On topic after topic, President Trump made clear that he would be the arbiter of any limits to his authorities, not international law or treaties.
Its not like the American Revolution and Constitution are total rejections of this view or anything.
It’s in the works and even MAGAs are clamoring for a tax strike . Then there is the general strike movement . There is also the Women’s March .
We had a sort of General Strike going when we shut the government down. We didn’t shut down our own jobs, but we shut down the government, which was the most pressing problem. We were willing to wait out the hunger and lack of government assistance for as long as it took, all the way to the Midterm elections if necessary. The entire Midterm campaign could have been a massive nationwide food and medical drive to help the people that MAGA abandoned.
But as soon as it started to affect the airports, and corporations couldn’t move their operatives around, the cowardly DINO leadership voluntarily surrendered within 48 hours, and got less than nothing in return, just deserved humiliation and the righteous indignation of their base.
We could be a lot more effective if the people we hired had our backs. We have theirs, but they don’t seem to care, they’ve got Insider Trading on their minds.
What do you mean “we”?? The government shut down the government. The American people had no part in that.
We definitely supported it.
Sure… but supporting something and actually doing something are two different things. What if we still wanted the government shutdown but democrats didn’t? Who do you think would get their way? Us or the politicians? You make it seem like we the people went to D.C. and shut it down ourselves.
I will agree that overall, they don’t care about us much, but if they didn’t care about us at all, as you assert, the government would never have shut down in the first place. It’s not so much that they care about us personally, but they care very much about our votes, so they have to pretend. They were trying to preserve Obamacare for the PEOPLE, not because they care, but because they knew that just letting it go without a fight would hurt them later at the polls.
The potential outrage from voters influenced them to pursue the shutdown in the first place. Unfortunately, they eventually folded, because ultimately, the DINO Bosses are weak, cowardly, insipid, wormy little bitches.
