Should a very small handful of GOP congressmen drop dead, Democrats would have the majority and could elect a new speaker. Then that speaker could refuse to seat the replacement Republicans when they showed up. It is good to have dreams.
@therickwilson.bsky.social I wish when you and Andrew are talking Biden numbers versus Trump numbers you would point out that comparison is with the billion dollar right wing propaganda machine trying try crush Biden, but elevate Trump.
They are the ones who just ripped it away deliberately and with malice. Why must they negotiate?
I don't understand why anyone expects negotiation. In the recent past, the GOP deliberately enacted the big ugly bill, intentionally screwing Medicaid and everything else the bill broke. They said that was what they wanted. Why would they change their mind?
So you keep your feet pointy even in breaks?
And the grazing cattle would actually do better with some trees for shade instead of being sunbaked all day.
The same people who put "logout" under the "shutdown" menu.
I constantly wonder about all the forms I've filled out that want to know both my birthday and how old I am. Is it some kind of arithmetic test? I don't keep track of how old I am, it changes every year!
If the armed forces do turn against him, I hope they take out all the DHS "leadership" first thing so there won't be anyone to give ICE illegal orders.
Only 1.2 trillion? I thought Dear Leader said they took in 17 trillion.
Surprised they didn't wait till just before the election so they could say "too late to change now" if they were found to be illegal.
Hey, SCOTUS said the president talking to the cabinet is an official act which makes him immune. So be grateful he didn't just tell treasury to cut him a check for one trillion dollars.
Does spewing asbestos in the air of Washington, DC count as using chemical weapons?
New law #1 should be:

If your name appears on a ballot for federal office, the IRS automatically releases your tax returns.

If that had been law in 2015, Trump would never have run. I suspect at least 30% of Congress would decide to retire rather than run again if it ever became a law.
I can't imagine a single missile happening, on the other hand, a nuke popping up out of a parked trailer in a big city seems infinitely harder to assign blame for.
Obviously you can't compete with the suits in 81 states Laura Trump says the RNC has!
You mean no one thought of that when they wrote the memo saying sitting presidents can't be prosecuted? Or when SCOTUS said they can crime at will?
It did until the entire GOP had their spines removed.
I'm surprised they didn't shoot the dog.
I distinctly remember Ron DeSantis banning election monitors from observing Florida elections. Seems like a useful precedent to me.
I am surprised he bothered to make an excuse. According to SCOTUS talking to his cabinet is an official act and he can't commit a crime doing that, so why didn't he just tell his Treasury secretary to cut him a check for a trillion?
The big ugly bill they just passed doubled the cost. They went to a lot of trouble to pass it. Why would they change their minds now?
Apply then donate the bonus to anti-ICE organizations or food banks, etc.
Especially since they just used it to shove a gaggle of Trump appointments through.
