    Huh. So odd that, given how long ago this started, he just now decides to eliminate the law that this came from. During election year. Soooooo weird.

        Nah. I think it’s super convenient timing. This should’ve been one of the first things he did after winning the election. I think it’s bullshit he pulled this out during election season, obviously in an attempt to win voters over.

            Do you just come out of the box as a stupid cunt or do you actively try to be a stupid fuckin cunt? Where did they say they were voting Trump? Since when did it become totalitarian where someone can’t have complaints of the government they vote for? Why would you jump down their throat accusing them of voting conservative just for having issues with the governing powers decisions and timing? Without reason the only logic is that you are in fact a stupid fucking cunt.

            Whoa there buddy who said I was voting for THAT administration? It’s crazy, I know, but it’s possible to be critical of someone who has your vote, just an fyi.

      There needs to be something like the narcissists prayer for people who say stuff like this.

      Let’s call it the haters prayer.

      “He didn’t help.”

      “And if he did, it wasn’t even that great.”

      “And if it was, it’s not even really due to him”

      “And if it was, it still doesn’t matter due to $INSERT_WHATABOUTISM_HERE”

      “And if it still matters, he only did it to help himself (get elected).”

      Amen.

              Fuck if I know, do you know how long the process typically takes? I certainly don’t. I was googling this while walking the dog, I’m no expert.

              I work as a government contractor and from my experience things can be held up by the silliest little things, and processes take a lot of time.

              When the recent XZ security exploit, everyone was all worried about it nearly making it’s way into Debian, a popular flavor of Linux, and at work we just laughed and said that means we’d have to worry about it it in 10 years because we’re that slow.

                Well then, yeah, I’d say it’d earn them a little grace, and I appreciate you actually talking about it instead of going down the “uR uH rUsSiAn TrOlL111one!” path. I still think it’s convenient timing, but it’s nice to see this was at least set into motion awhile back.

                  Yeah, an argument could be made that 2022 was a Senate election year, and this was fueled by that, but at that point we’re invalidating 2/4 years a president has to make changes.

                  On top of this, I wouldn’t be surprised by the first year being slow as they get situated, meaning year 3 is the only year that “sincere” change can be expected to be made, which is kind of…harsh. I’d hate for my accomplishments to only count 25% of the time.

                  I also really appreciate the discourse - I hope you have a great day.

                    Now that I think about it, didn’t Biden come into a locked GOP senate? I suppose it could be possible they were making it difficult as well maybe? Anyhow yeah, same. Thanks for the engaging conversation choom.

        This bill doesn’t affect me and I still think it’s suspiciously timed. So how is this narcissism? Genocide Joe sucks. Too say otherwise is lying to yourself and others

          I never said this was narcissistic, I meant that, similar to the moving goalposts of the narcissists prayer being used by a narcissist for justification, some look for more and more reasons to discount good things that others have done.
