...he will be gone or stopped in his tracks in November. Nearly everyone uses the November date, and the problem is that if he's a lame duck that interval will be a political eternity and as much of a nightmare as we are experiencing now.
Sorry, I just had to get that off my chest. Thank you for listening.

(903 posts)Republicans have been dry-running the lame-duck agenda in North Carolina, Wisconsin, and other states that change over to Democrats. Don't think they won't try it at the federal level too.

Wisconsin etc. had fully Republican legislatures and their lame duck governors to sign the toxic laws to limit the incoming D Governors. Trumpie won't have that option. He can still fuck a lot of things up in those few months though.

(25,183 posts)safety measures today will gladly take up arms to follow Trump when he tries to break this nation up after he has to leave office. Divide and conquer is all that Trump knows how to do, I fully expect him to try it upon leaving the White House.
