Clowns doing clown things and Americans suffering for it.

But hey, the majority of voting Americans voted for it, so FAFO.

Not quite. No presidential candidate got a majority of the popular vote. Trump got more of the popular vote than Kamala did. 49.80% and 48.33% respectively.

Yes, I’m being pedantic. Does it really matter? No, probably not.

The correct phrasing would be that he received a plurality of votes.

Well yeah but basically every candidate gets more than one vote so getting a plurality doesn’t mean much

FAFO indeed, liberals. This is what decades of your ideology has enabled.

Enjoy!

Just because our side sucks it doesn’t preclude the fact their side is much worse.

This comment make so little sense, I can only assume you’re mentally handicapped.

First of all, no party has maintained power for decades. Secondly, how would decades of liberal ideology be responsible for Republican’s traitorous actions?

Pulled so the court case goes away. They don’t want official rulings on the limits of presidential power. Not a reason to celebrate.

The White House confirmed that OMB pulled the memo Wednesday in a two sentence notice sent to agencies and departments, but said that Trump’s underlying executive orders targeting federal spending in areas like diversity, equity and inclusion and climate change, remained in place.

They should still try to pursue the lawsuits on the basis of damage already caused, if for no other reason than clarity around presidential v congressional power.

I understand and agree with the general concept of a case being moot when the underlying situation has already been resolved, but sometimes I really wish there was a way for proceedings like this to continue so we actually get rulings.

Sigh. Yeah.

I wanted to be silly and make a joke about justice blue balls. I even had typed up “Justice deferred is justice boner denied.” - which is a pretty good line, but fuck this is soul crushing. Too soul crushing for boner jokes, even.
