President Donald Trump spent early Tuesday night making desperate phone calls and blasting Fox News before midterm election results came in.
“I have the ultimate power — it’s called ‘veto,’” President Trump told CBS News in a phone interview before polls first began to close in some states. Already, Trump appeared to make excuses for a potentially massive Republican loss.
Trump also called the Financial Times, assuring reporter Edward Lucas that the U.S. has no immediate plans to strike Iran, the Middle East country Trump started a war with in February.
Trump had a particular grudge against Fox News Tuesday night, texting commentator Greg Gutfeld about his disdain for liberal Fox News commentator Jessica Tarlov.
You ain’t just whistlin’ Dixie.
Trump 2.0 was so much worse than Trump 1.0 because this time around he surrounded himself by a cadre of sycophant enablers. Going after all of them will be easy, Pickens, and it’s not as if they don’t all belong in jail, too. Especially that Pete Hegseth motherfucker. I’m perfectly happy for Congress to impeach his ass. and then, of course, prosecute him to the fullest extent of the law.
And their replacements will have to be confirmed by a Democratic senate.
this also means no new Trumpy Supreme Court justices
Assuming they don’t cram one through in the next two months. After that, though, yeah, the Supreme Court is looking up. Both Thomas and Alito will be having their 80th birthdays before the end of the next Presidential term is over. With today’s Senate results the Democrats are likely to keep that chamber until 2032, at least. That means that if the next President is a Democrat (which is pretty likely) they’ll be able to replace both Thomas and Alito, moving the court from 6-3 Republican to 5-4 Democratic. If they can also convince some of the older Democratic justices to retire during that time then they can keep that majority for a good long while.
Before they get the chance to replace Thomas and/or Alito, their first priority with SCOTUS should be to expand the court to 13 seats and then fill those vacancies
Also they may be able to go after Musk for his doge bullshit, ideally they strip him of his shares, properties, and citizenship so as to ship his sub human ass back to South Africa broke as a popper.
