Satans Mark/Cashless Title: Republicans Now Have All the Power NO EXCUSES ANYMORE. A Republican won the White House. Republicans control the House of Representatives. Republicans control the Senate. Republicans will be 5-4 on the Supreme Court soon. Republicans control 34 governorships. Republicans control 68 of 99 state legislatures, and control both houses in 33 states. All that's left to Democrats is a majority of lower-level federal judges - a situation that will rapidly reverse (Presidents generally name about 1/3 of the federal judiciary during their terms), and with control of the Supreme Court, what comes up from the lower courts is just noise that can always be reversed. The only other thing Democrats have is the filibuster. But in 2013 Harry Reid went nuclear (to try to pack the courts). While I've heard people argue that Reid's "going nuclear" was limited to judges, so what? The point is that he made a rule change, and ratified that rule change by a simple majority. Sure HE limited it judges, but the Republicans don't have to limit it at all. THEY can do a rule change that turns the Senate into a majority vote body, with no filibuster, and pass everything. Historically, they majority party always resisted doing that because, What if the other side wins? But the Democrats were undeterred - they DID IT to pack the courts. And the Democrat situation looks bleak in 2018 in the Senate. IF the Republicans STAND AND DELIVER, and IF their policies REALLY ARE THE RIGHT ONES, if they "go nuclear" and implement their ENTIRE platform NOW, with plenary power, then - IF THEY'RE RIGHT ABOUT THEIR PHILOSOPHY - things will get better in a hurry and they'll win 2018 in a landslide. So, there are no excuses now. The Republicans have absolute power. It is broad. The Democrats have no ability to stop, or even slow down, anything, at all, anywhere, unless the Republicans grant them that power. If they do that, they will stop the Republicans, gridlock will continue, and eventually economic calamity will come. You Republican got LUCKY with Trump. Most of you detested him at the beginning of the season and did not agree with his policies. BUT HE WON. He won, and dragged you into a position of power that no President has has since LBJ and FDR. YOU NOW HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SWIFTLY ENACT THE ENTIRE GOP AGENDA. Nothing can stop you, or slow you down. You can have the entire thing in place within 100 days, and if it's as good as you say it is, things will get better. Our most dangerous foreign adversary, Russia, is happy with Trump's election. We're going to have foreign peace on our most important front. There is literally NO EXCUSE NOW. NO PLACE TO HIDE. If Republicans do not get it done now - if instead of following the lead of the President the people elected and ruling with the power they have been granted, Republicans divide into a civil war, then you will have demonstrated that you're as useless as people like me always though you were. Trump won. He saved your bacon in the Senate. He shored up the House. He's the leader. Follow him, and you'll have power for the next 80 years. Fight stupidly and resist the will of the people - reject Trump on your own side and try to pretend there's some sort of mandate for Ryan or Mitch McConnell, and you will have the Democrats back in a whirlwind in 2 years, and then in four years you'll have a Democrat President who will grant amnesty and citizenship, and you'll never win another election. This is your ONE shining moment of absolute power. You have a leader. Shut up and get in line behind him. Pass your whole agenda. And if you were right all along, the country will do so well you'll get more and more of the black vote even, and you'll keep the blue collar, and you'll be the new majority party for generations. Or fail, refuse to follow the man the People want, fight among yourselves, prove you're worthless at governance, and have the Democrats take it all back in 4 years, for good. Your call Republicans. Now you have absolute power. And you will be held absolutely accountable. There is no place to hide, and there are no excuses anymore. Nothing can stop you but you. So, ARE YOU CAPABLE OF RULING? Or are you jackasses? Up to you. Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread Top • Page Up • Full Thread • Page Down • Bottom/Latest Begin Trace Mode for Comment # 18.

They don't have power until, if and when, the electoral college recognizes the results of the election on December 19th.
Ok. To be technically correct n January 20, 2017 they will have almost all the power. And once they seat the 5th Supreme, they will have all the power. Better?
Wrong. Faggot kennedy is still there.
