At this point, Trump will probably win in '24 and immediately kill off the project
Getting more than a little annoyed by the political tennis, back and forth and nothing actually getting done because everything that is done gets undone as soon as the other party takes back control
Isn't Trump in danger of being taken off the ballot due to something about being involved in a treacherous act? IIRC it was something about an amendment to the constitution introduced after the civil war to stop Southern soldiers from participating in politics.
Yes, and if it actually gets used to prevent him from running I will be stunned.
One judge already ruled that he did, indeed, incite insurrection, but then weaseled out by saying something to the effect of "it doesn't specify presidents in the amendment" in their ruling so they did absolutely nothing about it.
Hope springs eternal and all, but he seems immune to consequences. Again, hoping that changes, but I'm not holding my breath.
It's incredibly hard for the government to get anything done that takes more than 8 years. Even if you don't end up changing presidential parties, trying to keep the house and senate out of the budgets is a serious challenge.
Even if they can keep people out of the piggy bank trying to get the corporations to follow through with their end of the deal It's like herding cats.
Billions have been sunk into rural broadband with almost no penetration.
As much as I hate musk, The only way we're going to get people back on the moon and out to Mars Will be because of government leveraging private industry.
Will he cancel it though? Or will "Trump Trains" become a thing?
