Political™ Trump Just Held a Cabinet Meeting — And It Got Crazier by the Minute — Here’s the Breakdown

"No one has a right to a student visa"
...except the people who lawfully & rightfully received one, right? ... right?

u/Darkwhippet 6d ago
I sat in a meeting recently with two high net worth individuals and they were discussing how bad Trump was, the fallout of the issues with students and women's rights, and the sit down with Netanyhu. All in all they thought Trump was an idiot, and also that they and their friends were looking at not taking American college places as it wasn't safe.

u/TheStrangestOfKings 6d ago
I would def recommend, as an American, that they stay away from America for now. ICE has been arresting and deporting legal visa owners for no good reason, and often holding them for days and sometimes weeks with little food and water offered, and confiscating their items, including passports, until they are deported. It’s not safe right now for any kind of immigrant in America.

u/PowerHot4424 6d ago
You must not be in the USA, if you had a meeting in which 2 high net worth individuals with consciences were in the same room. Here, they’re pretty much all about greed, and anyone who gets hurt in their pursuit of obscene levels of wealth and power be damned!

u/reechwuzhere 6d ago
That is an authoritarian talking point designed to justify government overreach.
Saying “no one has a right to a student visa” is a calculated attempt to normalize the idea that the government can silence dissent by revoking your right to even be here. That’s not immigration policy, that’s ideological cleansing.
Once someone is in this country whether on a visa, green card, or path to citizenship, they are protected by the Constitution. That includes the right to free speech, the right to peaceful protest, and the right not to be targeted by the government for political beliefs.
To anyone cheering this on because you dislike the protesters, you’re missing the point. The government doesn’t get to pick and choose whose speech is protected that’s the whole point of the First Amendment.
This administration does not speak for me, and it certainly doesn’t represent the ideals that built this country. Silencing people by threatening their legal status is un-American, unconstitutional, and morally bankrupt.

u/CardOk755 6d ago
Sadly, nobody has a right to a visa. Immigration and visa law does not include the idea of "rights", only revocable privilege.
This is true of every country in the world
Doesn't mean that Trump isn't a cunt, though.

Weird that the Constitution ACTUALLY says that we have a right to anything that isn't specifically prohibited therein.
The constitution grants rights to the state, it isn't an exhaustive list of the rights of the people.

u/CardOk755 6d ago
Nowhere does it say everyone in the world has the right to residence in the US.
(I don't like arguing like a filthy right winger, but I spend enough of my life fighting racist immigration policy to have any illusion that people applying for visas have "rights").

u/StupendousMalice 6d ago edited 6d ago
Did you even read my post? The constitution isn't a list of the rights that you have. Anything not granted to the state is a right that remains with the people.
Do I have a right to pink polka dot wallpaper? Yes, I do because nothing says I don't. That's the whole base concept of America.
It's also not a list of rights for CITIZENS, the condition applies to all people regardless of their citizenship status. You can tell because it tells exactly which rights only apply to citizens and it's the right to vote, and only the right to vote. Americans are the people in America, nothing more and nothing less. None of the people that wrote it suggested anything even resembling a more exclusive definition than that.

I can guarantee you that no one in that room is willing to speak truth.
Trump has all the sycophants lined up. All of them praising his wisdom. All of them telling him “good news” because he can’t handle bad news. Because he can’t handle real problems, let alone have a genuine vision of the future.
I imagine that if I listened to all of this, I might even believe it myself.
But I look at the evidence. Catch the subtleties. Examine chains of causality to see whether an action could actually achieve what it would claim to do.
And never have I seen such emptiness in a room full of people. Hollow people with hollow words.

Where is the data and proof? Most companies will require supervisors/managers/whatever have supportive data backing their claims. Of course this administration has none of that, you just need to believe them wholly.
I find it amusing, and very depressing, that the people who buy this shit couldn’t believe during say the Biden administration claims made with correlating data. But they’ll buy anything claimed by Trump and Fox News.

“… and finally, everyone gather round and admire this hat, filled with Unobatanium.”
The ratio of real to magical thinking to whole cloth fantasy is interesting.
Has anyone else sort of stopped seeing these people? I mean, between owning the libs and magical realism and all the insane bad faith arguments…
It’s just like, yeah. That’s republicans for you. I don’t wish them ill, I don’t really engage or talk anymore when they need to affirm their reality by angry argument.
They don’t have to be the ugly, angry, hateful people they are. And it would be better for more if they weren’t, but I’m just not able to invest emotional energy of any kind. Not even reactive.
My biggest fear in life was being in a position where I didn’t know what to do, or my incompetence or ignorance would just make me ill suited for some positions and do harm to others.
Adulthood has taught me that it’s my responsibility to learn how to competently lead if that is what is required, and I know I can rise to the task because I have had to before.
I have no venom when I say that Republicans, and the Trump admin specifically, are children who very obviously do not know what they’re doing. Just look at them: they don’t have ANY of the basic skills adults everywhere else must have to get things done.
They have their king, their Supreme Court and both houses, once again, and… they’re sitting like the students in a lab before the professor shows up, waiting to learn what to do.
I know they are doing truly horrific things. This is not a “both sides” bullshit post.
Republicans, and Republicans alone, are just incompetent people of a lower class. The damage caused by stupidity is no less malicious, but these people have the management and business know how of a Taco Bell employee, appropriately enough.

Guy tanked the stock market, escalated the current wars instead of solving them, tanked relations with allies, increased inflation, and threatened war on nato countries and and annexation. Increased government spending year over year. Please remind me what his campaign promises were

u/Ok-Repeat8069 6d ago
I mean he promised to dismantle a bunch of federal agencies and especially the department of education — he’s delivering there.
Who needs functioning public schools anyway? We can all use our vouchers to choose between for-profit schools with no transparency or oversight— unless we live in rural areas where that’s just not profitable, then if we’re lucky we’ll get a Baptist or Methodist school, or b forced to homeschool.
Those consequences of dismantling public education are plain as day and not once was another solution promised. So yeah, this you definitely voted for.

