Come back after January 20th and say that with a straight face.
Force Republicans to visibly go after working class people, abortions, and healthcare. Force them to be the bad guy if they want to die on those hills. This has been the crumbiest of crumb trails we’ve had since Bill Clinton. Shit that’s too penne ante to actually make a difference but is celebrated like it’s another New Deal.
He has Congress and The Senate so they can pass whatever legislation they want. They distribute the funds, the president doesn’t just magically make the funds appear. He can start a war, or use troops to run around and rip people from their homes, whether citizen or not, and then get away with it because he won’t be impeached. But what I’m saying is he can’t just say “it’s illegal to do this now” and that’s law. Unless the legislative branch gives up all its power. Which unfortunately would only save us about 100m a year and make us actually have a king. They will hide behind the false pretence that the government branches still exist because they can make everything pass they need for now. If that changes… Then they’ll break it
That’s why Biden should be doing positive things, not negative. Forgive all federal student loans, order Medicare to open enrollment and enroll anyone who applies, order the federal government to cover the cost of all abortions, order all government agencies, contractors and subcontractors to pay no less than the state minimum wage where the work is conducted.
None of it will actually go through. A court in Texas will stop it the next day. But force them to be on the wrong side of the issue. Stop letting them lie about what they will do. Show some goddamn spine and just maybe people will stop thinking about Democrats as Republican Lite^tm .
Of course, that’s the problem isn’t it? The Democrats aren’t willing to even try. Which shows us who they are.
Looks like he just vetoed a ceasfire resolution in the UN security council that was unanimously approved by the other 14 members. So that solves the question of what he’s doing with his remaining time in office.
He tried the student loans so that’ll just look bad.
But really how would he order the federal government to pay for things, he doesn’t hold the purse, Congress does. They would just call him off his rocker and not fit for office because he doesn’t remember how government works.
It’d be like me walking into a car dealership and saying give me one of everything! And expecting people to cheer for me when in reality they would just laugh and think I’m an idiot.
Maybe he could do the enrollment, HHS is run by the executive branch I believe
The same way Trump did. By declaring an emergency and grabbing whatever funding source he wanted. Congress appropriates money but the executive still has a lot of power in using that money.
Official acts for the president would include using the military to do something. It’s the executive branch. So yeah, he can do that. As for anything else he does that’s unconstitutional, he would have to be impeached, which both congress and the Senate would vote against now. So yea. He can get away with shit. But he can’t make legislation, he can just get Congress to write it and the Senate to sign off so the legislation goes through. Something that I don’t believe that has happened since 2009 for a 2 month span, which is when Obama forced the American Care Act through.
None of that is possible for the president to do. That’s all legislation. An official act isn’t creating legislation.

You mean like Biden had his first two years?
It sure is neat how there’s never any hoops to jump through in order to support genocide.
And yet, this Supreme Court will grant trump immunity for every illegal action he takes while in office.
