there are no easy methods to stop it. if it was easy they would have done it. the only options are to do very difficult things that end up getting you arrested (which, you know, a few democrats are doing and getting arrested for)
I'm sorry, but there was a court case about top secret documents in a bathroom that never went to trial in 4 fucking years. That would have stopped it.
If Bidens AG pushed that case with the urgency it deserved, we would not be in this shit show.
Every single one of Trumps immediate executive actions could have been tested by the Biden admin during his time to get the SC opinion on executive overreach before it was Trump doing the same.
Specifically, Biden, at any time, could have pushed the DOJ to make the toilet trial happen immediately. But instead, we have Trumps DOJ building concentration camps in 8 days and filling it with people who have no due process.
All it takes for evil to prevail is good men to stand by and do nothing.
This trail was 4 years of that.
It easily could have prevented all this. Instead it sat on a back burner and we were told it wasn't worth watching as there was no way it would boil over.
You want to tell me that there's no way the Dems could have looked at that pot in 4 years to prevent it from boiling over?
How about not taking years to look at it?
The Dems are either gullible or stupid for taking so long, neither of which is an excuse for letting that trial never happen considering the consequences would be the supercharged orange Shitler we now have as a leader.
Voting ‘no’ on bills and nominees is very easy for them. They don’t do it.
How’d the GOP force the Democrats to send a ‘thank you’ to ICE for their current crackdown?
This is false.
Republicans control all three branches of government. The Dems could vote no on everything and it'll still pass without a few Republicans also voting no, which they have proven they won't do.
A lot of this bullshit is coming from executive orders that shouldn't be allowed, but the Republican controlled supreme Court is hand waving that shit through. These COMPLETELY BYPASS CONGRESS.
Literally ANY procedural rule the Dems could use to thwart them is a hand wave from some Republicans away from not existing.
I dont like ice and I dont like the democrats who sent a thank you note.
Then stop repeating the lies they’re telling to pretend they can’t do anything about it.
would it help if I told you im not a democrat
What’s the material difference between a Democrat vs someone who’s not a Democrat but dutifully repeats their propaganda?
