Trump becoming dictator coming true

VitaMan's Avatar
There are 3 branches of the federal government. A primary reason for that is checks and balances on power.


The Republicans will have control of both houses of Congress. Mr. Trump is already attempting to usurp any checks and balances on presidential power Congress may have.


Trump the dictator has arrived.

The question is will Congress roll over and give over their power to the presidency.

Plenty of republicans have been threatened by their own party members with primary battles during the next election if they don’t give in.

Some jackwad in Texas just introduced a bill that would allow the Texas legislature to recall a Senator simply with a majority vote. That’s a threat to the functioning of the federal government and an usurpation of the will of the voters who voted in the Senator.

The MAGA wing of the party will brook no opposition to der fuhrer Trump.

And here is the response from a Senator who hopes to be the majority leader:





Rick Scott, the closest Trump ally of the three for Senate majority leader, writes:

I will do whatever it takes to get your nominations through as quickly as possible.”



There is no longer a Republican party.

He can get his people through any legal way he wants. It’s called politics. Trump has a clear mandate to get his agenda done and he’ll use whatever political actions necessary to do so. This is what people voted for, get used to it.

Trump has no agenda. He isn’t smart enough to govern, just sow fear and create chaos.

The agenda will be driven by billionaires and fucking crackpots.

Some of the most malicious mofos in this country will push their agenda through Trump’s demented head (and untouched ear, btw).

Just wait…

I definitely can’t wait. It’s been a long time coming, and he won’t be surrounded by backstabbers this time.

That’s why the majority voted for Trump.

I’m not sure of the actual legality but it’s damned sure wrong.

The MAGA cult should not have to threaten members of their own party to get their way. I hate to break it to you but that’s fascist behavior.
