I think having been yelled at by people all weekend must have given them a bit of a spine.

Ironbite-cause it seems they're doing everything we asked them to do this weekend now.

Well, honestly there has been a lot of complaint about their supposed spinelessness, but he just took the oath 2 weeks ago and it was a blitzkrieg. I'm not surprised if it took them a second.

Yeah but this is only nominees for the State Department. Not all nominees. And Trump already got his Secretary of State two weeks ago. The same Secretary of State who is fully on board with what's happening to USAID.

I guess it's something, but this doesn't even stall anything Trump is trying to accomplish.

So Trump has said that America is going to "take over" Gaza and bomb it to the ground. All Palestinians should leave before they start leveling it.

Sure hope the purists are super happy with how things turned out. Good job fucknuts.

Utah is also home to Mitt Romney, the most moderate Republican in Congress, and had a huge third-party protest vote in 2016 (21%, the largest of any state since '92), so it doesn't surprise me that they hate Trump.

I voted against Romney because I like the other choice better, but Romney has to be sitting at home going, "If they had just listened to me, all of this would be going differently..."

I didn't expect Trump to come out swinging like this, but dang it where IS the line where the GOP Congress is going to say, "This guy will take us all down with him" and turn against him? I didn't think we would see that line, but I begin to wonder.
 

wonko the sane?

You may test that assumption at your convinience.

They're bringing the save act back: the line doesn't exist, because the elections will not be fair or representative again. They don't have the counter trump; because they won't lose the next election.

The point of stuff like the save act (and it'll only be the first of many, I'm sure.) is to prevent the landslide in the first place. It's a surprisingly short distance from legitimate elections to north korean elections.

A lot of elected Republicans are probably feeling safe after the Roe backlash amounted to one disappointing midterm year. They achieved one of their holy grails, and it immediately blew up in their faces, but it turned out to be survivable.

The point of stuff like the save act (and it'll only be the first of many, I'm sure.) is to prevent the landslide in the first place. It's a surprisingly short distance from legitimate elections to north korean elections.
He isn't doing that right. He's announcing the things he is doing and not silencing people from telling stuff he isn't announcing.

Save Act can get them an edge, but it cannot stop the landslide from happening. The people pushed away by Save Act were going to vote Democrat. The landslide is caused by people who were going to vote Republican. People who see all the stuff they are doing and just can't keep going along with it.

And even at what it is meant to do the Save Act only goes so far. The reason Republican can sell it as reasonable is that the people getting disenfranchised can prevent it with just a day of their lives if it is very important to them.

This is the US Congress we're talking about; 90% of Americans hate every member of it except their own, who is a perfect flawless saint and almost never loses a general election and definitely never loses a primary.
