I’m not sure Congress will be blocking anything Trump wants to do.
I think there are enough level headed republicans that would not back something as mind-blowingly stupid as withdrawing from NATO.
I hope.
Fuck.
“Threaten our allies” implied NATO and I was replying about NATO allies.
Trump was and will be a threat to the Kurds but I don’t think he thought that had anything to offer that made them worth trying to specifically threaten.
Allegedly a lady was curious about Nick Fuentes, well-known dipshit, and decided to go knock on his door. He pepper-sprayed her and kicked her down the stairs. I’m sorry she’s hurt, but I’m glad he’s scared.
I’ve only read about it on social media so may be fake news.
So, Rudy could turn out to be our first homeless Attorney General. That would be interesting.
He’s no longer allowed to practice law. I don’t think that’s technically a requirement for AG, but it would be unusual.
Don’t worry Rudy, you can always get SNAP

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Those have been discontinued. No longer available.
But Donald Trump doesn’t need to do anything to essentially pull out of NATO. He just has to not do stuff, like sending our troops to aid an ally, and he is quite good at not doing something.
The only way for Congress to intervene, therefore, would require it to do something, viz. impeach and remove the chief executive (and probably the veep as well) during a time of war to pass the presidency down to the Speaker of the House, assuming that person would want to go to the aid of NATO.
Translation: military alliances with the U.S. are only as good as the president who commands the military that enforces them.
Bless your heart.
The post I replied to literally mentioned “any allies”. But feel free to move the goalposts to just before “grocery bag”.
I’m hoping that Republican A who has a grudge with Republican B for saying something mean about them will vote differently out of spite. Repeat ad nauseam. That’s why they struggle to elect Speakers.
Sometimes not being level-headed also works.
I’m envisioning some parts of the Orange Peril’s agenda* being stalled due to opposition from Empty Greene and the unFreedom Caucus — because they don’t go far enough.
(Maybe I shouldn’t, since my 77 year old heart might not be able to stand up to the laughing fit.)
* Such as it is, other than making him rich and getting revenge on those who don’t show him proper respect
The magas are going to picket Marsha Blackburn’s office because they’re upset that the Senate leadership election is a secret ballot and thus they won’t be able to send death threats to those who don’t vote the way they want them to.
Republican voters with power are like a mule with a spinning wheel.
A protest? Great, another march on the capitol, over-running the barricades, seizing the airports, rockets red glare, gallows, … “It’s late Steve, go to bed.”
Not Steve. It’s Jeff. As in Jeff Redfern.
To save anyone else from googling, it’s a The Simpsons reference. ‘No one knows how he got it, and danged if he knows how to use it!’
Thanks, Johnny. I knew it sounded familiar, but just couldn’t place it. The Monorail episode, right? Anyway, much appreciated!
Heh heh. Mule.
