Good thing the Democrats already gave up all their leverage for the next six months, or else they might be expected to do something to capitalize on this.

Honestly when they resist him, he just goes around saying his amazing, super brilliant, swam draining, anti corruption plans are being hindered by evil corrupt democrats. By stepping back they get blame for doing nothing but Trump gets full blame for the way he manages the country.

The one interesting thing to look for in next election is whether it can be rigged or not.

If yes then that's the end of US as democracy

If no then Trump could potentially become a sitting duck for the rest of his presidency.

[–] emergence_trailblazer@sh.itjust.works 12 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

I understand what you mean, but it anyway sounds like a bad strategy. How much suffering just for the hope that things will resolve themselves in the end ?

More over, if he has free hands, I strongly doubt that the next elections in the US will be fair.

Other comments here complete my view: blaming minorities, lack of good quality information etc...

[–] DoubleSpace@lemm.ee 0 points 5 hours ago

There is no good move to make. The problem is that we can't even agree on the least bad options to slow it down.

[–] credo@lemmy.world 6 points 6 hours ago

Or.. now hear me out.. we let America get exactly what it voted for. Democrats can’t keep bailing out the republicans.

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

Ya'll are absolutely overestimating the power of the continue resolution vote. It was never going to turn things around.

[–] null_dot@lemmy.dbzer0.com 77 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

Timie for the daily reminder that economic hardships will be blamed on migrants, the gayness, abortions, primary school teachers, et cetera. A recession will fuel fascist agendas.

[–] N0body@lemmy.dbzer0.com 23 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Just wait until intelligence cuts lead to failures that cause the next 9/11. The disinfo machine will be the next Reichstag Fire.

[–] adarza@lemmy.ca 5 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

cause the next 9/11

just that?

we couldn't possibly be that lucky.

[–] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 1 points 29 minutes ago

Yeah the lack of homeland security (ugh) is more likely going to allow the domestic terrorists to spread.

I don't think being Gay will crucified like being Trans, if only because Peter Thiel is gay.

[–] Stern@lemmy.world 10 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

He's a "good" gay, at least until they can get rid of him.

[–] ms_lane@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

He's the ringleader here...

[–] MyOpinion@lemm.ee 31 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

The Orange Turd is going to tank things like he always does. Since he is a dictator now there will be no rescue this time.

[–] adarza@lemmy.ca 7 points 6 hours ago

since he has no future election to worry about, he literally has nothing to lose--and everything to steal, tear apart, destroy, or burn on his way out.

[–] Tylerdurdon@lemmy.world 17 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago) (3 children)

Trump giving the economy the shocker is shocking, and we're 6% through his 4 year "term." Things couldn't get worse, could they?

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 10 points 7 hours ago

Better stock up on toilet paper.

[–] __________@lemmy.org 4 points 5 hours ago

"4 year term" hahaha.

[–] krashmo@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

6% is farther along than I would have guessed. That actually makes me feel better in a weird way.

[–] Pheonixdown@lemm.ee 7 points 6 hours ago

That's because we aren't even 4% through.

[–] CitizenKong@lemmy.world 10 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

All according to Putin's plans.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 10 points 4 hours ago

FTFY: All according to Putin’s ~~plans~~ orders.

i predict trump decrees it “fake news” 😴

America needs to be thankful they didn't get Liz Truss

[–] MrScottyTay@sh.itjust.works 8 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Isn't what trump is doing worse than Liz Truss though? Especially considering he's doing more than just economical collapse.

[–] Billybob22@feddit.uk -3 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Yes but she was way more annoying.

Than Trump? Fucking lol.

[–] sirico@feddit.uk 3 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Have they even said thank you once for James Corden?

[–] Billybob22@feddit.uk 1 points 1 hour ago

No thanks needed, just keep him, please.

[–] HowAbt2morrow@futurology.today 1 points 8 hours ago

Let is all fucking burn down. Enough grift and collusion to make “printed money”, wars for nepotism and laundering of money with poor peoples lives on both sides of the “conflict “.
