Oh I agree, I’m just explaining my rationale to the other poster. Even when I posted the original image, I knew I’d end up with a comment like that.

Wasn’t sure where to post it. Can’t go in politics because it’s s photo, i don’t think pics wants it since it’s political. So politicalmemes it is.
I know he’ll just ignore it anyway, I’m just referring to the fact that he has veto power to override a resolution on cancelling tariffs at all. Although I’d imagine it’s really that congress is just ceding the power in the first place, but having legislation about tariffs being something that can be vetoed seems like a dumb idea.
However, House Republicans have passed new rules that allow leaders to prevent such resolutions from getting a vote in that chamber, and Trump could veto the legislation even if it did clear Congress.
Ignoring the issue of the House being unwilling to pass it, how can the President veto a resolution on tariffs when that is a duty of congress and not the executive? He shouldn’t be able to impose them in the first place, but it’s legal for him to block their cancellation? Amazed this country lasted as long as it has.
Can we appeal the sentencing (or absolute lack of)?
Has to put out a retraction to a briefing that starts with ‘It is undisputed…’ 🤦♂️
It’s because they weren’t seen as being brutal enough. Things are about to get even worse.
It isn’t even an iq test, it’s a cognitive test. For dementia and stroke patients. Questions are things like ‘place the numbers where they go on an analog clock.’
The fact of the matter is Bernie has always been weak on race issues. He botched the BLM protests in 2016 and has never had sufficient outreach to the Black community. I don’t think he’s a bigot at all, but he doesn’t seem to understand that there is more than class war. To dismiss the concerns of the Black community in America as being just part of a larger class war is incredibly insensitive. All classes of white people have marginalized POC in this country repeatedly throughout its history.
I love Bernie, but this is a major flaw of his. In 2016 it was somewhat understandable as he is from Vermont and was kinda blindsided by everything, but he still has not progressed on this issue and I don’t think either he or enough of his supporters get how off-putting it is to these communities.
The election is one year away and over six months until registration for the primary ends. There is zero reason to stick with someone that has this many red flags. If he manages to win the primary, he will all but guarantee another Collins victory, because its real easy to write attack ads against this guy.
You know how Bernicrats always get smeared as being low key bigots? This doesn’t help with that image. I have seen multiple POC and jewish people on bluesky lamenting the fact that Bernie’s supporters are known for purity tests, but the cis-white male with a nazi tattoo gets a pass. That’s the image that is being conveyed to the public at large. There’s just no way to come back from having a nazi tattoo when running as a democrat in this day and age. And ‘I got it covered up once everyone found out’ is not an answer that is going to fly for the majority of people out there.
This isn’t the DNC going against him, Ken Martin supports him, Bernie still endorses him, he was all over CNN like a month ago as the exciting outsider oysterman who tells it like it is. And then it came out he has a nazi tattoo. So much of the general public turned on him. Some reporter said that when polling dem senators about it, they all said the tattoo wasn’t an issue, and still think he’s good for engagement. It isn’t them going against him, and most news articles are still going soft on him, and using his phrasing to describe it. But the general public hears nazi tattoo and, rightfully, wants nothing to do with him.
This is to ensure that we won’t. Only the enforcers in this govt are being paid right now.

I don’t think that was the intended message, just that they are all going about their day. Meanwhile, he is overjoyed at the prospect of headed i to work for the city.
