Saw an article saying Mike Johnson voted for it but wanted the Senate to make changes to it, which the Senate didn't do. I think this is a case of Trump being an idiot and expecting others to take the fall for him.
Trump: "I will say publicly that I want them released so it doesn't look like I'm trying to hide something. The Republicans in the House and Senate will take the fall for me."
Republicans in the house: "I'm not going to take the fall being the one who blocked this, not after Trump has said he wants them released. I am not going to have those crazy MAGAs eating my face. The Senate will block this for me."
Republicans in the Senate: "Fuck that, I'm not taking the fall for blocking this, Trump can veto it if he wants."
Trump thinks people are actually loyal to him, instead of "loyal as long as they benefit from it personally." His next step will be to ask the DoJ to say they are part of an ongoing investigation to give him an excuse to veto it. "I wanted it released. All the Republicans wanted in released. DoJ says we can't."
And all the people not asking why all the people who said the files were a hoax and didn't exist are now trying to release them will accept it.
If you own something necessary for survival, that is in short supply, that you don't need and isn't being used, and you don't sell it to someone who does need it because it will be worth more if you continue to hoard it unused, that is greedy.
You shouldn't be allowed to own residential property you don't live on. There needs to be a way for people to move so after 3 months of owning a property that is not your primary residence taxes go through the roof and double every year.
"What about renters?"Basement suites / duplexes exist. An apartment building will be better taken care of when the owner has to also live in the apartment building.
The only way to stop being gay is to never touch her again, otherwise you're touching someone who has touched a dick and by the transitive property that makes you gay. Touching your wife is gay.
I was going to say that sounds great and we won't eat him. Then I opened the link and saw that he's giving his money to the Bill & Malinda Gates Foundation and is conditional on Bill and Milenda Gates still being alive and involved. Why do his charitable donations have to go to a different Billionaire?
Religion does this to them, the systematic and merciless repression of sexuality causes it to become an immense burden.
Not just for the ones in the closet either. Hetero people are told their entire lives that sex is bad and internalize that their desires are evil, then they get married and you expect them to suddenly have a healthy sexual relationship?
If you're having sex with a woman, you're having sex with someone that likes dick. People who like dick are gay. Having sex with a gay person makes you gay.
Which is what I am doing: evaluating him on what he does and does not do. Not what "he may or may not be planning to do at some undisclosed time in the future."
Whether the concept of billionaires is bad is irrelevant when deciding whether one specific billionaire is bad.
Threre is no such thing as an ethical billionaire. An ethical billionaire doesn't remain a billionaire. If a suddenly recieved a billion dollars I'd be looking into the best way to donate most of it.
I'm sure I could survive for the rest of my life just fine on $500 million dollars, and whatever causes I'm donating my money to know what they need and how to spend it better than I would by offering them a couple of rooms on my third yacht.
