The people in charge are, to put it in terms trump would understand, completely retarded. What I don't understand is where the checks and balances they swore kept the government running are. I haven't seen a single check or balance that has any effect yet, where the fuck are they? Was it always a lie?
Republicans have a trifecta, and a 6-3 scotus majority.
And now is when we find out that the checks and balances were always more of an honor-system than your government teacher would have you believe.
Once the checks clear, their balances reflect it.
Oh, you meant different checks and different balances. Never mind.
Honestly, I'd completely phased this word out of my vocabulary, but describing MAGA admins are the one time I will use it. It's the only thing that accurately describes them. Elon wanted to bring it back so badly, why not use it to tell him what friendless retard he actually is.
They were gonna send every dumbass a 1776 check... so... but yeah they didn't do that either
