Trump has never had a good relationship with Congress. A weak, do nothing Congress is good for Trump. His power comes from executive orders. The only oversight he receives is from the Supreme Court which will probably have 5 Trump appointed judges by the end of his second term. A Congress that is unable to hold the President accountable and a Supreme Court that works for the President gives the executive branch unchecked power One of Biden's gravest mistakes was not doing more to reform the Supreme Court Democrats assumed there would be no path for Republicans to ever retake the White House. "Demographics is destiny," they said. There was never any urgency to get much of anything accomplished, so Democrats let themselves get shellacked and accomplished very little while Obama was president as a result. They had to settle for a Republican healthcare plan that no Republicans voted for… and no attempt to codify Roe v Wade even after fearmongering about it for decades. Meanwhile, it looks more and more like Biden may in fact be the last Democrat president due to… demographics. 1

hoax Posted January 3 Posted January 3 (edited) That was smoother than expected. I'm a bit disappointed, tbh, because where's the fun in an asterisk finish off the first ballot? Edited January 3 by wastedpotential
GhostBox Posted January 3 Posted January 3 As someone else said we won't see anything getting done in Congress at all. It will all be by Trump and his executive orders with the Supreme Court signing off on everything.
GhostBox Posted January 3 Posted January 3 Do we really think Johnson's gonna be the speaker for long though? 💀
ClashAndBurn Posted January 3 Posted January 3 Children know when you're lying to them, and this is probably one of the biggest fibs this kid has ever been forced to hear "We weren't defeated." Hysterical. You weren't just defeated. You were thoroughly repudiated. 1

Marianah Adkins Posted January 3 Posted January 3 Neolibtards siding with Elon just to go against Bernie is just but I'm not surprised. I despise Conservatives but Libtards are beginning to reach on that level for me as well. The lack of principles is astounding 2
