Anybody want to tell him that? Because if that's his job description, he's very, very shitty at it.

You think that because we have a two party adversarial system. 5 years ago, the other half of the country felt the same way. Put up a better candidate next time and maybe the policies you agree with will be enacted. Until then you’ll have to kick rocks, more people wanted the guy you don’t like.

I’m trying to figure out if Mrs Ben-Ghiat is satirizing, oblivious, or head swimmingly stupid. The frightening part is this person is involved in “education”.

It's more the "who is responsible to his constituents" part I was referring to. You'll be sure to let us know when he does anything even remotely resembling "responsibility to his constituents", won't you?

That’s basically impossible when half the people in the country would become pro cancer if Trump found a cure. I’d say stopping the flood of illegal immigration benefits every American. We can agree that he did an amazing job there, right, or does it sting to bad to admit?

Even at that, not everyone agrees on what benefits all citizens. For me it’s mostly cultural issues. Stuffing people's weird sexual quirks back in the closet instead of wearing them on their sleeve in front of kids is great for society at large imo, but you’d likely disagree. Nobody will ever please everyone, pretending otherwise is living in a fantasy world. Every leader is going to piss of a sizable portion of the population. That’s just how it works, regardless of your butthurt.

But a real President follows the Constitution. Your guy doesn't. He has many, many fascist tendencies. A lot of what he's doing has been deemed illegal by the courts.

And as long as Republicans can keep their noses out of other people's sexy closets, I think that would work just fine. Historically, that hasn't been the case.

[Jacuzzme]

Fact of the matter is that going to court every time a guy tries to take a piss is unprecedented, and judges are biased. Anything he wants to do is 100% dependent on if the he draws a nutjob or normal judge.

You’re correct and Congress is asleep at the wheel. They either agree with his fascist tendencies or are afraid to oppose him.

The country’s best hope is the Supreme court but they are a notoriously slow bunch.

Hundreds of lawsuits are currently pending in the courts against the second Trump administration.

Last updated Sep 17, 2025, 12:10 PM

Hundreds of lawsuits have been filed during President Donald Trump’s second administration. The suits challenge his executive orders as well as actions taken by his administration, including Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency or DOGE. The courts have agreed to block the president in a number of cases, and the administration is seeking appeals as well.

Lol. That's rich. There's never been a more lawless, wannabe fascist, shitbag occupying the Oval Office in U.S. history than there is right now.

And the worthless wastes of space in the Republican led Congress have completely rolled over and showed their tummies to trump, allowing him to break as many laws as he wants. Mike Johnson, in particular, is a cowardly supplicant and will do anything trump tells him to do.

But you'll see how a functioning Congress is supposed to act as a check on the Executive branch after the midterm bloodbath next year. Playtime will be over at that point.

Speaking of rolling over and showing tummy, shame on ABC for capitulating to trump's fascist demands to cancel Jimmy Kimmel. Wow. What a bunch of fucking cowards.

It seems the "fuck your feelings, snowflake" crowd is nothing but a bunch of goddamned snowflakes who get their fee-fees hurt very easily.

Not that it matters, but Kimmel wasn't even being nasty about it. He just mentioned that MAGA was trying to characterize Kirk's killer as someone from the far left, while trying to score political points from it (which is, of course, 100% true).

So, naturally, president Sandy Vagina got all caught up in his feels and showed one of his many, many fascist tendencies by wiping his ass with the First Amendment. What a sad, broken, little man he is. What a sad, broken, little movement MAGA is.

Another, blatantly fascist tendency from trump...

Designating ANTIFA as a "terrorist organization". Lol. First of all, ANTIFA isn't even an organization, so good luck with that, trumpy bear.

But, by literal definition, labeling ANTIFA (anti-fascism) as a terrorist organization is FASCISM. It doesn't get any clearer than that.
