Beats the ever-loving fuck out of whatever the fuck he’s doing now.
We kno
We’re pretty close to being in “Mr Veto gets overridden” territory. Senate Republicans up for re-election in 2028 are going to be strongly tempted to defect from their party line in the interest of not being thrown out by the electorate. We only need 6 to jump ship for an override.
“Don’t worry nothing bad will happen if the other guy wins” seems like a strange campaign strategy
Two years of a lame duck presidency would be a breath of fresh air after the last two.
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.
Pig Boy has been talking about cutting funding for Israel. It’s not clear to me why, but it might be that he expects Netanyahu’s coalition to lose power and he wants to punish the infinitesimally less genocidal opposition. Or he blames Netanyahu for the Iran war debacle and the US election wipeout. Of course, nothing can ever be Trump’s fault.
The was a Key and Peele skit long ago.
He’s not gonna stop shitting himself
“Obama has shit in my Depends again! Natalie, it’s changing time!”
Okay maybe not a breath of fresh air for the people in his immediate vicinity…
I’m pretty sure there’s gonna be a party when he stops shitting himself.
A party?
I mean, I suppose an entire planet erupting in celebration could be considered one singular party, but I’d say it’d be more like thousands or millions of smaller parties all occurring at once.
“The
witchshitstain is dead! Thewitchshitstain is dead!”“Ding dong, the stupid shit is deeeeeeaaaaad.”
Why can’t he share the fruit of his ass with the American people?
He does that many times a day.
He will still steal and deal and executive order.
Maybe the tantrums at not getting what he wants would give him a heart attack. I was hoping the all the rallies would do that.
I still want my dog to live longer than Trump.
i also want your dog to live longer than trump.
Thanks, sadly it’s not looking good 🙁
I’m really sorry that’s happening. It’s the hardest thing to lose your best friend. I hope your dog had a life full of love, treats and fun.
When ours suddenly got cancer and died, I was gutted for months. It was really shocking how hard it hit me. I still miss her.
He has, we’ve had him for over 14 years so him declining isn’t a surprise.
please give him all the treats for me
I hope your Dog lives longer than trump
Thanks, I really like your user name!
Thanks :3
The problem is that he will still throw executive orders left and right.
They’re just chaff. Courts reject the vast majority of them, and many of the remainder are just rants that have no practical effect.
And you know how much Trump cares about courts not doing what he wants?
posting here for visibility: can someone start a megathread to discuss the midterm count out?
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.
Bring on the government shutdowns
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
Nah, they’ll rule that only “essential” government services can’t be shut down.
Food stamps for poor people who might suffer malnutrition otherwise – not essential.
Medical care for veterans, some of whom will die without it – not essential.
Homeland security, including ICE – absolutely essential due to ‘national security’.
Or, better yet, they’ll rule that “essential” government services can’t be shut down, then leave it to the executive branch to decide which services are essential and which aren’t.
The one where the Democrats still bitch 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”
When is this, after a bunch of states mysteriously show a grand red paint job? ;-)
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.
Agree 100%. It’s better for the world if Trump and congress are at a stalemate than if Trump is allowed to continue to run rampant
Of course, his voters will see it as dems being at fault for only passing bills that weren’t any good (Trump didn’t approve of them after all) and thus if dems get the majority in 2026, they’ll be at fault for everything that happened in 2025-2026 in addition to already being at fault for everything negative that happened from 2017-2025.
And they will reelect him in 2028.
Yeah but those morons will support him no matter what happens, so why bother trying to placate them?
You’re right, we should do absolutely nothing about all the idiotic bills this Congress has passed, including slashing ACA subsidies for everyone. Let’s just let the moron do what he wants.
Somehow I don’t think a slight majority Congress is going to lead the revolution, chief.
This is the system. What is supposed to happen is that Republicans put country and ethics over personal benefit and agree to vote in favor of impeachment from top to bottom, but that’s not happening so it’s a two year stalemate or a civil war.
We’ll see what happens next.
If it makes you feel better there’s a lot of things Congress can do in terms of investigation and daily business he can’t veto, it just means new bills won’t be passed.
Would you care to reevaluate?
You’ll always be Mr. Pedo to me.
It’d be pretty cool if the Democratic Party had fewer Republicans in it. I suspect this Haley Stevens revelation today is but a visible pimple with a several-pound, teeth-and hair-laden conjoined twin lurking underneath. If true, expect more of the same from the orange scrotum.
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.
It’s still good to point it out.
The only time it does is when the crime they commit is against other rich people.
I see your 2% battery
This is literally just threatening to do the thing that everyone already knew he was going to do.
Also, frankly, what a lot of presidents pretty much do.
I guess the biggest problem is that usually stops short of the budget/debt ceiling bills, so if he sticks to his guns of ‘veto no matter what’, hard to see how budget bills can work anymore.
Vetos can be overridden.
If you have 2/3rds of Senate, sure.
But short of getting a bunch of people willing to visibly undermine Trump from his own party, that’s not going to happen. Keep in mind these were the same people who didn’t like the optics of removing Trump even after he lost and was on his way out and actively incited a violent insurrection. If they won’t even vote to remove what was presumed to be a dead-end politician on his way out of politics anyway, then they sure as hell won’t go against him on a veto.
If Trump goes full tantrum and decides to try to shutdown the government for two years, I’d bet they get just enough to pull off an override.
I mean that implies he would not veto something if they did. Which is obviously not true. So an empty threat, keep voting.
He’ll always be Mr. Pedo to me
Still better than being Mr Tariff and Mr Pedo. Tell him his terms are acceptable.
Porque no tres?
