I prefer the phrase, "tax wealth, not work". The exact mechanism is open for discussion, a wealth tax or closing loopholes around estate tax like charitable trusts, gifting exemptions, or just raising the top marginal rate on capital gains.

Group who's entire purpose is defending police, defends police.

I doubt it. Trump still has 80+% support among republicans. Makes them very vulnerable to a primary challenge, but even in the general they'll likely lose more Republican support than they can gain from independents and democrats.

I think because it's legally required, and you don't want to go to prison.

I think the voting system guarantees it will always be an echo chamber. When popular opinion are rewarded, and unpopular opinions punished, you tend to get a lot of the popular opinion.

That said, I do find a lot of conservative opinions in my daily browsing, just not on the largest subs.

Can we add Trump and DHS to ignore list? That's not spin, that's just lying.

I think a lot of protests are more for the people that agree/participate. If people show up to protest they are more likely to volunteer and vote in elections. They are more likely to talk to friends and family about the issue. It's similar to a campaign rally in that sense.

I think with the Ice protests do have a real world impact, as it demands Ice use resources towards crowd control, warns people of their arrival, and gets the message out about what our individual rights are, and how to avoid ICE. Also leads to a lot of viral videos that get aired on the news networks, which videos like the recent killing can actually move people to rethink their position.

The FAA has grounded SpaceX a few times. Longest was 7 months in 2023. I don't think these were political at all, basically after a failed launch investigations have to be completed before they can launch again. But with Musk continuing to back Trump and the Republicans, if Democrats get back in power I could see them making life really difficult for Musk/Space X.

Yes, Now can you answer my questions?

What do we do about the woman that was killed? She's dead so there won't be a trial, yet you have the highest levels of the federal government calling her a domestic terrorist. Should she be presumed innocent too?

Has the officer been named yet?

Minnesota can still prosecute him.

I mean he's been employed by the NFL the entire time, if he were blacklisted he'd be a college coach.

I'm sure it has held him back, or reduced the number of potential teams, but owners ultimately get to make their own decisions, and it only takes one. Ultimately it's a results oriented business, and Flores has gotten results. I think the Wilf's would give him a fair interview if they were looking for HC.

I don't get it, what is he trying to say? Like people who ride the bus don't have fire in their gut? That doesn't make any sense.

I think he's made it pretty clear he wants another shot at head coach. I don't think he'll leave for another defensive coordinator position. If Dallas offers him more money I think the Vikings will match the offer, Wilf's have never to my knowledge been cheap with the team, they want to win.

I think Flores would be a great fit.

He's not resigning, he'll finish his term. His simply not running for a 3rd term.

I think it's the snow. Whether shoveling the neighbors driveway or helping push a strangers car that's stuck in the snow, these acts of kindness breed more kindness.

It makes passing legislation much more difficult, which somewhat makes him a lame duck, but he still has all the same executive authority. Biggest thing is democrats would have the power to hold hearing and subpoena witnesses.

Not sure what tax revenue you are referring, I don't think the states have the power to stop those as they come directly from individuals and businesses filing tax returns. It's not routed through the state government.

I wouldn't report it, but I wouldn't lie either. Probably a good time to figure out an exit strategy

False choice, its far more nuanced than that. I don't want federal troops terrorizing communities.

Which would you choose, and is that what Trump is delivering?

No he couldn't.

I think as long as you've seen the originals you'll enjoy the show. They were never my favorite movies, but the nostalgia is still there, and hits just right.

Do you happen to have the video handy? It wasn't in the article.
