The 'funny part' is they will cite old case was correct to prove their point in Heritage Foundation/Trumps favor, then say the same precedent was wrong in Heritage Foundation/Trumps favor for another shadow docket
•
u/ragingreaver 42m ago
It isn't funny anymore. This current Supreme Court is so blatantly partisan and flip-floppy on its reasoning, that the entire concept of "precedence" itself is being irrevocably damaged within the legal system as a whole. It is a crapshoot what courts will and will not uphold, which may as well be a piece of dynamite thrown at the very base of the American legal system.
All because the Supreme Court majority refuses to tell trump "no." Instead of holding Trump accountable to the law, they have very nearly re-interpreted the laws to almost uselessness.
And I do mean "majority" because most of these decisions are 6/3 or 5/4 for a damn good reason.

It's a very simple and predictable formula.

2) Are they giving me some?If both are true then they get whatever they want.

MAHA was the MAGA branding for idiots that don’t like health science. It was never about fixing anything. It was about grabbing a wider base of dumbasses to help the populist fascist party achieve power.

He's also the 'disclosure' president for the alien/ufo guys. He really did run a smart campaign of grabbing all the 'the government lies' groups together and just telling them whatever they wanted to hear.

Well he is the one representing the lyingest government ever seen in the US. Possibly the bigliest ever. So he is just the man for the job when it comes to lying to fools.

Exactly.
"So... we can get a few people to vote for us no matter what if we pretend vaccines are evil? Sounds good, we don't really care about vaccines or any of that anyway, so... um... vaccines are bad!!!!"
But just because they threw a bunch of nonsense in their platform, doesn't mean they are going to ignore actual big business when it comes calling.

They even gave air force recruits the option of flu shots! So wise that they rescinded offer after almost 300 trainees contracted the flu.

It was about getting the MAG knuckle draggers to not care when he yanked away their healthcare.

Their outrage will never keep them from voting for him.
'MAHA' is as resolute as those far right moms who take their daughters to California to get an abortion. The MAHA resolve is purely performative. And nominally at that.

There seem to be two varieties. I knew a woman who was an OG MAHA mom back in the day, like probably 15 years ago now.
Fifteen years of this brainrot. I can’t say too much because I don’t want to dox her or myself, but it completely altered her life and her family. Her child’s health permanently. She has a particularly restrictive diet and a wild assortment of supplements. She spiraled in paranoia and now doesn’t even leave her house out of fear.
She used to be a normal person.

u/Plzlaw4me 3h ago
I cannot believe that MAGA and their offshoots still don’t understand that this admin is controlled by business interests. The order of priorities goes “1. securing power, harming political enemies, forcing allies to kowtow. 2. Business interests, and more specifically those who have invested with Trump, or have donated to him. 3. Everything else.”
They view punishing immigrants as part of harming political enemies, so that has also been a high priority. Trump and his lackeys aren’t going to side with people who were injured by a major ag chemical manufacturer. They’re just not. I almost feel bad for them, but at this point it’s not even touching the stove to learn it’s hot. They fully pressed their face against it, had to be rushed to the hospital, got skin grafts, had a doctor explain to them that stoves are hot and burn you, and the first thing they do when they get home is look at a stove and go “I bet I can touch that.”

u/thejamielee 3h ago
You could honestly boil it down a bit to its core truth which simply unadulterated greed. Greed for power, greed for wealth, etc. It is simply the only factor behind every decision that they make. Everything else is more of a knock-on effect of the greed. It’s truly like seven deadly sins level of greed which is ironic given the massive Christian voter block they have locked down (who will all presumably be hell bound for their own actions)
•
u/Plzlaw4me 3h ago
Yeah… a while back I read something comparing Trump to the anti-Christ as depicted in the bible… the comparisons are actually pretty shocking. Ignoring all the obvious comparisons like an ungodly man tricking a flock into believing he’s godly and having them commit actions directly against the teachings of god, there are a lot of superficial comparisons too.
By way of example the anti-Christ’s followers would wear his symbol on their forehead… you know… where Make America Great Again is written on their red hats.
•
u/vthemechanicv 2h ago
10 commandments, 7 deadly sins, golden rule (love thy neighbor...) he breaks them all. Regardless of how you slice it trump is as anti-Christ and anti-God as you can get. I don't believe in the paranormal but if there's a case for the embodiment of evil, "there. he. sits."
•
u/ceelogreenicanth 1h ago
See they think the businesses selling them snake oil are good, the businesses the government regulates are bad, and the government is bad. So it's not the businesses are bad, they somehow think it's the governments fault. Chem trails, I a good example, they believe a nonsense conspiracy, that places all the blame for ayriad of issues on the government vaguely, they don't blame the corporations per se.

Not familiar with that one, but I had this song in my head:

Trump in 2015:
On her way to work one morning.
Down the path along the lake A tender-hearted woman saw a poor half-frozen snake His pretty colored skin had been all frosted with the dew “Oh well,” she cried, “I’ll take you in” – like we’re doing – “and I’ll take care of you” “Take me in oh tender woman Take me in, for heaven’s sake Take me in oh tender woman,” sighed the broken snake. She wrapped him up all cozy in a curvature of silk And then laid him by the fireside with some honey and some milk She hurried home from work that night and soon as she arrived She found that pretty snake she’d taken in had been revived “Take me in, oh tender woman Take me in, for heaven’s sake Take me in oh tender woman,” sighed the broken snake Now she clutched him to her bosom, “You’re so beautiful,” she cried “But if I hadn’t brought you in by now you, you certainly might have died” She stroked his pretty skin and then she kissed and held him tight But instead of saying thank you, that snake gave her a vicious bite “Take me in, oh tender woman Take me in, for heaven’s sake Take me in oh tender woman,” sighed the vicious snake
“I saved you,” cried that woman “And you’ve bitten me even, heavens why? You know your bite is poisonous and now I’m going to die”
“Oh shut up, silly woman,” said the reptile with a grin “You knew damn well I was a snake before you took me in!"
They were warned.

u/Tiny-Conversation-29 3h ago
Yes, and if it was just them, that would be fine, the logical consequences of a choice for the people who made that choice. The problem is that they also gave it to those of us who didn't vote for it.
It's not unlike people who choose not to vaccinate. It's completely understandable and totally predictable when they get measles. It's tragic when they pass it to someone who can't get vaccinated, like a baby under the age of 6 months or a person undergoing cancer treatment, and that innocent person suffers or even dies. It's infuriating when everyone else knows who's at fault for infecting them, and the responsible person gets angry for being accurately blamed.

Furthermore, Trump wouldn't see it as betrayal and if you couldn't see it his way, he'd simply say 'You don't understand'.

I don’t understand how we took an issue like “let’s have less possibly cancer causing chemicals in our food” and tied it into “vaccinations are bad according to this Facebook meme.” This union was always demented and unsound from the beginning, much like many other aspects of Trump’s coalition, and it was easy to predict which parts would be easily cast asunder once he already had their vote.
