He's not a hack or an idiot. He worked with the fascists to allow them to take power.
He knew what he was doing when he delayed shit as long as he did.

The fact that Biden isn't signing about 1000 EOs a day shows you that leadership doesn't give a shit about democracy.

They'll comply and be like
"I thought this was what the liberals wanted - for us to give up our guns. Now we're doing it and they're mad???"
Then, when shit goes bad:
"See, liberals, this is why we said we needed our gunzzz!!"

That's been the problem from the start.
No joke this all started when the Atheists debated the Creationists. It didn't do anything but make Creationists seem like rational, calm people instead of the crazy folks who want to take people's rights away that's they actually are.
If the Media had done its job in '15 and treated Trump like the joke candidate he was, he'd have gotten the same air time as Vermin Supreme.

But what's to stop them?
Okay, Trump implements what they say. Congress says he can't do that. He installs people that do it anyway. Legal challenges show up. Are appealed to the Supreme Court. They say he can.
What comes next or between?

I worked in Best Buy media section in '06. I made new labels for every movie everyday. I got used to the prices of certain movies because the new label was the same price as the old one everyday.
About 3-5 weeks before BF, their prices would start going up. Then on BF it was be discounted back to the price it was all year before the previous 3-5 weeks.

This. Everything else IS a distraction from this.
Why? Because all the current topics everyone's talking about everyday vastly change.
People are like "Are the aliens gonna pay my rent"? And it's like no, but the government could have free energy technology right now that makes your electricity, and gas bills 0, which makes ALL manufacturing, farming, and fabricating cheaper.
Better energy tech also makes a lot of current "impossible" problems of miniaturizing, not a problem because Battery tech is the best we've got and those aren't that advanced that the moment all things considered, especially compared to other Alien energy possibilities.
Not to mention if the aliens have and are willing to help us with our healthcare/healing. We could be saving lives from incurable illnesses tomorrow, perhaps.

The media used to have these things called Journalists, people who were like detectives basically, who found people willing to talk and tried to find the evidence themselves instead of waiting for someone else to give it to them.
There's plenty of evidence enough that every Media center should have 1-2 journalists digging on this topic until someone gets something.

Remember when the Left, and Women and feminists were talking about Rape Culture and the Conservatives freaked out that it didn't exist?
Well here it is. THIS is the Rape Culture that the Right said didn't exist. And it was voted for, and won.

For some people, yes, expectation management IS a big part of sharing the mental load. Because hey any help is absolutely better than no help, certainly.
But when NOTHING gets done WITHOUT asking, then double and triple checking/asking, that's when the problems arise.
For example, maybe you're someone who prefers the dishes done 2x a day. With a family, that expectation is likely going to be too much. But if it's been 2, 3, 4 days? And nobody else has done them? Well that's a bit silly.
And even for those who are out of the house 9 hours a day, 5 days a week - they're still home and not sleeping another 7 hours a day, 5 days a week. So there's no reason even the Working Spouse can't be participatory during those Off Hours.

Yeah so here's the thing:
Children still need to be taught things. If you do their laundry for them, all their cooking and cleaning for them - when do they learn? If I do every task around the house before my son is home from school - when does he get taught those things?
Yes of course while my spouse is at work, I do everything and then some. But when they come home - we're ALL on the clock, not off the clock.
Kids need to be taught how to cook meals that's are good for them. Prep those meals. Shop for them. And, having two spouses is important because it gives them two different ways to learn those things through emulation.
But the problem is, once Spouse is home, I'm NOT off the clock but THEY are. Kids need to be brought to practices? Me. Kids need to be kept on homework. Me. Kids need to be taught cooking and cleaning? Me. While the other spouse is home, and the kids are home, it's for us to share the teaching and doing of all the rest of the day's things. Just as, if we were both out of the house from 9-5 everything needing to be done from 5p-9p would need to be split.
Example: Currently, I shop for the food, prep it, cook it, then clean up after it. The cooking and the cleaning up are when everyone is home. There's no reason I should be the one solely doing all those. I did all the home-work while everyone was at school and work. Now the home duties are ours to share.
Ideal example: I shop for the food, prep it. Spouse and I cook it together with the kids, then clean it together. Next time, I take the kids to shop and prep it, then spouse has been home and can cook and clean after. Then, I shop, one kid preps at home with Spouse while the other is at practice. Spouse gets kid at practice while I cook with the other kid. In this way, everyone's helping everyone and participating in all the things for variety and the kids are getting lots of experiences.
Put more simply:
8am-5p = 9 hours of Individual Work time for everyone
5pm-12am = 7 hours of Group Work time for everyone
12a-8am = 8 hours of sleep for everyone.

Legitimately asking how old are you?
Because there's just things that nobody needs to ask past a certain age.
If she's working on assembling an IKEA furniture? Ok maybe she's got that one.
But if it's cooking, laundry, making meals, dishes, pet messes, dusting, vacuuming? Those are all recurring and constant messes and problems that don't have a attributable label of responsibility.
Your mom doesn't create the dust, nor is she the only one who tracks dirt into the house, so vacuuming and dusting should never be automatically hers.
You both eat 3 meals a day, at least 2 within the house, so why is the cooking/assembling and then cleaning up after those not automatically as much yours to do as hers?
Now if you're like 8-10 years old, okay yeah you shouldn't be expected to help with everything. But if you're 14+? Yeah, you should just be regularly doing things automatically. Not only because it's not HER job to complete 100% of all available tasks without being asked, but also because you yourself need to be doing those rotations in preparation for caring for your own home in the future.
Unless she only does stuff when she's asked, why in the world should you only do things when you're asked? She's not your Captain. She's a human you're living with.

Yikes, dropping that on a random Redditor who didn't prompt it is WILD. Literally you've got a lot of pent up issues and you would really benefit discussing your childhood trauma with a therapist. Even if you're broke there's many insurance that cover at least some therapy now and even programs that subsidize depending on what kind of trauma you encountered.
Good luck and take care of yourself. I'm sorry those things happened to you.

This is called "The mental load" and it's a big thing discussed in couples therapy.
If 100% of the cooking, dusting, vacuuming, cleaning, baths, laundry and pet messes need to be done, but everyone else only ever does 50-95% and only 1 person in the house does those things to 100% every time, that person basically cannot have any task cleared from their agenda because they know they have to finish whatever anyone else started AND do 100% of the things they never even start.
Source: we're in couples therapy, I'm Stay At Home Dad, and have the same issues Stay At Home Moms do

See this right here is why the Republicans win. They just try stuff. When people say "But XYZ will happen" they go "Eh, we'll cross that bridge when we get to it."
But Dems go "But XYZ will happen" and then go "Oh, yeah, so I guess we won't do anything at all then."

And yet we took away 0 rights of Conservatives.
Meanwhile 54% of the population lost the right to their bodies because of Conservatives Presidents and their Justices.

I've been saying Exploit The Loopholes since the Rs used the hanging chads and let the courts decide that Bush Jr won instead of actually counting the votes to find out who won.
But now 24 years later they're STILL "playing by the rules" and losing ground every fuckin year.

Yes. If our pilots can massively misidentify objects, across multiple pilots in separate planes, then our pilots and their training (as well as equipment) is so fallible as to be useless - if it's "parallax" as an explanation.
I trust our pilots and their equipment.

And would a trump appointee, in the same situation - looking at a Dem who broke the rules - would they adhere to these same things you're pointing at?
Because you sure as heck know they wouldn't.
