Because they are bigots, and it’s both a dog whistle and convenient scapegoat for their own failings. They rarely take responsibility for their actions and failings, and somebody has to be blamed.
It’s the same playbook as when Hitler blaming everything bad on the Jews et al. 90 years ago.
Trump is after FAA but how many Mexicans and Asian’s are working for the FAA or black people that Trump think DEI Is the problem of the FAA.
2 minutes ago, dedo said:I think the motivation behind DEI was originally good, meaning people sensed "something is wrong" & tried to fix it. However, the solution of DEI & how it was implemented likely accomplished little & may have made things worse because it was not well researched. DEI would be like someone seeing "something is wrong" with a relative with angina, so the person stays at the Holiday Inn & prescribes supplements, instead of sending his relative to a cardiologist.
Republicans like to claim DEI was just used to advance liberal ideology and cronyism. Look at the people in charge of the LA govt. & the salaries they gave each other & see an example of what Rep complain about. Of course Rep could have an even worse tribalism that DEI helped bring to power. Historically, when one party has a toxic tribal agenda, the public can choose an even worse tribe as a result. So the Weimar was replaced with the Nazis.
So you saying at the start DEI was good at giving jobs to everyone but now DEI accomplished little and just steal jobs?

Confusion and anxiety is rippling through the US health-research community this week following Donald Trump taking office as the 47th US president. His administration has abruptly cancelled research-grant reviews, travel and trainings for scientists inside and outside the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the world’s largest public biomedical funder. Adding to the worry: the Trump team appears to have deleted entire webpages about diversity programmes and diversity-related grants from the agency’s site.

What does this all mean?

He can't change the Constitution with executive order. He lied about being able to. Please, PLEASE learn more or stop looking at the news. You'll find no hope there.
Not sure if it legal or not want Trump is doing or he needs to go to courts and congress for debate and they vote on it. But it be sad day if it gets removed.
Just about all countries in South America offer birthright citizenship - plus Chad and Tanzania - that's about it.
And Canada.
So if the US did NOT allow it - we'd join Colombia as the only nation on this half of the earth.
On the other hand - for all of you folks who think Europe is the way to go - NO Euro-nation offers unrestricted birthright citizenship. That's NONE. As in ZERO, nor in Australia or Asia.
This is mainly (theory, not mine) a vestige of the New World - lax immigration policies, due to colonization. It hasn't applied across the pond for a few thousand years. -

Asked and answered.
What lies ?
he is going to remove citizenship to kids born in the US by illegal immigration.
That makes no sense, are saying it is lie? about remove citizenship to kids born in the US by illegal immigration and he is not going to do it?
I thought these where executive orders he was sighing.
There was table with at least 40 papers he was sighing all executive orders on different things.
It not him just posting things on social media.
What lie?
The social media and message boards are exploding with all the controversial executive orders he was sighting.
I only posted two here in this forum.

So why are other forums talking about this?
What lies ? Trump made it very clear who he is and one that is he hates the liberals and every thing they are doing or have done.
Trump is center of the room of attention that who he is. If Biden remove the 14 the Amendment Trump will probably bring it back.
Why because trump hates the liberals. The liberals also not into tariffs but he is and he knows that make liberals skin craw.
Trump hates illegal immigration so oblivious he is going to remove citizenship to kids born in the US by illegal immigration.
Be it morally sound is other topic.

You're just the type of person TFG likes to rile up. He passes an executive order that's essentially meaningless to remove the 14th amendment. Why should we discuss that? That's not how it works.
He's flooding the zone with shit like he always does. Ignore the drama.
Yes what you talking about is this.
What is the 14th Amendment and how does it apply to birthright citizenship?
President Donald Trump issued an executive order on Monday evening targeting automatic citizenship for U.S.-born children of immigrants in the country illegally, contrary to the 14th Amendment.
The order was part of a flurry of executive action Trump took on the first day of his second term.
"The federal government will not recognize automatic birthright citizenship for children of illegal aliens born in the United States. We are also going to enhance vetting and screening of illegal aliens," said a Trump official in a briefing on Monday

The reason I’m asking is sexism/sexists belief females are inferior to men and should not have skilled jobs or be skilled position and inferior and dumb where misogynists just hates women and belief they are trash and dumb and should stay home.
That is why I’m asking what is his appointees. A misogynists would say females are taking jobs from men and the White House should be all men.
Well if he is sexists he would say females can work in the White House if it is non skill work.
That why I’m asking how sexists is he and his he really misogynists?

it’s to annoy people into reacting - as we are doing by responding to this thread, er…….I’m surprise there is no topic on it, has Trump past a number of executive orders on day one all controversial.
It seems CD website has topics for number of threads on the controversial executive order he past that day. The internet is buzzing with also Elon Musk Nazi salute. Yet this forum is empty of such talk.

