Republicans routed as Democrats gain powerful new leverage over Trump for remainder of his presidency
Democrats have regained control of the US Senate, routing Republicans nationwide with historic victories that will give them powerful new leverage over Donald Trump for the remainder of his presidency.
Democrats will soon have the ability to hold up not just Trump’s legislative agenda, but also any appointments he makes to his cabinet or the federal judiciary – including the supreme court, where conservatives have a 6-3 majority.
Now boot Schumer and Jeffries, because they’ll be doing their best to take the GOP’s place.
Write your local reps now and demand that they not be put in charge again.
Bruh if they put those guys back in charge Americans need to fucking riot.
Think of all the letters they can write!
Jeffries thinks he gets paid to advertise Depends.
Bring back Sinema and Joe Manchin \s
…and where’s John Fetterman? Is he a Republican yet?
Speaker doesn’t have to be current elected person, they could still pick Obama if they want. Trump would hate that.
Is that true? It would be epic.
Trumps Obama-hatred could be resolved by just getting a gay man give a 15 minute speech on how attractive Obama is every week or two.
Eventually Trumps flamboyant inner queer would push some levers and he’d like Obama all of a sudden but wouldn’t be able to explain why.
