We seem to have hit the point where a civil engineer 2 brick layers and the town drunk are voting on if beams are necessary.

I mean, most people didn't vote for Project 2025, which is exactly what Trump is implementing, despite having lied about not knowing about it during the campaign.

Also, I'm wondering why we suddenly now care about democracy; if we did in 2016, Trump wouldn't have had a first term. If we had after his conviction, the judge in NY state would have taken the jury's democratic decision seriously and handed him to the maximum sentence, presidential election be damned.

Come on. There was plenty of media attention around Project 2025 before the election. This is exactly what people voted for.

Did I miss the vote we had on broadband speed goals, or whether we should publish prices?

Get outta here with that. Most of Trump's outrageous policies are incredibly unpopular, even among his base. He's just enacting the wildly unpopular Project 2025, which he denied ever hearing of while hiring 70% of its authors into his administration.

News to me. I read liberal and conservative sites; I think you are dead wrong from what I’ve seen.

The most common comment I see on conservative sites is “I voted for this” “This is what I voted for” or some variation. Everything except the handling of the Epstein information.