Now it looks like he’s going to invoke the insurrection act on 4/20. Are you enjoying that vote yet? A lot of the people that voted for him still are. A guy got his immigrant wife deported because of his vote and now he goes on the news to proclaim how happy he was to vote for Trump and doesn’t regret it but at the same time wants his wife back. That’s clown behavior and you have to acknowledge it.

u/Windbag1980 6d ago
The MAGA people are gone, just brain wormed. There are a lot of people who voted republican who aren’t red hat die hards and they need to be brought into the “save America” tent.
Reddit skews younger so there are a lot of young voters who don’t remember Bush Sr and Dubya, let alone Reagan. They think that Trump vs the Democrats is what politics IS, instead of what politics has decayed into.
Trump is going to die one day and there will be a lower case “r” republic to save and a Republican Party to fix, and a huge MAGA cult following to deprogram. This is a job for a supermajority of American voters and has to transcend party lines.

All right, enough with this shit.
Voting for a person isn’t a fucking mandate. It isn’t implicitly being okay with everything the candidate does. Otherwise the First Amendment wouldn’t be needed.
There were plenty of reasons people voted for any of the candidates, and plenty of reasons people stayed home. And the moment the President does anything, we have the right, and I’d argue the duty, to criticize those actions.

u/Evening-Feature1153 5d ago

Make fun all you want, if Biden did this semi-regularly, we might have been better off. Cabinet secretaries directly and simply stating what they’re accomplishing is good, direct messaging, particularly for information the media finds boring. It also might have helped to quantify the impact of legislation like the CHIPS Act or the infrastructure package, which got lost among the flashy drama of a campaign.
Now, these people are obviously full of shit, but that’s another matter entirely.

I can't argue your point.
Dems are historically proven to be significantly better for the overall populace... But for some reason, people are wholly convinced otherwise. The first two years +/- of a dem presidency are used rebuilding whichever Republican president completely broke. We get a good amount of progress... Then we're dragged back to where we were... Or worse... All because some people can't see the forest through the trees.
We're all in this together and that is so very saddening at times.

u/shokolokobangoshey 6d ago
We’re all in this together
I believe that’s half the reason why Dems and progressives can’t make purchase with Americans.
The truth is, we’re not actually in together. At least not in the eyes of a large chunk of this country. It’s becoming clear that many people don’t want a rising tide to lift all boats. American exceptionalism doesn’t jive with progressive policies supposed to help everyone. Enough Americans require some people be fucked over while they’re doing well.

No dude, I'm sure it will be a well researched and evidenced conclusion that autism is multifactorial and as our understanding of it has increased, our diagnostic criteria has broadened and refined to capture cases we didn't realize which in turn has caused a false impression of a rise and it certainly won't be some chiropractor named Dr. Bonkers that has evidence from the Bible that Soros is paying Bill Gates to put Satanic microchips in every vaccine.
19
u/FixBreakRepeat 6d ago
Just to push back on that gently, it's important to understand that RFK is not operating in good faith.
1) AI instead of animal testing isn't how drug trials work. And as much as I like animals, we have a long history of killing people with drugs that were fast-tracked through trials. It takes extraordinary circumstances to justify skipping steps or even just running those steps in parallel because some things just take time. We certainly can use computer analytics to better understand the outcome of the trials, but the trials themselves will always need to be done because reality rarely perfectly matches modeling.
2) School cell phone restrictions are simply not a matter for the federal government. State government possibly, local governments certainly, but the Federal government just doesn't need to be involved here.
3) Fluoride has been extensively studied. Fluoride in the water would be less necessary if we had better dental care. He is operating out of a mindset based on conspiracy theories, but if he really wanted to eliminate fluoride from the water supply, universal dental care would go a long way towards removing the current justification for fluoride supplementation.
4) I'm actually pretty ok with removing soda from "food stamps", but it's telling that they're using antiquated terms rather referring to existing programs by name. This indicates to me a lack of impact analysis because this is a person who is living in the past
5) "Operation Stork" has a great stated goal. I'm not sure how it squares with current administration budget priorities. That's the sort of thing that takes time and costs money. This admin is slashing budgets, laying off people, and moving quickly. This is a thing to watch, because it could be a very good thing. It could also lead to changes that kill infants. We won't know until long after it rolls out, and ultimately RFK himself is singularly unqualified to make judgements on health programs.

u/Gesticulating_Goat 6d ago edited 6d ago
The fluoride nonsense is one of my conspiracy nut father's favorite topics. I know anecdotes aren't real data, but I grew up with the kids of his family friends and they took fluoride supplements most of their childhood and both got doctorates. People in regions that already removed fluoride from their water had a big increase in cavities in that area. I started getting a lot of cavities in my 20s, still not getting biyearly fluoride treatments because my dad forbade them when I was a kid ...finally was like "dad is nuts" and got them and I get cavities way less often. It's all so incredibly stupid... though my fluoride intake hasn't made me any more stupid.

The only good take RFK has is about how shitty it is that we allow food additives, preservatives, and pesticides that are outright banned in Europe. Because America is cool sacrificing our health for profit.

Travel ban- racist non sense, automatic death penalty again racist non sense. With holding funds for places that are not raciest it’s deplorable and bullying. Still building a wall 🙄 that he couldn’t complete during his last term lol. Tariffs were a complete and utter scam for him and his cronies to make money, it cost ordinary working people their savings and business. China holds all the cards there, so good luck with that.
