Summary
Donald Trump has exempted himself from key ethics guidelines required under the Presidential Transition Act, which he signed into law in 2020.
By rejecting federal funding for his transition team, Trump avoids donor limits and disclosure requirements, raising concerns about conflicts of interest and transparency.
Critics, including Senator Elizabeth Warren and government watchdogs, warn that Trump’s refusal to submit an ethics plan undermines accountability and could open the door to corruption.
This move marks a break from precedent and has sparked alarm over potential personal enrichment during his presidency.
you see that’s the thing, its not exactly blue stats. its blue city’s, islands surrounded by hundreds of miles of red oceans
I saw a post about that the other day, it showed a map of all the states with populations smaller than LA county. Almost every single red state was highlighted. Really shows you how silly the electoral college system is.
That red ocean is like 3 people on a fucking farm or in a trailer.
An ocean of empty land.
Mostly empty oceans
Lets be honest, average iq of the red ocean is negative, theres no “people” there. And for the record i live in red ocean
I’m in the purple ocean! But our laws are very very red
Rural/urban divide is not unique to the US in any way whatsoever. Also, expect polarization to self perpetuate as blue voters move to blue states and red states to move to red states.
Me in Europe for the first time a long time ago asking the same question in every country and getting the truth from a woman in Rome: “oh, we don’t hate the Jews. You’re fine here… But leave the cities… Yeah, it’s like anywhere”
Whoa, lets call it like it is. There will be blue states, and there will be welfare states.
Turkey is very similar in this regard. Progressive cities, backwards countryside.
It’s also roughly the size and population of Texas alone. Does it have a wildly unfair Electoral College?
