President Donald Trump threatened to veto every piece of legislation put forward during the second half of his administration if Democrats flip control of the House or Senate during next month’s midterm elections.
“Well, I think the Republicans are going to win. But if there was, you call it gridlock, what happens is I veto everything,” Trump told reporters Friday morning while speaking on the South Lawn. “And then the Democrats come and they want to make a deal. So we’ll work it out.”
Historical precedent and polling data suggest Democrats are on the cusp of flipping at least the House next month and possibly the Senate, due to public frustration over the Iran war and high costs of living.
So, they will override his veto
Who cares? At best you’ll get nothing done. That is better than getting bad things done IMO.
Just a reminder…the reds outright said during Biden’s term that they would outright block any meaningful legislation for the sole reason to make him look bad. They give absolute ZERO FUCKS about actually making America great again but only about enriching themselves.
Americans should practice their aim more. That orange toad shouldn’t be up and about already 3 times
vetoing everything would be a vast vast improvement.
“And then the [other party] comes and they want to make a deal. So we’ll work it out.”
Uh, yeah. That’s how it usually works.
Why do I get the impression that his idea of “making a deal” involves paying him personally?
Well if you kick a dog 99 times when you walk in the door it’s probably expecting to get kicked the next time
Because it usually does?
I think if Trump vetoes everything, voters might actually not blame Democrats for getting nothing done, so that might actually carry over the anger for two years and help a real blue wave happen. So that might be nice, IF we can minimize establishment Dems fucking shit up and get more progressives in there.
Hmmm, while they do their job investigating Trump, I’m wondering why don’t Democrats just give him gaudy looking prizes and call him the best president ever, make AI Trump Jesus healing leper style paintings and a little money on the side to pass Medicare for All and other priorities? He is attracted to flattery, vanity projects and faux gold trinkets, he has no inner morals, so his signature on a bill might not be as hard to get as some might think…
The Europeans figured this out already, this is the smart way to deal with trump. He has to think it was all his idea, trump care 2027! Yes greatest ever genious president finally solved healthcare even Obama couldn’t!
So have Americans. Tim Cook is the chairman of apple now.
Trump likes big butts and he cannot lie
How many are needed to officially boot the diarrhea colored convicted criminal?
Way more than they will ever get, unfortunately
Assuming all seats are filled and are present, 218 in the House to impeach, 67 in the Senate to convict and remove.
And that would just install J.D. Vance for a '28 run.
the couch-lover has to go first, immediately followed by the spray-tanned dipshit.
and the safeguard previously-installed to prevent that particular chain-of-events, is mike johnson.
in the next session, it’ll probably be… ::gags:: jeffries. or so much in-fighting for the post that it’ll make the current magat house leadership look sane and they never get to actually voting on any impeachment charges.
hell, if they have that many votes, they could immediately impeach and remove Vance too, and then whoever House Dems pick to be Speaker becomes president. obviously not gonna happen, but technically possible
Yeah, last i checked on 270 to win, Dems would need to win some VERY improbable Senate races to pull off the 67 needed to convict and remove both. Possible, just improbable.
If they don’t reach the 67 needed, they need to save any impeachment hearings because people are voting based on economy and having impeachment hearings will come off as out of touch, like the last time.
Instead they should focus on investigating and releasing the Epstein files, as there seems to be bipartisan support for that, and once fully released, test public sentiment on impeachment. That may be the only way to get enough votes, but the end result would be a Vance presidency, unless they can somehow tie him to it as well, which is unlikely.
We should be so lucky
