President Donald Trump spent early Tuesday night making desperate phone calls and blasting Fox News before midterm election results came in.
“I have the ultimate power — it’s called ‘veto,’” President Trump told CBS News in a phone interview before polls first began to close in some states. Already, Trump appeared to make excuses for a potentially massive Republican loss.
Trump also called the Financial Times, assuring reporter Edward Lucas that the U.S. has no immediate plans to strike Iran, the Middle East country Trump started a war with in February.
Trump had a particular grudge against Fox News Tuesday night, texting commentator Greg Gutfeld about his disdain for liberal Fox News commentator Jessica Tarlov.
I don’t care about his feelings, I care about enforcing the laws of this country that I am forced to survive in.
Spoiler, a presidential veto isn’t the be-all-end-all. It can be overturned by a 2/3 majority in both houses. Not saying it wouldn’t be super difficult to pull off but it is still there.
There were already some republicans that didn’t like Trump. With these results there will more opportunistic parasites that will look to jump ship so maybe possible if democrats play the manipulation game right.
if democrats play the manipulation game right.
lol.
I really don’t care. He’s obsolete.
Doesn’t he know that Elon Musk and Ben Netanyahu conspired to ruin him?
Maybe some barbiturates and alcohol will help.
He could go pull a Hitler…
We should collectively find a euphemism for suicide and call it Trump. As in “He Trumped himself with a .45 in the mouth.”
I figured that was already a euphemism for shitting yourself.
Can you rebrand a euphemism? My uncle runs a PR firm. We’re gonna need some help.
Smells like ripe Trump.
Oh she got Trumped.
Just going around, Trumping.
You look Trumpy.
Trump economy.
Unfortunately, we don’t have/get to invent anything because it already literally exists.
I’m just happy he’s suffering.
Same, hopefully dying soon
No way. I want to watch him and his cronies squirm in court first. He can die after that.
I just want the government to seize back all the money he and his family and cronies stole.
I don’t care about making him suffer. There’s been enough suffering because of him. I just want him to die and be rid of him for good.
Same, also I don’t trust americans to not elect him again.
Theoretically, he can’t run fir a third term
Theoretically he can’t do basically any damn thing He’s done so far.
If he does, I hope Obama enters the primary.
While it would be hilarious to watch the conservatives tie themselves into knots trying to figure out a way to make it illegal for Obama to do that while also making it fine for Trump that would ultimately be a very bad thing.
First it would add legitimacy to Trumps run, not that a lack of that would stop him, but why hand him free ammunition.
Second it would massively energize the Republican base, because while some may be tired of Trump, they absolutely loath Obama and would vote in large numbers for Trump just to deny Obama any possible chance of winning.
Third, Obama burned a lot of bridges during his two terms and is very much a figure head of the old guard Democrats that are just now losing their grip on the DNC to the actual progressives in the party. Bringing Obama back would be a blow to the progressive wing of the party that we most desperately need in power. Further a lot of Democrat voters soured somewhat on Obama, particularly in his second term, I’m not convinced having him on a ballot would bring more Democrats to the polls than the Republicans it almost certainly would.
You’re a better person than I. I have 50% more gray hair today than I did 2 years ago and it’s his fucking fault. I have weekly meltdowns. I can’t function at all with this stress. I want that fucker to suffer for what he’s done to me and countless others he’s done worse to.
The only way vance ever sees a day as president is if trump doesn’t finish his term.
I’d rather see him live to face consequences, honestly. We need to make an example out of him so that nobody tries this shit again, at least for the next century or so…
He seems like a danger to everyone every second he’s alive.
I don’t care if he dies, I just want his family to repay all the money its stolen from the American people.
or suffer a paralyzing stroke
The cronies definitely, but remember, he strives for attention, whether it comes from good or bad publicity. His case should be dealt with swiftly, and without his direct involvement if at all possible.
We’ve lost way too many good people to sudden passings… why the fuck is this miserable pile of shit still ticking?
He’s so slimy he keeps slipping through The Claw.
Any additional stress on him can only hasten the ultimate solution to his madness.
And let him and his friends get off that easy? No way, try them all, convict them, send them to prison or the gallows, and claw back as much of the money they’ve gained at the expensive of the country as possible.
Even if he died he should still be tried posthumously, if only to give his victims closure, claw back some of the money he’s stolen for those victims, and to insure his legacy as the most criminal president of the US is properly recorded. It will also be important for the cases against his collaborators.
You can’t try someone criminally posthumously, and the civil trial would not carry the same weight.
Let alone the media surrounding him would quickly disappear and his cronies could quietly fade from the lime light with all the money they stole.
If Pope Formosus could be tried nine months after his death, I don’t see any reason why we couldn’t do it again. Seeing as how Trump was “God-sent” it should be well within the powers of the Roman Catholic Church to do so again.
But the Roman Catholic Church protects child rapists.
