Yeah, I started thinking it was some chud being funny because it's just such an odd mix of ideas. Unfortunate that it's probably just some sad radlib

Seems harsh, but I'm imagining this is a child or at least a younger person. Then again, maybe they just like coloring and are 40 idk. I think the optics are bad regardless of the message here, but this seems like a person on track to be a proper socialist at least?

Or can libs really co-opt this much shit at once? Of course they can, but damn

This is pretty much the point. Congress will initially approve the fund, but then it is basically up to the Trump admin to do whatever with it. I imagine there will be some infrastructure explanation similar to what the Biden admin planned to do. Likely the way the bill will be written will give them a lot of flexibility on how they spend the money.

Even if Dems take Congress during midterms, Trump could still have access to a large budget this way

I basically always dress like I'm about to go hiking, so fashion isn't really a thing for me, but Carhartt makes ripstop cargo pants that I like a lot. They're usually about $60 new, but sometimes I find them in thrift stores (never in my size). Anyway, they're super durable and loose enough for me to work/hike in them and they don't give me a lot of sensory issues. They don't do the swishing sound a lot of cheaper options do. The fabric is breathable enough for the mild summers where I live and I wear a base layer underneath during the winter.

Cargo pockets are nearly a requirement for me. I can fit a lot of snacks, gloves, etc. All the buttons (snaps on the pockets) and zippers are well made, reinforced pockets to clip your knife or a tool, gusseted crotch.

I've had one pair for about 3 years now and they are a little worn/faded in spots, but no holes yet. Since then I've bought a few more pairs. The only negatives are you can't really wear them for office settings in some places (Pacific Northwest doesn't seem to care) and I think the pants make me look more like a cop

All the domestic shit they've been up to was cool, but getting rid of USAID was a step too far?

One time my partner offered to drive this older lady who lived nearby to do some errands. Turns out her errands were basically going to a bunch of retail stores to complain at them about the silliest things, like how she let her store credit card expire or something like that. Shit they can't even really do anything about in the store. Partner didn't even know because they just sat in the car at first, but went inside and one of the workers explained the old lady does it a lot.

Sad, but also fuck her for manipulating my partner into helping her harass retail workers

At this point it's too late for them to do anything short of something really awesome. I would vote Dem the rest of my life if just one of them would do it..

He hasn't actually left office yet and they'll be picking a new person from the same party so probably not much different. I think it's happening in March?

Semiconductors and all kinds of other commercial uses for gold, but it is kind of specific given the rest of the list

Let's just add more lanes

There is a correlation between desegregation and a decline in public services, largely because racist white people want to keep segregating themselves so they started private schools and shit like that. I could definitely see a lib interpreting it in a way that results in blaming Rosa Parks. Even better if they really blame Claudette Colvin
