Asked if Trump's rapid fire executive orders will make the next Democratic president do the same, Hakeem Jeffries replies: "thinking about 2028 at this moment for me is a luxury"

Literally everything Jeffries is doing he is plainly doing within the context of his own 2028 ambitions. Who the fuck does he think he is kidding? Lmao it’s so obvious too.
Damn, next time I'm in an interview and asked where I see myself in 5 years, I'll just tell them "thinking about the future at this moment for me is a luxury" 😂
It’s very sweet (and disheartening) to see how people like John Stewart keep thinking the Democrats will step up and do the right thing at any point in the future. That is not the purpose of the Democratic party.
Normally dems wistfully talk about what they'll do next election cycle while texting and dead fishing for republicans. Now he's like "I'm too preoccupied with my current impotence to think about my future impotence."
He answers questions as if he's in a beauty pageant!
Where's Trump's Health Care plan? Attack Musk as Jon Stewart does!
State Trump's coming for your union and Social Security!
How much is his global trade war going to raise prices!
What a soft leader! 🍦🍦
Your post hints that the USA is no longer a democracy.
Hakeem Jefferies knows, given the #GenocideJoe Biden presidency and the Kamala shambles candidacy, Democrats don't have a chance to win the next election.
Not really that rare. He's always had the position it's great to laugh at the Democrats evil negligence behind their backs but give them a pass to their face. He'll never challenge them in the way he rightly did Nathan Dahm.
We have to make him. We have to amass enough shit on him to make him.
😤but he won’t leave. and our military has been co-opted and fed Fox. Most of the military is maga -
which blows my mind by the way. No one has
ever been more condescending and disrespectful to our military than mango.
He is not good at this. We need a much more aggressive approach to fight back. We need aoc or Crockett in charge of everything. Oh and raskin. Schumer and Jeffries are not our answer. Chris Murphy in the senate please.
I’m going to be overly earnest on the internet and say I feel completely hopeless for the future with these chicken nuggets trying to put up any kind of defense. I feel like I could put up a better fight than this.
NO TIME FOR LUXURIES! Trump is torching democracy in real time, and we’re supposed to sit back and daydream about 2028? NO CHANCE! Every Democrat, every patriot, needs to be laser-focused on stopping this authoritarian disaster—BEFORE there’s nothing left to save! #MakeAmericaFairAgain
So how do you reclaim power if you don’t start giving folks something to vote for? Fear mongering clearly didn’t work. Time to update your messaging there hoss. You could also just say I am a corporate democrat and “nothing will fundamentally change.” You prolly think Joe Biden was FDR 2.0 🤣🤣 🤡
Oh please, spare me the lecture. Fear mongering? Trump’s out here threatening democracy itself, and you want to pretend it’s just a messaging issue? Get real. And Biden as FDR 2.0? Not even close. But I’ll tell you this—he’s a hell of a lot closer than Trump.
You’re entitled to an opinion—even a BAD one. Meanwhile, democracy is hanging by a thread, and I’m out here fighting for it. You don’t have to like it, but reconcile with the fact that we’re in this together—because the alternative is a Trump-Musk dystopia. And NOBODY wants that.
Thanks for checking it out! The bad photoshopping? A hobby. The merch? A fun pastime—I’m not out to rip anyone off. I figured selling obnoxious merch would be part of the bit.
Dems plan is to sit back, not take any strong stands against Trump, and hope that the dumpster fire is so obvious that voters reject him in mass revulsion and turn back to Democrats by default, who don't have to do anything dangerous like date to criticize him or repudiate corporate money
Dear Jefferies, he is literally giving you the opportunity to show that Democrats will be fighters for the working class. The time for your answers to be clear, strong and impactful is now.
SOOOOO he has no leverage for now so his hands are tied and can't bring himself to think about 2028 what exactly is he doing? He needs to step aside and let someone with a voice take his place.
Jesus Christ. We need a fighter. How about? If Trump ignore the court there will be nothing stopping a future Democratic POTUS from doing the same. So, so much for the Conservative majority they have spent decades creating.
Yeah, I agree. Even if the lose the next Presidential Election, the Republicans are not going to hand the keys over. I am willing to bet Trump decides to stay in office for a Third Term.
Wtf is this political correctness. We need someone to talk how it is. Just like Trump does. Straight to point whatever is on his mind. So yes 2028 democratic president will act the same. Cause why not
Maybe Jeffries and all of the DNC stooges should have done literally ANYTHING in the last 4 years to ensure this shit couldn't happen. You know, like barring a pedophile felon from running for office.
And if I remember correctly, they had control of the WH and the Senate for 2 years. They took care of some issues in the aftermath of Covid and a crashing economy. They never seem to have a plan for the future. Or a real leader.
And that is it in a nutshell. Ds lack a ruthlessness gene. Be ruthless-with a detailed plan. They had no plan for hitting the ground and using those two years to full effect. One bill at a time on a single subject. They should kneecapped Manchin and Sinema for not voting to enshrine voting rights.
We have no functioning govt now. We’re as vulnerable as we’ve ever been. To any and every type of attack. We’re at defcon1 with an unstable psychopath usurping the Oval and an evil apartheid clyde, who got him there, calling the shots. He has our deets. viruses/birdflu/fires/plane crashes/ICE
S.O.S
We don’t have 4 years Jon. This is a full on fascist coup. We need to overthrow the entire regime. We cannot do business with evil. I cant condone that. But I do condone a military revolt. The military protect the security of our nation and we are that nation. Our Constitution is under attack
These chuckle fucks really despise even thinking about their jobs tomorrow. Like fuck, there's more to your shit than just fundraising, do-nothing pricks. And they wonder why they keep losing to actual fascists.
Yeah, people don't understand where we are yet. It's gone, already. There will never again be a proper fair election in the USA without a complete overthrow and reformation of our entire political apparatus. This is what happens when dictators and robber barons take over.
I don’t understand. Why is Jon even asking this question? 2028? Thinking about 2026 feels like a luxury right now! The Republicans are acting like they’re never going to have to deal with another democratic election. I agree with others that we need a fighter at the helm. Jeffries is not stepping up
Every day, more and more people realize that the Democratic Party is a senior citizen’s home that does fundraising. It’s not a serious political party.
Democrats happily handed the country to nazis with smiles on their faces because they got to show off there manners. If Jeffries thinks we aren't keeping records on everything they didn't do to prevent this, he may find himself not sitting in any luxury in 2028.
I actually agree with him, we shouldn't be thinking about future elections we should be focused on fighting back against the onslaught of unconstitutional actions. Americans want fighters, not poll tested mealy mouth talking points.
Fun to pal around with (national treasure) Jon Stewart but shouldn't Jeffries focus on 2026 and 2028. Or just sit around drinking tea while complaining about the neighbors?
Someone should tell Mr. Jeffries that bloviation will do nothing for them. They should ONLY be focused on:
1) Flipping the House in 2026
2) Writing a clear, concise "Project 2028" document.
Without 100% unanimity of purpose and courage of their convictions, they will continue to fail.

Is he low IQ??
GOP:

They never realize how much it shows they're owned.
That’s why he changed the subject.
Here is just one list he finds himself on. United Health. Maybe you’ve heard of them?
