nothing is impossible - but I would say there's a higher chance that trump just resigns, hands the presidency over to Vance, and heads back to Florida to golf

 

Thats how I started feeling right after the “shit hole countries” remark from 2017/2018

 

Where’s all the people here that said it couldn’t get worse with Trump?

It clearly looks like it’s about to be really bad. Granted, all the options were completely trash…but to sit there and do the self-righteous thing saying well all the options are baaaad was so dumb. One option was definitely worse than the other.

I feel like most of those people were self identifying anarachists/socialists that just want to see the country burn no matter what.

Truly scared for my trans friends right now.

 

Its like a 'Last Man (Woman) Standing competition'

 

I don't remember anyone in here saying things couldn't get worse under trump - I remember some people saying that Kamala Harris was simply too evil to vote for

 

Def some people said they’re the same person essentially and the choice didn’t matter. Granted, it was the socialist crowd.

 

thread has a new main character I see

I don’t recall anyone here saying it “can’t get worse” with Trump.

and I argued with those people as much as anyone in here aside from probably David, and I don't want to speak for anyone else, but what I was hearing was people saying that the status quo was not fucking good enough any longer, that it never actually was to begin with, and the only way to protect marginalized people is actually showing solidarity with them and having a candidate & party that has even A FUCKING MODICUM of their interests at heart, rather than a candidate & party that sometimes pays them a little bit of lip service when they can be fucking bothered and then actively works against their interests all of the time

I was in on Harris / Walz, and even wanted one of those stupid fucking camo hats, but I also see now how settling for the lesser of two evils leads us to exactly where we were a week ago where our choice ends up being two slightly different shades of evil, both of whom are happy to keep the current system cruising along full speed because it a goddamn fucking gravy train for them, whichever party is in power at the moment

I also am truly terrified for your trans friends right now, and for immigrants in this country, and for homeless people, and for Palestinians, and for any kid in school, and for anyone struggling with substance use who is trying to access treatment, and for so, so many others

I know it's already been said, but we desperately need a party for people to vote for if they don't like Republican policies

 

It's a bit complicated/convoluted whether and how he can do it. Basically, SCOTUS previously ruled that a 3-day recess was not long enough for recess appointments and it needs to be at least 10 days, and also that House and Senate would need to be in disagreement over whether the Senate could adjourn for at least 10 days before the president can invoke that power.

Of course that ruling was against an Obama recess appointment, so . . .

So how long until he also picks MTG or Boebert for something?

 

I don't think he likes either of them.

 

please no

 

Bobert is handling the Kennedy Center
Poor word choice

 

what do you mean??? like where the spaceships launch from...?

 

trump > harris

It's where you see theater in DC

 

oh good - no offense to the theater, but that seems more low stakes than spaceships

I strongly disagree that trump is better than Harris,
but Harris wasn't good enough

 

God I hope not
