    Clowns doing clown things and Americans suffering for it.

    But hey, the majority of voting Americans voted for it, so FAFO.

      Not quite. No presidential candidate got a majority of the popular vote. Trump got more of the popular vote than Kamala did. 49.80% and 48.33% respectively.

      Yes, I’m being pedantic. Does it really matter? No, probably not.

        The correct phrasing would be that he received a plurality of votes.

          Well yeah but basically every candidate gets more than one vote so getting a plurality doesn’t mean much

            I suspect this was sarcasm but… A “plurality of votes” means “more than the other candidates”.

            Sorry if I explained a joke.

        This comment make so little sense, I can only assume you’re mentally handicapped.

        First of all, no party has maintained power for decades. Secondly, how would decades of liberal ideology be responsible for Republican’s traitorous actions?

          Trust me, I don’t get it either. If you look at the numbers, more people didn’t vote than voted. Less than half of people that’re eligible to vote did so. From my conversations with people (coworkers, mainly) it’s simply because none of them cared to follow the news and didn’t know which candidates stood for what.

    Well, that’s not exactly what happened. The courts already started blocking it, and rather than admit failure, the budget office wanted to pretend that they were being proactive. Nice try, my dudes.

    Pulled so the court case goes away. They don’t want official rulings on the limits of presidential power. Not a reason to celebrate.

    The White House confirmed that OMB pulled the memo Wednesday in a two sentence notice sent to agencies and departments, but said that Trump’s underlying executive orders targeting federal spending in areas like diversity, equity and inclusion and climate change, remained in place.

      They should still try to pursue the lawsuits on the basis of damage already caused, if for no other reason than clarity around presidential v congressional power.

      I understand and agree with the general concept of a case being moot when the underlying situation has already been resolved, but sometimes I really wish there was a way for proceedings like this to continue so we actually get rulings.

        Sigh. Yeah.

        I wanted to be silly and make a joke about justice blue balls. I even had typed up “Justice deferred is justice boner denied.” - which is a pretty good line, but fuck this is soul crushing. Too soul crushing for boner jokes, even.

    This will be the basis of US government for the next four years … just never ending rage, confusion, fear, and chaos.

      Have you ever seen republican responses to this stuff?

      “Trumps done more than Biden has in 40 years”

      “Trump has to raise prices before he can lower them!”

      “Trump is for the people, he will make everything great”

      " Eh…i dont really get into politics"