Look, if at this point you do not know that he has sexually assaulted folks (with one civil conviction verifying that) and his loooong history of misconduct and other issues you have some serious reading to do (or listening, in case of the bus tape). To be able to ask meaningful questions one needs at least a minimum of a baseline to formulate questions from.
If none of the mentioned things rings any bells, consider yourself lucky and you might as well stop your inquiry as apparently you live in a magical place where media does not reach you.
I don’t care what Trump did when he was kid but what he is doing now.
I’m not sure if he so sexist he believes women have no right to get government job and most of all his appointees are all men.

I don’t understand why there’s any question at this point. I get why NYT and WaPo et al. hedge on their headlines (like their “confusion” about Musk giving a nazi salute), but seriously, is there any question that Trump is a racist bigot? Motivated by cruelty?
Trump likes to be different so basically looks at other party and does opposite be make sense or not.
But what is he thinking does he not know lot of Spanish voted for him.
2 minutes ago, swansont said:I agree, but I don’t think that removing the Spanish was motivated by greed. That’s another aspect of his “character” but largely orthogonal, I think, to his racism.
Don’t forget lot of older Spanish people voted for him and now he doing that makes no sense.

It's not a sustainable system when what you have to do to maximize your revenue is in direct conflict with the basic practice of providing goods or services AS NEEDED. The current system in the US incentivises people to own every piece of merchandise they possibly can. Neighbors don't share lawnmowers or tools, everybody needs to buy their own. It's never been sustainable.
How could Capitalism be pain and suffering? May be unfair and sad of you compare have and have nots but not suffering and pain like sickness or medical problem.
Some sickness or medical problems may be worse than others.

Is this racist or some other reason why Trump is doing this?
GO HOME’ — White House removes Spanish language from website
https://www.local3news.com/regional-national/go-home-white-house-removes-spanish-language-from-website/article_0efe01bc-d7fd-11ef-b30e-2fdb0dc1e66d.html
Minutes after Donald Trump took the Oath of Office to become the 47th President of the United States, the White House’s website was re-vamped, including the removal of a Spanish language section.
The landing page for the White House’s Spanish language communications similarly went dark in 2017, but had been restored in 2021 during President Joe Biden’s tenure. -
Why do some people here say Trump is sexist? How sexist his Trump?
I notice some people say that Trump is sexist and hates women? Is that true?
When you look at the congressman and senators is it about the same has Biden or the white house or when you look at Trump cabinet ministers like department education, department of finance, department of healthcare so on.
Is there major difference? Mostly all guys now?

What is DEI, and why is it dividing America?
Diversity, equity and inclusion programs have come under attack in American boardrooms, state legislatures and college campuses – and now broadly across the federal government.
President Donald Trump hours after swearing in this week began making good on promises to wage a war against such policies, inking an executive order banning efforts such as “environmental justice programs,” “equity initiatives” and DEI considerations in federal hiring.

A surge in cases of the flu-like human metapneumovirus (HMPV) in China has raised fears of another Covid-style pandemic.

If you look this in China yuan cancer treatment cost it is yuan 21,000 for bladder cancer and yuan 39,527 for lung cancer and yuan 33,376 for stomach cancer.
That is yuan 21,000 is $2,863.95 and yuan 39,527 is $5,390.64 and yuan 33,376 is $4,551.77.
So if you covert much cheaper in US dollars and the most expensive lung cancer.
Average costs for cancer treatments in public hospitals in China in 2021, by type of cancer
So if you look at that in China they not making much money of cancer treatment. Where in the US it like three times of buying car or more.

On 12/29/2024 at 1:05 PM, swansont said:Lower cancer rate and probably less infrastructure. Can’t really spend on cancer research if you don’t have research facilities and staff to run them, and train researchers.
Other thing is lot of other countries healthcare is way cheaper than the US. Where the US is most expensive in the world and per GDP the US spends most on healthcare despite out control healthcare cost and no state run healthcare. This may be big incentive for profit treatment in the US.
Where countries like South Korea, Japan and China healthcare may be dirt cheap there and doctors get paid less than what they would be working in the US so is scientist there working getting way less than what they would working in the US and so this may be why the government spends so little money if doctors and scientist don’t get much money and chemotherapy is really cheap there.
There may not lot of money to be made there per profit so there is less of incentive for treatment or research.
