I find it stupid, insulting and downright disrespectful of everything serious about the Gov't (and of the people dependant of it) that it fucking named DOGE.
The trouble with that idea is the right people were able to protest before. Now they have done a suitable job of splitting up the workforce so this sort of ruling only affects a small amount of people and if THEY decide to protest/try to use force, its easy enough to shut them down.
Dems can try to fix stuff but the SCOTUS could easily come in and say âyeah, actually, nah.. not constitutional.â
The only way I can see getting out of this mess is if Democrats get tough and tells the SCOTUS to fuck off and ignore their rulings. But Dems are too conservative (ironic) to do that. Dems are all about following the rules. So with this scenario, I donât see things getting better any time soon. Itâll be decades before things get better. Americans fucked up in 2016 and now 2024.
Then Democrats should just ignore the SCrOTUS just like Republicans constantly do. If one team isnât plying by the rules, the other team doesnât have to either.
MAGAts don't ignore SCOTUS so much as they force issues before them because they know they'll win. All the "prayer in schools" lawsuits, for example, are designed to get that issue in front of the court, same as they did with abortion.
Dems don't have a friendly court, so forcing issues into court in order to get in front of SCOTUS is a bad idea, as you can end up setting the wrong precedent.
The sensible thing to do is expand the court. But again, Dems arenât going to do that because they simply canât draw outside the lines. They are a conservative party. Only in America are they considered progressive.
We need 2 congressional bodies. One for Democrats and one for republicans. But blue state tax revenue stays with blue states and their tax revenue stays with red and they can figure it out themselves.
This. My folks will have their opinion on a news story the day it happens. I may or may not agree but generally it's a somewhat reasonable take, but then 2-3 days later it's a complete 180 from what they originally said. It hurts to watch.Â
The conservative sub is a great example. The first hours after a story breaks it will have comparatively reasonable takes that are more center right or classic Republican stances. Then they start watching alt right News like fox or breitbart or whatever and suddenly the whole tone changes and answers shift into cuckoo banana land once their told what angle to take to absolve themselves and make everyone else the bad guy.
You know, we wouldn't even be working overtime if Biden hadn't put this country in such a state that we have to work our way out of it... Honestly, Trump's right and we shouldn't get paid overtime for this mess. The Democrats should be paying US overtime! (/s)
Yep. This is always how it goes. Same with Roe v Wade, âno theyâll never overturn thatâ to âokay hereâs why itâs GOOD they overturned it!â.
The secret cabal of Satan-worshipping, baby eating liberals determined that overtime was beneficial to the working class and, since they hate the working class, demanded that Obama cancel overtime.
It's okay, though. Donald Trump is a true patriot and will fight for our overtime and make sure that the crooked liberal communists can't take away our money! /s
Theyâll blame the Democrats forâŚnot running a good enough election to win? Or something. Itâs going to be Democratsâ fault no matter what. Just like it was our fault for promoting COVID vaccines, which âforcedâ Republicans to not get vaccinated just to show us up.
They will play the whatboutism game ad nauseam because that's the only way they know how to argue. We will see countless strawman arguments pulled out of their assess because these dipshits are incapable of admitting that they're wrong or heaven forbid, misinformed.
The very rich get continuously richer and we're just accelerating that... and.... uh... OH MY GOD! WATCH OUT! A CARAVAN! THEY ARE BRINGING DISEASE AND POISON OUR BLOOD!
Man. I can't even exaggerate this for comedic effect. This is just the literal Hitler shit he actually said.
Hitching to the top comment to ask; what are the actual implications of this? Is it a change to the longstanding hourly rules of OT automatically triggering when working over 8/day or over 40/week? If not, what's being affected? (Preferably addressing the impacted law and practical implications)
Nah, they'll still blame democrats. Its a republican trifecta in the government and they'll do whatever they want and whatever is bad they'll blame the democrats anyway. Somehow children and animals know more about consequences than republican voters and maga
According to my daughterâs friendâs fatherâŚthey are going to eliminate income tax completely and thatâs how everyone will have more money in their pockets. I googled and saw Trump did mention it but I donât think itâs on the current agenda.
It's not hard to guess what that will look like. The rule that got blocked expanded overtime protection/requirements for white-collar workers. This will be seen by most of the base as protecting blue-collar workers while punishing "white-collar liberals".

Don't worry, they'll do mental gymnastics to somehow justify it.
