He was already going to fire them anyway. I’m not really sure how it matters either way. Giving Trump the power of the purse just alllws him to make these firings legal.

It’ll definitely be a pivot to how the Democrats failed and how everything is their fault when the tariffs kick in and the price of everything skyrockets.

I call bullshit on this narrative when the other side of the equation is the guy screaming about tariffs on our largest trade partners.

For fuck’s sake. All these Republicans are just ignoring the fact that the shooter WAS A REGISTERED REPUBLICAN.

We need this shouted from the rooftops and thrown into every headline. This should be the only response any time someone in the GOP in Congress says that the left has been calling for civil war.

I was worried about this since people were whipping a frenzy about how this had to be antifa.

The shooter is a white male gun enthusiast Republican. How awkward for MAGA.

Just remember that polls made it seem like the far right was going to overwhelmingly win.

And then they didn’t.

Yeah, fuck ‘em. Don’t apologize.

In addition to what you’ve mentioned, don’t forget it’s the same groups of people who want to give guns more rights than women/people of color/LGBTQ+. After reading things like this… you realize you shouldn’t be apologizing because these people don’t give a shit.

Yeah, angrily jabbing a phone screen realllllyyyy does not have the same satisfaction whatsoever.

Really glad to see this. I’m appalled at how little grad students are paid given their very large role in keeping universities afloat (teaching classes and helping with research).

Might just be me looking at the game with rose colored glasses and the game may not have aged well - but I remember having a blast playing Golden Sun as a kid. I think you’d enjoy it if you like JRPGs.

I think Xi is counting on the west to be too distracted by Ukraine and Israel to effectively support Taiwan.

Also, speculation on my part - but this feels like the usual posturing/distraction playbook. China’s economy isn’t doing so hot and the government’s bungling of COVID is still fresh in everyone’s minds, so what better way to make people forget about that than to saber rattle?

Maybe it’s just morbid fascination with the slow motion trainwreck that’s Twitter?
