Despite the fact that we produce 10% more energy than we consume, and are at peaks of oil, natural gas, and renewable energy production, we have a national energy emergency.
Still can’t read the whole thing (the language is super inflammatory), but colleges and universities can fire faculty for being rude and abusive to their students. Unless the student is trans, then you can call them names and the school can’t do anything.
It’s like the new Meta moderation policies that saying “He’s an evil man” is still banned, but saying someone is an evil tranny is ok.
Ugh. I wish that was a surprise but it’s not.

Thing is that there weren’t anyone (or very few) who was actually charged with anything at the time. And he likely didn’t think “pre-emptive” pardoning was something worth pursuing at the time.

This website started 8 years ago for 1.0 and was a good outline and summary of daily events, I think I’ll be using it again for 2.0:

That doesn’t make any sense. Denali is a mountain. Can’t call it a gulf. That would be confusing. And vice versa.
Fixed. The real evil is behind the scenes
I don’t really care about renaming the gulf or the mountain. It doesn’t affect anything.
As I said earlier, I agree with the idea he has around birthright citizenship, but I don’t think he has the authority to define it that way. Since the wording is a bit vague in meaning, I’d imagine it would either need to come as a law from Congress (with a possible SCOTUS weigh-in) or an amendment.
I also have no issues with saying that the government will only recognize 2 sexes, and not to use the term gender. However, I did see something in a story on NBC that did alarm me:
The last title should never be removed. Regardless of how someone may feel about LGBTQ+ individuals, nobody should ever be harassed. Treat everyone with respect.

It’s not like the US government hasn’t already tried to take everything else from local indigenous people.
With this Supreme Court, who are we kidding?
It’s not about doing things the easiest or cheapest.
Let’s say you let everyone in the country illegally as of some date have citizenship. How do you distinguish between those already here and those arriving?
What do you mean? I think everyone who wants to become a citizen of the US should be able to do so as soon as they get here. Which means both currently undocumented people here as well as anyone who comes here can get citizenship immediately.
Well sure, if you include so called solar and wind in your definition of the word “energy” it sounds like less of an emergency. But I have great news for you…
What I mean is I do not think everyone who wants to become a citizen of the US should be able to do so as soon as they get here. If that were the case we wouldn’t have visas and green cards and …
Yeah, we wouldn’t have green cards and visas. Let’s simplify things like our good friend Svalbard.
Yeah everyone come to the US in your old age, work a little, and we’ll let you in on Social Security, Medicare…

Looking at the demographics of all those able-bodied people hiking through the Darien Gap, I’m not too concerned with their ability to be hard workers and contribute to society so I’m not worried about that. We will then tax them to the extent where the taxes pay for their fair share of using public resources.
We were pretty close to this in 2001 then 9/11 happened…
It creates a bunch of expenses for various levels of government as they have to go through the process of renaming it on maps, programs, graphics, etc. for no real benefit. Trump is effectively wasting millions of dollars on this for no real benefit to anyone.
I believe you have to work a minimum of 10 years to qualify for social security. I’m pretty sure there’s a work requirement for Medicare as well as the parents of a friend of mine got their US Green Cards via the lottery as seniors and they haven’t qualified for Medicare quite yet.
