damn sure does seem like as soon as an evil guy becomes the president he can immediately and unilaterally start doing a bunch of evil shit but when a supposedly non-evil guy becomes the president doing literally anything within the span of four years is actually the most difficult thing ever. weird - ThreadSky

Having co-conspirators across every branch of government sure does help grease the wheels

It's a lot easier to break stuff than it is to build stuff.

No it's just easier for Republicans to do what they want because they aren't self-restricted to proceduralism.

funny way to say they have no qualms breaking the law

Law? You think Trump, with his second victory, cares?

I hope you don't complain about what he does, since you would rather lose to him than drop the weak strategy and win.

I know he doesn't care. i'm just not thrilled with the idea that dems also have to resort to lawless barbarism in order to accomplish anything. I'm just as mad about their weak-kneed fecklessness as anyone, but I don't want want a party that steamrolls institutions to get what they want either

No one ever tested to see if we have any fuckin guardrails.

It is eternally infuriating the amount of decorum we have to endure to try to fix shit but holy shit the toddlers are wrecking shit...just let them.

We are only in week 2. I already don't exist federally and my veterans care has been removed for gac. 4 years, hell, 4 months i might be jailed in a mental institution because i exist. Not looking good for any marganalized people in the front lines.

Maybe they will realize the toddlers need to be corralled and we start seeing some brakes being applied but I dont have a lot of faith in the democrats we have in power at the moment.

I dont expect many of the republicans left in office to try to stop him at all...maybe 2 at the most but that would be all we actually need...so small sliver of hope.
