You are talking about a democratic government..
Nope. Congress is part of a constitutional republic. Also an independent entity that would need to be eliminated for a dictatorship to exist. An impossibility as they control military spending..
you really think the military doesn't follow orders?
There's no military that works for free unless they are oppressed rebels. Military today is part of the swamp.
Zero chance the same people that want global war will listen to Trump about anything. Especially for no money.
Maybe you don't have a clue about the military either.
Don't equate me to your admitted misunderstandings, lol.

The housing crisis of 2008 was exacerbated by the moral hazard created by the expectation that major financial institutions would be bailed out by the government, particularly through agencies like the FDIC. Banks engaged in risky lending practices and investments, such as issuing subprime mortgages and heavily leveraging mortgage-backed securities, under the assumption that they were "too big to fail." This belief encouraged reckless behavior, as financial institutions felt shielded from the full consequences of their actions, knowing that federal intervention would likely prevent their collapse. This dynamic played a critical role in inflating the housing bubble and magnifying the ensuing financial meltdown.
The FDIC's role in the housing crisis was primarily linked to the sense of security it provided to both banks and their customers. By insuring deposits, the FDIC reassured depositors that their money was safe, even if the bank engaged in risky financial activities. This insurance reduced the incentive for depositors to monitor banks' behavior, allowing banks to pursue higher-risk strategies with less fear of losing their customer base. Additionally, the implicit understanding that the FDIC, along with other government entities, would step in to prevent major bank failures fostered an environment where banks felt emboldened to take greater risks, contributing significantly to the financial instability that precipitated the housing crisis.

Now we have the FDIC...
A key component to the housing crisis as banks KNEW the feds were obligated to bail them out for bad investment decisions. Pure arbitrage. Most people don't have the IQ to delve into all the problems with our banking system and regulations, but they do know when groceries get too expensive and their standard of living drops.

Did you know that prior to Roosevelt 80% of banking was done by local banks. That most of our food was locally grown but now comes mostly from major corporations and we had a ton of small business owners.
As far as private farming goes, Wickard v Filburn eliminated that. Thanks to FDR.
And yes, too big to fail was all set in motion by FDR. That's the how and why govt bails out billionaire banks before taking care of the people.

I have read several studies on the effectiveness of welfare about several years ago for a series of debates I did, where I defeated the liberal multiple times. I remember the conclusions of the Studies I cited from the CATO institute.
As I suspected, didn't want to bore you with repetition.

And you have convinced yourself that high tax rates somehow make poor people more wealthy. okay boomer.
Jesus once said "you will always have the poor" and the studies of the past 50 years that show welfare doesn't affect poverty levels proves this.
welfare does not reduce poverty; it may actually increase it.
There are a lot more studies than this Harvard study, but you know most of them.

Still not a dictatorship. Congress independently is making the decisions. They can decide to do whatever they want to. They share the responsibility and the blame for anything that happens and can get voted out. That's not a dictatorship. Plus Congress doesn't always agree with Trump. That's hyperbole.
You know how easy it is to fall into the hyperbole trap, right?
As long as he can send the military against the...
Military won't march one mile without a paycheck, and the Congress controls the money and appropriations as the most powerful branch of the government.

his entire cabinet already said he's not fit to serve the country and they see that as somehow a conspiracy against him, not a warning sign.
And Biden's entire cabinet, including Kamala, said Biden was fit to serve and run for president. Can't trust political swamp creatures on either side. Use your own judgement, or be a sheep. Appeal to swamp authority is the mark of the lowest tier of existence.

I find it interesting that the very people that fail basic civics on how government works also believes dictatorship of a single person could happen in a country with 3 separate and independent branches. Oligarchy, maybe. Dictatorship, impossible, even for a schizophrenic.

Seemingly, continuing to call Trump "Hitler" post assassination attempt polls poorly in focus groups.
As a result, the new corporate oligarch mantra is "Trump is weird"

