Don't think for one second that it will come back to haunt them.

The main reason Republicants don't want Donny playing with the 13th and 14th amendments by Executive Order, is because they know that when a Democratic president gets in, the first thing he's going to do is wallpaper the Second Amendment with executive orders. Eventually, it will be illegal to own a potato gun.

Republicants may be dumb, but they're not stupid.

It's been said, that once you open a can of worms, you always need a larger can to get them all back in.
But Dems wouldn't be able to get away with that with the courts being held by Republicans. If Trump did something like that, a guy could argue in front of the court that what's good for the goose is good for the gander, but the slanted conservative court could just as easily apply "Rule of law for thee, but not for me" logic to it.

They had similar problems with corrupt politicians and rigged courts in Ukraine, and solution they worked out is simply throw politicians into dumpsters.
Not really a perfect solution, and I hope it doesn't come to this in the US, but Republicans are hard at work to make it happen.

That's pretty funny. Not only are they bad legislators for attempting to grab power because they lost an election, they are bad AT BEING legislators.

Malevolence tempered by incompetence seems to be the adjective to describe the GOP as a whole these days, not just Trump.

If by malevolence you mean the ability to justify anything out of a gut sense you are absolutely right.

Congrats Wisconsin!

Now have every republican involved brought up on charges for violating their oaths of office. There should be hell to pay for this caliber of absolute bullshit. You sell out your country and community like that, at the very least you should be barred from ever holding office again.

Keep dreaming. I would be shocked if there was consequences. The GoP probably figures if they get away with it, great. And if not, it just gets reversed. That's what you call everything to gain and nothing to lose.

I prefer 'wishful thinking.'

We live in shocking times. Judging by the fury of Wisconsinites, I seriously doubt this is just going to be swept under the rug and forgotten about. And Democrats will be there, ready to throw salt in that gaping red wound.

Does the name Nicolae Ceaușescu ring anyone's bell?

Not the best solution but then...

View attachment 1597

Actually I thought of that after the Jan Michael Vincent thread. Had me thinking about Air Wolf. A Bell 222 was what the Ceaușescus were riding in when they were apprehended. Pilot faked a mechanical issue to dump them on some road, no way he wanted to be seen as some kind of henchman. Later!

Don't worry Melania, everyone knows you're just a trophy wife.

Yes fuck the conservatards in Wisconsin. We voted on abortion and the gerrymandering and general shitiness of the conservatives. I got Derrick Van Orden on my Facebook page who somehow got elected despite being at January 6th social events. I told him to fuck off and my reply was deleted.
