Beats the ever-loving fuck out of whatever the fuck he’s doing now.
He’ll always be Mr. Pedo to me
Just imagine if he did nothing the last two years, but just coasted along, letting Biden’s work continue.
Things would have been fine.
There is no end goal for this people but more money and more power. They are the embodiment of capitalism, there is no victory condition, there is no “enough”. It’s more more more more more forever, at any and all cost.
Like, a serial killer won’t ever be like “ok I’m gonna kill ten people and I’m currently at eight, so just two more murders and I’m done! Gonna be so nice when it’s over, I can just relax, pick up gardening…”
Veto away, Krasnov. By all means, please make Republicans look like incompetent fools for the next 2 years so we can sweep in 2028 too. After that, maybe finally we can get some shit done and prosecute the fascists (if the corporate masters are willing to indulge us, of course).
Let’s just check in on if the 2020 sweep into power let the democrats get some shit done and prosecute the fascists… aw shucks.
I’ll still vote for the Dems since fptp makes it the best option, but until we get a leftist yea party insurgency I expect them to dance for the corporate masters.
They did pass some bills, but not enough but didn’t have enough majority and had to use a way to not need 2/3 to pass in senate, so we need enough majority to pass w/o tricks and not blame them for not enough majority and not able to pass what the majority of people want on several issues.
My entire life I have heard this.
Republicans come in with the slimmest majority and use every avenue to get their agenda passed.
Democrats come in with similar or better majorities and, shucks would you look at that, theres always a just enough turncoats to keep them from doing anything. Or maybe they could technically achieve their agenda through a reconciliation bill but tradition and custom are more important.
The sergeant at arms could actually enforce the subpoena by arresting people, but the congress hasn’t done that in over a century and certainly won’t do it now.
Seating that judge, well the senate has a long standing gentleman’s agreement that both senators from the state with the courthouse get a pocket veto and one of the republicans is using it.
Republicans come in and squeeze every iota of advantage past reason. Democrats play to the rules, then if they could still get something done play to an even stricter set of rules, then compromise for no reward.
And then I’m supposed to hear how they really really wanted to do good stuff but gee golly, once they got power they just couldn’t figure out how.
Two years of a lame duck presidency would be a breath of fresh air after the last two.
He’s not gonna stop shitting himself
It would be very funny to see the 2027 Congress pushing the bipartian “Infinity Money for Israel Act” which Trump vetos out of spite.
But like so much else with The Don, it’s gonna be TACO Tuesday every time he suffers a marginal amount of pressure.
18 U.S. Code § 594 - Intimidation of voters
He’s above the law, lol. You think this’ll be the thing that gets him in trouble? I’m sure he commits a crime like this every single day. The legal system just doesn’t apply to 99% of rich people.
Sore loser who cares more about his ego than the american people.
Exactly.
Shit will stay bad, undeniably bad.
And I’m 2 years Dems get to campaign on hypotheticals for how much progressive policy would have helped if we had a progressive president.
The were looking at 2/3s majoritie to get a lot done, and insulation from remaining neoliberals who won’t vote with the party
It’s honestly the best path to super majorities, because we don’t have to try and get some stuff accomplished the next two years, there’s zero expectation that trump will let anything pass. So even if nothing gets fixed, it will still just help Dems.
Believe it or not, that’s the ideal outcome short of impeachment.
The economy is fucked, and we have proof his government has been lying about the numbers. An obstructionist Trump lets Dems continue to rightly blame him for it, and Republicans with any luck take it on the chin again in 2028.
I hope he instead becomes ‘Mr. Kill Myself’
I’d rather good laws be vetoed than bad laws be enacted
Bring on the government shutdowns
The one where the Democrats still removed out after gaining nothing in return?
Exactly. So dumb.
Republicans: “We want loads of money to waste and do awful things” Democrats: “Oh gee that sounds like a dastardly plan. I guess we just have to approve because reasons”
Yep! Let’s play the “no budget will be passed until ICE is completely disbanded” game. Sounds fun.
Honestly it might be worth it just to get the supreme court to rule that the government can’t shut down because it refuses to authorize funding to itself
You’ll always be Mr. Pedo to me.
Is this what finally keeps him in the office and off the links?
This is literally just threatening to do the thing that everyone already knew he was going to do.
If I threatened to my boss that I would just not do my job if I didn’t get what I wanted, I’d probably be fired on the spot, but to each their own I guess.
