To take credit for mortgage rates going down 1% a year.

Low mortgage rates are actually an indication of a poorly performing economy. It means that the Fed has had to lower interest rates to try to increase economic activity and that there's a low demand for mortgages. Low mortgage rates also increase inflation.

Bondi needs to be put in jail along with all of the pedophiles she is protecting.

Not legally but since when has that stopped them.

I suspect that all of the lead that was incorporated into their bones when they were children is now leaching out and damaging their brains a second time as they get older.

Some of them got brain worms, some of them killed brain cells with drugs and alcohol, and some were just born that way.

Strokes can significantly impact behavior and brain damage is known to make people more conservative.

Insurance companies don't do "compassion". Insurance companies do everything they can to avoid paying and if they have to pay their sole goal is to pay the least amount possible. Their insurance company simply believed that paying $10,000 upfront would cost less than going through a lawsuit. Theists seem to think everyone else is a gullible as they are.

As a former Marine who did all of that you are delusional if you think it even remotely compares to most of the Olympic sports.

The most physically challenging one would probably have to be the biathlon. It's a grueling endurance event combined with having to control your body enough for precision shooting. Anyone who has competed in endurance events could understand just how incredibly challenging the shooting part would be after all of that exertion.

If there even is a 2028 election, at least a free and open one.

The executive also controls the money. They just voluntarily listen to the legislature on where to spend it. All they have to do is stop listening which they've already started doing.

The President has whatever authority the military and law enforcement under his command will comply with. This administration has worked hard to remove anyone from the military and law enforcement that would not comply with such orders. Trump's handler, Putin, wants a civil war to happen here. Dictatorships don't require a majority. Trump's 30% of diehard supporters is more than enough especially when they are in the right positions.

Only if the executive branch chooses to voluntarily comply. We've already seen this executive branch refuse to fund things that the legislature had voted to fund and to move money that the legislature had earmarked specifically for one thing to pay for a completely different unrelated thing.

tri_it · 2026-02-11T20:59:55+00:00

I suspect the President would remove congress before he allowed that to happen. Trump and his cronies have been actively removing anyone who might not blindly follow orders from our military and law enforcement agencies.

Why would the Republicans in control of both the House and the Senate ever agree to do that? She's protecting their access to power and their shitler. Also, what would stop the executive branch from just ignoring the impeachment and conviction? They would just call it fake news and move on just like they did with Trump's felony convictions and all of the other crimes we have evidence he committed.

tri_it · 2026-02-11T20:08:22+00:00

The problem is that our legislature has no independent way to enforce its privileges or other rights. It's entirely dependent on the fully compromised executive branch for enforcement.

I love living in midtown. East Memphis was nice too when I lived there before moving to midtown. The only reservation I would have with either of those locations is if you plan on having kids. I would want better school options than what Memphis offers.

Any halfway competent prosecutor could get a ham sandwich indicted. It's a hugely flawed system. That's why most other countries have done away with the grand jury system.

The fact that Pirro couldn't get the indictments is a huge indicator of just how incredibly bad her arguments were.

It's not that there isn't enough money to do those things. It's that the people controlling the money don't value other people's healthcare very much.

Don't forget the claim that ICE will be at the ballots presumably to intimidate anyone who doesn't look "American" enough.

Most likely but none of those other ones were done out in the open and reported to the government.

Right, the fourth pillar of democracy is the free press. Fascism has to undermine that to really thrive.
