Quote from: Oliver the Second on November 12, 2023, 07:39:05 PMI like coffee and weed. Fortunately I have a cup for just the occasion.

Very practical.

The House of Representatives recently passed a bill proposed by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene to reduce Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg's salary to $1, citing his extravagant trips and a past incident where he pretended to ride a bike to receive an award.

The bill is unlikely to be approved by the Senate.

This move is part of the Holman Rule, allowing members to propose amendments to decrease federal workers' salaries to $1, essentially defunding their positions.

The bill reflects ongoing efforts by some Republicans to reduce spending by the Biden administration.

It is not looking good for Joe Biden.

DISMANTLING THE 'DEEP STATE'
Trump would try to strip tens of thousands of career employees of their civil service protections. That way, they could be fired as he seeks to "totally obliterate the deep state."


He would try to accomplish that by reissuing a 2020 executive order known as "Schedule F." That would allow him to reclassify masses of employees, with a particular focus, he has said, on "corrupt bureaucrats who have weaponized our justice system" and "corrupt actors in our national security and intelligence apparatus." Given his anger at the FBI and federal prosecutors pursuing criminal cases against him, Trump probably would target people linked to those prosecutions for retribution.

Beyond the firings, he wants to crack down on government officials who leak to reporters. He also wants to require that federal employees pass a new civil service test.

THE U.S.-MEXICO BORDER
Trump has pledged to "immediately stop the invasion of our southern border" and end illegal immigration.

As part of that plan, he says he would immediately direct U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to undertake the largest domestic deportation operation in American history. He would target people who are legally living in the United States but harbor "jihadist sympathies" and revoke the student visas of those who espouse anti-American and antisemitic views.

In a bid to secure the U.S.-Mexico border, Trump says he will move thousands of troops currently stationed overseas and shift federal agents, including those at the Drug Enforcement Administration and FBI, to immigration enforcement. He also wants to build more of the border wall.

Trump wants to reimpose his travel ban that originally targeted seven Muslim-majority countries and expand it to "keep radical Islamic terrorists out of the country." In the wake of the Hamas attack on Israel, he has pledged to put in place "ideological screening" for immigrants. His aim: bar "dangerous lunatics, haters, bigots, and maniacs," as well as those who "empathize with radical Islamic terrorists and extremists."

To deter migrants, he has said he would end birthright citizenship, using an an executive order that would introduce a legally untested interpretation of the 14th Amendment. The order would prevent federal agencies from granting automatic citizenship to the children of people who are in the U.S. illegally. It would require that at least one parent be a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident for their children to be eligible for passports, Social Security numbers and other benefits.

TRADE
Trump says he will institute a system of tariffs of perhaps 10% on most foreign goods. Penalties would increase if trade partners manipulate their currencies or engage in other unfair trading practices.

Exactly, he is a senior citizen virgin who has never owned property.

Quote from: Lokmar on November 11, 2023, 02:33:52 PMYep. And why the hell did that happen? Buckets of dead babies that looked big enough to walk me down to the bus, thats why. Libtards kept insisting that late term abortion was bullshit, then they got caught. The horrors from that outing led to Roe v Wade getting tossed. STILL, its an absolute lie to say Republicans made abortion illegal.

FOR DECADES, Republicans tried to get democRATs to agree to some form of limits. I say read it and weep, libtards.

Both sides are too extreme. There are Democrats who want no limits on abortion and some Republicans want no abortion period.

Quote from: Oerdin on November 12, 2023, 08:54:04 AMThe legalizing of drugs has been a complete failure in several US states and caused a massive explosion in street homeless by addicts.  The U.S. policy of housing first has also been a complete disaster.  Portugal has a policy of treatment first where addicts have to get clean via rehab programs in order to earn housing.  That is a far more sensible and financially doable system.

That makes sense.

He is a vegetable, but I like that.

Quote from: Oerdin on November 11, 2023, 10:35:36 AMHousing first is a total failure.  We need to copy the treatment first solution they use in much of Europe (Portugal is a good model).

Are you talking about legalizing drugs or how Portugal deals with addicts?

It got to the Supreme Court because of the Republicans.
