  • “I’m not afraid - to throw a chair”

    “It was from IKEA - so I don’t care”

    “I’m bumping into people!”

  • Thought that was half pike, gave me THUG 2 flashbacks in Boston

  • Believe it or not, a lot of those protesters actually prefer pragmatic institutions, and will accept reform over radical change.

  • But he isn’t…..and he can’t…..

  • You’re arguing 2 different things than what was said prior. I’m talking about taxes. Taxes are legislative creation. Not executive. Congress decides deductions, rates and credits. Then once passed and signed by the president. The executive branch, under the president enforces them through the IRS and Treasury. They can’t change the actual tax rates. Only Congress can (hence why I always say, the senate is America’s biggest enemy).

    You’re talking about Trump freezing or restricting funding. Which he can totally do. But that just it, freezing and restricting by EO. The money dosent move anywhere until Congress passes to cut it, which they did with the Big Bullshit Bill.

    If Biden tried to move approved funding from military aid to let’s say, SNAP and housing. He had the courts getting in his way and would need everyone who works in the treasury and handling federal funds to be onboard. Because if Biden loses the court case (which he will), those who aided him in moving funds from 1 major program to another (you can do narrow moves) would be liable as well.

    What Trump is doing is a classic case of delay until they run out of money to fight in court. Trump isn’t really cutting funding, he’s “reviewing it”. But he’s already lost a ton of cases anyways because the JUDGES aren’t buying it. If the Big Bullshit Bill didn’t pass, Trump’s entire budget plan would be cooked.

  • I can’t wait for the headline “ICE arrest Melania Trump under the suspicion she’s here illegally”.

  • lol, wish it was that easy. But nah, the presidential immunity protects can’t fire justices or A3 judges. They’re in that shit for LIFE.

    The best move is to just expand SCOTUS to like 13 seats and a Dem president appoints a bunch of liberal justices. If Dems can get a majority in the senate and everyone’s on board, they can definitely do it. Just gotta get all 50 or more senators on board with the nuclear option. Problem is, if republicans gain power, now with the precedent set, they’d expand SCOTUS even more and pack it with conservative justices, and they’d most likely keep going back and forth until we’re at like 2050 with like 60 judges on the Supreme Court 😂. But fuck it, let’s do it.

  • I’m just happy people are gettin out of the house and communicating with eachother. Society needs that.

  • Nah bruh. The presidential immunity protects from criminal prosecution, not overcoming legislative limits.

    Congress (senate) controls the purse and taxes are congressional powers (Article 1, Section 8). And Joe Manchin was dead set on not raising taxes, because he’s a dumbass.

    Biden has plenty of faults, but taxes was out of his control unless Manchin got his head out of his ass.

  • The Dems don’t even have to do it, just like how they didn’t the first time. The courts and prosecutors will. Trump will most likely find a way out thanks to SCOTUS’ immunity, but everyone else is fucked.

  • I wish the constitution was done 😭. But I know the second a Dem president gets in office and tries to enact parody campaign funding or court debt relief, the 6-3 SCOTUS will strike it down as unconstitutional.

  • They still NEED the votes though

  • Idk why but I read this as “Federal Governor”, lol. What if the president was called Federal Governor

  • Not a leftist? Does that mean he actually knows how to balance the budget and be pragmatic to achieve progress?

    Sign me up!

  • It’s not. But you’re also not the child’s parent or legal guardian. We live in an era of easily accessible medical information and with people like you, who are willing to share your knowledge to help them. If none of that can convince them, forget it. We can’t keep letting these people play in our faces with their willingly ignorance.

  • Trumps sentencing was right after the 2024 election, he’d literally be in jail if he hadn’t won. But racist America bailed him out

  • Fucc em, if you literally work in healthcare and they can’t be convinced after the first 3 minutes. Just let them be. Who gives a shit at this point. If they die, they die.

  • It’s the modern day American right wing. These mfs just talk hateful nonsense and shill propaganda. That stuff isn’t gonna work in court. Despite the many flaws of western court systems. Even they realize how dumb these MAGA people are.

    Trump found guilty, became a felon, would’ve gotten locked up if he lost the 2024 election.

    Trump says the 2020 election was stolen, proceeds to lose every court case on that.

    J6 rioters all found guilty, get locked up, Trump pardons them

    Klandace most likely is gonna lose too.

    A courtroom trial is literally a reality check for MAGA

  • Can someone educate me on South Australia? Is that like your American South?

  • No Stupid Questions @lemmy.world

    Why do leftist blame the Democratic for sabotaging Bernie Sanders?

  • No Stupid Questions @lemmy.world

    If Donald Trump was black, would he have made it this far in politics?

  • No Stupid Questions @lemmy.world

    Seriously, what the f*** is keeping Donald Trump in this presidential race?

  • No Stupid Questions @lemmy.world

    Why is Kamala Harris being held at such a higher standard than Trump this election?

  • No Stupid Questions @lemmy.world

    Who had a tougher bid for re-election? Jimmy Carter in 1980 or Donald Trump in 2020?

  • No Stupid Questions @lemmy.world

    Anyone else feel like Trump has a much higher chance to win then Presidency than Kamala?

  • No Stupid Questions @lemmy.world

    Would America be as divided if Trump lost to Hillary in 2016?

  • No Stupid Questions @lemmy.world

    Did Obama Becoming President Make People Hide Their Racism?
