Cornish Steve Posted November 20, 2020 Report Share Posted November 20, 2020 I thought I'd posted this before, but maybe not. IMO, this is the strategy the president is adopting. This is why he's having (possibly illegal) meetings with Republican leaders from both Michigan and Pennsylvania. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palfy Posted December 27, 2020 Report Share Posted December 27, 2020 How the fuck has the American system given so much power to their Presidents, that they can single handedly hold their own people to ransom when things don’t go there way, it’s becoming a dictatorship under Trump.

They can’t. The bills could override the veto with a supermajority, the votes are already there . But repubs don’t want to go against their own.

We are hearing Republicans are now standing against him yet he still refuses to do the right things, he’s refused to sign the bill that was agreed by Democrats and Republicans yet he’s still playing god putting millions of Americans in poverty and closing government departments, any country with a backbone would have implemented what you said by now, not allowed him to do what he wants, do yourselves and the world a favour get the fucker out now. Your place on the world stage is diminishing and the longer he’s allowed to carry on like he is the weaker your country becomes which isn’t good for you or us.

dunlopp9987 Posted January 6, 2021 Report Share Posted January 6, 2021 Well it's looking very likely that both Warnock and Ossoff are going to win Georgia. Hasn't been called yet, but Warnock is all but guaranteed and Ossoff is close. I'm absolutely over the moon, but there is so much work to do. These next two weeks could be scary, with the current administration likely trying to ram through as much destruction as possible. They're already planning on a bill that further strips civil rights protections for minorities. Trying to be hopeful for the future, but worried about what might happen these next few weeks MikeO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornish Steve Posted January 6, 2021 Report Share Posted January 6, 2021 I'm delighted that, here in Georgia, we've potentially changed the course of world history. My four sons live in the state: They and their better halves had the chance to vote, and clearly it made a difference. Yes, I'm a little concerned about violence later today in Washington DC, urged on by the president, but these shenanigans should soon be over. And then, with a huge sigh of relief, we can all cry, "So long, Donald Trump. YOU ARE FIRED!"

They are bombarding the Capitol and residencies are being evacuated nearby.

Amerikkka strikes again. Watched the incendiary speech, frightening. Now dipping in to the live feed. Was good to see Paul Gosar demonstrating how to wear a mask....for anyone not watching this wasn't a slip, it was better on before he started speaking and he intentionally pulled it out of the way, and whenever it slipped close to being on properly he removed it again. Great example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
