Roe v Wade was — along with all the other things he has had a hand in removing — not a good thing. But don’t take my word for it, look to what actual (female) supreme court justices have said about it: It was over-broad and questionably defensible. It was not a good ruling, and it’s nice to have that space opened up for something better to come along.
Medical trials should be financed by the corporations standing to profit from them. Tax payers should not be on the hook to check their work.
Veteran healthcare is severely overfunded. Ask any veteran who will be honest with you and they’ll say the same (Most of my coworkers are veterans, the stories are wild). You have a tiny slice of people who actually need help, and a massive cohort of folks gaming the system to be declared as “disabled” as possible, despite often having next to no actual disability. Or — people intentionally harming themselves to get more disability. Again, ask a veteran.
Can’t say I’m a huge fan of Doge, but I don’t see their efforts putting me any more at risk than Experian, EquiFax, TransUnion et. all who have already leaked all my info to anyone who might care. Oftentimes getting paid to do it!
Judges generally are the antithesis of democracy. They sit above the law and make decisions about what is legal without being subject to any popular support or potential consequences. They are by and large the least democratic aspect of our system. Marbury v Madison is the biggest of all fingers in the face of democracy. To say that an instance of the people rising up to get rid of the unelected arbiter of the law is somehow damaging “democracy” is frankly ridiculous. People en masse working together to decide how they will be governed is democracy.
The presidential pardon is at the core of our constitution and is a vital part of ensuring political prisoners can be freed. This is a case of that, and I generally support it — even in egregious cases like Biden’s entire family being pardoned of “everything everywhere all at one”, or whatever it was.
I think his track record first term was pretty decent. No wars. It was the next guy that got us in two, killing literal millions. And the other option was promising us “more of the same”. No thank you.
