Yeah, we know. Everything he does is a constitutional crisis, yet they all roll over to expose their bellies.

Impeach him.

Oh yeah, Republicans are spineless cowards who can't even impeach someone in the last week of their presidency after inciting an insurrection and illegally attempting to overturn an election.

Nevermind. Carry on with the lawlessness from the "party of law and order".

Historians will someday point to the Legislative Branch ceding power to the Executive, for decades, as the beginning of the end of America's empire.

Every Congress, Republican or Democrat, doesn't matter, has given more and more power to the President since the 60s. Guess they figure they'll have that power when the seat changes?

FFS, the President can commit the country to war and tell Congress to get bent. It's stunning.

Every sane person "Trump can't do this!"

SCOTUS "Yeah, well. What are we going to do about it? Nothing."

He is a constitutional crisis.

It is the job of Congress and the Judiciary to check the office of the president...

We are so fucked

Why do they put his ugly, ugly face on every fucking article? It adds nothing, and detracts a lot.

Outrage clicks. People hate his face so much, they click through to see what that piece of shit did.

I wish people would stop trying so hard to be clever in the comments and suggest actual solutions.

We get it, you got quips and love to overstate the obvious. Is it okay if we try critical thinking instead?

This whole non-reaction thing has the vibe of the band playing as the Titanic sunk, fucking hell 🤦🏻‍♂️

There are no solutions for us which can be spoken aloud.

Keeping it literally logistical

History is meaningfull

Before we regret this you, me, we - need to act

All methods; and not voting is weak; you are not weak,

Means we have to either eat shit forever, or act, Now. Supress or die.

Take the first letter of each word for the first two lines, and the rest makes sense.

Yes. Correct. Because it is.

I don't know what you're expecting, fucko, but you're not gonna find it here.

The average person on lemmy has the political clout of a thrown away sheet of paper.

Let our jimmies be russled in peace for fuck's sake.

What solutions do you recommend

Most of America saw the alternative and was like “yeah, somehow this dude is better”. God democrats are the dumbest mother fuckers on the planet. Beating trump should have been a slam dunk and they fucked it up again. Nobody wants to vote for a leftist career politician from San Francisco. No way she was going to appeal to anyone who wasn’t an upper class white lady from New York or California.
