why is it just a scare to increase the tax on the rich when we've been doing constantly over decades and there's only fights about decreasing social services or holding the line, but the tax cuts for the middle class have been temp and the right, permanent and water under the bridge?

i can't imagine any previous president or even other country punishing another country experiencing a natural disaster. when california was having fires he blamed california and said canada managed their forests better. he has no actual beliefs, just whatever suits his insults for the day.

a politician lying to the american people should be at least as illegal as a ceo lying to shareholders

who paid for the modification of the qatari plane? who decided that some defense features could be skipped? if the dept of defense paid does that mean they own the plane? is the new rule that all money in executive budgets can be used freely by the president? if so, congress has lost it...

if we're close to being able to have self replicating factories on the moon imagine what we could do even sooner on earth without hauling everything up the grav well, and where all our tech is already designed for our environment. everything is just 2 years away. trust me bro 🙂

people who say trump isn't working on lowering prices which is important to americans make me wonder....why do they think that he'd be any good at lowering prices? because...he says he's good at it? he says a lot of things that aren't true 🙂

why does trump hate spain so much....is it because they speak...mexican? 🙂

trump should just declare every election everywhere invalid. if he did then it would be obvious he's just doing it as a copy paste with no evidence...but you know what? it doesn't matter because the gop will support it. reality has no bearing. all will be stuck in mud.

if only elections could defend themselves from defamation and if they (the election) wins then it should be settled and repeated accusations should be cut and dried defamation finding.

i think the only way congress is going to be able to pass laws to limit the extension of powers that allow abuse and corruption certainly ISN'T by winning and taking the high road. abuse power till maga screams while citing cases during trump. else they win when they're in power and safe otherwise

is there any limit to what the president can sign/obligate the behavior of the usa now and into the future without participation of congress? i thought the senate has to approve treaties with other countries. the president can only move his military around...attacking/retreating.

i was thinking about how the legal system decided that e jean carroll successfully sued trump for liability in a sexual assault. he repeatedly contradicted the outcome and had to pay increasing defamation. can we have a court legally determine if the 2020 was stolen (or not)

i remember when petty dictators would make the most extreme threats and the usa would always be very measured in its diplomatic messages. i never thought i'd see the day when the usa threatens extinction and kim jong un looks like a wise statesman by comparison

trump equates NOT going to war with iran as GIVING iran nukes,. not only is this a false equivalence, but one can argue that when it comes to the usa, attacking iran does NOTHING to prevent it from getting nukles..just a waste of money, lives. there was a plan in place before trump tore it up.

when trump says "we" did all the hard work and our allies owe it to use to take over the straight of hormuz i wish they'd say "oh! after you...please show us how it's done since this is the easy part"

trump on being asked about calls for 25th amendment for him:: "i haven't heard that" wow...a starting evidence for the process....shouldn't a president be aware of people in both parties talking about it.

whyismark.bsky.social @whyismark.bsky.social · 29/03/2026
is trump lying or iran...? if trump is telling the truth and negotiations are going well, why would iran sabotage it by saying trump is lying? fi trump is lying and there are no negotiations, then iran is not spoiling anything by calling him a liar
000
whyismark.bsky.social @whyismark.bsky.social · 29/03/2026
i can easily imagine how the planning of the iran attack went with trump "we have to assume the first thing iran will do will be to close the strait of hormuz" "no they won't..don't worry about it" "but it's their main leverage" "they won't...what's next on our list? i don't have all day"

i was going to write about how his behavior makes his lies seem very transparent but i'll instead write:: trump (and by extension the entire GOP that supports this) is a lying sack of sh*t

did anyone notice when trump attacked iran he was months into looking at every possible target on the globe to attack? makes it hard to believe that iran was a real and imminent threat after he totally obliterated their nuclear program.. are we that stupid?

for donald trump loved america so much he sacrificed his wife's only son to the war, the completely legal and perfect war, in iraq 😛

whyismark.bsky.social @whyismark.bsky.social · 03/03/2026
so we attacked iran without declaring war...i remember a time when we (usa) thought something like that would be "a day of infamy"😛

whyismark.bsky.social @whyismark.bsky.social · 05/02/2026
remember when pres bush had to trot out questionable evidence over time to make a case of why iraq was such an imminent threat of having nukes? at least presidents at the time felt like they had to convince the public. but with trump, it's like public opinion doesn't matter...kings just go to war.

