Gets attention and makes Wayfair change its action?

I hope McConnell gets a heart attack or something and either retires or dies. He's such a literal ass cancer to this country.

Look, I'm all for making fun of things in the political scene, but come on now... You're just being toxic.

Ok, so i am reading about Trump's federal reserve nominee... Phd... Seems like progress... But it's in businesses administration which is worthless for the job. Then it turns out its someone who supports going back to the gold standard, the equivalent to flat earthers of economics, and is overtly against the federal reserve. This person seems pretty much worst than the previous nominees...

Well, it's no different than the DeVos and Perry appointments then

Certainly those two are as unqualified but I'd argue appointing people with zero qualifications with every intention of actively sabotaging the federal reserve is a far worst risk than what devos can do to the education system. The impact of the federal reserve on the economy is far larger than what any president could hope to have over an 8 year term. and not just for the US economy but for the world as a whole. the dollar is the world's reserve currency, the pillar of the world's economy. This is bigger than the US education system... it's pretty much everyone's everything.

I'm not making fun of anything. I don't understand how that's anywhere remotely as toxic as a piece of shit not wanting to help 9/11 first responders and/or victims, but k.

AOC is better than 99% of the politicians, especially because she actually cares more about the people of this country than most others. Isn't there a picture of said toilet? And the second guy's tweet is apparently from a talkshow host? Has he been to a concentration camp?

I wasn't referring to them being unqualified, but that's certainly true with DeVos. I was more talking about both of them being on record as being very anti-Department of Education/Energy. Perry even said that he wanted to abolish it when he was running for President iirc. So the irony of them being given those positions is quite the thing, lol.

Trump wanting to appoint someone to run the Federal Reserve like this guy when he's demonstrated multiple times that he doesn't even know the function of the institution is shocking to approximately no one.

That's a whataboutism. You thinking someone else did it worse doesn't excuse yourself of anything. You saying you hope someone dies of ass cancer is unproductive, at best.

If these vast over-generalizations and over-simplifications are the norm for your responses, then I can't imagine much meanful dialogue would come from this anyways.

Well, we do have a president who has no idea what he's doing or how to lead running the country, so it's not a surprise he'd appoint incompetent people as well.

wah wah wah, like I care. Pieces of shit like him don't deserve to live. I don't feel the need to put much thought into why McConnell should drop dead for the betterment of US people, or why he's a horrible person (even out of all the politicians). If you don't get it then you won't get it.

I think there might be legal questions about it, but outside of that I don't really get it either. I supposed people are against it because it might be considered a form of self-incrimination. People are also suggesting minorities won't be represented accurately because people won't give accurate numbers of people in their household if they're not citizens. There's ramifications for inaccurate Census data since congressional representation is often based on it when it comes to redistricting and what not. And to put it plainly, underrepresented minorities is beneficial to Republicans.

This mentality doesn't add to anything, knock it off or I'll start deleting.

has any republican or Trump supporter objected to Trump spending money on tanks and all that bullshit? Or are they okay with it because it doesn't help the impoverished either way?

Homeland security is always a worthwhile endeavour. Puts food on the table and clothes on kids backs.

It kills people, especially kids, as well, but I'm sure most republicans don't care because these kids aren't white or American.

But I'm talking about the 4th of July celebration thing he has going on.

So... the argument against is basically that it would discourage minorities, who are also legal citizens, from taking part in the census altogether? I suppose that technically sounds plausible but the scale in which it would have to happen to have that big an effect is massive. To me it makes sense that illegal citizens shouldn't be considered for redistricting purposes anyways. They aren't going to vote anyways.

Well, I think the idea is that the Census data will be inaccurate since it asks questions about the people in your household, and if you have an illegal alien living with you, you probably wouldn't mention them in government documents.

They won't vote, no. But they're still living in the country and subject to laws, etc.

A celebration of our military is always warranted. Fly overs always get people standing, cheering, and clapping.

Still, with the lacking resources devoted to handling illegals

That's more along the line of what I was thinking. Legal minorities don't have much to worry about. Illegals staying in the US via illegal mean can just ignore the census. However, illegals that want to respond to the census would have to put a target on their back to do so. The same goes for people who harbor illegals and want to respond to the census.

That being said, the resources devoted to dealing with illegal immigrants is meager at best. Right now, that census question would serve primarily as intel to be acted upon notably later, a way to decrease the population counts for illegal immigration supporters, and a justification for government targeting (similar to how traffic cops use traffic violations as an excuse to bust people for drugs).

Regardless, the question is being over blown. MSM and the political scene in general is a giant magic act: Misdirection is the name of the game. To clarify, they're making a big deal about one thing and drawing attention away from another, the lack of anything meaningful actually getting done.

While true, the US military isn't always doing good things.

Lovely that Democrats remain as divided as ever.
