Don't blame me, I voted for the other guy. (Politics General)

@Zincy
 
WTF?! Can he actually do that? That sounds egregiously illegal to me.

@Ebalosus  
“Illegal” has never stopped him or his party.

@Ebalosus
 
The limits on executive action are vague, as few presidents have really pushed their power like Trump. Honestly, I’m not entirely sure.

@Zincy  
Trump is Nixon mixed with Bush.
 
Perfectly describes the kind of chaos he brings.

Every time Trump opens that grease-trap he calls a mouth this is all I hear in my head.
 

@CaptainXtra  
Nixon 100% yes, bush no. Part of him is just LOL random. He has moderate, hardliner and WTF that doesn’t make since tendencies on top of various kneejerk reactions. Hard to pin him with a lot of past presidents other than Nixon and to a somewhat lesser extent Andrew Jackson.

@Zincy  
Great, now Dan Andrews will do that in the 2022 election…

@Metro_Offset  
The ones possesing any human decency would have. Nothing happening in the West today approaches the echo of a shadow of those monstrous crimes.

@Ebalosus  
Ha Illegal.

@Meanlucario  
That’s why Capitalism needs to regulated, but our Politicians will continue sucking the dicks of big corporations.

@Ebalosus  
If people are rich enough, they can get away with their illegal and immoral actions being public.

@NitroFury  
Said corporations are the ones paying them and getting them into office, so they do have their reasons, even if said reasons are immoral. Lobbies were a mistake that we can never fix.

@Meanlucario  
And you know why Socialism is popular, granted its not perfect as well.

@NitroFury  
It’s not a question of “if,” but “how.”

Yet bootlickers of Capitalism will use arguements that are almost 80 years out-of-date; it’s not the Cold War, it’s 2020.

@NitroFury  
I think we’re in two different conversations.

“Free healthcare is Communism.”
 
“Livable minimum wage is Communism.”
 
“Caring about the environment is Communism.”
 
“Workers rights is Communism.”
 
Not gonna lie, but Communism sounds pretty dope.

@Violet Rose in The Rain  
I think it’s only idiots and greedy CEOs who associate those with communism.

“Survival of The Fittest” is a bit funny, because that’s explicitly not the evolutionary survival strategy humans (and many other animals) have taken. Humans organized into tribes because we’re stronger when we help each other. We learned how to speak because we’re stronger when we’re together and sharing ideas and knowledge.
 
And we have ample evidence that we took care of handicapped and injured tens of thousands of years ago, as long as we can be called humans. We did not get here by culling the weak, we got here by carrying our weak. Literally. Those that didn’t hunt and gather, had time to think and collect stories, make musical instruments and entertain others.
 
Rugged individualism is a sin against human nature, not altruism.

@Violet Rose in The Rain  
You seem to not realize that it’s those who think they’re on top claims that, not the majority. They’re also represented as assholes when medias.

The orders are worse than I expected.
 
The payroll tax one is not a cut, it’s a deferral. Meaning you’ll still have to pay at the end of the year.
 
The eviction one doesn’t put a ban on evictions, its asking the housing department to explore the possibility of a moratorium.
 
And the unemployment relief is just moving funds around.
 
 
This is worse than a bandage on a stump, its telling the patient to go home and think positive thoughts.

@Zincy  
Do you think they’ll fool many people into thinking he’s doing something useful?

@Latecomer  
I think you already know the answer to that.

@Meanlucario  
@Meanlucario  
Trust me, there’s plenty of bottom-feeders who’ve been fooled by those talks of “trickle-down”, “taxation is theft” or “you can get rich too if you work hard” and are ready to parrot those points, like the useful idiots they are, against anyone defending the virtues of wealth redistribution and welfare state.
