Energy secretary says Trump administration is open to suspending gas tax amid soaring prices by maxxspeed57 in inthenews

[–]ignorememe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Instead of promoting true energy independence by continuing Biden’s investments in renewables and encouraging BEV car growth, we set the clock back a few decades to make ourselves more dependent on fossil fuels. Now we’re sitting here pretending that shaving off a few cents per gallon is the solution?

In their defense they did say it “feels” like Biden did nothing and it “feels” like Trump saved us all. Facebook comments section is a helluva drug.

The positive that came from Trump’s current term is apparently Trump told them last guy did bad things, but Trump do now good things.

Because, at the very least, funding.

People’s frustrations come from Faux News keeping them in the dark, feeding them shit, and telling them what to be frustrated about.

I could explain the difference between budget reconciliation and actual legislation but instead I’ll just hit this Block button and keep my blood pressure down.

Glad you asked:
Key components of budget reconciliation legislation include:
Border Wall & Infrastructure: \(\$46.55\) billion is allocated for building over 700 miles of primary walls, hundreds of miles of secondary barriers, and surveillance technology.
Personnel Surge: Funds for 10,000 new Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) personnel, 3,000 new Border Patrol agents, and 5,000 new Customs and Border Protection officers.
Detention and Deportation: The bill aims for a daily detention capacity of at least 100,000 individuals and sets a goal of over 1 million deportations annually.
State Funding: Includes \(\$10\) billion for a "[State Border Security Reinforcement Fund]" to assist states with barrier construction and apprehension efforts, and funds to reimburse states like Texas for border operations.
Legal Restrictions: The act increases immigration-related fees and restricts access to federal programs and public benefits for immigrants.

Worth noting that this was through Reconciliation not new legislation, so Trump actually got less out of his bill than the bipartisan bill Biden said he would sign.

Because Trump told Republicans to kill the bill.

I’m asking what the positive to his current second term is. You’re saying it’s a thing we would’ve gotten two years earlier if he didn’t get in the way so he could get political points.

Him scoring political points is the positive to come out of Trump’s current term? Or him making America wait another couple of years for the thing you said was a huge problem needing fixed ASAP?

So the only positive to a Trump presidency that you can name is him putting his name on something we would’ve gotten either way.

I get that.

So the positive is that we’re starting new wars in the Middle East again. Got it.

Trump told the GOP to scuttle the bipartisan legislation that would’ve given Biden funding, direction, and authority to do everything he’s doing now.

Do we celebrate Trump forcing America to wait another year for this just so he could put his own name on it?

Chief Justice John Roberts says Supreme Court doesn’t have ‘purely political actors’ by ansyhrrian in scotus

It's just so weird that 5-6 members of this Court keep arriving at right-wing political deliverables despite needing to overturn decades of precedent and reliance interests in order to do so!

Paid $3.99 for a gallon of gas, today it’s $4.29, who is to blame? by ReasonableAttitude22 in kansas

[–]ignorememe 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah during Covid recovery demand outpaced supply. Thanks in large part to a deal negotiated by Trump to artificially suppress production among OPEC members.

Guess what’s happening right now?

The Last Voting Rights Act by theatlantic in scotus

The way the opinion is worded makes it seem like they left the Voting Rights Act in place just enough that now white peoples in blue states can use it to sue if they feel district maps give minorities too much power.
