Summary
Republicans have won control of both the House and Senate, solidifying their alignment with President-elect Donald Trump and his aggressive “America First” agenda.
Trump’s allies, including new House Speaker Mike Johnson, aim to overhaul federal programs, enact conservative policies, and investigate Trump’s legal adversaries.
Trump nominated loyalist Rep. Matt Gaetz as attorney general, raising concerns among Democrats and some Republicans.
The GOP’s slim House majority could complicate legislative unity, while the Senate’s 53-seat majority provides leeway for confirming Trump’s Cabinet, including potential Supreme Court nominees.
Are you saying that it was…dare I say…RIGGED?!!
THERE IS NO CREDIBLE EVIDENCE THAT ELECTIONS IN THE US CAN BE RIGGED!!!
Well, you start by legitimately winning an election by stoking fear. In Russia it was bombing an apartment block and blaming it on Chechens, in the US it’s… the possibility of electing a woman
People: America is too racist to elect a black man.
Black man runs as a progressive and wins two consecutive elections handily.
People: America is too misogynistic to elect a woman.
Two women run as neo-liberals and lose, one gets crushed.
People: See? Women are too controversial.
How absolutely DARE you!!
They are women!! Their policy positions should not have had ANYTHING to do with the vote!! Everyone should have voted for them because they are women!!
I was thinking because they weren’t fascists, but jerk yourself off bro
No need. I get off on pointing out hypocrisy!
It’s like you guys are running my Lush vibrator with your posts!
There’s no helping you, poor child
You don’t know how hard you are helping me! I’m gooning over here!
A malady of the mind and soul. A sick, twisted, wretched thing. I pity you
Stoking fear? Like telling everyone that if you vote a certain way, it will be the LITERAL downfall of not only US civilization, but of civilization on the entire mother fucking PLANET!? Like stoking fear by saying that if they vote a certain way that LITERAL DEATH CAMPS will be common place? Like telling people that they are going to LITERALLY LOSE ALL OF THEIR RIGHTS!!? Like telling people that YOU ARE LITERALLY VOTING FOR LITERALLY HITLER!!!?
Like that kind of stoking fear?
Difference there is that most of the fear of trump in the white house is based on the things he himself has said and already done.
…already done.
You understand that he was President once already?
And that you guys said all of the same shit the first time around?
And here we still are?
Member?! I member!!
Wasn’t SOOOO cute when families were ripped apart after 2016. Kids were kept in cages. You remember that little peccadillo, Covid .
Fuck off
I remember when Obama was doing that. I also remember when even MSNBC was boasting that the Biden administration deported more people than Trump did, ON ELECTION NIGHT! They were parading that stat around like it was the best thing ever!
Oh, you guys just don’t like it when it’s a non Democrat that is putting up record deportation numbers?
Got it!
Families ripped apart you say?
Since much of that can be shown by simply quoting things Trump says verbatim, what are you on about and why are there so many random bold words?
Are you implying that Trump has “verbatim” said that we will have “death camps”? And that we will “loose all our rights”? And that “he is Hitler”?
Source please.
“Why are there so many randomly bold words?” Sorry, I was just trying to match the tone of the room. Nobody listens to you unless you are screaming in their face that they are “literally being assaulted” on the internet. Also, I have to give you SOMETHING to attack beside the actual point! Sure, it’s my formatting that is the REAL problem!
