Trump administration 2024-2028

It's realpolitik time, and we'd all better get good at dealing with the opposite of everything that came before Trump 47... even the font styles have changed, apparently.

Font of ‘wasteful’ diversity: Trump’s state department orders return to Times New Roman

Memo from Marco Rubio reportedly said cutting Calibri from official communication would ‘abolish yet another wasteful DEIA program’

Priorities, right?

It would be applicable only to ESTA applications. It's a ridiculous proposal and strikes me as impractical as well as illiberal, but it's only a proposal at present.

For now - and just for one program, for now.

You can bet the social media search will be to detect any negative Trump posts.

The US should check Putin's posts /correspondence. Bet there would be tons of super negative Trump posts.

And since there’s no way humans are able to rip through that stuff that fast, they’re probably going to be firing those selectors into analytics programs that have scraped social media.

Any businesses or regions dependent on foreign tourism need to be shitting bricks.

Despite working with companies that do business in the US, I can't see myself visiting in the near future.

No chance that I am visiting there for some time.

The Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave....

It should read "The land of the not so free..."

I suppose the proposals defenders will advance the customary "we only intend to use it for X" argument, where "X" is usually some variation of Very Very Very Bad People.

I almost would like to see the regulation go ahead, just to see what the first administration after Trump's (or a Trump-like successor) would do. I think they'd be strangely comfortable with the new power. It would have the same flavour as the Obama administration's frantic attempts to turn off their drone assassination powers before handing over to Trump. "We use asserted presidential powers wisely."

The way I remember hearing it in Tinsel Town,

This is STILL the United States of America, god damn it! Los Angeles, California! Land of the free, home of the.. the ...

Rams and the Dodgers!

I just want to know when all the Canadian athletes who are currently on American teams in a fit of patriotism cancel their contracts, move back to Canada and join McDavid, Scheiffle, and other Canadians in Canada's NHL teams...
Same with those with MLB, NFL and NBA.....not many but still....

I remember draft BN returned by some mid level minion for the crime of "Having the wrong font"
