Yeah Proton already burned that bridge. "Politically Neutral" is no longer an option for them.

So you would suggest that Trump initiated the ban just so he could block it at the last minute, in an effort to make himself look good? If the Donvict hadn't gotten himself thrown out of office and had been able to see if through, there is no reality in which he then overturns his own ban at the last moment. He purely and only overturned it here because it was not seen as something He did, but something Biden did.

The premise that Trump pulled a bait and switch, deliberately initiating the ban specifically so he could "look good" by overturning it is absolutely idiotic. He overturned it because Biden finished it, and "Undo Biden" is one of his overriding directives.

Well the Donvict can fuck all the way off up his own ass. It's the Gulf of Mexico, and Denali.

At one point Trump literally suggested reducing reported Covid cases by just not testing. They genuinely think the important thing is not to talk about it.

Y'all misunderstood, the accusations of sexual assault, drunkenness, and financial mismanagement were considered qualifications by this administration.

They're getting exactly what they voted for, but probably not what they wanted. But at least bLuE mAgA lost right guys?

Predict? He literally said it, out loud, before now.

If there's no sequel to a movie, what's the point of watching it?

The article itself clearly states there is nothing particularly alarming about these numbers and that they fall within existing standards. The headline us unnecessarily alarmist.

No, and that's an incredibly stupid premise. Trump wasn't the one to push the Ban. He wasn't the one to keep it going to completion, and he sure didn't PLAN on not having a second consecutive term. He's just following his most basic programming of If Biden did(Thing); Undo(Thing)

Your Gloves comparison is pretty flawed, though.

We don't require everyone to wear a pair of gloves at all times. We don't put glove data on legal forms, we don't use gloves to classify a critical element of our sense of self. We don't make changing your glove type illegal, costly, or incredibly difficult. We don't make getting 4 or 6 finger gloves illegal. We don't force people with 6 fingers to get one chopped off. We don't exclude people who are missing a hand entirely from society. We don't publicly demonize people with 4 fingers.

Yes, the proportion of people impacted is small, but the impact to those people is not. We can't just call it "Good enough" because it works for 99% of the population when the 1% it definitely doesn't work for is being absolutely ruined by it, especially if the exceptions that serve that small population are being systematically eliminated so that their existence is either suffering or criminality.

Believe it or not, a lot of us are actually capable of being angry about more than one thing at a time.
