7) Sortition for Senators followed by vote: re-elect, thanks but we'll try sortition again, ostracism - total seizure of assets and expulsion from the country.

I may not have the order right but that's a good start.

I think you underestimate how ready they are to blindly follow and justify whereever Trump leads. They will readily abandon Japan and the RoK as well and congratulate themselves for doing so. It’s a cult, with just different degrees of participation. 33rd level suckups get Cabinet positions or $$$

Humans will do almost anything to protect their beliefs. What they believe is often more important to them than being right or the truth or what’s good for them.

They might, but the House can refuse. They might, but the House could vote for something else and it dies in 'reconciliation.' They might, but Trump vetoes it. Anything less than 'Healthcare first' is just surrender under a fig leaf.

Rubio has already sold himself to Trump. He's riding in the cart till it crashes and he can say whatever he wants but he's not steering nor controlling the accelerator nor brakes.

Every. Single. One. of Trump's appointees should be considered disqualified for public office the rest of their lives.

Even better that she didn't name him, but he immediately recognized himself . . .

If your sports team went 17-31 for the season and the headline was, "Wins nationwide" you'd still want the manager/head coach fired.

There are lots of public toilets that could memorialize him, if he'd hurry it up.

By giving him a Trillion he can buy a lot of Teslas. He’ll be a super-consumer. Those million people making $1 million might buy other cars. Genius!

Good to see the Russians spending their remaining money and manpower wisely (sarcasm for those who don't get it).

What is that saying, 'never interrupt an enemy when they are making a mistake?' More nuclear cruisers please.

Just when I was getting used to the LPD-17 class, they get uglier.

On a serious note, is this the 'Pivot to the Pacific' or the
'Keep the Epstein files out of the news' strategy?

Ask all of Trump's ex-wives how the relationships evolved.

Making alliances transactional eventually leads to not having them.

And Don Jr. won't even just buy them from UKR with a "Made in Florida (big print, "Florida", small print, "Ukraine") and mark them up 500%. No, he have someone make some shitty ones with even larger cost overruns than just importing them, make about 1,000, and then say he needs another billion USD.

12% of air traffic is private jets. Let's start by shutting down the billionaires and private jets.

One more time for those in the back, Trump will do anything to protect the Epstein files and spends money on a ballroom. He doesn't care about your health care, your ability to eat, have a job, etc.

I'm not defending it per se, but walls also channel, direct and delay. The ground on either side of the wall looks pretty steep. The reasoning may be that it does enough to deter, slow or prevent some from using that path. Unfortunately, that's likely true for some wildlife as well.

I was confused by your thread. I sensed your position but the ending especially confused me.

If all the ‘growth’ goes to the billionaire, what’s the risk? Besides, raising taxes on billionaires isn’t raising taxes on the majority.

I thought Duffel Blog was into satire, now they are just reporting the news.

TACO‘s strategic philosopher.

Later it will be “Japan/RoK/AUS/NZ didn’t do enough so we’ll nuke it on the way out”
