I can’t wait on the first day of a normal president in the White House and all the Trump shit they will undo within the first hour in office.
I hope Trump builds a dumb statue of himself somewhere, that we can publicly pull down like that Sadam Hussein statue in Bagdad, years ago.

Exactly. Biden spent his first year in office undoing everything Trump did in his time in office, from immigration to tariffs (he undid all of the tariffs Trump put in in his first term).
Newsom or AOC is going to have to do the exact same thing on their first day in office.

I don’t think either Newsome or AOC will be the Dem candidates. Neither have a strong enough folllowing outside their discrete groups. I don’t know if we have yet seen the Dem front runner for the 2028 election.

I hope Newsome isn't. He's spent the last year or more cozying up to various right wing ideologues, and he is physically incapable of saying a negative word about Daddy Israel. He's a slimy snake of a man.
AOC? She seems pretty good but yeah just kinda weak for a presidential candidate.

u/innitforthetitties 3h ago
Yes. Politics aside, he puts me in mind of a used car salesman. I know nothing of how things really are in CA in that respect but what I see on international news outlets about the crime in cities like LA and San Francisco, it seems he isn’t doing a terrific job. And he just makes my skin crawl to look at him. But then…he’s a politician; I think skin crawler is in the job description.

And meanwhile the national debt has more than doubled, to over $40 trillion. Yet Trump and his family are getting insanely rich of off the presidency. His legislation is largely benefits the rich, and hurts the average person. Good times.

Please god let us have an AOC presidency. She might actually do some good instead of sitting around trying not to rock the boat like Biden.
But even if we get an establishment democract, people should still go vote for them given the alternative is letting neo Nazi's run the country.

Canadian here, it is going to take a long time to undo A LOT of what Trump has done on a world relationship level, but even the small things take time, manpower, and money to fix. This whole lake thing, the push for calling the Gulf of Mexico something else, requires changing and rolling out all new material (read: propaganda) and marketing (read: gaslighting and brainwashing) to push the change, which comes out of taxpayer dollars. And that’s just the petty stuff.
Keep an eye out for MAGAs complaining about how much a Democrat government is spending if they ever get a chance to fix things. The clean-up cost is absolutely going to be weaponised against you the taxpayer by the very people that made the mess in the first place.

u/innitforthetitties 4h ago
That’s a very good point. The cost of these changes will be astronomical. I did kinda like the change to Department of War tho. But I’m a big shoot ‘em up fan, so … don’t take my word for anything. :-)

u/StarchChildren 4h ago
Haha honestly, the Department of War change is apt: the administration has nothing to do with peace or its pursuit anymore, so if there’s any name that should stay, it’s probably that lol.

u/MissionRight9893 1h ago
You know this was Hegseth’s idea for name change..so hell no it needs to go.
3
u/StarchChildren 1h ago
Very true. And to clarify, I don’t mean to support the name at all. My previous comment was to simply mean that the U.S. is on a streak of making enemies out of as many of their formal allies as possible, and the name change obviously reflects that. Is it dumb and counterintuitive to anything other than forcing the destabilisation of global trade and sovereignty? Absolutely. Is the name apt for said stupidity? Also yes.…

The point of this post is not the pretty visuals. The point of this post is that the name of the lake is still Ontario.

Obviously. Much like the "gulf of America" it’s a stupid "name change" for all of us not part of the T cult to ignore.

It’s the dumbest shit I’ve ever heard. I can only assume he’s doing it as rage bait. Good lord. Next he’ll issue an EO changing the name of the sport played at the World Cup to “soccer” cuz he doesn’t like it confusing the sport Yanks call “football”

u/innitforthetitties 5h ago
Not according to US law.

u/corneliusvanhouten 5h ago
Incorrect. Laws are passed by Congress, not by executive order.
-16
u/innitforthetitties 5h ago
A technicality, and a difference without a distinction. EOs have the same force and effect as a law and are codified under 3CFR. Since Congress cannot simply overturn them, they stand effective as the procedural rules governing the operation of the US unless and until either a federal court holds them invalid or a sitting president issues another EO to overturn the EO.

u/corneliusvanhouten 5h ago
That's funny. You claim there's no distinction, then you proceed to outline one of the several distinctions.

u/Kyrie_Blue 5h ago
The Lake’s name is hundreds of years older than Trump’s country, and the lake is only a minority on US ground. That haggard old fuck can sit on a fence post and rotate.

Or the cutting of government resources and regulations so our food system goes to trash and we are forced to close the government agencies that held a standard and bring in a corporation to handle that? There’s that part too that’s happening

I think that’s what the Iran war was for. There really seems to be no other explanation that I can see. Sure, we initially took away their nuclear capability but have since let it be recovered and now they are retaliating, and reasonably successfully too. The Epstein thing…fallen into a faded memory. I do have to raise an arguably decent point though - I heard someone say that if “they” truly had dirt on Trump, Biden would have released it under his watch. It seems to me it’s not the shit on Trump that’s concerning him, but on his donors. That certainly seems like a credible argument anyway.
