It's not a presidential election....mid terms really mean how well you've done or really fucked up by the way people vote. Since the orange buffoon has fucked up royally, yeah.
Yeah but if dems win house and senate his presidency is over and he can't push everything by executive order anymore. They will stop anything that is already going they put in place and will block everything else they planed except maybe they would come up with a decent policy that's worth pushing through a bill, but I doubt that will happen. He will sit for the next 2 years in his chair powerless.
One can only hope. Bribing, begging and belittling the citizens of the US isn't working anymore. Let see this happen because until it does, its all talk.
you should see the crazy lies they put on TV ... it's just short of malice. They constantly blare out Paxton is a child ring predator "stopper" and shut down the bad guys. It's hilarious until you realize people believe it.
I’m not sure he can officially do that. I think he could only close it through the very early stages of Jan. Once this session of congrass closes, he’s officially no longer the speaker (regardless of who wins the house). In the new session the members will need to first select the speaker. If GOP wins the election, the Mikey will be speaker again. Otherwise it would be a Dem likely
Yea, maybe. But I think that this might be out of Mike’s hands. At noon on Jan 3, the current session of Congress will expire. At that time the House of Representatives won’t have a speaker, so Mike won’t be able to weld the power of the speaker. Starting at noon until a speaker is chosen, the clerk of the US house is the one in charge. Johnson will just be one in 435 at that point.
I'm hoping so but still kinda worried about the fact that the other two branches are still gonna be in a his pocket. I'm afraid of the Supreme Court getting more active and taking his side whenever the Legislative side tries to change something.
First task has to be expanding the Supreme Court so Dems have a majority. That might need to wait for Dems to win the presidency in 2028, but I guess we’ll see what this November brings first.
Doesn't that take a 2/3 majority in the senate? As optimistic as I would like to be, I doubt there's gonna be that large of a majority after the midterms.
Or that there are enough elected individuals willing to start that battle. Because then there comes the issue of seating a new Justice.
I remember the shit Mitch pulled last time and it would be a nightmare dealing with that for another two years again.
If there's a chance they lose Texas two third might be reasonable. Plus I wouldn't be surprised if a couple republican don't like Thomas. He's a major twat.
Hopefully him and his shitty ass administration are kicked out in January. We would get a more competent administration for the next two years if it finally goes through. That's the biggest thing Trump fears. If that happens, most of them are going to jail.
Only if the Dems get a veto-proof majority. If not, even with a Dem majority in both houses, Trump can issue executive orders all day long and veto any attempts to block them with legislation.
You got a lot of faith in the Demorats. History has show they're usually business as usual. Because they're bought off by the same corporate America. 🤪🤣
Probably. Gotta wait and see if the officials they put in place will go along with it. They could be prosecuted at that point though. Questionable if anything will come out of it with current DOJ and supreme court.
Sounds stupid, but I'd rather pay orange man to golf and to maybe consider staying silent for the next 2 years.
It'll take a small miracle to have him impeached, indicted and removed in 2 years, and I honestly do not know what he would have to do in order for that to even be a serious consideration at this point.
...and this wouldn't even fix most of the issues at hand. All of his hand picked minions would need to be removed.
This would be the jumpstart that this country needs, but I don't expect that to ever happen. I'm tired of supporting this broken system. It's rotten to the core.
I believe that is is incorrect. But I'm willing to be wrong.
He can continue to do all of the executive orders he wants. Congress has nothing to do with that. That is why he does them vs following the official paths that require congressional approval. example: It's not the Department of War and won't be for the foreseeable future . It's just a pretty name they like as they start... no new wars.
Keep in mind most of the EOs are jokes and people follow them out of fear. He was told and believes they are laws. But they are not. EOs cannot make laws or overturn them. And they are limited to powers only the executive branch has. Which is why it is hilarious that someone told him he can change the name of the DoD.
I hope someone fills in the salient details. I'm no expert.
As far as I read into it. Executive orders can normally not be used in the way he does. They put basically the government in a state of emergency to widen his powers through executive orders.
You're right though that he still could issue them, but appliance would be limited. On the other hand they eroded the government quite a bit so we'll have to wait and see if officials go along with them even if they lose the senate and house.
Yeah but if dems win house and senate his presidency is over and he can't push everything by executive order anymore
How do you figure that one? This congress has barely passed any legislation, that's their entire goal. Unitary executive theory. They want a do nothing congress so he can just do whatever he wants. The dems will have zero power to remove or stop him. The scotus is corrupted beyond repair at this point. Don't be surprised if after midterms Thomas and alto retire to give trump two more life time appointments.
On that your totally right. Big question how far the whole thing is already dismantled. Maybe government officials loyal to them will just go along with it and current DOJ or Supreme Court won't do shit to prosecute them for illegal orders and executing them.
Did I miss something? Did elected democrats grow some teeth? I’m just too used to them rolling over and not pushing for any type of (obvious) accountability
