    What’s amazing is that - once again - we’ve got a Republican President stepping in to drive out every moderate and liberal holding a position of authority in the administration. And Democrats are just shaking their heads saying “Well, but you can’t do that” for the fourth time in as many decades, when you quite obviously can.

    “Haha! Now we’ll get Trump on being a hypocrite!” is the mating cry of a bunch of fucking losers.

      And the next Democratic president will keep 75% of the partisan hacks Trump installs “because we don’t want to be divisive”.

      See Louis DeJoy, who is still fucking there!

        Not as easy as simply in firing DeJoy, but at this point we need an army of Luigis to turn the screws where the law won’t allow it.

        Also, ignore the fucking law because the President is King!

        “Oh but I couldn’t do anything about it!” is the modern Democratic battle cry.

        Just look at the fucking Gaza Genocide. Biden dithers for 13 months on a deal that’s nearly identical to the one Trump inevitably prompted. Trump immediately gets what he wants by putting the slightest pressure on Netanyahu, because he recognizes that this conflict is holding up initiatives his party wants (namely Saudi recognition of Israel into the Middle Eastern trading cartels).

        All those people screaming about how “Trump Will Be Worse! You stupid Palestinian Midwesterners deserve the genocide your families will get for not supporting Haris!” and the bombs stop the day Trump takes office. How are these people going to respond to the next Democrat who runs for office, I wonder?

      If Democrats don’t pull the same shit in reverse (unless the GOP pulls their usual bullshit of changing the rules on their way out the door) then they literally don’t give a fuck and are officially a pretend opposition party.

        They won’t because they’re controlled opposition. A release valve for people to flock to when the GOP grows too difficult to render palatable to the public at-large. Dem Leadership simply waits to absorb discontent. They don’t function as an organized party.

        The only role they do fill is to cast dispersion on any kind of third-party coalition building.