wasn't the thing that really angered america about pearl harbor was that it was attacked without a declaration of war? does anyone declare war anymore or is it some kind of antique ritual nowadays?

hope greenland is watching venezuela to see what happens to american conquests (though how we are "running" things without and occupying force seems unbelievable to me. i'm guessing our "administering" the country is just a form of extortion)

i'd like to think there is a prophecy that one day there will be born...someone who is destined to bring balance to the tax code. there should be no shame in realizing society is heading in the wrong direction and issue a corrective change rather than continue turning into the nosedive... 😛

we should have a law that if anyone is indicted by grand jury for election interference they can't run in any elections until it is put to rest. then we'd see trump shift from delaying to rushing tactics

the basic question i never hear....why? what's wrong with the brain of america? how confident are experts that the mass epstein files are untouched/edited? we do know a guy who thinks nothing of destroying evidence was in charge of the dept with the files for almost a year, right?

if dems make a deal with gop to promise to hold a vote "later" why can't that be written into the compromise that's being voted on at the time? make it law. a very specific law that applies for a short period of time, but that can be important too. "a strongly worded letter" chuck schumer 😛

whyismark.bsky.social @whyismark.bsky.social · 10/11/2025
if two businesses make a promise to each other but neither trusts each other, isn't their solution to write a contract? could they do that in congress? with specific costs (important). so if gop lies, they must pay 1. trillion. dollars. to the dem immediately in one lump sum 😁no "i promise"

i think the problem we have is our entire system is obsessed only with can a person in an office do X. we have zero process for determining what is true/fact or not (arguing until it's too late is not a process). if there is a emergency power. declare an emergency. then make something up.

the key to trump is collect TONS of money that are at his/executive branch discretion because directing money is the first step to leveraging whimsical discretion into favors/bribes/coercion both domestic and international.... it doesn't have to be a 1 to 1 return since it's all free

jd vance defended the fcc saying it did nothing. kimmel is back on the air, so what's the problem? i wonder if judas tried a defense like that.....'yeah he was crucified, but hey, he was fine 3 days later, so really i did nothing wrong'😛

trump using the fact that cbs and abc caved to his frivolous lawsuits is like a mob boss pointing to all the shops that pay extortion as proof that they love the service he provides.

what they never understood was the constitutional "free speech" was a limitation on what the *government* can do. but they were often freaking out over being restricted in non-government venues.

it's too tedious to call the gop the party of hypocrites because there are just too many categories to refer too. i'll just call them the pedo party. either they are actual ones that pop up in police reports or the vast majority are in their tolerance and defense of such.

the best way to protect the lives of our servicemen is to release the epstein files so this lunatic doesn't keep making up emergencies. i'm so glad congress is on the ball with this. the founding fathers weren't clever enough to foresee the gop..

whyismark.bsky.social @whyismark.bsky.social · 02/09/2025
oh no....we might "have" to suddenly attack another country... release the epstein files in their entirety now WITH bipartisan oversight. (anyone who trusts his appointees to do this correctly wouldn't be demanding to see the evidence in the first place....)

i heard the usa is running influence schemes in greenland much like russia and china (shocked?). i hope the minority of greenlanders who do lean to joining the usa notice how the gop treat states they don't like. they'll outright invade them on trumped up "emergencies". the should run while they can

so..the executive wielding the power of congress (tax/tariff) at whim might be....illegal? shocks and gasps... if it takes six months to almost get to that realization and maybe six more to resolve it. we really have no laws or constitution at all. war powers should only be used when we're at war.

trump CAN/MIGHT do things for america, but only in that it gives him bragging rights. it's important that it sounds good...and so sometimes it might actually be good...but the motivation is to brag about it for politics and more importantly because that's his ego.

whyismark.bsky.social @whyismark.bsky.social · 12/08/2025
so...i heard statistically crime is down in dc, but trump has a new crusade to enforce order there??? is it because dc doesn't have an entire state to back it up? if he really wanted to swing his big/tiny stick around google said that st louis, MO has the highest violent crime. he should try them😛

i can see why people will have a reflex to adopting gerrymandering in blue states too with "we can't sink to their level". but the practical need can't be ignored. i'd want to see it adopted as part of a "until we have districts made by neutral algorithm nationwide, we will do this too"
