    I dislike the democratic party as well, but that just flat-out isn’t true. There are focused efforts to stop most of Trump’s exec orders and many other actions (as they relate to him trying to act like he has control of governmental spending, etc.) as many are blatantly illegal or unenforceable and also to stop Musk. Now, senators and house members aren’t doing a ton, but there’s not much they can do - they are a bicameral minority. They actually are threatening a government shutdown, but that hasn’t occurred yet. Most of the resistance is rightly coming from the judicial branch.

      Sounds like confusion stems from you believing words and actions to be of equal value. Which is typical for any defense of Democrats.

        No, there are actual legal challenges. As for the government shutdown, that is absolutely just words as I said in my comment.

          Yeah, like I said, you believe words to be actions.

            We’re in for 4 years of “I’d Like to See Ol Donny Trump Wriggle His Way Out of THIS Jam!” “Oh. well, nevertheless”.

            Trump getting held to account, while facing no consequences for his actions or barriers to future actions.

              Remember when he was no longer president and was caught red handed by the FBI with thousands of confidential documents that he was making copies of and also trying to flush evidence? And they didn’t find the copies? And he didn’t go to prison?

                As usual, Biden fucked up the case by almost immediately getting caught with his own stash of classified documents, making a strong case for selective prosecution (especially since a VP cannot legally remove them in the first place).

                  You need to curb that ego and learn to understand context.

                  There is a difference between taking boxes of thousands of documents and making copies, and leaving less than 10 documents in one of your work folders.

                  The FBI realized Trump stole documents when they found thousands missing. He then lied to the FBI about having them, and the FBI had to conduct a raid to get them back. The documents were found in a room with a copy machine and a shredder.

                  The FBI realized Biden didn’t turn in documents when he donated his notes to a university and they found 1 document that they then reported. The FBI asked Biden for the documents back and he gave them to the FBI

                    LoL. You think criticizing Dems for their fuckups is an ego issue?

                    You Blue MAGAs really have no idea how much your behavior mirrors your Red cousins. Listening to you two bicker and make excuses for your demagogue’s own crimes, like the spider-man pointing meme.

            A challenge in court is, objectively, an action. As opposed to “words”. Already some of the executive orders have been blocked. I can give sources if you are actually interested, but you’re not being reasonable.

              Farting is also objectively an action. That’s not the kind of action people are calling for.

              I understand that you believe this to be some kind of proper action. You don’t have to keep reiterating it.
