Maybe it was a reminder for the VP to stay on brand, or else?

And they are no longer exempt from insider trading regulations.

I mean, here's a radical thought: maybe she just shows up and goes to work? I don't see how she needs permission from Republicans to represent her constituents.

Came here to say the same thing about lgbtq+ folks.

"Bloodthirsty" and "Power-mad" seem like appropriate adjectives to describe this announcement.

We don't care if they believe prayer works. It's only meaningful to the discussion if they can *prove* that prayer works.

Christianity has a history of pretending to be morally superior while engaging in morally questionable acts.

🤣🤣🤣

I mean, if they have to cheat to get more support for their platform, they're kind of admitting that their platform is bad and doesn't represent the will of most voters.

The stock market is not the economy. The stock market is rich people's yacht money.

Every time I've had a conversation with an anti-abortion advocate, their reasoning always comes down to a religious argument. Glad to see some effective pushback on that front.

I don't think it would be inappropriate to bottle up the byproducts of those facilities, and use them as a food additive for the executives who run them. If the byproducts are safe, they would have nothing to worry about.

That blows my mind, because to me it seems like if some government action is illegal for one person, it's probably illegal for everyone.

Trump suddenly discovers nuance and tact when the allegations might affect him or the people who pull his strings.

My concern is when the scope of ICE action gets expanded to whatever Stephen Miller and Russell Vought want to throw an armed goon squad at.

Turns out, the death panels were Republicans the whole time.

The accusations are intended to make Republican voters think that it's "fair play" and "both sides do it" when elected Republicans misbehave. Like a kind of pre-clearance, except for criminal and unconstitutional acts.

This is, by far, my biggest concern about the direction this administration is taking the US.

If a private individual owns the profit, data, and deregulation benefits from their actions, it seems to me they own the costs and consequences too.

As hard as Republicans fought against Riggs, and now this? They must really need North Carolina for their fascist power grab.

I can walk up the stairs inside the Statue of Liberty and admire and be inspired by it.

Somehow I don't think I, or any other non-billionaire citizen, will be able to go inside that plane.

"No one is above the law" applies to MAGA too.

The Trump administration really does just come down to using threats and violence to take things from other people, and now it's using the government to do so.

Sadly, it probably won't stop until someone *makes* them stop.

Funny how Republicans want to have a nuanced discussion about due process under the 5th amendment, but are weirdly strict about the infringement text of the 2nd.

He comes across like a "spare the rod, spoil the child" kind of guy who's not allowed within 500 yards of a school.

"Free markets.". Totally not being manipulated by the government.

I mean, that's how it always goes with these kinds of people. If you do something they don't like, or stop them from doing what they want, they find a way to make your actions wrong / illegal.

If that's the case, I wonder if there's a stand-your-ground self-defense case to be made for using lethal force against a fetus that threatens the life or health of the person carrying it?

You see, it's monsters like this guy that make me think that if a person refuses to abide by the Constitution, then they shouldn't be protected by it.

Most of the people supporting the bad guys haven't realized they're the bad guys yet.
