At least this one will be tougher. The postal service is in the constitution.

It's too early to take the black pill. All that's needed for the House to be a check on the executive is 1 republican to cross the aisle. The less popular Trump is, the easier that gets.

The "border" pun makes it pretty dad-esque

Good news! That's already the plan.

For everything.

The fuck does an anti-abortion center even do? Propaganda?

I really like dad jokes, but I don't have any kids. I guess that makes me a faux pas.

"No, we should focus on the problem that politicians still partially answer to voters."

Must be unnerving to know when you're going to die, since retirement won't really be a thing anymore.

The fact that 4 supreme court justices signed onto "A judge shouldn't have the power to order the president to spend money the way congress told him to, as explicitly described in the constitution" is terrifying. Wholly unsurprising, but terrifying.

Zweistein? The STR chad?

I swallowed my misgivings and voted Democrat, just like I've done at each election since I turned 18, but handwaving away valid criticisms is not how you get people to side with you. Pressure needs to be put on the democrats to be better, too.

The house's majority is slim enough that 2 defectors are all that's needed.

Does this need to go through congress?

We were already on that trajectory though. He just made it faster. If it sparks a meaningful backlash, it might turn out to have been a good thing.

With Zelenskyy saying the end of the war may be very far off, it looks like Ukraine is preparing to go ahead without US aid, rather than be pressured to give in to Russian ultimatums.

We could do (and have done) a lot worse. My only concern is whether or not he has the backbone to refuse to be steered to the right, the way Kamala was after the convention. His Midwestern politeness definitely didn't serve him well in the debate.

The problem is "kissing donor ass" is a euphemism for serving themselves.

I know McDonald's has been having a rough time recently, but I don't think expanding into that market is the answer.

One of the main architects of the status quo democrats thinks democrats need to respond to getting stomped by maintaining the status quo? Color me shocked.
