I’ve been going round and round with my mom about this. 82, cognitively declining but not senile, devout Christian (Southern Baptist/Episcopal) who’s always been your traditional “values voter.”

I’ve been ranting for months about certain evangelicals’ embrace of Trump. So yeah, she voted for him. And I said from here…

I like boinked. Also bonked, banged, and shagged.

He wasn’t rich or powerful at that time - it was Stars Wars that brought him fame and wealth.

But yeah - complete douchebag.

Veto only applies to laws passed by Congress - and if there are enough votes, Congress can override the veto.

Exactly. It’s very, very, very difficult to get a Constitutional amendment done. Lengthy and Byzantine process. It was designed to be so.

Good point.

That would be a miracle. And if anyone would do it, it would be an agent of chaos like Trump. Unfortunately I think his ego and hubris are too much for something like this. And yeah - Brazile and DWS are probably dead chicks walking already - DWS has been for a while - by Podesta needs to go too. He can blame Comey…

I just get so frustrated. You know that if things had gone the other way, esp. if Clinton had won the EC and Trump the PV, Republicans would be in the streets with the Not My President bs.

I think it started under Clinton - I don’t remember Not My President and fainting and weeping under GHWB. Started with Republicans…

It’s a fact check to the extent the writers are explaining what Trump can and can’t do on his own.

That’s the thing. Trump’s always talking about we’ll do this, that, and the other thing, but most of his ideas involve Congress passing legislation. He can’t do that - only Congress can. Do not assume the President’s…

No, they’re not. They don’t have to shit themselves because he can’t make them write and pass anything. They control the legislature, not him. Mitch McConnell has already said the Senate won’t take up term limits. And they’re not gonna worry about infrastructure either - it’s not a priority for them. Nor, for that…

They can’t get unlimited anything. They do not have a supermajority in either house. 52-48 in the Senate, 239/192 in the Senate. They can’t pass stuff on their own unless they get every single Republican to vote yes on every single bill and that won’t happen.

Only thing they can do is pass stuff via reconciliation,…

Biased as hell, yes, but they do understand the constitutional process and they’re in a good position to explain just what Trump can and can’t do in his first 100 days.

(If Republicans would dump most of their religious-oriented social platform I’d probably vote (R) a lot more. As it stands now I mostly vote independent.)

Hell yes, this all day.

I bitched on Twitter yesterday about how in 2012, after Romney lost, my mom mused that it was time for Republicans get abortion and…

One of the reasons Congress holds so little power today is that the during GWB and then Obama’s terms, Congress allowed both Presidents to expand executive power by signing statements and regulations, thereby getting what they wanted when without going through Congress. Somehow in the last few years a lot of Americans…

And fried chicken. And he eats steaks well done. Barbaric.

Yes and yes!! Y’all this is gonna be a lot of fun.

Add Gretchen Wilson and Miranda Lambert and we’d have us a party. Plus Miranda could pay for everyone’s bail.

Is that Uneasy Rider? Because he can get away with a lot of shit based on that alone.

I like to pretend he’s senile.

I don’t know why she’s always doing that....whatever she’s doing with her sleeves. It seems like she’s always wearing not-the-good-kind-of-funky sleeves.

If you’ve never heard Robbie Fulks’ Fuck This Town, I urge you to find it and listen.
