Also, unless you’ve got a way to pay rent or a house you own, good luck getting on housing assistance. Most cities have a waiting list months or years long - I know last time I had to look into it for myself, it was something like 15 months of waiting for a potential open slot anywhere in the city.

Most jurisdictions will try to tack on intent to distribute if you have over an ounce or two, because they know they can.

I switched to Tidal and love it.

Ohio has actually been required to redraw maps for 8 years now. After the 2016 election, it was found that our maps were too heavily biased by the OH Supreme Court, and they ordered a committee to redraw it. The committee is, of course, practically only staffed by GOPers, and they so far have submitted 8 maps that I know of. At least two of them were literally the same as the map that was found illegal, and the rest of them were found to not meet criteria either. They’ve been held in contempt multiple times but DeWine and friends seem not to really want to do anything about that.

None of his Cabinet will. All of them have been chosen mostly to make sure they don’t get in his way when his Wormtongue gives him ideas.

No, he knows. I don’t think he cares, because they’re not him. You fail to understand the mind of a narcissist - other people are not people, and the ones who actively say that they dislike you or what you stand for might as well be ants on the sidewalk for all the thought you give about them, ever.

Trying to look younger by defining the cheekbones and eyes more. She knows Trump and the rest of his cabinet won’t respect a woman who looks like a woman.

Because Netanyahu is one of his best and only friends. He does literally whatever he wants, all the time, with very little legally or factually to stop him. That’s attractive to a wannabe narcissist dictator, and even more attractive when you realize that half of his meetings with Trump are ego stroking for Trump and making him feel like a Vital Important player in Important Middle East Matters.

Israeli policy is to not report missile hits so they can claim Iron Dome works 1000% perfectly.

They don’t plan on having a “next” election. And those businesses will have their workers clearly supplied to them on contract from the federal labor camps they’re already working to build.

Indians, Chinese, or Muslims is my guess.

They’re already planning to have massive ICE camps here in the US, they just cut a $45bn contract for tons more, contracting with private prisons, camping manufacturers, and more. We’re bringing back slave labor - if they’re detained, LEGALLY they can be used for labor without pay, at gunpoint.

Also, we all forget he tried to gin up a war with Iran in his first term. Wartime presidents tend to stay in power, and he knows this - wartime protests would also give him an excuse to use the military at home like the blunt instrument he sees them as.

Arguably, the list alone, plus the customized police vehicle and police outfit, would be enough premeditation.

Precisely this. He didn’t want a happy birthday parade, he wanted an “all this equipment can be used to kill you, no matter who or where” parade. He truly believes that all the military can and should be good for is death and misery and harming the people he thinks need to hurt. In his brain, they’re his personal faceless, nameless drones to inflict violence. He’s been using ICE for this, but ICE doesn’t make him look like his cool dictator friends in the way that rolling a column of Abrams down Mulholland Drive would.

I think he’ll try bigger and simply try to nationalize or end licensing for the big 4.

You’re missing the point. The admin has full control over spectrum licensing. This means Trump could easily have the FCC just revoke all other spectrum licenses for cellphone comms, and just forcibly seize those towers. Don’t look at it like it’s going to operate like a corporation, because I promise you it won’t.

See, here’s the thing when you’re the President. You can just have your FCC chair shut them down. You can actively quash literally any boundaries to being a monopoly, and nobody can do anything about it (from a legal or regulatory standpoint).

Actually, I think so. Remember that this guy wanted to gun down the Floyd protests not because he didn’t like the politics, but according to him, “good presidents don’t have riots”. He was willing to kill thousands of people just to preserve his own mental image of himself.

My governor has said he’s not sending in troops anywhere (after someone asked), but considering the EO allows the SecDef to literally send troops anywhere they feel is a “disruption of public order” in whatever quantity and capacity he deems fit, and considering Hegseth seems to be pretty much an administration hand puppet at this point…I’ll still go, but I’m definitely planning on knowing my escape routes just in case.

While that’s true, we have to remember that nothing about this admin is usual. I’m sure we’ve had plans to invade Panama and Greenland and Canada for generations, surely since after WWII, but now we have an admin run by someone stupid enough to actually try it.
