Quid Pro Quo for Ogles? Yes, Let’s get the Orange Man a Third Term
Congressman Andy Ogles of Tennessee has proposed a constitutional amendment to allow President Donald Trump to seek a third term in office. The 22nd Amendment currently restricts presidents to two terms, but Ogles’ proposal aims to modify this limitation specifically for Trump, permitting up to three terms under certain conditions. 
This initiative has sparked controversy, particularly because Ogles is under investigation by the FBI for alleged fraud related to a $320,000 personal loan to his campaign. Critics argue that his proposal may be an attempt to curry favor with President Trump, whose administration oversees the Justice Department, potentially influencing the investigation’s outcome. 
It’s important to note that amending the Constitution is a rigorous process requiring a two-thirds majority in both the House and Senate, followed by ratification from at least 38 states. Given these stringent requirements, Ogles’ proposal faces significant challenges and is unlikely to succeed.

The Orange Man Attacks SCIENCE!
Yes, Yes, science appears to be under attack, as evidenced by 47’s administration’s recent actions, including halting NIH grant reviews, freezing communications, and withdrawing from the WHO. These measures have disrupted research funding, delayed critical health updates, and created uncertainty among scientists. The administration’s actions, such as removing diversity-related content from NIH websites and canceling grant reviews, have been described as chilling and potentially damaging to scientific progress. Experts have expressed concerns about the long-term impact on public health, global collaboration, and the scientific community.

The Orange Man has Suggested Dismantling FEMA, What Could Go Wrong?
Yes, 47’s policies increase FEMA’s need. 47’s policies against climate change, such as rolling back environmental protections and promoting fossil fuels, exacerbate climate-related disasters. These policies increase the frequency and severity of disasters like wildfires, hurricanes, and floods, which in turn heighten the demand for FEMA’s services. By failing to address climate change, Trump’s policies indirectly increase the need for FEMA.

Great, 17 inspector Generals FIRED Over Night by the Orange Man!
Yes, 47 is expected to fill these roles with loyalists. The assumption is that 47 will fill these roles with loyalists. This could undermine the independence of inspectors general, potentially leading to reduced oversight and increased risks of corruption, abuse of power, and inefficiency in government operations. Critics, including members of Congress and watchdog groups, have expressed concerns that replacing independent inspectors general with politically aligned individuals could harm government accountability and transparency. Just another CHECK & BALANCE destroyed!

Critical Thinking and the Media
Recent studies have shed light on the cognitive effects of consuming different news sources, with particular focus on Fox News, MSNBC, and NPR. Research suggests that regular Fox News viewership may be associated with decreased knowledge on certain political topics and increased susceptibility to conspiracy theories, while NPR listeners demonstrate improved current events knowledge and analytical skills across ideological lines.

Echo Chambers and the Decline of Critical Thinking
Echo chambers, particularly in social media and partisan news outlets, play a significant role in shaping political views and exacerbating polarization. By limiting exposure to diverse perspectives and reinforcing existing beliefs, these information bubbles can lead to more extreme ideological positions and heightened emotional responses to opposing viewpoints.
