The POTUS Elect and I agree!!

[purplefaithful]

President-elect Donald Trump said Friday the Republican Party would try to eliminate Daylight Saving Time, calling it “inconvenient” and “costly.”

“The Republican Party will use its best efforts to eliminate Daylight Saving Time, which has a small but strong constituency, but shouldn’t! 

Daylight Saving Time is inconvenient, and very costly to our Nation,” Trump posted on Truth Social.

Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, whom the president-elect has tapped to lead a new Department of Government Efficiency, have also recently said they support eliminating the biannual ritual of falling back and springing forward.

While other objectives floated by Musk and Ramaswamy for their department have been criticized as unwieldy or not possible, the semi-annual clock change is a tradition that has lost its appeal to many voters, polls have shown.

I would prefer they just move it 1/2 hour and then leave it there permanently. All the way one way or the other would suck. I think its going to suck to have sunrise at 440AM but sunset at 830PM in June. Sunset at 9 is still to early, but its better than 830.

He shouldn't really get a chance, given that he's sworn to pardon Jan. 6th protesters on his first day.

Effectively, he'll be committing treason, which should cause detainment and truly draconian punishment.


I know it won't, but after that point...referring to him as a legit threat to American legislative process and all involved is completely legitimized.

Huh?  I can’t even attempt to guess what you’re trying to communicate.

I like that idea!!  Never heard it said that way. 

End of the day I’d like them to pick a time and stick with it.

They should have shot every protester that crossed the police line on 1/6. It never should have got to the point it did. It would have only taken 1 or 2. That said I don’t see a ton of difference between 1/6 and the summer of burning after Floyd. 

In fact you could make an argument that the Chaz zone in (Portland or Seattle I forget) was actually ceded land essentially removed from United States jurisdiction.

No surprise to anyone here, ever. Note that it's always, only you. Everyone else has likely figured that out, you just take your time...ask for the help you need.

That happened near where I was working at the time, and many of us were calling for the mayor's and governor's heads for allowing that horror show, along with the protestors tearing up chunks of downtown and businesses in sight of our employee lot.

Funny, when the protestors got to the mayor's home, things changed immediately.

I'm pretty sure everybody sees it.  They just don't call you out on it like I do.  You wrote something this time I could understand.  All acts where public and private assets are being destroyed or stolen should be immediately put down with force.  

Also, the govt should never be involved in further promoting violence as now has been proven by the IG report on Jan. 6, though it fell far short of being a true investigation.  It was only launched to provide containment so that the full extent of the govt's involvement behind the scenes wasn't revealed.  Some people deserve a huge punishment for what happened that day, but it's a very small minority of the crowd and should involve members of the govt.  Correspondingly, there's been no punishment for many others that have destroyed our country with their protests during the BLM riots which is disgraceful.

Treason for executing Presidential Pardons or commuting sentences?  There's a few of those Jan 6ers that deserve the longer sentences but most of those charged and convicted were for acts such as criminal trespassing...and many only after serving significant time in jail or home confinement and finally convicted for time served.  By contrast, the Palestinian protesters that were arrested in the Capital rotunda and the Cannon building were released.  By comparison, the vast majority of the BLM were not charged or charged with deferred sentences.

If you truly believe that the majority Jan 6th people were seditionists, look no further than Andrew Johnson who pardoned the Confederates..you know..real insurrectionists.  Did Johnson commit Treason? 

We had the ACT 10 protesters in the WI state capitol for months...virtually none were arrested and virtually none charged.  

When Clinton pardoned the FALN terrorists, he did so stating those that didn't commit violent acts were charged and convicted disproportionately.  Given the lightness of sentences for other protesters, the same would apply here.

The seditionists were specifically determined to overthrow an election for their sunkist savior, after he riled them up; I think he should've been in a skin-matching orange jumpsuit since then. I still think that'd be very appropriate.

The various "Palestinian" protesters are typically either unwitting dolts parroting what their professors and/or activist friends tell them, or full-on Iranian plants that exist to create/maintain trouble for us and every Western country...more and more, over the past 15 months. I'd love to see them all charged under anti-terror ordinances.

Andrew Johnson was dealing with a country that had actually gone to war with itself, Trump was arguably trying to start that war. Traitor, willing to goad America into self-destruction for the sake of his ego. How is that not both horrifically obvious and truly disgusting?

You said that Trump was committing Treason for potentially pardoning the J6 protesters.  I pointed out that a previous President (Johnson) had pardoned actual insurrectionists and was hardly treasonous for doing so.

Remember back in 2016 when Hillary continued to claim she was cheated due to voting machine security issues, voting irregularities and RUSSIAN COLLUSION?  There were protesters during certification of those results as well and Congressional members (Raskin, Waters, I think even your Congresswoman Jayapal among others) attempted to nullify the certification of the election?  Fortunately, no Senator agreed to be part of that nonsense so Biden (as President of Senate) gaveled down the objections because they lacked both a Congressmember and Senator objection for the Joint Session.  Should we perp walk and jail all those people?  How about the Gore / Bush protesters?  Supreme Court protesters?  BLM?  Palestinian?

The hard reality is that a few of the J6 protesters should have been jailed.  That guy from the Proud boys was certainly a seditionist and deserves everything he has coming to him as were a few others. Any that assaulted a police officer...should always be jailed (as they should have for BLM protests..but most weren't).  Hillary still claims to have been cheated btw.  You have to laugh at the chutzpah for claiming Russian collusion as one of the reasons...since she knows it was nonsense.  I see Bill claimed that Hillary once again was cheated out of the election last week.

Trump doesn't bear any more responsibility than BLM speakers or Roe vs Wade speakers..or.. for their actions.  He told them to peacefully protest...and even tried to get them to go home.

The vast majority of the J6 protesters that were charged didn't do anything more egregious than other protesters...and in the case of BLM did significantly less.  The vast majority looked like a goofy hat tour group.  They should have at the most been given deferred sentences that would be expunged at a later date much like many of the BLM protesters.  They certainly shouldn't have been held without bond and without trial.
