Those get destroyed when you have an amoral president that doesn't give a poo poo about scandal. Bonus points when the Senate is too scared of his effects on their reelection to do anything about it. The outrageous stuff isn't what's illegal, it's what's legal.

They also enjoy having a monkey run around and fling poo poo everywhere to distract everyone while they do the dirty work for their benefactors. Sure, the poo poo smell is annoying sometimes, but the lack of spotlight is fantastic for their agenda.

Just a reminder that he's been talking about this for a long time https://www.voanews.com/press-freedom/trumps-voa-criticism-shows-us-funded-news-doesnt-mean-us-approved quote:Last month, President Donald Trump joined some of his predecessors who have taken issue with VOA's news coverage – but with unprecedented intensity and shrillness. It really goes to show how much tradition and self restraint have shaped politics that the closest to a caudillo America has seen is a spray tanned buffoon who never has had majority support.

LingcodKilla posted:Good lord why does the president hold this power? Was the presidency really this broken? Congress learned after the Iraq war that votes can have consequences for elections. Why take a chance and vote for something that might get you kicked out of office, when you can muddle through and not actually do anything? Then they passed along any real decision making to the White House and feigned helplessness. "Sorry, I'd really like to help with the heroin problem back home, but that darn Obama just won't let me!"

McConnell has already flipped on that, now saying another stimulus bill is likely, but he wants tax cuts to go along with the state/federal funding, because of course he does. Tax cuts make number go up. Hell, even Senator Cornyn, a shitbag, said HEY, GOOD THING WE HAVE OBAMACARE FOR HEALTH INSURANCE the other day. Ol' Turtleface and others flipped because the red states are now getting their budgets creamed by COVID, and plus: https://twitter.com/ThePlumLineGS/status/1261040872659001348?s=19 It just took COVID a little while to get out of the cities. Now it's in the Trump counties. Suddenly, more aid is needed!

Something like 25% of the voting population controls 60% of senators (or 12%-ish if you count only the winning votes). Rough numbers, I can't find the last article I read on mobile. It's hilariously undemocratic and it's only going to get worse as the flyover states lose population E: Even with DC / Puerto Rico statehood we're still kinda hosed egyptian rat race fucked around with this message at 13:54 on May 15, 2020 |

I want to go back in time and tell starry-eyed teenage me that yes, in 20 years there will be a US Space Force, but it's going to be a half-assed PR stunt by an idiot reality show president. Who knows, it might stop me from joining the Air Force.
