Michael "Up Trump's Ass" Johnson: "Well you see it's not our job to question the president"
I was gonna say, if it was going to be this simple there's no way the CFPB would have survived Trump's first term.
What can congress even do to stop him? Let's say they even impeached and convicted him, who would have the courage and power to remove him from office at this point? It's a pretty fucked up situation.
They can do a lot. Do you remember the last twenty years under Democrat presidents? Republicans obstructed tons of things successfully, even when they were in the minority.
It's a question of planning and willpower. Of course there are no perfect solutions, so don't ask for those.
Well, yeah, but Democratic leadership is going to be too concerned about moving towards the center to pick up non-existent swing voters. They don’t want to be tOo diViSiVE (heavens forbid).
The Democrat presidents were a lot more respectful of Congress and the house and didn't actively subvert them with unjustified executive orders.
It takes an act of Congress to eliminate it, but apparently a rogue President can make them sit on their hands and be useless.
lol welp. We’re seeing exactly how much that “rule” is worth right now. And unfortunately, it’s demonstrably worth less than the paper it’s written on.
This is a constitutional crisis, and a coup as well; it’s just that neither Congress or the SC is going to lift a fucking finger to do anything about it. Which is par for the course, if I’m honest.
Awww you think law is relevant to Trump
sigh
How do the normal people view this. And for that matter how do the r/cons spin this as being good
"Normal people" don't read the news and were surprised to see Kamala on the ballot instead of Biden.
Indeed. Let’s hope someone normal notices this through whatever means.
Still waiting to see how any of this is going to lower my taxes or my grocery bill. I'm standing here tapping my foot, waiting lol.
