Reddit is sneeding unbelievably hard over The Gulf of America thing and I have no idea why.

It's a relatively small and pointless change.
It's the end of the End of History which breaks how they see the world.

They never went through the developmental stage where a young adult realizes "Oh shit, things are going to change on a mass scale and I likely won't be able to do anything about it" so change is terrifying to them.

you know, i hadn't really considered this part of it. it's a shattering of the "we live at the end of history and are 100% correct about everything we know now," thought process that they've built up. major global shifts that directly affect them and how things will be labeled in textbooks (meaning, how the future generations of the world will learn about them) for years to come. we've been living in history book times for so long i've forgotten to reflect on how momentous all this is when taken as a whole.

good insight.

It's easy to get a reaction over something like that. Similar when "scientists" said Pluto was no longer a planet. It is something people grew up learning at a young age. When you change stuff like that you will get an emotional response.

People will continue to call the Gulf of America the Gulf of Mexico. Similar to people who went through school before the change on Pluto, will continue to call Pluto a planet.
 
The judge ordering the old webpages to go back up is supreme bullshit, as it would basically mean the Trump administration would be unable to change any webpages on any Federal site from the Biden era, unless I suppose Biden appointees and Deep State Lifer bureaucrats want them changed.

Does this apply to them taking down Joe Biden and Kamala's Whitehouse.gov pages? Or the pages that state Biden cabinet members are heads of agencies?

How close are we to a Federal Judge ruling the election was illegal and injuncting Biden and his staff to return to work?
 
That stupid bitch that spoke before MTG's end remarks was literally saying "UH???? WUH??? I CANT EVEN!!"
Who the fuck votes for these retards?
People who don't watch them in action.
The people that repeatedly voted for him, I guess.
Most of them couldn't put a name to a face. They just see their party's letter and pick that. Even if he did die and got replaced, nobody would notice.
 
What's the average time frame for every single new member of a new cabinet to get vote confirmation, typically? They could've totally done the Tulsi vote ages ago, but so many people are butthurt over this that they had to drag their feet and make excuses like "Oh no, snow flurries! Gotta cancel!" to keep kicking the can down the road. We're about a month into Trump's second term, shouldn't he have gotten his full cabinet by now?
Took him much longer and in some cases he didn't even get people in for years in 1st term so it's much better this time. They can delay via committee meetings, behind closed doors stuff, 30 hour cloture shit and then of course push to not work weekend or the monday after the superbowl like they just did.

The filing for that is some of the funniest shit too it's like "one doctor reached out to me and said he sends his hepatitis patients to this website to see what it is!" why doesn't the doctor just fucking tell them what it ls?
 
Here's a new question: How can I help?
We've done the protests, we've called the congressmen and senators, we've written the letters, very little of that every made any difference, and joining the military is not a good plan either, so what can we do to do our part?
Stay on your congressman's ass and trust the plan I guess.
I know a half-Jamaican woman who likes Trump and unironically defends/supports the Confederacy. But she is also half-white and a bit of a contrarian/argumentative personality type. Her type are certainly not common.
Is she hot? If yes, can I get her number?
 
Has Mitch voted yes for a single cabinet member yet or is he just noing them all?
i believe he has no'd them all.
Mitch only voted no on Pete Hegseth as DoD Secretary and Tulsi. Everyone else, he voted yes.

I guess the pattern is that he dislikes controversial appointments, so I'm expecting him to also vote no on RFK Jr.
 
UPDATE: Tulsi is 51-47. It's so fucking joever for these uniparty retards. I hope they're malding.

Firstly, THAT's an official portrait I could get behind. Just screams confidence, assertiveness WITH the glamour of her age putting it all together. Secondly, what does the Director of National Intelligence do exactly?
 
Surprisingly close, maybe 2 weeks.
I wouldn't be surprised if there is some judge who legit says Elon hacked the election with Starlink or some shit at this point. They have already found 3 of the judges have spouses or kids linked to USAID funded jobs and I'm sure more are coming out they will do anything to keep that money flowing.
