Transphobe Elon Musk's investment in MAGA payed off.
Trump’s pick of Elon Musk is paying off too.

You should think about why that change occurred. Why was the entirety of American culture accepting just 30 years ago?
America was too busy fighting wars to deal with domestic issues. Vietnam, North Korea, Japan, etc.

Oh Ok, I’ll be sure to avoid those the most.
That is a good starting point.

Here's a look at Trump orders the courts have halted:
DOGE
Retirees and union members filed a legal challenge to the Treasury Department's decision to allow staffers from Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, access to the federal government’s massive payment and collections system — and the personal data housed in it.
Arguing that the move violated federal privacy laws, they're seeking an order barring DOGE from accessing the data and requiring the return of any data that has already been harvested. The Justice Department has agreed to restrict some access to the systems pending the results of a full hearing on the matter on Feb. 24.
In a related case this week, a group of union members filed a suit seeking to block DOGE, which Trump created, from accessing confidential information from the Labor Department. U.S. District Judge John D. Bates heard arguments in that case Friday and denied the request for a temporary restraining order. He said he had "concerns" about the alleged activity by DOGE but that the plaintiffs had not established standing.
Nineteen states, led by New York, filed a similar suit Friday, arguing Musk's access to personal data was unconstitutional.
USAID
On Thursday night, a pair of unions sued the Trump administration over its efforts to dismantle the U.S. Agency for International Development.
At an emergency hearing Friday in Washington D.C. federal court, U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols said he would pause a midnight deadline for USAID to be stripped down to a few hundred workers. The announcement came just hours before 2,200 USAID employees were scheduled to be placed on administrative leave, which would have taken effect at 11:59 p.m. ET Friday.
Nichols said he would be issuing a “very limited” written temporary restraining order before midnight. The order was issued shortly before 11 p.m.
Government buyouts
As part of Trump's effort to downsize the federal workforce, the Office of Personnel Management recently announced a mass "deferred resignation" program that would allow workers to resign now but get paid through September. The stated deadline to accept the offer was Thursday night, and a senior administration official said earlier in the day that 60,000 people hadaccepted.
Labor unions for federal workers sued to stop the program, arguing that the Trump administration does not have legal authority to offer such buyouts.
A federal judge in Boston blocked the government Thursday from implementing the buyouts until at least Monday, when he will have a hearing on the issue.
One consequence of the judge's order is that it also extended how long workers have to respond to the resignation offer.
“We are grateful to the Judge for extending the deadline so more federal workers who refuse to show up to the office can take the Administration up on this very generous, once-in-a-lifetime offer,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told NBC News in a statement.
Birthright citizenship
One of the most controversial of Trump's executive orders was one called “Protecting the Meaning and Value of American Citizenship,” which seeks to restrict birthright citizenship. It seeks to limit such citizenship to people who have at least one parent who is a U.S. citizen or permanent resident, and it says that those born to parents who are in the country legally but temporarily will no longer be automatically guaranteed citizenship, including those with high-skill work visas and student visas.
A number of lawsuits across the country are challenging the order. Federal judges in Maryland and Washington state this week issued nationwide preliminary injunctions blocking it from taking effect.
In his ruling Thursday, U.S. District Judge John C. Coughenour wrote, "Citizenship by birth is an unequivocal constitutional right."
The judge in Seattle wrote, "The President cannot change, limit or qualify this Constitutional right via an executive order."
The Justice Department appealed the Seattle decision Thursday night.
Funding freeze
A pair of federal judges temporarily blocked a federal aid funding freeze directed by the Trump administration in response to his executive orders.
A memo from the Office of Management and Budget last week directed federal agencies to “temporarily pause all activities related to obligation or disbursement of all Federal financial assistance, and other relevant agency activities that may be implicated by the executive orders” pertaining to topics like foreign aid and diversity, equity and inclusion programs.
The memo said the pause would allow the administration to review which programs are “consistent” with Trump’s agenda.
The vaguely worded memo was withdrawn after confusion about what aid would be halted spread and people and organizations reported being unable to access systems to receive federal aid.
In a ruling Friday, U.S. District Judge John J. McConnell in Rhode Island signed off on a temporary restraining order after the memo was withdrawn, noting that Leavitt had tweeted to the public that “This is NOT a rescission of the federal funding freeze. It is simply a rescission of the OMB memo."
The judge found the White House's actions appeared to violate the law. “Federal law specifies how the Executive should act if it believes that appropriations are inconsistent with the President’s priorities — it must ask Congress, not act unilaterally,” he wrote.
Before U.S. District Judge Loren AliKhan issued her ruling Monday in the separate Washington, D.C., case, she noted that even after the memo was withdrawn, there were “individuals who are still having issues accessing funding platforms.”
“That indicates to me the memo is still doing some work,” she said.
Transgender inmates
Another of Trump’s orders targeted transgender inmates, saying the federal Bureau of Prisons was now required to ensure that “males are not detained in women’s prisons.”
That led to two lawsuits filed on behalf of four transgender women prisoners who were scheduled to be transferred to men's facilities. They argued that the order constituted cruel and unusual punishment because they would be at serious risk of violence and sexual assault in a facility for men.
Two judges blocked the inmates from being moved.
In a suit involving three of the prisoners, U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth in Washington, D.C., concluded that “the public interest in seeing the plaintiffs relocated immediately to male facilities is slight at best.”
Lamberth noted that "by the defendants’ own admission, there are only about sixteen male-to-female transgender women housed in female penitentiaries, including the plaintiffs.” He said the government had not even alleged the three prisoners “present any threat to the female inmates housed with them, or that this threat cannot be managed locally by prison staff."

