AOC thinking the ADL cant just crush her and her shitty career like a bug lol
Democrats are going to spend the next four years lashing out against each other and pointing fingers while Trump has the presidency, congress, the senate and scotus.
These next four years are gonna be brutal for leftists.
Now all the GOP has to do is not fuck up in the midterms.
 
I know it's been said but fuuuuuuck is Reddit losing it's mind over the Elon things

No exaggeration here, the ENTIRE FRONT PAGE of r/all is just that one picture of Musk doing the thing. They are going absolutely APESHIT over it. The frothing at the mouth is incredible. This weird ass wave is what sets them off? Not all the EO's Trump just signed? Not Biden handing out pardons to everyone including his own family, not the J6'ers getting out but this...some autistic' guy weird ass heart hand wave. Ho Lee Fuk...it's awesome to see them just meltdown.
 
cartels don't fuck around with the US government. In particular, they do their very best to avoid killing enough Americans to necessitate US military intervention.
This is absolutely true. To remind people of how much they do not want a fight with the U.S. military, they apologized and handed over cartel members who kidnapped and killed some American tourists going to Mexico for cosmetic surgery in 2023.

“In its letter, the Gulf cartel said it respects the "life, tranquility and integrity of the innocent" and apologized to "the society of Matamoros ... the affected American individuals, and families."

"In addition the CDG asks society to remain calm because we are committed to ensure that these errors caused by indiscipline aren’t repeated. The guilty parties will pay, regardless of who they are," the letter reads.
 
Do the executive orders hold the weight to actually change things? Or can they be overturned by others?
Yes, they dictate how policy of the federal government are to be executed or interpreted. For instance all the DEI shit thats been in the fed government was an EO from Biden. For instance, Trump can make a EO to the IRS to not interpret tips as income for tax purposes. Trump isnt changing tax law, but how tax regulations are interpreted and executed by that federal department (The IRS in this case). All EO's remain in effect until rescinded by another EO.

EO's can be challenged however by department heads, or if their execution is somehow violating another law, such as Biden writing an EO to "forgive student debt". Thats just not within his power to do as the leader of the executive branch.
