Just to check, what are the comparative proportions of each power here?
We talking 99% autism 1% compassion or?

SANTA ANA, Calif. (AP) — Voters in a Southern California city rejected a measure that would have allowed residents who aren’t U.S. citizens to vote in local elections.
Measure DD was rejected by 60% of the voters in Santa Ana, a city of about 310,000 in Orange County that’s southeast of Los Angeles, the Los Angeles Times reported Monday.
Santa Ana, a predominantly Latino community, had more votes for Vice President Kamala Harris than President-elect Donald Trump. Experts say the rejection of the measure may indicate that voters, especially Latino voters, are shifting their attitudes about immigration.
“This is kind of in line with trends we’ve been seeing in both polling and elections of the Latino community getting more conservative on issues of immigration,” said Jon Gould, dean of the School of Social Ecology at the University of California, Irvine.
The measure faced steep opposition from local officials and conservative groups such as Policy Issues Institute, which claimed it would be costly and litigious and upend citizens’ rights.
Carlos Perea, an immigrant rights advocate who supported the measure, said those groups “hit the panic button.”
The results reflect Trump’s influence in a year when the former president campaigned heavily against illegal immigration said Perea, executive director of the Harbor Institute for Immigrant and Economic Justice.
It’s illegal for people who are not U.S. citizens to vote for president or other federal offices, and there is no indication of widespread voter fraud by citizens or noncitizens, though many leading Republicans have turned the specter of immigrants voting illegally into a major issue. They argue that legislation is necessary to protect the sanctity of the vote.
But a growing number of communities across the United States are passing laws allowing residents who aren’t U.S. citizens to vote in local elections, such as city council and mayoral races. Supporters say it’s only fair since they live in the communities and pay taxes.
San Francisco passed Proposition N in 2016 to allow noncitizens with children under 18 years old to vote in school board elections. Prop N passed after two similar measures were rejected in 2004 and 2010.
Other states with municipalities that allow residents without citizenship to vote include Maryland, Vermont, and recently, Washington, D.C., New York City granted local voting rights to noncitizens in 2022, but a state judge struck down the law months later and stopped it from ever going into effect. The city is now in the process of appealing the decision.

The thread should be as it is, I think. It's Biden's thread, not Trump's. Trump will get his thread in due time.

Imagine thinking you’re on the correct side of history when you mock people for being upset about the price of their food…. Man a few centuries ago these niggas would be getting the guillotine by this point.

She's really showing she has her finger on the pulse when it comes to the American voter.

There's some overlap in the diagram, the script says that it's going to be 45% autism and 76% compassion.

My political hot take is that Trump needs to spark a good old constitutional crisis in his first 90 days where he tells Hawaii judge to fuck off, else everything will get bogged down in permanent lawfare. He needs to get his Andrew Jackson moment in early on while the mandate is still shiny and new. The question is which issue to pick that fight on?

Rubio has a lot to lose if he does a bad job and Trump fires him. He's giving up a cushy seat in the Senate for this. If he screws this up, his political career is over.
It's easy to keep Rubio on a pretty short leash here ... Just saying that to those who are afraid of him being a swamp rat.
It also wouldn't surprise me if Trump picked Rubio because of Rubio's long standing and consistent "tough on China" stance.

I imagine it would be the birthright issue thing that would allow him to have anything like a Andrew Jackson moment.

IMO Rubio's always been better on foreign than domestic, so.. Should be a good fit. And now Florida will probably replace him with a more conservative type.

I don't know. Until we know for certain, shenanigans could happen for any of them except the +7 one.
