The Refried Presidency: Trump V 2.0 Pretty Hateful Machine/Fossil Fuel Boogaloo

Yeah but it's not as simple as "don't move there".

Using my Montana example, lets assume that one of the couple is originally from Montana. They avoid going back there but the Montana spouse inherits property from a relative there. Then a few years later, the Montana spouse dies. Does Montana even recognize the surviving marriage partner's claim on the property, since the marriage itself is not recognized?

 

Oh crap. You're right. They even put it in the State Constitution 20 years ago.

I don't think that Montana today would still do that.

 

Get your wills in order gays! < ducks >

More commonly, a married gay person gets terminally sick and moves home to Mom & Dad to help care for them because they can't afford it themselves, and the spouse is denied access to medical visits or almost anything else. What if those parents don't approve of the marriage? One might think this is a small concern, but tell that to people like Sounders or my uncle's partner.

 

I believe Congress passed a Respect for Marriage Act, or something like that, which recognizes marriages nationally. However, I believe there is a loophole that says states do not have to perform marriages if they don't want to.

 

That is a very sore spot for me, given my significant other died in Australia from a brain tumor and was staying with his family who were not receptive to me being part of his life.

 

@Sounders78 repping your post seems inappropriate but I'm very sorry that happened

 

Did I hear right? I thought they said on the news last night that Biden was planning to issue 'pardons' to various people including Pelosi, Schiff and Fauci?

Edit: nvm, found it...

Of course, on that basis maybe he should issue another 300+ million of them to the rest of America

 

Hello dementia, my old friend
I've come to talk to you again.

 

Not to mention his "Bully Diplomacy". It won't be long until our allies stop sharing important information with us.

 

They are already clamming up.

 

Is it cynical to think that some pragmatic foreign secretary might use this channel to feed disinfo to Pooty? The dumb, the crazy, the monomania all seem to be aligned.

 

It’s Donald Trump, he’s always had that appeal.

 

The Mean Girl Presidency part 2.

 

Too many people are ignorants dumfvcks who think that he's a billionaire and that leaders have to behave like assholes. Besides, they don't value real expertise and/or think that experts are arrogant elites.

 

It's my sig. Still. That tribe wants to hurt people. And they think Trump is the best person to help them accomplish that.

I mean, Reagan wouldn't have survived Trump's slam on McCain.

 

While I agree that many of them are stupid, aggressively so, they are anti-intellectual. So when Trump says this shit, they believe him:

1221600458629898240 is not a valid tweet id

Oh me... I almost spelled anti-intellectual wrong. 1:30 in the pm and I still need more caffeine.

 

Because if you really don't care about the values you stated, why would you care if the person who represents the country has the values?

 

And Melania's...whatever she has for him

 

Even Putin was pictured on a horse. How do you get Donnie on a horse? A crane?
