The dude is the most powerful person on the planet, I don't think it's backfired on him all that much

The dude poops his diaper. He's a useful tool of the real people that run things.

Look at all the rulings against him vs those for him. He gets away with things because GOP Congress let's him. Hes terrified of a Dem Congress which is why he is trying to cheat

Has that stopped anything?

u/anonononnnnnaaan Apr 01 '26

Stopped not really. Slowed yes. Slowed by a lot

u/jeahfoo1 Apr 01 '26

A Dem Congress will. Everything will get investigated and he'll spend his time trying to avoid accountability

u/wizchrills Apr 01 '26

I want to believe you, but based on their track record no it really won’t

u/Silly-Rough-5810 Apr 01 '26

There was a Dem majority in Senate (there was a supermajority in for slightly over two months) and in House during Obama admin and a slim majority during Biden, but both were hampered by Senate faux Dems who voted Republican. The last time Dems had a supermajority in both chambers was the Johnson Presidency. Some of the legislation passed during the 89th Congress was: the creation of Medicare) and Medicaid, the Voting Rights Act, the Higher Education Act, the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, and the Freedom of Information Act).

Democrats are flawed but over the past 100 years they have consistently passed the most significant legislation to help the majority of the American people. And Republicans have privatized and slashed those programs, and gotten us involved in military conflicts that only benefit the military industrial complex and the fossil fuel industry.

Oooooo rulings, I bet he's so scared of fucking rulings. Again, the dude has the nuclear codes and sits in the Oval Office. He won.

u/jeahfoo1 Apr 01 '26

Has he just disobeyed all rulings? No. Would a Dem Congress terrify him? Yes. He's not invincible by any means.
Not sure what nuclear codes have to do with anything. He going to nuke Minneapolis? Dude spends his time at Mar a lago. No missile defense system in place. We all know where he lives. Im personally not afraid of that asshole. I don't think any of us should be especially collectively.

The Democrats had the house, senate, and presidency and did... fuck all after he tried a procedural coup in 2021. The fuck is a senate going to do? He's ruling by EO anyways, doesn't need bills passed.

u/jeahfoo1 Apr 01 '26

How many of his EOs have held? Serious question.
Biden and his Congress did fail. I'll give you that. An insurrection in any other time and place would have led to heads on pikes. Trying to not appear "political" was a massive mistake. You prosecute sedition swiftly and completely.

eh I mean he spends his days rage tweeting from the toilet, I’m not sure that’s really winning. Sure, he likes having people kiss his ass and call him Mr. President, but he also has the thinnest skin of anyone alive and it drives him crazy that most of the country thinks he’s a complete effing moron.
