  1. ***From Rolling Stone’s Peter Wade:***

    Despite enjoying a 53-47 majority in the next Senate, Donald Trump called for any Republican senator seeking the position of majority leader to agree to make recess appointments during his administration, bypassing the traditional confirmation process. He also told his party to block any lame-duck judicial appointments the Biden administration tries to push through.

  4. Sounds to me like he’s going to appoint some really shady people — so much so that even moderate Republicans would balk at them. we’re so fucked.

  5. Donald Trump is a human dildo. A crap-stack so high it defies logic. A putrid human being of the lowest order. A humunculous. Our only hope is that he collapses upon himself from the sheer weight of his misdeeds, crushing his dark and hollow soul into the deepest trenches of the earth. 

  6. I just don’t understand what these GenZ men see in this pancaked makeup face.

  7. Then Biden should use his immunity powers and bypass the court process… official executive order, I answered to no one!

  8. Im not entirely sure what Trump is talking about here. You’ve always been allowed to do recess appointments.

  9. When it comes to judicial nominees democrats should buck any tradition and do what they can to get nominees passed considering McConnell nuked that with the whole Garland/Barrett hypocrisy. I don’t know enough about the rules. I know typically republicans in the home state would need to approve but if they can get around that they should. Republicans will not stop doing stuff like this.

  10. I live in a swing state and MY BALLOT WAS NEVER COUNTED, was yours?? Everyone please check and make noise if something is wrong.

  11. He loves 2 things, bitching about cheaters, and cheating.

  13. Sounds like somebody who intends to be a real threat, and perhaps completely dismantle democracy entirely. I hope Biden’s weighing his total immunity for official acts carefully and planning what’s going to be necessary to preserve the constitution.

  14. They have tested and obliterated the boundaries just getting him in again. It’s only going to get worse and soon he will be on tv 3-5 hours a day doling out his vengeance while telling us how smart and beautiful he is. While I finish typing this I am enduring a commercial for the Trump victory coin 🇺🇸

  15. Deep state: the conspiracy theory that unelected, unaccountable people are controlling the government secretly.

    These mf’s really suck at the secretly part.

  16. “Trump Tells GOP to Bypass [checks and balances].”

    The irony is a portion of his supporters think he’s a constitutionalist, another portion shrugs it off as rhetoric, and another laughs and says, “yeah fuck the woke!”

    Shit like this lowers the standards of OUR Democracy.

  17. The democrats had a chance to put this degenerate fascist in prison and they balked.

  19. It’s okay for Republicans to “ram through” their judicial appointments, but not Democrats. Got it.

  20. It’s happening and it is going to be very bad.

  21. I’ll just keep saying this time and time again. This type of crap is exactly what the American people voted for. It’s gonna be a long 4 years and we will feel the negative effects for a generation. We deserve it

  23. So he wants to appoint judges and officials without a senate hearing revealing their lack of qualifications and abundance of disqualifications. Probably wants to put Diddy in charge of HUD.

  24. Hey GOP senators, unless you want a dictator for life who can destroy your political career with a tweet, maybe, just maybe realize Trump is a lame duck with no political future after 4 years. That maybe, if you want to preserve democracy, you shouldn’t just do whatever he says.

  27. Go ahead Biden, play by the rules just like the other guys do.

  28. Weird. It’s like some dictator is just giving him directions over the phone.

  29. Ah yes, the anti-American President is back. So busy at each other’s throats we don’t pay attention to his fascist corruption .

  31. And yet Biden still congratulates and plans to meet with him. Dems: We’re letting the beasts eat us, but let’s at least prove our politeness and how well-behaved we can be! That’s because rich white Dems will be ok, but not the rest of us…
