Oh, look, it's the president and some random guy with a fake tan.
Seriously though, he doesn't look well. I was suspecting Vance will try to replace him, but that might even happen before inauguration.
Isn't it obvious? It's gonna be Gaetz. He has nothing better to do, after all.
Girls volleyball get cancelled?
The best possible outcome would be that he dies like a year in, Vance becomes president. Trump's policies become deeply unpopular, and even more so once he is dead and they are now Vance's policies. Republicans lose congress in the midterms, then Vance does something so unpopular that the nation screams for impeachment.
AFAIK If Trump is voted in, and Vance takes over day 1, Vance can have 3 presidential periods, because he can still be elected twice.
That is not correct. If you serve more than two years, it counts as a term for the purposes of the 22nd Amendment.
Ah OK I wasn't aware there is that rule. I just know there have been presidents serving more than 2 periods. Because they took over from another president.
Inb4 Democrats are indistinguishable from Republicans.

has the minimum wage gone up?
did workers get more rights?
when did we get that universal healthcare?
neither the Democrats nor the Republicans support workers
The min wage last went up under Dems. Yes, worker rights have expanded under Dems. Yes, Dems kneecapped themselves by taking a public option out of the ACA but at least they got super close, unlike the GOP, whose best claim to policy change on healthcare was that dramatic moment when McCain stopped them from repealing the ACA.
One party wants granny to die from pre-existing conditions, the other isn’t quite left enough for you.
Quit defending your fucking warden, wage slave. You're even speaking for them.
The Dems were the stop-gap measure, not our personal opinions. They're corporate Democrats. They protect their own, not us. They'll take us with them if it's an option, they occasionally do, but we ain't the main focus, homie. Never have been. Apple, Meta, Tesla, they're the real clients to the Democratic party.
Fuck em both. Don't give me your half-assed freedom fighters in suits lol.
AOC is just Disney liberal.
Edit: DEFEND YOUR OWNERS, LEMMY
Biden just pardoned his son and you can't afford dental. Mad? Why? You voted for it.
Is this you seething because Dems are trying to end subminimum wage or something?
15 years ago.
As long as you don't consider the right to strike to be a right.
They kneecap themselves a lot.
Why do Democrats keep expecting us to be happy with "we pretended to try"? And again, this was 15 years ago. You can't coast on half-accomplishments forever.
And the assumption that all criticism of Democrats must be support for the GOP rears its head.
One party killed the public option for you. One party made sure the minimum wage stayed low for you. You're happy with what we didn't get.
You are the Karen of leftists. Never satisfied, always standing in your own way.
You just want to do as little as possible and expect everyone to your left (and only your left) to be satisfied with it forever.
ACA was 15 years ago, and was a half measure even then. The minimum wage last went up 15 years ago.
And standing in your own way is what centrists do. It's why the half measure you're still trying to coast on doesn't have a public option.
What are you doing other than bitching about the opposition party on Lemmy? Genuinely curious.
I think it's this:

What are you doing apart from demanding that people be satisfied with less just because you want them to have less?
Omg. You act like Democrats have had the ability to get shit passed. Many of these things you want require Congress, and we've been locked down by Conservatives and DINO's (See Manchin and Sinema). We've never had a super majority that would allow this stuff to get passed. We have plenty of Democrats in power that are advocating for these things and we have plenty of support for the people for things like this. Things were moving in a positive direction, and sure, they could have moved faster, but at least things were becoming more progressive over time. But no no, let's completely ignore every accomplishment that Democrats have done for the last 20 years and instead hyperfixate on all the things they still haven't done.
Like, what's your point? What are you trying to achieve? Make Democrats look bad? For what purpose? Are you one of those Lemmy.ml guys?
Only a simple majority is required to permanently do away with the oh-so-convenient 60 vote requirement of the filibuster. We gave such a majority to Democrats twice. They preferred to keep their precious relic of the Jim Crow era.
None of those accomplishments were the result of the sort of blithe contentment you demand.
No, they do that all by themselves. It's why they lose.
Yet crickets from the parlor pinks who pushed the maga party.
I'm still trying to work out which end of the turtle Trump's head has poked out from.
it'd be more informative to know which one's weren't, gotta assume they all are gonna go like some fascist used car sale
But mah egg pricez!
