My 6 year old daughter is less gullible than Trump.

I think what people cling to regarding the Constitution, is not that it protects democracy, but that it's intended to protect the public from authoritarian rule. It was written explicitly in response to the dictatorial behavior of King George lll.

The whole "democracy" part was always intended to be flawed, in favor of the wealthy landowners that wrote it...but the protections provided by it, were meant to prevent any future leader from ever threatening their personal freedoms.

It's really too bad they never hard-coded the steps necessary to actually prevent a dictator from taking power, though. That sure would have been useful right about now.

While the rest of us got a trillion dollars poorer.

Dump the chump.

Hasn't it always been about the cost to businesses? This is just them admitting it, for once.

That would be "the carrot". Trump prefers "the stick".

Once again...Trump doesn't seem to understand what words mean, and his lackeys are twisting themselves into pretzels trying to make it sound like he does.

You'll have to ask them.

Was that based on Zelenski saying that would never happen?

Except that being able to drive is often required to obtain, as well as hold down a job. So, it's not a matter of the license being a human right, it's what taking away someone's license would do to their ability to survive.

There is the basic human right that says once a person has served their time for a crime, they should be allowed to reintegrate back into society again. That means restoring their ability to access basic services that everyone else relies on....including a driver's license. Or do you think they should be penalized permanently?

Peanut butter and pork chops. It's poor man's satay.
