Paul Sperry reporting WH bracing for cabinet shakeup in the new year.

It isn’t the “messaging” that is the problem. It’s a core group of Republicans that hold up every piece of legislation that might actually make an impact like removing most of the DOGE cuts, refusing to remove the filibuster, doing absolutely anything to fix immigration, voter ID, etc. etc.

Anonymous sources get another L

What policies? You bitched about DOGE cuts, tariffs, and tax cuts for the “rich”. That’s the problem you don’t understand anything economically that doesn’t involve more government spending

The white liberal policies you want are proven not to be effective.

You’ll get shite for this comment. But you aren’t entirely wrong. 47 has not learned much from the mistakes of 45 as far as policy implementation goes.

That said, it’s an institutional feature that basically nothing can happen when Congress has slim majorities in both chambers. It was done that way to force compromise but we’re in an era where compromise is considered evil by both sides, so here we are. Congress has been useless for a generation.

You understand that if they don’t pass any actual bills to accomplish what they claim to support then everything Trump has done ie immigration and DOGE will be undone in day 1 of the next Presidency and will pass everything the Democrats put forth? I doubt you understand that or likely don’t care

That is the case already. Getting rid of the filibuster doesn’t make that any less difficult. In fact it makes undoing things easier.

It’s almost like our entire system of government is built around consensus and not forcing things down the throat of a slim majority government.

Consensus? Lol that’s cute! Imagine believing the Democrats would be willing to come up with a consensus on immigration, debt, the size of the government, and voter ID? Sure thing princess, you sound like a child
