And even fewer would vote for him today vs Nov 2024. He's at ~39% approval at this point. So, I disagree with the comment above which said that most americans voted for / support this.

New comment by kccoder in "Trump admin drawing up plans to stop processing intl flights in sanctuary cities"

kccoder — Wed, 27 May 2026 23:35:27 +0000

That's a fantastically stupid idea which will irritate untold number of people, raising the price of flights even more, likely negatively affecting airlines bottom line. If they keep it up perhaps they can kill off a few more airlines in addition to Spirit. I sincerely hope they follow through with this absurdity and implement it prior to the world cup. The faster they make things worse, especially for absolutely no reason, the more likely they are to be pummeled in the midterms, which is a win for every sane person in this country.

They'd immediately reject/ignore any such claims.

Their ineffectiveness at reducing the debt doesn't indicate the changes they made didn't have an outsized effect on many lives. USAID for example.

This seems a rather vile line of commentary. Kinda shocked to see it here. Perhaps you’d like to say what you actually want to say? Why do you suppose this white/non-white disparity exists? Do you believe it is genetic? Cultural? Perhaps there are other factors?

Gross.

Renewables being a good thing is not an "extreme left" viewpoint, it's just reality. That being said, I'm going to guess that extreme left supports renewables near 100%.

> Elon has publicly stated that he cares a great deal about safety.

Elon lies more often than he tells the truth; why would you believe anything he says, especially if what he is saying indicates concern for anybody else's well being? He doesn't care about other people and likely is incapable of doing so.

New comment by kccoder in "Minutes before Trump's announcement, $800M in trades made on oil prices"

kccoder — Tue, 24 Mar 2026 23:04:40 +0000

Personally, I blame the abuser over the abused. He has created an environment of extreme anxiety for many because of his words AND actions. The man is unhinged and prone to following his various whims, telegraphed or not, so, who can blame people panicking when a chaos monkey is loose in the house?

My viewpoint is that Trump ALWAYS behaves in a fashion that he BELIEVES will benefit him the most. Often times he is wrong, but short-term financial gains, he's pretty good at, so him abusing the market with BS to make a quick giant pile of cash fits him perfectly well, which makes him semi-predictable. He knows how to manipulate others into buying/selling, so that's what happens. It's the one skill he has, bullshitting guillable / fearful people.

Nothing more than him being president when gas prices were high.

Impeaching without conviction won't do jack. We need 67 senators to convict. I honestly don't know what it would take for that many rep senators to vote to convict.

New comment by kccoder in "SCOTUS rules USPS can't be sued, even when mail is intentionally not delivered"

kccoder — Tue, 24 Feb 2026 19:32:46 +0000

> Justice Clarence Thomas, writing for a majority of five conservative justices, said the federal law that generally shields the Postal Service from lawsuits over missing, lost and undelivered mail includes “the intentional nondelivery of mail.”

Sooooo the entire postal service could just decide to not deliver any mail at all and that's a-okay? How about stealing the contents of mail and keeping/selling them? How about opening mail and stealing valuable information and then not delivering it? How about deliberately not delivering mail ballots to/fro the voter (this is the real real this is happening, and destroying USPS)?

Presumably you're not a admin cabinet member or related to one or have inside info from those in the cabinet, which is the key differentiator.

The correct default position with this admin is bad faith and/or malice.

If you were developing this site wouldn’t you just develop a formula to calculate the discount? Hate to that’s a typo unless you didn’t do any testing.

Luckily we are able to tos\ spot lazy bs here.

This document is full of all kinds of vile behavior by several men, including Trump (forced oral and penetration on 13-14 yo girls, ...). Hopefully this file was widely downloaded because this file no longer exists on the site.

Also, if you compare the entire model line up sales, Tesla isn't even in the top ten in sales. Tesla could disappear entirely and the car industry wouldn't even notice.

The only rational viewpoint is to assume everything this administration does is in bad faith, until proven otherwise.
