He was held responsible for lying to congress, not for cheating.

The derailment statistics are a bit misleading. A single car slipping a single wheel on the rail is considered a derailment.
The president doesn’t have the power to do that.
If Trump is talking, it’s a lie. At least he’s consistent in that regard.
I’m willing most of the undecided voters are Republicans who know Trump is awful. Anyone who was already voting against Trump is going to continue doing that.
My hope is that Kennedy will steal those votes from Trump.
I mean, there was, but the Republicans were doing it.
They’re a corporation. Of course they don’t care.
He might have just had a health emergency, so…
The difficulty is that our governments and voters are so polarized that an amendment banning the government from drowning puppies wouldn’t have a chance in hell of getting passed.
Half of the country wants the supreme court ruling to stay.
The supreme court has nothing to do with constitutional amendments. To propose one you need a 2/3 majority vote in both the house and senate (or 2/3 of states calling a constitutional convention, but no amendment has gone through this process). Then, it requires that 75% of the states ratify it.
There’s no chance the amendment will even get 2/3 of the congressional vote, much less 75% of states agreeing to it.
Yup, it was all about the taxes. If you look at basically any study on vapes that has come out of the US, the methodology is designed to produce negative results.
If the FDA cared about public health they would have actually regulated the market, instead of guaranteeing the market was flooded by sketchy Chinese disposables which generate a shit ton of dangerous and hazardous waste.
They would also ban cigarettes if they actually cared.
They need to side with the companies on this. The FDA fucked things up royally to crush the industry.
Edit: if anyone wants to know how they did this, it’s because of the Premarket Tobacco Product Applicatios (PMTA) process.
Basically, for every single SKU you made, you had to submit the application which costs about $250k minimum. This means that if you have a line of 10 flavors in 4 different nicotine strengths, you’d need 40 applications. Their guidelines for the applications were also super vague, basically guaranteeing they could deny all of them.
And that’s just the most egregious thing they did. They also labeled anything relating to vaping a tobacco product, including wire and batteries. Which would also be subject to the PMTA process.
Not peacefully, anyway.
He doesn’t, though. They’re appointed for life, so they have no reason to bow to him.
They’re just awful people.
You still haven’t provided a solution. I didn’t claim to have one.
That’s not a solution. That’s just a statement.
Unless you can provide a legitimate way to do so, sit down and shut up.
Yeah, in the US they’d probably charge you $500, minimum.
Bold of you to assume it’ll get better
You’re assuming reason is involved here. Most of them vote R because that’s how they were brainwashed into voting.
