No, and that's deliberate.
I'm not anti-cop, I just no longer automatically give them the benefit of the doubt. I think most of them will treat you fairly as long as your interests don't conflict with theirs, but once they do look out. You'd better hope you're dealing with the skinny end of the bell curve.

Some of the same people supporting this now were railing against police during covid for "following orders" and being the henchmen for the government.
This is differen[T].
I don't really get "Back the Blue!!!" more than the "all pigs suck" group. Cops are people, some of them suck, some of them don't, most of them will be negatively influenced by their power and lack of accountability. You just hope it's to a small degree.

You think Trump is doing it for kicks? Trump campaigned and raised money and sold influence just like anybody else, so I don't know why anybody is surprised that he's continuing the pattern. He's a politician and it's what they do.

The GOP at the national level focuses on holding on to power. The left focuses on wielding power.

You mean it's going to be really hard for the bank to dump the homes and attempt to recoup some of their losses. You're describing people who will just walk away if the balance sheet is bad enough.

The fact that trannies are mentally ill isn’t debatable. Folks who are struggling with mental issues shouldn't be allowed in the military.
It doesn't even matter if they're mentally ill or not. If the Commander in Chief decides this is the policy going forward, that's it. End of discussion. We exclude people from service for a multitude of reasons, this is just another one to add to the list.

Jackson found out what a lot of institutions have found out the hard way: somebody eventually has to work and be competent. There's a lot of inertia in the government machine, and probably people down the line who will do their jobs no matter how incompetent leadership is, but eventually shite breaks and someone has to actually lead and make hard choices instead of just redirecting public money to their posse.
You can get away with a local banana republic for a time, but the collapse is inevitable if you don't elect a minimally competent person every now & then.