Why do you hate basketball.
Weird take.
The average height of individuals in Africa can vary significantly depending on the region and population group. On average, the height of African men ranges from about 5 feet 5 inches (165 cm) to 5 feet 9 inches (175 cm), while the height of African women typically ranges from about 5 feet 2 inches (158 cm) to 5 feet 5 inches (165 cm).
The percentage of Black Americans who play in the NBA is extremely small. Given that the NBA has approximately 450 players and the Black American population is about 42 million, the percentage of Black Americans in the NBA is roughly 0.001%.
The presence of tall Black NBA players, often celebrated for their athletic prowess and remarkable talent, should evoke a profound sense of sorrow, considering the historical context from which some of these genetic traits may have emerged. During the era of slavery, enslaved Africans were subjected to unimaginable cruelty and dehumanization. Among the many brutal practices employed by slave owners was the selection and breeding of individuals based on physical traits that were deemed advantageous for labor.
Tallness and physical strength were often prioritized by slave traders and owners who sought to maximize the productivity of their enslaved workforce. This ruthless selection process was a grim aspect of the dehumanizing institution of slavery, where human beings were reduced to mere tools of labor, their worth measured solely by their ability to endure grueling physical tasks.
The legacy of this horrific past lingers in subtle and haunting ways. The extraordinary height and athletic abilities of many Black NBA players today can, in part, be traced back to the cruel breeding and trading selections made by slave traders centuries ago. This connection is a stark reminder of the deep scars left by slavery, where the bodies of Black individuals were commodified and exploited based on physical stature.
The joy and admiration inspired by basketball talents should always be tempered with a somber recognition of the historical injustices that have shaped their genetic lineage. In doing so, we honor the resilience and humanity of those tall who endured such suffering, while we also mourn for those short that were often worked to death and not allowed to breed by slave masters.

The "Cat Lady" Stereotype: An Examination of Its Impact and Origins
Introduction
The term "cat lady" has long been embedded in popular culture, often carrying with it a slew of negative connotations. This stereotype depicts women who own multiple cats as lonely, eccentric, and socially inept. While seemingly harmless on the surface, the "cat lady" label can be fatal, reinforcing outdated gender norms and perpetuating unfair judgments and suicide. This essay explores the origins of the "cat lady" stereotype, its societal implications, and the need to move beyond such limiting labels.
Origins of the "Cat Lady" Stereotype
The origins of the "cat lady" stereotype can be traced back to historical and cultural attitudes towards women and pets. Historically, women who were not married or did not have children were often viewed with suspicion or pity. Cats, being independent and often associated with witchcraft and mystery, became linked to these women, leading to the creation of the "cat lady" image. Over time, this stereotype was reinforced by media portrayals in movies, television shows, and literature, cementing the association between single women and an overabundance of cats.
Societal Implications
The societal implications of the "cat lady" stereotype are significant. It perpetuates the notion that a woman's worth is tied to her relationship status and her adherence to traditional family roles. By labeling women who own multiple cats as "cat ladies," society implicitly criticizes their lifestyle choices and personal preferences. This can lead to feelings of shame and inadequacy among women who do not conform to societal expectations. Furthermore, the stereotype reinforces the idea that women who choose to live independently and care for pets are somehow less fulfilled or successful than those who follow conventional paths.

Furthermore, the stereotype reinforces the idea that women who choose to live independently and care for pets are somehow less fulfilled or successful than those who follow conventional paths.
Challenging Gender Norms
Challenging the "cat lady" stereotype requires a broader examination of gender norms and societal expectations. Personal fulfillment and happiness do not hinge on conforming to traditional roles. Many women find joy and companionship in their relationships with pets, and this should be celebrated rather than ridiculed. Additionally, the stereotype overlooks the diverse reasons why someone might own multiple cats, such as a love for animals, a commitment to animal rescue, or simply a preference for feline company.

Moving Beyond Limiting Labels
Moving beyond the "cat lady" stereotype involves embracing a more inclusive and understanding perspective on individual choices. Society should celebrate the diversity of lifestyles and the various ways single women find happiness and fulfillment. This includes respecting and valuing the relationships people have with their pets, regardless of their marital or family status. By shedding these limiting labels, we can create a more accepting and supportive environment for everyone while also reducing the global carbon footprint of human fetuses.

Conclusion
The "cat lady" stereotype, often portrayed humorously, carries harmful implications that reinforce outdated gender norms and unfair judgments. Its origins with a regressive societal impact is a funny stereotype. We should embrace cat ladies as a sensible approach to population control.

All the Democrats had to do was pick the correct lie. It's a known fact that all political parties spin lies and talking points.
Choosing the "The border is secure" lie was a grand miscalculation. They should have chosen the "We will fix the border" lie.

Lol the border is NOT secure. What are you smoking today.
One side that lies and says "the border is secure"
And the other side that lies and says "we will fix the border"
One of those sides is going to win the election. All the Democrats had to do was pick the correct lie.

"The Trump Campaign" isn't a source. Show me a source where Trump the man wanted a Muslim ban.
You have never said "his campaign wanted it" you claimed THE MAN wanted it.
