Comment on How likely is it that Trump will be the first President assassinated since Kennedy?
_stranger_@lemmy.world 1 week agoThe Republicans puppet him into walking back the most insane shit while they continue destroying every institution they care to. Nothing gets better. We get slightly worse predictions about what the fascists in charge are going to do next, but it’ll still be terrible.

they haven’t done anything significant in a month, there’s been tariffs sure, but that was delayed a month already. Lame duck president if i’ve ever seen anything.

That’s not what lame duck means. And sending people to prison in Guantanamo Bay, El Salvador, and Panama is pretty significant. They can’t even find one of the legal guys who has been ordered to be returned to the US. US (possibly world) heading for economic recession if not depression. Inflation and lack of work like you’ve never seen unless you’re 100 years old. We’ve got an anti vaccine fuckwit in charge of healthcare. An unelected oligarch has dismantled large portions of the federal government. They’ve got their eyes on social security, Medicare, and Medicaid. It’s certainly not nothing.

yeah that’s technically true, but they’ve done basically everything they already can, nothing happening today is “new” it’s old news. That’s what i mean when i say “lame duck”
And technically, from the perspective of nearly no consequences, this is literally a lame duck president all the way through, but that’s not really a fully accurate telling.
you don’t need to tell me what this administration is bad at, trust me, i know.
