Democrats could have blocked this.
This fact is worth aknowledging as we see more and more of these horrible laws pass.
They certainly are complicit and not putting up nearly enough resistance. Republicans are still the cause, and democrats are refusing to do anything effectual to stop it. I'd love to eject them all, but my point is that this isn't "uncle sam", it's republicans. And it wouldn't have happened if the Republicans hadn't started it.
Everyone with eyes can see the Republicans are completely corrupt and primarily responsible.
Standing by and watching fascism happen while you occupy the influential positions of power that can do something about it is just as bad, because that is only helping the Republicans by blocking resistance.
Democrats need to stand the fuck up or quit so someone with fucking balls can take their job
Yeah, I 100% agree.
Maybe the time is right for a 3rd party to rise?
This is not a law.
Changing agreed upon congressional spending requires a law.
By not forcing an arrest or even fighting the executive order congress is legitimizing and approving the order.
This is/was letting a contract expire. It's not something that was brought up to the level of congress. Up until the last few years of supreme court decisions agencies were founded with broad powers in their domains, including discontinuing sub-programs.
That's how it' supposed to work. None of this has been brought to a vote, which would give Democrats the opportunity to oppose it. For "some reason" congressional Republicans are continuing their prior strategy while being a majority and having the leadership of just, not doing things.
How could Democrats have blocked this? Art thou speaking out thine ass?
Congress controls congressional spending.
The Democrats should say this is tyrannical and tell the truth to the people that we are at war and we need to remove the Russian assets from power.
I know you will keep making excuses for them to keep their power while doing nothing to help tho.
They're fighting harder for non-citizens than citizens at this point it seems. Not entirely sure why.
