Trump planning to take power away from Congress...

[Phenomenally Frantastic]

That you can look at Kamala Harris and call her a "radical leftist" is 99% of the problem. Too many Americans are unmoored from political reality.

She is a radical leftist. How deranged are you man?

She advocated every single one of these policies. She was LEFT OF Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren.

She was the most radical candidate in US history. BY FAR!

-25% wealth confiscation
-Abolishing ICE
-Decriminalizing illegal crossings
-Defunding the police
-Mandatory gun buy backs (confiscations)
-Nationalizing energy
-Banning fracking
-Banning off shore drilling
-Abolishing the filibuster
-Stacking the Supreme Court
-Ending private health insurance
-Free healthcare for all including illegals
-Mass amnesty for illegals
-Ending the death penalty
-Abolishing prisons
-Ending cash bail
-Ending mandatory minimum sentences
-Imposing carbon tax
-Child gender reassignment surgery and hormone replacement therapy

Waiting for @FAUlty Gator and @binsfeldcyhawk2 to chime in to either apologize for being wrong for years or to tell us how this isn't authoritarianism, or no big deal. Again, you guys want checks and balances and Trump 100% wants to blow that up. Project 2025, or that famous red herring, wants to blow the Constitution up. I'm waiting for the both sides guys to start getting pissed off about what's about to happen to their country.

“Boy who cried wolf in 2016, cries wolf in 2024”

“But why won’t they believe me!”

If I counted right, you listed 19 things.

Several of them are made up. Several more almost certainly don't mean what you've been told they mean by your echo chamber.

The rest are actually good policies - policies we should be implementing or at least debating.

Of those, Kamala probably agreed with 2/3 when she ran in 2019-20 and maybe agreed with 1/3 in 2024.

In regards to the thread title.

The legislative branch has acceded more and more power to the executive branch since Teddy Roosevelt
They’ve willingly abrogated their responsibilities and power to the executive branch.

Just my 2 bits.

Interesting article on the subject

Digital History

Older article but if anything executive power has grown

Here’s one from the Trump first term

https://www.pogo.org/analysis/congress-must-reclaim-its-role-as-a-check-on-executive-power

I read this as you saying Trump having more power is no biggie.

Actually congress abrogating their power to the executive branch is a bigger problem than Trump.

He’s going to take advantage of it for sure. You won’t like it. I probably won’t like it.

The thing is people like you have no problem when it’s your guy doing it.



Biden used the Covid “emergency” and the Heroes act in August of 22 for his first student loan relief. Executive over reach that was rightfully struck down by the Supreme Court. You’d term his action “authoritarian” if his last name was trump.

Couple more biden “authoritarian” (your definition) actions you didn’t give 2 shits about because you agreed with them

Supreme Court Ends Biden’s Eviction Moratorium (Published 2021)

The ruling followed political and legal maneuvering by the administration to retain protections for tenants. It puts hundreds of thousands at risk of being put out of their homes.

www.nytimes.com

So now Trump will push executive power to the limit and you won’t like it. Maybe you should have cared about the abuse of executive authority before now.
Don’t get me started on the filibuster which you railed against and now it’s the democrats best friend.

Did Biden do ANYTHING for personal gain?

 

[binsfeldcyhawk2]

Indeed. See post 15

It would be interesting to see you have a conversation with my data manager, a Cuban émigré, about why she prefers the system where you buy healthcare to the one where it is 'free' and 'universal'.

 

[Phenomenally Frantastic]

Hunter in the White House as his “most trusted advisor” … so selfless!

The difference is that when Biden may have overreached, he was doing it to protect and help people.

What's your guy's excuse?

 

[cigaretteman]

Trump is a traitor to our nation and always has been. He violated his oath of office on a daily basis in his first administration and will continue to do so in his second.

 

[franklinman]

That sounds like a great idea. It’s sad that the D’s continue to spend money we don’t have.

Lmao, stink'n cons will not even pay the bills they put on the old CC. Every year they, dead beats run up the bills and refuse to pay them when they are due.

 

[Tom Paris]

Sigh…

Glad you took your own advice and took a breath. Probably necessary when your head is in the sand so much.

 

[libbity bibbity]

Trump is a traitor to our nation and always has been. He violated his oath of office on a daily basis in his first administration and will continue to do so in his second.

So, creating a worldwide invasion against the country he swore an oath to protect isn't treasonous on the behalf of Bidumb?

 

[Finance85]

I've been thinking about this. Should we do a what-about-Biden going forward?

Did Biden get approval from Congress to ignore immigration laws by EO?
This is my favorite - Did Biden get approval from Congress (per Nancy Pelosi) to forgive student loan debt?
Has Biden gotten approval from Congress for the aid to Ukraine funneled through the DoD budget?

I'll stop there for a moment. There doesn't seem to be an understanding of all the slush funds in the federal government that are allocated to departments to spend as they see fit. Earmarks aren't always a bad idea.

 

[Doodads and Hoohah]

Hunter in the White House as his “most trusted advisor” … so selfless!

Haha. That's your example??

 

[What Would Jesus Do?]

The constitution is just a piece of paper. And old.

If the UK doesn't need a formal written constitution, why should we?

And if we are going to have one, let's bring it into the 21st century.

(Serious about the last point.)

[fsu1jreed]

I think he should declare Martial Law on day 1. Arrest thousands of Democrats from Biden’s criminal administration and have military tribunals.

Which is exactly what a piece of shit human would want

 

[seminole97]

What's your guy's excuse?

Your problem is you believed that printing money is a solution and thereby don't understand reducing the deficit will help people.

 

[franklinman]

It sounds to me, that CRAZY brain dead Filthy Don is having another wet dream. Hope he cleans that up.

 

[What Would Jesus Do?]

Your problem is you believed that printing money is a solution and thereby don't understand reducing the deficit will help people.

That's way out in left field. Republicans don't reduce deficits. They will try to cut some spending, but then they'll use that as an excuse to cut taxes on the rich by even more.

And, meanwhile, the spending they cut - doubtless heavily from the safety net and other important services - will leave people worse off.

 

[What Would Jesus Do?]

Damn that ignorant hunh?

I confess to being too ignorant to understand what you were trying to say.

 

[seminole97]

That's way out in left field.

MMT was from WAAAAY out in left field, you still fell for it, and still don't seem to grasp why it is a terrible and regressive tax.

And, meanwhile, the spending they cut - doubtless heavily from the safety net and other important services - will leave people worse off.

Again, inflation is a regressive tax. We're never going to come out ahead inflating the money supply to transfer wealth - the poor bear the brunt in prices of consumption goods, while the rich are protected (even sometimes advantaged) by increasing asset prices.
Quit supporting regressive policies.