You seem knowledgeable about this stuff. Why don't you focus on debating and distilling this information instead of your trolling which no doubt wastes hours of your life every day that could be devoted to more interesting pursuits.

While pedophiles are one of the most oppressed groups in America even more so than other rapists and serial killers, I do think it's worth it for the betterment of society to oppress certain groups such as pedophiles, rapists, serial killers, trans people, and Juggalos
You should consider yourself an extreme liberal.

Catholics believe the holy Spirit is God, not sure why you would debate somebody who agrees with you that the Trinity of the Father the son and the holy Ghost are God
Who invented the Trinity in Christianity?
Tertullian
Tertullian (155-200 CE) was the first to use the Latin term 'trinity'. He described it as a "divine economy" as in the household or monarchy of God. God the Father laid out the divine plan, God the Son carried out the will of the Father, and God the Spirit motivated the will of God in believers (Adversus Praxean, 27).

GP, when we started this conversation and up to the point that you posted that response, my impression was that we at least had a degree of mutual respect for each other’s positions. That kind of respect, even if it lacks much in the way of agreement, is a prerequisite for me to engage in long form discussions like this in a forum. There’s a reason I haven’t done it in a while.If you want to troll me and be pedantic instead of engaging with my points, then yeah, it might be better for this to end. It’s not the way I wanted it to go, but if we’re going to hit this roadblock again instead of continuing to discuss the policy we’ve both been focused on before that, then it’s probably not worth either of our time.
Too bad, I was starting to enjoy reading your posts.

He has behaved cruelly is like a lie.She may interpret it that way but it's of course good to opposed things harming your children such as trans ideology which is pedaled by pedophiles as can be seen by the early forefathers of the movement
Elon Musk’s daughter Vivian Jenna Wilson painted a scathing picture of her father in an interview on Thursday, describing the billionaire as a cruel absentee father, who bullied her for appearing queer and feminine, then lied about her medical care as part of his recent turn towards attacking transgender people.
Musk, during a recent interview with psychologist and conservative commentator Jordan Peterson, misgendered Wilson, used her dead name, and described her coming out as transgender as being “killed by the woke mind virus.”

Actually 3, as of 2025, Elon Musk is not married. However, his personal life remains eventful. The billionaire recently welcomed his twelfth child with Shivon Zilis, an executive at his company Neuralink.
Elon Musk has confirmed he and Shivon Zilis welcomed their third baby via surrogate, his 12th child overall.

Yes, and that stopped in 1942. It’s been roughly 80 years since the US imposed tariffs, and quite a while since many of the nations we trade with has used tariffs. It’s not “pretending” to say that that’s been the standard for trade for quite a while, that many presidents since then have focused on free trade policy,
America did not have tariffs before because America was the only superpower left after Europe collapsed. The war made America the manufacturing centre of the world where America enjoyed trade surpluses against every country it traded with including Japan and Canada.

"The word God is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses, the Bible a collection of honorable, but still primitive legends which are nevertheless pretty childish. " Albert Einstein 1954
Albert Einstein was a Jew and like the Jews before him rejects the Bible and Christianity.
Did Albert Einstein go to the US?
Following the Nazi takeover of political power in Germany in 1933 and the onset of persecution of the German Jews, Einstein renounced his German citizenship and immigrated to the United States to take the position of Professor of Theoretical Physics at Princeton.

To me,Nonstandard methods seem more useful in people advancing math 'itself.
As of 2022, the U.S. was below average in math but above average in science compared with other member countries in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), a group of mostly highly developed, democratic nations: U.S. students ranked 28th out of 37 OECD member countries in math.
Created:
Math: Japan ranks in the top 10 globally, while the U.S. lags behind in the mid-30s. Science: Japan also performs significantly better, ranking well above the U.S. average. Reading: While the U.S. performs closer to Japan in reading, it still falls short. Japan: Approximately $10,000–$11,000 per student per year United States: Approximately $15,000–$18,000 per student per year, depending on the state
That is why America bombed Japan. Japan was way ahead of America.
