The actual title of this article is: Trump’s mental decline is undeniable — so what now?
Your editorialised headline, @cm0002@lemmy.world, is much less engaging. If you want to give a different headline than the actual one, maybe make it: Dementia: The spirit of Biden lives on at the White House. As it stands, your title makes it seem like the article is going to be about some plucky Biden term bureaucrats are putting up the "good fight", which I'm not sure anybody would actually believe. I almost didn't click on your post because I found it a stupid premise. Imagine my surprise when it was actually about the clear signs of dementia Trump is putting out.
I can't stand this kind of comment. You're mad that people don't see things as your do but then also complain that it wouldn't matter anyway.
If you think it doesn't matter, shut up and let the people trying keep on keeping on. It definitely won't change by spreading your shitty attitude
Do you know how to use the internet?
From Wikipedia's article on individual taxpayer identification number:
The ITIN program was created on July 1, 1996 for the purpose of allowing tax return filing by individuals without a Social Security Number (SSN). Receiving an ITIN does not in itself confer the right to work and receive income in the United States.[3] ITINs are also used by real estate brokers to facilitate mortgages for unauthorized aliens.[4] In addition to use by unauthorized aliens, ITINs are used by foreign investors in United States real estate. Such investors need ITINs in order to file federal and state tax returns to report rental income.
In 2006, 1.4 million people used ITINs when filing tax returns. Federal tax law generally prohibits the IRS from sharing data with other government agencies, including the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), assuring unauthorized aliens[5] that the tax information will be confidential and generally will not be used to initiate removal procedures.[6][7]
Now, before you ask another incredibly easy to answer question, please learn to use a search engine. I'm done doing primary school lesson stuff for you.
You remove it from their paychecks under what ###?
Their individual taxpayer identification number, or ITIN. If you had read the full reply I gave you above, you'd see this:
If you are a US citizen, you can use your Social Security number (SSN) to file your income taxes. Immigrants who do not have a valid visa or other proof of legal status are not eligible for an SSN. Instead, these workers can apply through the IRS for an individual taxpayer identification number, or ITIN, to file their taxes. As of January 2021, there were an estimated 5.4 million active ITINs.
Don't be intentionally stupid. It's done via the exact same mechanism that your taxes get paid when you get your paycheck, associated with their ITIN instead of a SSN. Payroll systems are automated; virtually no employer handles payroll themselves, just like virtually no website handles credit card transactions themselves.
This is a very google-able question. From the Tax Policy Center:
Yes, Undocumented Immigrants Pay Taxes—and Receive Few Tax Benefits
An estimated 11 million immigrants live in the US without authorization. Contrary to some claims, they pay a considerable amount in taxes. Some estimates suggest undocumented immigrants paid nearly $100 billion in federal, state, and local taxes in 2022.
Like all US citizens, undocumented immigrants must pay taxes
Immigrants of any legal status are required to pay the same taxes as US citizens. Most have income and payroll taxes deducted from their wages. If they purchase a home, or any goods and services, they pay state and local property taxes or sales taxes like others in their community.
US citizens and undocumented immigrants interact differently with the federal tax system in the forms of identification they use to file their taxes each year.

Not really. In that metaphor it's more like, "I chose the McDonald's down at the corner to get my Big Mac instead of the one across town."
I don't believe you're making that argument in good faith. Every one of his nominees have been ridiculous caricatures of stereotypical MAGA car salesman
One thing they could do is stop voting with republicans to confirm Trump's appointees. Have you seen. how well the Republicans obstruct? They can get everybody in their rank and file out on network TV to call for banning a book by title while the democrats can't even get their best faces on TV to call what's happening with NY's mayor blatant quid pro quo corruption
EDIT: Trump energy chief says there are upsides to ecological collapse
