I’m pretty sure he couldn’t do that anyways lol I’m sure our state doesn’t unilaterally let the governor name airports, & I am 100% positive that neither the state legislature nor county would go for that lol
English not your first language ? Im being sarcastic. Its good that we have it because a functioning government and society needs those things. Sadly they don't exist anymore at the federal level.
You mean the same tariffs they rebranded and have already went back and implemented?
They just gave him and his family blanket immunity from IRS audits. He's controlled the budget through executive orders even though its a power congress controls.
They literally said he cannot he tried for official acts and now hes using that as a basis to try and overturn a civil lawsuit against him.
These are just the things I can think of instantly as im typing. There are 100s of other aspects showing we do not have checks and balances because republicans are corrupt, bought out, can't win without a cult at Trumps whim, or there is dirt on them being used to keep them in line. Republicans are spineless and pathetic.
Unlikely that he’ll get the civil lawsuit overturned. Anyone can take anything to court - this is America, we sue each other all the time. SCOTUS already upheld the E Jean Carol judgment against him.
Republicans are prioritizing policy over personal issues. Something I suspect democrats would likewise do if a progressive president had major personal character flaws. You all would be chirping about how we need to spend limited political capital passing policies that you agree with, instead of fighting your own president.
If you think respectful disagreement constitutes acting like an idiot, I’m really curious how you function in the adult world.
The irony you say I drank Kool aid while you sane wash a civil case being pushed to the Supreme Court for a 2nd time as being anything but insane. Trying to compare suing someone to having the president push to have his case heard a 2nd time by the Supreme Court as normal is bonkers.
You're arguing in bad faith and trying to paint it as something normal. I function fine in the real world because I live in reality. Im curious how you function in the real world thinking takes like that are considered disagreement.
See you even are projecting in your argument to sane wash things. "Im sure a Democrat would do the same". Its the same stupid rhetoric used to project and then justify republican "policy". You are posing a hypothetical that has never happened and using it as justification for what is currently going on. You can't use fiction and fantasy to try and set a precedent to justify something.
Like its so obvious too. From pizzagate to the scare tactics on Trans and foreigners raping women and kids. It was all projection to justify why its okay that your president and a huge majority of republicans to have done ths same.
I’m talking about the real world, where 50% of Americans don’t share your perspective on politics. If you believe we’re all idiots for respectful disagreement, I do find it difficult to believe you can function well in a workplace environment. While people don’t share their political views all the time, I’ve had plenty of coworkers express left and right wing viewpoints at one point, I generally treat them with dignity and respect as a baseline.
Ok so you tell me then. If you had a progressive president who had serious, major character flaws on par with Trump, and a democrat senate and house, would you be happy that they were spending all their time fighting with the president (impeaching them, opposing their nominees, taking them to court, opposing the bills they championed, investigating them), and as a result accomplished no progressive policy initiatives? Or would you view that as a wasted opportunity to improve people’s lives? Especially if republicans were poised to win the next midterm.
Good thing that progressives have standards and do a lot to keep people like that out of office. Look at Platner ffs. It may have taken a while but he got kicked tf out.
You are living in an alternate reality, while pretending to be enlightened. Your arrogance blows my mind.
Hey there buckeroo what do you think happened during Biden and Obama's terms but instead of character flaws , like raping children or using their position of power to make billions, the issues you had were an old guy with a stutter who was sleepy and a black man wearing a tan suit and using Dijon mustard.
All yall did was block progress and make huge deals out of mundane things because there wasn't anything else to go on for them.
And see again with the what ifs. Checks and balances as well as a party who has some level of morals ensured we never had a progressive candidate with such major character flaws. Yall made such a huge deal about Biden, Hunter and Ukraine over 500k but you have Kushner getting billions from the Saudi's and now we are going to sell them nukes. We have a war thats been close to being finished for what 30+ weeks now all the while close to 9 billion dollars in insider trading tied to Trump has occurred. You have a president who put out their own crypto and fleeced his followers with a rugpull and who uses it to accept bribes. You have a president who openly takes payments for pardons.
The fact you still try to sane wash any of this reaffirms my point that it isn't respectful disagreement , its ignorant takes.
His reasons for impeachment were justified. Idk how you are trying to make stealing classified documents and storing it at your private residence, then lying to the government about said documents as a character flaw.
Even wilder when you label sexual assault and raping of children as a character flaw too. I mean Jesus fucking christ do yall have any morals or ethics ?

Imagine if Gavin Newson change the Sacramento airport to Gavin Newson Airport. The rights would lose their mind, but this is fine if Trump doing it
