So basically, all MAGA are driving around with their emergency brake on.

Yeah, that bottom comment was my thought before even reading it.

She is talking about shit like consumer protections and human rights being "brakes" on the tape of the country that these rich assholes are doing.

Also what a fucking thing to say at a ceremony for a fake Doctorate. Was it a Doctorate in Stupidity?

I'm certainly not going to accuse Shapiro of good overall judgement or being on the right side of history... just saying, most conservative commentators are scared to say ANYTHING critical of Trump so I think it matters when one does. I do think you're right that he is trying to feign impartiality. I actually think Ben sometimes tones down his criticisms of Trump because he doesn't want to piss off his audience.
It's apparently not only Shapiro who's complaining about it. I think the test is whether the MAGA commentator hates Muslims in general and Hamas in particular more than they love Trump.

For some people, like the transgendered, it's time to gtfo of this country if they can.
I was frightened for my trans nephew when he decided to move to Texas (to be with his Other), but now I realize it doesn't matter which state he goes to, as long as he's in the US he is going to be dodging the government - if not local, then national.

I and others have offered to pay his way to Canada but he steadfastly insists that he wants to stay with his partner, Texas be damned.

As scary as it is, I have to respect that kind of courage in the face of prison or death. If/when he has to run, our family will be there to help even if we're risking our own arrest.

PS - If ICE is reading this, here's your sign:

Everyone within 2 degrees of Trump should put through the same. "Naked and Afraid"-style reality show contest, competing for pardons for their egregious crimes in his administration, with the losers sent to join their victims down in El Salvador as extra motivation.

Trump is now designing fighter jets. Since he's no believer in stealth jets because they are just being ugly for no reason let's just scratch that, and a 2 engine F35 would be great. Oh, and the F-47 as replacement for the F-22 has been ordered.

They have cut so many programs mid-contract that the money spent is being wasted. A lot of ongoing research will be lost as well, as you can't always just pause and still get valid results. My university is scrambling to identify funding so that people don't lose years of their careers due to unexpected cancellation of contracts for research. Even if funding is restored to Congressionally approved levels, it will now take years to recover from these few months of chaos.
