Remember the SCOTUS is giving too much power to a President. Precdent has been set, so let’s vote for the next President that will use executive orders with as much abandon as ever, to claw back those billions. What we forget is that Trump is singular with his cutthroat aporach to thuggish-gangsta style “leadership” due to WHO taught him how to act: Roy Cohn, who is now dead and no one can replicate. JD Vance will be eaten alive by the Senate, and the Mitch McConnells are tottering on their graves and “capitalism” has become so toxic to families in it’s late (or end-) stage form, that social problems won’t be fixed by it, leading to political ones. Mamdani isn’t an outlier… he’s the slowly arriving future.
I don’t give a fuck about precedent, laws, or any bullshit people come up with to fuck us in the ass “legally”. I want swift harsh justice to be served on everyone in the federal government. At this point, they all need jail for not putting the fucking traitor in jail.
Gotta get the cockroaches out of the cabinets before you start in on cleaning the house.
That is going to be the tough part, 'cos you know there will be a fuckton of pre-emptive “pardons” being given out at the end of Trumplestiltskin’s term…
States may have to step up…
Thing is, this has been a right wing plan for the last 46 years, so let’s not fool ourselves that any solution is going to happen overnight.
It’s going to be a bitch to pry those right wing termites out of the woodwork they’ve tunneled themselves into.
I’ve been hoping for something like this for my whole sad ass 40 year old life. Reagan fucked everything up for my entire life. I have never been happy, safe or had any security, EVER
I sure hope so. My wish is that they curtail presidential powers to an almost ceremonial level. No immunity, no pardons, no executive orders. While in office and direct or indirect income other than the presidential salary should be relinquished and full public availability of tax and business records will be a requirement.
I think that no government worker should be making anymore money than the minimum wage. Watch the minimum wage suddenly become liveable then.
No elected government worker… I’m not down with bridge and safety inspectors or air traffic controllers making minimum wage, no matter how “just” it seems - for a millisecond. Let the judges and elected officials have the minimum wage - WTF, it’s not like they’re not already millionaires by the time they get into office.
Agreed
Do you want the minimum wage to rise or not? Some regular people will need to suffer.
Leaving the unelected out of it, won’t solve the problem.
It’ll just get latched onto by the right as the perfect solution to downsize the government even more as the average government workers quit to find better paying jobs. (AI be heavily pushed by the tech bros to fill in a ton of the clerical work slots that open up.) The American public will grumbe, sigh then resign themselves to the new reality as the pivot happens. The TV propagandists wil spin it into savings for the taxpayer and the government will throw a couple hundred bucks back to each family for a year or two to pacify them.
Then everything shuts down as the emboldened billinairs fund the political machine to suit them and their agandas - abd they’ll be barefaced about it like the public has never seen.
Secondly, do we miss that most politicians are millionaires by the time they get into office?
They, more than most, will be able to buy whatever services they need to run their politicial affaris and get all the cash they need fron the ultra wealthy…
It’s actually the elected that need to be the first people to be pinched by minimum wage incomes. Hard.
