    In his world? Yes. Unfortunately there hasn’t been a whole lot of significant precedent for pushback against the man child in chief during his earlier tenure, so i wouldnt hold my breath.

      And they have used 4 years to make plans to get «sympathetic» people into as many positions as possible.

        Well, tbf not like the Dems did anything to plug the holes in the system while they had the deciding vote the first 2 years.

        Sigh. It’s gonna get worse the next 4, right?

          The Dems are part of the problem, even if they are immensely better than what’s incoming.

          Yes, it will.

      Do you not remember his first term? The vast majority of things he wanted to do got “pushback” from the DOJ. To the point where he fired the Attorney General, Jeff sessions, and replaced him with Bill barr. Even that monster, Bill Barr pushed back against Trump a bunch of times. Eventually, he even testified against him for several different inquiries and hearings, including both times he was impeached.

      Even when Trump‘s appointed his own attorney, general, they turn on him.
