some_guyTrump-appointed judge halts Biden administration credit card late fee cap
Boomer Humor DoomergodEvery time we elect a Republican president we have to start rolling the ball all the way back up the hill again. Every goddamn time.
Good news! Apparently a lot of excitingly new young progressives are mad we haven’t rolled it back up high enough and are refusing to help!
Wait. Okay, not good news. Sorry.
Because they’re not rolling it up fast enough! Can’t you see? They just have to roll it faster and preferably all the way and then I’ll get excited and help. Yup. Don’t forget until then it’s all your fault too.
It is our fault that we aren’t organized enought. Empowering other progressives enough.
Chips act, IRA, union empowerment, student debt, marijuana reform, etc etc etc. Anyone that says Biden isn’t doing anything is wilfully ignorant.
Isn’t. Doing. Enough.
All you’re doing is exactly what the parent comment described.
Flying SquidThis is why Trump’s “dictator on day one” comment isn’t taken with the seriousness it needs to be.
People already think presidents are dictators.
Couldn’t agree more. There’s a huge misunderstanding that the President is the most important facet of government, but the Executive has remarkably little ability to influence the law aside from directing the various agencies on how they should operate and utilizing the power of veto to check the legislative.
Trump won’t be a dictator on day one because that’s not how the office of President works. He will be, though, if Project 2025 is allowed to be implemented and they get rid of all the barriers to him having unilateral unchecked authority. This is also predicated on the possibility that he will not be held accountable by the courts and the Supreme Court rules that he can commit crimes and label them as “official acts”.
The big misunderstanding is that people think Trump alone can fulfill all of his campaign promises and Biden simply won’t, when the reality is that Biden can’t do it alone and neither can Trump (yet).
