The topic was brought up occasionally, and the response to the doomers was usually that the Left would implode once Trump won the election, and that they wouldn't have to worry about them ever again.

They did not take into account him losing, and now they're paying the price for it.

It's a retarded comparison. How was anyone supposed to predict an overblown "pandemic" and Republicans allowing a ridiculous surge of mail-in ballots never mind not raise a fuss when votes stopped being counted?
 
Even then I said that Manchin probably won't vote for court packing. He's a very centrist Democrat in West Virginia, one of the reddest states in the country, so he could lose his seat easily.
Doesn’t matter if he votes against it. If they get both seats, and they would if Trump fails, then Harris gets to act as a tiebreaker.
 
good job shuki. now whats more likely? trump only pushes for agenda items he promised because he knows they'll fail

or

democrats and rinos hate trump's populist agenda?

of the evidence ive shown, which is more likely.
I'd say a little from column A and a little more from column B.
There is some usefulness in promising things that you know won't be passed. It certainly exposes obstructionists to the demos.
 
From one conversation I had, I think it’s partly because Dems see Trump as a narcissist and an idiot, and Washington wasn’t and shouldn’t be prepared for what Trump brings to the table. They think Biden is a return to acting “presidential”.

I think more thats the cover story. Obama had crossovers on TV shows and even mini internet skits. I remember there was a video when Obama was making cereal and he was out of milk and said "Thanks Obama". like it was a catchphrase. The media ate up everything he did. He gets takeout? Hes a "man of the people" Trump gets takeout? He's a fat loser.

Obama gets random erection on Air Force one?

If they get both seats and Manchin is the only one that doesn't vote with the party, it would go 49-51, of course you can count on Romney to be a shit.
 
Holding important functions like this in random ass locations like this is an American tradition. Robert E. Lee surrendered and the Civil War was ended in some guy's house.
The point I was getting at is that they're falling back on attack pointless crap like Rudy's hair dye, instead of disputing the very serious charges that on the horizon.
 
Well, you can't say it isn't working. There's a ton of people who'll look at the evidence collected so far and act like it's nothing - all to own orange bad man because they let the corporate media tell them what is real, what isn't, and what their opinions should be. A zombie army of dipshits, if you will, that'll work for free to spread the word that he lost and there's "no evidence" or something similar to that.
Considering he's lost almost every lawsuit he's tried. I'd say yes the evidence is shit.

Remember when Trump invited that one football team to the White House and bought a bunch of fast food from places like McDonalds and Wendy’s, and all the news stations flipped out about it? I miss those times.
 
In a 50-50 tie. Manchin is a Democrat, so if he voted against it would be 51-49.
He does it enough times in an evenly split Senate, and the DNC finds itself either fielding a strong Democrat challenger or funding a RINO to primary the man. Manchin's position is not at all secure, and he gets by by being a moderate when he can be easily spotted.

Your first paragraph is a lie; The founding fathers explictly had little trust in the general population to run everything so they created a mixed system based off the Roman Republic.
I'm the one who spams the Farms with huge chunks of Polybius every other week, so you're preaching to the bishop. But we needn't confine ourselves to antiquity; I quoted Madison, Adams, and Franklin in support of the proposition that the US Constitution establishes a government that is founded and dependent upon her people. And I can add Jefferson: "Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed." Were they lying, too?

The populace, the electorate, is the ultimate source of authority in the United States. If sufficiently motivated, they can change the Constitution in any way they desire, or enact any law they want. Given a few years to replace enough legislators, the people could amend the Constitution such that every government employee is beheaded at dawn and governance of the country is handed over to a random number generator. (This would be slightly more fair than the current electoral regime.) There's not a thing the government can (legally) do about it, because the Constitution gives that power to the people.

Every US law is passed by the people, indirectly, through their representatives. Every Constitutional office is filled by the people, either directly or indirectly. Every Constitutional officeholder can be removed by the people, directly or indirectly. The legislature is representative of the people, and ultimately answerable to it (or to the people's representatives in state legislatures, in the original form of the Senate); legislators routinely run for re-election and may be removed by their constituents. The executive has authority over that sphere of action over which the people's representatives cannot reasonably act, such as war and foreign affairs; he is elected indirectly by the people, through procedures established by their representatives in state legislatures, and subject to removal if he fails to secure re-election, or if enough legislators decide to remove him. And the judicial power, appointed by the executive with the consent of (half) the legislature, provides expert interpretation of the laws and regulations created by the political branches; any judge can be removed by the legislature. So every office holder encumbers that position at the pleasure of the people, because if enough people get riled up, that office holder will be voted out or impeached. There is not one office, not one person, in the US government whose power does not flow from the people.
 
I believe there was Pizza Hut as well. The media made a big deal out of it knowing trump lives for McDonald's.
When The Donald still had a subreddit, I loved the memes they had of it. That one reporter who kept being the first one yelling at Trump, that one who got in some trouble for holding back an aide from stopping him asking questions, had one made of him whining for a toy. I hate that I look back on those times as simple, compared to everything now.
 
Fox News/Business is now interviewing a Michigan woman who says she was harassed into certifying the votes there.
Fox must have been mortified by their latest ratings report.
Shame their base is forever gone. Bad time to have told 80 million people they should shut up and stop complaining.
As an aside, I'm fascinated by the variety of personalities in this thread.