I’d prefer a prolonged suffering for him, both physically and financially, but for the betterment of the people domestic and abroad, I’ll gladly take a quick ending and a posthumous charging of his and his families crimes.
It’s not the justice he deserves, but it would be best for everyone in the short term.
Not nearly enough for the suffering he’s unleashed on the entire human race
There isnt enough time in a entire lifetime to do that, much less the couple years he had left.
We need someone who causes an equally insane amount of good to come along.
Ja. Ja. Ja.
He has served well as the millstone around the Republican neck. Time for him to get a stroke over the vote results and croak.
I just love when Trump rants like that, it means he’s suffering ❤️
Let’s go thrombo!
-clap- -clap- … -clap- -clap- -clap-
Just demented grampa things
Good, get him the fuck out of here and raise taxes on the wealthy immediately.
To 1939 levels, but on wealth, not just income.
Boy I sure hope that he doesn’t suffer any ill effects from his distress, gee whiz
I hope he dies and it hurts the whole time.
Apoplectic fit? Fatal blow-out of the kankles? Dehydrative diarrhea and resultant total organ failure?
Golly sir, don’t get too upset. Your heart might explode! That would be t-t-t-TERRIBLE!!!
Maybe we should send him flowers
Preferably hemlock, or wolfsbane.
- Thank you for the attention to this matter
a clearly frantic Trump blamed a potential Republican loss on everyone but himself.
Of course he did. 🤡
Mr. ‘pretend I’m on the ballot’. And we did, and he lost.
Yes and now Trump claims it because he wasn’t, when it’s very clearly Trump and his administration that people are voting against.
Let’s hope this will make some of the checks and balances work. Obviously supreme court is 100% compromised and defunct, so Trump still has that. But here’s to hoping the democrats will actually do something. My hopes are not high, but at least there’s a chance now.Perhaps, but Thomas and Alito are in their 70s…
Still having an absolute corrupt supreme court for more than 8 years shows a systemic problem. If they “leave” Within the next 2 years, it is still Trump appointing the candidates to replace them.
That’s at least 10 years with a supreme court where party politics are more important than the law of the land.
*Ketchup all over the walls…
Definition of a good day: Any day Trump is suffering
The day his suffering ends will also be pretty good.
A great day would be him + his cabnet suffering. An orgasmic day would be him + his cabnet + his voters suffering.
Trump also called the Financial Times, assuring reporter Edward Lucas that the U.S. has no immediate plans to strike Iran, the Middle East country Trump started a war with in February.
Wait, didn’t he bomb them yesterday?
Two more years of this crap….
Maybe not.
The GOP civil war has started, its just a matter of who will fire the first bullet and when?
We’ve heard for years GOP congressmen HATE Trump. Now they see America HATES Trump too. Who (if any) will scramble to cross party lines to impeach and remove to save their own careers?
I mean, we shouldn’t let them save their own careers, but we should let them act like there’s a chance to appease us before we vote them out and (god willing) prosecute them.
Americans on the whole hate Trump, but there’s still that core of 30-ish% who love him uncritically. They’re all Republicans, which makes them around 60% of the GOP and more than enough to determine primary outcomes. It’s hard to get nominated as a Republican without Trump, and now we see that it’s hard to win with Trump.
I suspect that most of those cult members will just stop voting once their idol fades away. Maybe that will let the Republicans recover in 2030, but you just know Trump’s going to be out for his base in 2028.
Just to add to your point about his cult. Reminder a lot of them were politically unengaged up until 2016, without Trump there’s a solid chance they become inactive again.
Mind you there’s always a risk they latch onto one of his kids but they will still most likely bleed 10 percent or so of their numbers in the process.
I hope all his kids run, and split the trump vote.
Personally I’d much rather they comic ritual mass suicide upon his death, either that or they all fuck off to their masters in the middle east.
I suspect that most of those cult members will just stop voting once their idol fades away.
God willing
you just know Trump’s going to be out for his base in 2028.
Let’s hope we get a Big Beautiful Day before that can happen.
The founding fathers probably never expected things to go this sideways, but one of the features of seperation of powers was supposed to be that politicians would save their own skin and stop other branches from doing the wrong thing.
The problem is having captured all the branches, there was no sinking ship for the rats to flee. That has now changed, Trump has become a sinking ship
Let’s hope you’re right 🤞🤞
I don’t think they will, he’s threatening them
Doesn’t matter who hates him, he’s the face of the Republican party. If he goes down, they go down with him.
Not if they flip on his ass. I think Bibi has shit on them as well as trump though, it really depends on what Israel’s next moves are. Not to mention those beholden to other masters like Putin.
He probably means nuclear based because Tucker keeps rattling that particular sabre.
Also there are plans, they are just not "immediate, what ever that means.
What do you call Tucker Carlson and JD Vance on a sofa with a loaf of Russian bread…
Tuesday?
A loaf of sourdough!
