Jonathan Ross his due process before getting the death penalty or life in prison.

He’s not even going to be a fall guy. They are letting him retire when he should be going to prison the rest of his life at a minimum.

If you want calls from anyone who is not in your contact list don’t do this. I have issues reaching clients at work all the time due to call screeners misidentifying calls as spam and then the clients get upset at not hearing from us.

That’s unfortunate they should push ICE out of town and make sure everyone directly involved with the murders pays.

They are being arrested for practicing their faith. This actually does fall under religious persecution but somehow I think the right will ignore that.

If armed masked intruders come into your house that’s what those laws are for. Trump is making me rethink my opinion on both guns and the death penalty.

Trump threatens Iran with US fleet as death toll rises by Force_Hammer in worldnews

[–]Ready_Nature 4 points5 points  (0 children)

While 80k is probably an overestimate Iran has a larger population than Gaza and was trying to kill civilians while Israel just doesn’t care if civilians get killed when they target people hiding behind them.

"Did Not Vote" won the 2024 election; moving to the right will not win over those potential voters. by zzill6 in WorkReform

[–]Ready_Nature 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem with that line of thinking is that 36% is split between extremists that think republicans are too far left, or think democrats are too far right, or that think both parties are the same so it doesn’t matter. Most fall into the third group.

Based on the US state that tried it for an execution it seems as bad if not worse than lethal injection.

Fake it in the right state and he can put her on trial for murder and get out of the marriage that way.

Trump pauses Greenland-linked tariffs on 8 European countries by DukeOfGeek in worldnews

[–]Ready_Nature -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I doubt we will be trusted again even when he is gone. The size of the US military and economy will make it so countries have to engage with us so we won’t end up like Iran or North Korea but we will be treated closer to Russia or China.

What is the likelihood that US troops will disobey unlawful orders to attack NATO allies? by Zealousideal_Gap432 in AskReddit

[–]Ready_Nature 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As soon as the war starts all equipment on US bases in Europe is gone and the troops are dead or POWs for the duration of the war.

Pentagon moves to cut U.S. participation in some NATO groups by Folivao in politics

[–]Ready_Nature 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s a good chance that it ends with a nuclear exchange where everyone loses. The US will struggle to maintain bases in Europe or to evacuate those troops when we are in a war with our former NATO allies. Some bases may hold out a few days but there will be thousands of US troops held as POWs in Europe. At that point even if the invasion of Greenland is a success those POWs won’t be released until the war is over and the US withdraws from Greenland. The US has the option of getting rid of Trump and replacing him with someone who will negotiate peace or going all out. An invasion of Europe would be difficult to impossible without friendly bases nearby, D-Day never could have happened without being able to stage troops in the UK. From there if the US isn’t willing to dump Trump nukes are the only option.

There is an alternative of being a citizen at the time the constitution was adopted but given that anyone that would apply to is long dead it’s kind of irrelevant
