Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles. Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing other users of being bots or paid actors.
  3. No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
  4. No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have comments or posts removed, weaponize reports, or violate the code of conduct, will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.

That's all the rules!

He will becoome mr lame duck.

His last Congress didn’t do anything useful, I’m doubtful the American people would realize a difference.

The filthy blues just have to call their shit, “the help working people bill” or “stop poisoning our water,” etc and JD will be hamstrung in 2028.

If I threatened to my boss that I would just not do my job if I didn't get what I wanted, I'd probably be fired on the spot, but to each their own I guess.

I think that governors and presidents alike shouldn't have direct veto power. Their job is to enact the will of congress and the people.

If veto is retained in a future America, I suggest the following:

  • 1: The leader nominates an congressionally approved law for being vetoed.

  • 2: A 30 day window opens, where voters can send in a ballot to approve the veto. 51% of the ballots have to agree with the veto to cancel the incoming law.

  • 3: Voters can mark on their ballot whether to automatically prevent the leader from being able to nominate laws for veto. If 51% of the cast ballots agree to lame the leader, that leader loses veto power for the rest of their term.

  • 4: If a lamed leader is voted into office for another term, a ballot is sent out to voters. They will decide whether to restore veto powers to that leader. 51% of cast ballots have to agree to do the restoration.

A leader has to risk losing their veto privilege when exercising it, especially if it becomes a cudgel of choice for them.

If after such Reconsideration two thirds of that House shall agree to pass the Bill, it shall be sent, together with the Objections, to the other House, by which it shall likewise be reconsidered, and if approved by two thirds of that House, it shall become a Law.

To enjoy all the money he has stolen so far he would need to spend like a million dollars per day based on how he looks closer to the other side.

So why even get more money? Why continue making others miserable?

That's one way to go. How about going the PresiDunce Assassinated route?

Or even better the PresiDunce Untreatable Cancer that's amazingly PAINFUL but suffered over years route?
