Wouldn't matter. Republicans have a majority in both Houses.

If you don't punish bullies, they will push boundaries even further. They're just clearing the way when he walks up to them.

Why does not one get this?! Was I the only one bullied with in school? Like, actual ass-beating violence?! The only way to stand is up in their grill.

My MAGA neighbor called the cops on me, for calling him a Nazi and his wife a fat, froggy fascist. 3 pigs, dressed in Hugo Boss black, two squad cars rolled up.

The lead pig literally told me if I didn't give up my 5th Amendment right to be silent, he'd get a warrant, for, uh, something. Told him to *fucking go for it", and don't come back without it. Shut my fucking mouth except to say, "No threats were exchanged. You are not needed here."

Guess what? They fucking left.

And I had my hand on my Colt .45 the whole time, out of view, AR-15 leaning on my desk in plain view. See how nice they are when we are armed? You suburban white boys need to get a fucking clue.

This is not to be taken as a simple "get strapped" call. Gun safety and proficiency takes time and money and effort. But FFS, if you can manage it, there's work to do.

Nothing says legitimate presidential status like using every means possible to silence dissent.

LALALALALA I CAN'T HEAR YOU!!!

How are the “checks and balances” working out?

Yeah but two Democrats did a thing to keep drugs coming into America or something.

Two! Yep. Two whole Democrats passed their purity tests and agreed to keep the drugs flowing into California and Virginia I think
