US continues to go backward...

Gotta love a former local Kansas City politician and political activist that believes it is “inclusion” to kick-out Chick-Fil-A (because they “do not align with the morals of the community”) from the KCI Airport …and “inclusion” for a business to sell Harris campaign merch, but merchandise from the opponent is horrible and that company should be boycotted.

 
Sorry but ONLYselecting KJV Bibles is factually establishing a state religion. Where’s the Koran, where’s the Tora, where’s the other common religions teachings in this country? Majority clearly doesn’t rule in this country, look at the electoral college as one example. My Dad retired from Superintendent but still enjoyed going to board meetings at times. More than once the Southern Baptist church in our community got a few board members elected and were wanting an actual prayer, not a moment of silence “. The board president asked for comments, then asked Dad what he thought, He surprised them by saying it was a great idea. Flabbergasted they asked why. He said: we have every variety of Christian churches in our community, along with Native American churches and atheist also. What I want is a calendar of whose praying on a certain day so I can know when to leave the kids at home, and not be subjected to religions that they don’t want their kids exposed to. They tabled the idea. Public schools have to teach every students that walk through the doors. Not just those that believe exactly like you. Schools don’t tell the Churches what to do, and it should be reciprocal. Schools should remain secular. If you want religion in your child’s upbringing then take them to church, synagogue, or whatever fits your faith. But don’t expect tax monies taken from public schools to supplement your private school choice. That’s just another tax giveaway to people who already can afford it.
Christian right Republicans hate government, think it can't do anything right and then turn around and think it can do prayer right in schools.

How do these people keep getting into church leadership positions?
 
So I now exoect environmental protections to roll back and support for Ukraine to end in January. Good luck Ukraine, hope Europe can support you more. Hope we actually participate in NATO if needed.

If RFK takes over HHS, support for vaccination is probably going to plummet, and who knows what other weird crap is going to happen there.

If Elon gets the position they talked about and the mass firings happen (current Fed Gov employment in DC, MD and VA. Is over 280k people), the economy over here is going to suffer (even if they only cut 10% that's 28k jobs in a small geographic area) and the basic functions of normal government support will be hamstrung.

Hope there isn't the purging of military leadership that he talked about cause that would be really not good either.

But hey, one positive is maybe this means Thomas and Alito will retire. Only they'll get replaced by more Federalist society members.

Awesome. Just awesome.

But, good thing Trump already pretty much fixed inflation a couple months ago just by winning the election last night.

As a federal worker who is 9 months, 14 days from my earliest possible retirement, I'm probably being overly anxious but this has me scared $#!tless. Especially if the Rs control both chambers and Trump really does put Elon in charge of "efficiency" or whatever he called it.
 
It is what it is.

I firmly believe that the republic will survive.

I guess we'll see.
I agree, the country will survive. But that doesn't mean that people won't suffer for it. Some things can't just pause for 4 years while we wait for him to leave without having a negative impact.

You're cool. If (when?) anything stupid happens it's going to be tied up in the courts for years.

I understand. Don't get me wrong, I don't like the way my country is headed. I don't like what this says about the future my daughters are likely to see.

In the end, we get the leaders we deserve.

You'll only have to last 7 months by the time he's in office so you're probably good... depends on how long it takes them to confirm Elon and to push termination paperwork.

But to be safe make sure you start being really vocal about how awesome Trump is. It might save you.

That would probably work and that's a bigger problem than any partisan bickering.

As a Minnesota resident my immediate concern is any potential naturally disaster and retaliation from the federal government based on who the opposition VP candidate was. It's a little crazy that this is the first thing that would come to mind but that's where we are today.
