    No. It’s in our Constitution. It can’t be whisked away unless it is approved through Congress.

      Yeah… their team won. The idea that Trump voters will be ousted first is more fantastical than an actual day dream.

      That’s like rebuilding a forest with a match.

      You

      1. set it alight
      2. watch it burn. Mourn the loss of an evolved ecosystem.
      3. recognize a dead zone
      4. dodge mudslides as things depending on solid ground also fail (ohai america)
      5. wait a generation (1-3 year for forests)
      6. see what grows – note in the changing climate, it’s not gonna be like before

      I don’t recommend it if things have to live there during the process.

    Told my republican dad that Trump is gonna cut the USPS. He was basically like “no way jose, there’s no way he will do that”

      It feels like the only silver lining to all of this bullshit is the amount of I Told You So’s that are piling up on the table.

        I feel like plebs who like the idea of privatizing the USPS (for the sake of “saving money” and therefore not having to pay for a service they “don’t need”) are the same folk who by definition of supporting the orange turd also like the idea of raising taxes for themselves and the majority of the US population to then give to the rich (but of course if they’re in the tax bracket where they make so much to get the tax break then fuck them).

        It’s fine if they want to flaunt their brand of crazy but at least make it make sense.
