Second ('Third') Trump Presidency Thread

I’m coming around to the idea. Either he’ll fail disastrously and set American commies back decades, or he’ll be popular enough that NYC re-elects him, the Dems emulate him, and the Democratic Party becomes irrelevant nationally. It’s a win/win for those of us who don’t live there.

I don't live there but I also dont' want to see our cities further degrade into third world shitholes.

We have another option and thats just to denaturalize and deport him.

Seems criminal eh?

If they went to these lengths why is stealing an election out of bounds?

Will anybody on the left actually call this out?

Out of curiosity, is the allegation here that they illegally conspired with a judge to approve certain requests? It seems so far like the paperwork has been in order for what they did. But I’d happily welcome a continued investigation on their actions. If the Biden Admin was not legally allowed to do any of what they did, throw the book at them. If they were allowed to do what they did, maybe consider new laws.

It’d seem to me that one thing we need is more flexibility in our legal system to send things to SCOTUS quickly. If one branch of the government wants to investigate another, seems like we would want to expedite that shit.

Obama started this whole movement of entrenched warfare within the executive and judiciary branch.

We are far past fixing this with 'laws'.

We’ve arrived at the point where both sides want to break down the guardrails before the other side does, and both sides are justified in the fear that the other side will beat them to it. I shudder to think of how many states and Supreme Court justices we’ll have after the next time the Dems have full control.

How long can a country survive where half the population feels dread whenever their side loses

I think a reasonable argument can be made that the political system is already in a terminal condition, and that the only questions are how long it has left and how painful the death and transition are.

Yup - Important to be on the winning side though. Going to get exponentially more ugly moving forward now.
 
For what it’s worth, I think it’s time to end the filibuster at this point if we’re just going to legislate via EO and rules fuckery anyway.

For the record, we absolutely should abolish the filibuster and the electoral college, and you can check with me on that opinion if the GOP takes back the senate in 2024- it won't change.

Abolishing the filibuster would allow the Senate to actually get some things done rather than allowing the minority to prevent any progress whatsoever. Abolishing the EC allows all Americans to have their vote matter and stops giving outsized power to a handful of states (both red and blue). Both of those two things are good regardless of who is in power.

You should go to a different country then. Founders never wanted the federal government to be this powerful.
