L O L.

No, I believe he's wrecking it because he's an idiot. And yes, he should. Arguing that MONTHS away is "too late" is stupid. If the framers wanted that, they'd have put in the stipulation. By your same metric, Trump shouldn't have been able to do it, either, eh?

Or perhaps they'd like a career fraudster who's wrecking the economy to not be president. This is as clownish as arguing that Obama shouldn't have been able to nominate a Justice "this close to the election".

Sure, they do take threats to and POTUS "very serious." In this case, it's not a threat. Hyperventilating MAGA shitposters on Twitter crying that it means violence doesn't make it violence. 86 does not, and has never, meant to harm or kill. Gabbard, like any good party propagandist, is a...

Anyone who believes 86 = murder is lying or dumb. If this were the case, every restaurant in the world has yelled out that they're murdering fries, ranch, cheesecake, etc...and every bartender has had a drunk patron taken outside for execution. Performative theater by the clowns in the...

LOL.

Anyone believing this is about murder 100% thought Starbucks had a War on Christmas with their cups. Just nonsense. More faux outrage about this than they had any concern people put up gallows on the lawn of the Capitol and sought to find and hang Pence.

I get that they're not down there with pickaxes, but it's my understanding it's not easy work. Definitely not healthy work.

To an extent, yes. Businesses need volume. They're not living on big margins. Small hits equal major problems.

I imagine the impact to those in the service industry, to towns that are tourism-focused, etc is more than "a little". It's easy to ignore the real impact on people when you reduce them to a decimal point.

Tennessee does. Travel and tourism is like 2.5% of our total income and something like 4% of jobs. In 2023, International visitors spend $640M in TN. Just pulling off the sales tax there, that's a 12M or so hole in the budget if the 20% drop figure sticks. While 12m isn't a huge part of the...

Looks like the average pay, according to Google, is about $18/hr. That's not good money for the risks and effort.

Brains are still developing at this point. We just placed an artificial break from child to adult, regardless of development. I get that he's old enough to know what he's doing, but still young enough to let impulsivity and parental pressure (maybe) push his decisions.

DJT. Grifty merch. Spending too much time at his own resorts and charging back to the government inflated rates. Renting out his real-estate to foreign groups for long terms who never stay. Securing money through his SIL from the Saudis for....stuff? I guess? And now, seemingly, market...

They need to be created. I don't have an answer, but WV kicked the can til now and now Trump is looking to kick it a little longer. Get a whole new generation of WV low-wage workers stuck in a career that isn't transferrable.
