Ugh, I just realized this fuck wit will be president of our ruins for the 250th anniversary.
Happy thoughts my dude.
Japan is sending us some new cherry trees for our birthday. (I know its more complicated than that, but take the little moments when they happen)
That’s really nice. I wish I could write a letter to thank Japan. Thank you for thinking of us Japan. ❤️
Will they be tariffed? Government holds them until the people pay 10% of their value to get them planted?
Alternatively, we can make it a great anniversary. A reenactment even
We need to take that away from him. Ignore whatever fascist shit he plans and throw giant rogue celebrations everywhere. I hate people but I will show up to counter celebrate democracy just to take away from his unearned prestige.
Make America George's Again
So I've still got about even odds of encountering a fucking idiot when I meet someone.
Remind me why I should ever leave the house.
I mean you gotta get food or something
Instacart and DoorDash mean never having to talk to humans
Look at this guy, rolling around in cash
Back in my day us hermit types just did our grocery shopping after 9PM, this is a whole other level.
It was sweet just before the pandemic around here, with several places going 24 hour. Now they've all reverted back with no signs of it coming back. I miss my middle of the night shopping.
I love all the stores being closed when I get off work ):
I've found 7am also works
Eugh, daylight.
I'm willing and able to pay to not have to deal with humans.
I don't think fucking idiots are evenly distributed, so the odds depend on where you go.
Lowest... so far...
Still has all the power in the world. What if it dropped to 20%, would that make any difference?
The republican congress members are still voted in. They can impeach if it gets bad enough
Tell me… what happens if they impeach?
The executive stops even remotely pretending to operate by the rule of law?
Impeachment is easy, relatively speaking. A simple majority of the House can impeach Trump as they did twice in his last term. I believe the number is 7, of 220 Republicans in the house, would need to vote to impeach.
Getting a trial in the Senate to convict and remove, which requires a two thirds vote, would need about 20 Republicans, of 53 to vote to convict. I can't imagine what would need to happen for that to occur. And even if it does, JD Vance is sworn in by Roberts as POTUS? I guess that means we're in a world where Republicans think that's better in some significant group.
I honestly see them 25th-ing Donny Dementia before that ever happens
And what would be bad enough that they would choose to give up their dictator?
When the base is mad enough to throw them out if they don't. The Florida special elections didn't flip any seats, but they showed a 15-point swing away from the GOP in deep red parts of the state. That's gonna make them sweat. Unless they can sufficiently rig the midterms or sway Trump off his current "crash the economy for lulz" trajectory, it may well be a bloodbath, and that's the sort of math that starts peeling sycophants away from Trump.
OK ONLY 13% MORE AND SCHUMER CAN ENACT THE MASTER PLAN!!!
thats depressingly high.
The lowest so far. Wait until the inflation from his new set of international tariffs and resulting retaliatory tariffs kicks in.
after much bad his approval should sink 5 more points.
Not to worry, he just taxed all the world's stuff on Americans.
This is an budding authoritarian government where the polls don't matter.
Trump approval falls to 43%, lowest since returning to office ^*^
