This was a form of performance art by Trump with the sole purpose to make him look like a good guy, so as to distract/deflect from the fact that Musk/DOGE is cutting childhood cancer research. That is why Democrats didn't stand or clap, they knew this was just theater.

Why? To reinforce the false narrative, talking point, or meme than transgender people are mentally ill.

Amy Coney Barrett is trending on X/Twitter with the MAGA crowd calling her a DEI hire or a DEI Judge because she sided with the liberals in a couple of the SCOTUS cases decided today. Don't you just love it. https://x.com/search?q=Amy Coney Barrett&src=trend_click&f=live&vertical=trends

So have I and I would guess that most studies support that position.

What is the point of arguing with someone who calls you a libtard?

Because then most will have to go on Medicaid...oh wait, Trump and Republicans want to cut that too.

I knew the Mayor of Boston's surname was Wu.

Sure was: https://x.com/search?q="Mayor Wu"&src=trend_click&vertical=trends (video clip at link) Boston Mayor Michelle Wu at the House hearing on sanctuary cities: "If you wanted to make us safe, pass gun reforms. Stop cutting Medicaid. Stop cutting cancer research. Stop cutting funds for veterans. That is what will make our cities safe." Mic drop!

That is alleged by Elon Musk, but there is no proof to verify that claim.

But wait there's more from SCOTUS. Supreme Court Orders Release of $2 Billion USAID Funds The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled 5-4 against President Trump's attempt to cancel nearly $2 billion in foreign aid spending. This decision upholds an earlier ruling by a district court judge, compelling the Trump administration to pay USAID contractors for work already completed. Justices Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch, and Brett Kavanaugh dissented, expressing concerns over the judiciary's role in executive financial decisions.

Don't try to confuse him with the facts.

But not under martial law while fighting off an invasion from a foreign country. Plus the Constitution does not provide for a wartime exception for the holding of national elections. Fun Fact: The UK postponed its scheduled 1940 general elections due to World War II, maintaining a wartime coalition government. A general election was only held in 1945, once military victory was secured and governance could return to democratic norms.

If you read the link, the Ukranian Parliament does not think so and Zelensky has their full support and most Ukranians agree with that decision

It is not practical to hold elections when a country is at war and under martial law. https://abcnews.go.com/International/ukraine-parliament-affirms-elections-wartime-rebuff-trump/story?id=116193627 Ukraine parliament affirms no elections during wartime in rebuff to Trump KYIV, Ukraine -- Ukraine's parliament has passed a resolution affirming the legitimacy of Volodymyr Zelenskyy as president and confirming that elections are not possible until after the war ends. The resolution is a rebuff to U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, who have both suggested Zelenskyy is illegitimate because he has not held elections during the war with Russia. Zelenskyy said on Sunday he would step down if it meant peace for his country, adding he would also do so if it meant Ukraine would be granted NATO membership. The parliament noted on Tuesday that Zelenskyy was elected in legitimate elections and his mandate is not in doubt. It also said that no elections can be held until the lifting of martial law after the coming of a "just and lasting peace." Zelenskyy was elected in a landslide in 2019, but his term expired last May. Ukraine is under martial law which under its constitution forbids the holding of elections. Most Ukrainians, including major opposition parties, agree that holding credible elections now amidst the war is not possible because millions are abroad as refugees, hundreds of thousands are fighting. An election could also be an opportunity for Russia to divide the country while it is trying to defend itself. [,,,]

https://x.com/allenanalysis/status/1897340814197461218 BREAKING: Trump is gutting the Department of Veterans Affairs—firing 80,000 workers and leaving millions of veterans stranded. The same guy who ran on “supporting our troops” is now slashing VA jobs, making it harder for veterans to get healthcare, benefits, and disability assistance. They’re calling it “fiscal responsibility.” Let’s be real—it’s punishing veterans while funneling money into corporate tax breaks. Imagine sending people to war and then telling them, “Sorry, no doctors, no support—figure it out.” That’s the Trump Doctrine in action.

It means that Trump did not get a mandate from a majority of American voters and you will see that manifested when grocery prices don't fall (as he promised) and the price of just about everything rises due to his misundestanding of how tariffs work.

No, but I am sure that 77,303,568 is 1.5% higher than 75,019,230.

No, I am pointing out that the claim that he received a mandate to govern from the US voting public is not true when he didn't receive a majority of the votes cast and only won by 1.5%. And this will be shown in the coming weeks when grocery prices do not fall (as he promised) and the price of almost everything will increase due to his tariffs.

Fun Fact: This thread is 39 pages long and filled with numerous examples of Trump's cognitive decline (mostly videos). Maybe I should start bumping the best examples, which would be kind of a "Trump Cognitive Decline Greatest Hits" package.

This does: Democratic Kamala Harris Tim Walz 226 42% 75,019,230 48.34% Republican Donald J. Trump J.D. Vance 312 58% 77,303,568 49.81% Various Others 0 0 % 2,878,359 1.85% Last update: 12/31/2024

A YouTube clip of an exchange with one worker from six months ago, yes indeed, that is indicative of how Canadians feel about his remarks from yesterday.

I can count and I know that if a candidate did not win a majority of the votes and only beat their opponent by 1.5% they didn't "win big"

He didn't a majority of the votes cast and only beat Harris by 1.5% which is not winning big.

Yes, awfully demented.
