https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cd6zn3ly22yo so between Lutnick.. Bessent.. and Trump.. i think we should just shave Lutnick's head and call him Curly. I'm not sure who is Larry and Moe between Bessent and Trump though. Have you guys seen the new Trump music video? its based on this 80s all time classic. Rubio on the drums is bad ass. | ||

The supreme court consists of 2 Trump appointees and is dominated by Republicans. The court recently ended the foundation of Republican Donald Trump's bargaining power by a score of 6-3. So, the Constitution remains in force. | ||

Electing a president for the third time would be unconstitutional, which is what pmh is hoping will happen. | ||

Yeah because it being unconstitutional would prevent another capitol shitshow or similar thing, except they’d be better prepared this time and might succeed. At least when Adolf failed his first coup d‘etat he had to do jail time. In the EU they issued a warning about the banking system possibly being cut off due to the massive uncertainty caused and the very real threat. Don‘t know about you but I‘ll be taking precautions. | ||

It‘s probably more meant along the way of ‚who even cares what happens next at this point‘. Relatable. It‘ll probably be the EU becoming somebody elses protectorate eventually. Beats having to constantly deal with power grabs at any cost because just existing and having a shitton of money isn‘t enough to Trumps clientele. | ||

I took it as exasperation at the lack of a realistic/coherent plan from Democrats/their supporters. The SOTU response being an example of their incoherency. | ||

The SOTU response being an example of their incoherency. Are you completely unable to separate the idea of a slightly better society versus something closer to ideal or what? It’s like you’d rather have Trump’s ICE goons shooting innocent people so you can prevaricate on how bad the Dems are for not stopping them doing so than like, having the Democrats in power and that not happening. It’s deeply, deeply tiring at this point, and completely untethered from current political reality. You have no substantive answers to any basic questioning of your overall worldview, maybe change the record and engage with some of those? | ||

It’s not a cult though. | ||
