Ugh, this makes me totally furious…In a way I can’t describe. I’ve rallied hard against this bill and got others to do so as well, yet here we are getting royally fucked, by those who only care about the rich bastards in this cursed country. It’s going to plan with Project 2025 that everyone was warned about. Time to up the grassroots participation and hopefully get these fuckwads out of office (if there are going to be elections).
Fair federal elections are over btw. Do with that what you will.
That was the whole point of Project 2025, to basically gut the whole Government and make it so that Republicans were in power; for as long as the USA is still a nation. I don’t know how far they are willing to take it as the discontent is growing, and that might be the spark that ignites the barrel of gunpowder. That’s one outcome, the other is Republicans burning this whole nation down with bad decisions and blaming a long dead Biden for it.
“President barely passes budget despite his party holding both chambers of Congress” isn’t a major anything.
It is a despicable continuation of the November 2024 disaster, but this isn’t anything worse than what anyone with any wisdom at all saw coming seven months ago.
(It is less-bad than it could have been, in the way that food soaked in piss is less-bad than food smeared with feces. Small victories, though…)
I feel guilty to say this … but I can’t wait for every single boomer to be dead … even my own
Remember that a significant uptick of young people voted for Trump this time around. It’s not just a boomer problem anymore.
But the big protest fixed everything which is why it needed no follow up! Fucking joke of a citizenry.
Public support is already against this bill. Protests are to inform, and it doesn’t magically turn demon congressmen into concerned citizens.
They don’t care about the public reception because they no longer care about what even their own constituents think. I legitimately believe they don’t intend to continue elections in any meaningful capacity, and they think those are the only ways they can be touched.
The US is slow to catch on and quick to turn off, I blame the propaganda cycle for that. The right has spent decades preparing for the point that they no longer need approval to kill with impunity.
So many people are going to suffer. There are too many ghouls in this country that thrive off enrichment and the suffering of the poor and working class. Even after this Trump run, everything isn’t going to be undone. We can’t return just back to neoliberalism that got us here. We need a new generation of leadership and to fill promises.
The best thing to do if you have the resources is any form of community to look out for each other.
Folks, get your guns before you can’t afford them.
If I got one I’d be dead by my own hand
Protect yourself from yourself, lad, you are loved even if not by your country.
Got them when he was last elected. Best time to plant a tree…
ties rope around neck
ties rope to tree
waters the tree
AMERICA IS WINNIG. FUCK YEAH!!!
Bald eagles and stars and stripes and guns and titties and beer and KKK.
What an amazing time to be a trust fund child who sits at the top 1% of the money pile and will reap all those rewards and pay less tax!!!
AMERICA FOR THE WIN!!!’🏅

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubber_stamp_(politics)
One of the most famous examples of a rubber stamp institution is the Reichstag of Nazi Germany, which unanimously confirmed all decisions already made by Adolf Hitler and the highest-ranking members of the Nazi Party.[citation needed] Many legislatures of authoritarian and totalitarian countries are considered[by whom?] as rubber stamps, such as communist parliaments like the Chinese National People’s Congress,[3][4][5] or the Italian Chamber of Fasces and Corporations during the Fascist regime.[citation needed]
Since the 2003 elections, Russia’s Federal Assembly has been similarly referred to as a rubber stamp institution.[6][7][8] Russia’s State Duma (the lower house of the Federal Assembly) quickly adopted a number of laws proposed by the government without delay.[9] The annexation of Crimea was quickly approved in 2014 with only one deputy, Ilya Ponomarev, voting against.[10][11] During the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the legislative approvals of the annexation of occupied territories in late 2022 did not meet any resistance, giving the government full control.[12]
Other suggested examples of rubber stamp legislatures include:
Historic legislatures
Reichstag – Nazi Germany
Chamber of Deputies, Chamber of Fasces and Corporations – Fascist Italy (1925 – 1943)
General Assembly – Ottoman Empire
Congress of Soviets, Supreme Soviet – Soviet Union
Volkskammer – German Democratic Republic[13]
National Consultative Assembly – Imperial State of Iran[14][better source needed]
Federal Senate – Brazil under military dictatorship between 1977 and 1985[15]
People’s Assembly – Syrian Arab Republic[16][17][18][19]
Current legislatures
Federal Assembly – Russia[6][7][8][12]
Parliament – Egypt[20][21][22]
Islamic Consultative Assembly and the Assembly of Experts (not a parliamentary chamber but a deliberative body) – Iran
Supreme People’s Assembly – North Korea[25]
National People’s Congress – China[a]
