How the fuck is this a valid executive order when it's clearly purse string shit. This is something congress would have to do.

The funny thing is, if just won't work. Ok, he says to do it. Some lackey goes off to do it. But someone has to sign the check. The money has to come from somewhere. That's when the shit hits the fan.

Unless Congress does whatever he says like little lap dogs. Ok, yeah, I convinced myself now that it'll happen.

That's why elons team took over the treasury payments system.

Congress would have to first stop him. He does so many blatantly illegal things though and nobody ever actually cares, though, so that's unlikely.

Two inches from the best timeline. We got fucked.

What two inches? What was the best timeline that we missed out on so narrowly? 2000? Because Reagan won by a lot, if I’m remembering correctly.

I mean any timeline without this 2nd Trump term would be a heck of a lot nicer.

Sometimes shit to get really bad before it gets worse...

Example: the great depression.

But it doesn't seem like Trump pleb supporters are coming around.. Yet. Let's see how much abuse they can take from daddy.

Well they haven't seen much abuse yet. They just dodged a nice bump in inflation for a month.
