    What a frivolous waste of congressional speaking time. I thought these guys had real problems to solve? I thought Trump was gonna fix it all this time around? You’re telling me not even 1 week into his new term and he’s already thinking about how the job won’t be done in time?

    Conservatives are pathetic.

      On the other hand, better they do nothing than actuality successfully fucking everything up.

        The worry is that perhaps Trump is smarter than he appears, and all he’s doing is showing his followers that he’s still all about setting up a autocratic government which they’ll get to be the muscle for, ready to do a violent takeover the moment elections stop working (just like last time, but this time better armed and better organised)

      That’s basically what I’ve been posting on Social Media anytime shit like this happens.

      “How does this lower grocery prices?”

      Ask whenever the Right or Center is listening, keep the message on “Trump is distracting you from what he isn’t doing, but should.”

        Thank you for saying grocery instead of egg. So many people say eggs and it is going to age like milk when the bird flu recedes even though groceries will generally still be expensive otherwise.

      If this fails, you can expect them to redefine what a “term” means. And if that fails they can simply cancel elections under “emergency” conditions and keep him in office for longer.

      … and if that fails, they can just say “too bad” and do whatever they want anyway because who’s going to stop them?

        And if everything they try fails then “see it wasn’t so bad”

      I just want to point out that this is just one of the many many campaign promises he is trying to fulfill. Sure, it’s a big deal. But simply saying “conservatives are pathetic” is not only reactionary, it is wrong. Look at what is happening to immigrants. You might not see them as a problem, but conservatives do, and they are “solving” it.

      Just saying, this shit is way scarier this time around. They’re fuckin’ moving.
