Gee, if only those senators had some sort of mechanism they could use to depose an unfit president. Imagine if such a mechanism existed, they'd had the opportunity to use it TWICE, and instead they'd thrown their full-throated (ahem) support behind this kid-fucker each time. I bet they'd feel pretty silly right about now. 😐

I'm sure they'll stand up to him this time.

He can let Elron loot the Treasury database, but this is just too much apparently.

All the databases. The voter data was just as valuable if not more so than the Treasury data on everyone. all the data combined is the most valuable thing, it's the last thing they needed to train their Hitler ai models that would let a surveillance state exist without bottlenecks in data processing.

Senators that are unable or unwilling to do their jobs should be fired. From a cannon.

This mild disagreement on this one issue will teach him!

If they are not happy with Trump, they could easily express their feelings with an impeachment procedure. Most of the Democrats would probably even help with that.

Impeachment has to start in the House, finalized by conviction and removal in the Senate. Mike Johnson tables anything he thinks he's going to lose, and would never impeach his daddy. Unfortunately.

Then fucking do something about it.

If only the senate had any power. Alas, the US is ruled absolutely by its president.

Yeah right, fucking performance art. They won’t do shit agains fascist daddy
This is putting on a show for the midterms so they can try to get re-elected and continue their shared plans. If any of them really cared about this country this wouldn’t be the first rumbling of anything
I hope the electorate isn’t stupid enough to buy the act but history shows us that they are

Poor senators. Someone should be helping them. /s

Until they actually break it’s not gonna mean a damn thing.

This really, really reminds me of this bit David Cross made during Trump's first term, where he was starting to regret his vote for Trump.

This is the first I'm hearing about this "anti-weaponization fund." This country is so cooked.

This fat lying piece of shit decided that this would suffice instead of his 10 billion dollar suit against the fucking IRS
dan1101@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 83d
That's what he always does; asks, says, or does something completely beyond legality or reason and then rolls it back to something less, but still outrageous and illegal and thinks it's a compromise.

What, donnie's self-dealing and/or creation of a set of loyal death squads is not cool with these guys?
This is the breaking point? Are they just butthurt that the death squads paid off with the billions stolen from Americans might be aimed at them? Are they mad they are not getting cut in on the massive steal being done by donnie's crypto schemes?
