Trump and the lame duck congress can make the Democrats next term very complicated by nuking the filibuster and passing as much shite as possible.

The Dems won't be able to do a dame thing as Trump has the Veto.

I want to see a big frick you to the Dems and the voters that put them there

The democrats would easily get to 60 senate seats in 2028 if this is done.

That is what they should do but you know they wont.

John Thune is a leftist and wont allow anything to pass until he kneels and hands the gavel to his masters in January.

Yes, absolutely they should. Also codify some of the executive orders Trump has like anything for Border Patrol, ICE, closing the border, etc.

They’d pack the court in a heartbeat.

Mutually assured destruction.

You’re about to see the consequences of inaction by Trump and a GOP led Congress.

“Fixing” shite to the level you want isn’t realistic.

This isn’t 1920s Germany where a far right dictator can rise to power and do whatever they want.

Good luck convincing the primaried GOP members to agree to this.

You think Tillis, Cornyn, Cassidy, Murkowski, and Collins will play along? Is Turtle even still alive? Why would Thune do this?

The Democrats aren't going to do that until they can use it. Alot of them are really stupid, but there are a couple of fairly bright people that will hold of on that.

Absolutely but they won’t do anything and the RINOs would stop it

The entirety of Congress with the exception of a few you can can’t on one hand absolutely hates Americans and is loyal to the lobbyist that put them there.

RINO’s, which they nearly all are, only care about the illusion of fighting for Americans. Any doubt to this should have been laid to rest with the handling of the SAVE Act and the pork stuffed spending bill that they irresponsibly passed.
