I don't see a risk of Trump acting serious.

So that's a "no" then.
That doesn't seem like the kind of cooperation you would want to have with a minor raper.
Get him and Mamdani to tag team him. Like politically not the other way you perverts 😂 Unless that also works. He’s been an an ass kick recently.
I do find it funny that the actual Muslim politicians could actually handle him better than anyone else. That would truly be irony.
Get him and Mamdani to tag team him
When Ao3 comes back online, we could make that happen...
Please no. :(
no, both those ways.
like this sickos
If he behaves
Nothing says "serious" more than appointing cunt Miller as chief of staff and trying to appoint UFC cunt as a press secretary.
I understand the "optics" but they should really just ignore orange cunt.
He was supposed to appoint the heritage foundation ghoul but didn't realize two people could be named Dana White because he's a dementia addled fucking idiot.
Unfortunately, we cannot ignore the president, as much as I'd love to. The man has so much power because of his office that ignoring him is unfeasible; he must be directly opposed.
Abdul El-Sayed is not saying that he would compromise with fascists; he is saying that he will directly oppose the current MAGA plan. He is also calling the president a fucking moron in a politically correct manner.
A dementia patient is very unpredictable. Throw enough bills at him and he may inadvertently sign one. Doesn’t hurt to try. I doubt they actually expect anything out of it. If anything, it just shows how they are the adults in the room.
State of the Union next year could be glorious!
I honestly wonder if Trump will even make it to his next SotU, depending on how far the new Congress gets with stomping on all his priorities, as well as putting him and his family under empowered committee microscopes with no majority to block, prevent, or soften any of it.
The thing about narcissists is that very little damages them personally, but whatever does tends to be really crippling, and the blowback from a pissed off nation is just getting started.
Sir, you are out of order, the people get no say...
Trump is absolutely controllable. That’s how we got into all of this. He’s just a puppet who loves the attention. He also loves a strongman who doesn’t take his shit ie Mamdani. This is how you play him.
I understood trump has a fetish for a hairy men. Frankly I don't blame him, I do too.
A fellow person of culture I see!
what? i'm not sharing fetishes with krasnov.
i thought he had a fetish for bob hope's dangle and jon husted's pucker
It was Arnold Palmers cock he was obsessed with.
I too might work with the president if he was a fundamentally different person than he is. Fair enough I guess?
Well that sounds like actual leadership in dealing with unserious MAGA.
Please stop trying to work with people who want to kill you.
Since we all know Trump is never, ever, ever going to act serious, not even for a moment, I feel like Abdul el-Sayed saying "Democrats will work with Trump if 'he wants to act serious'" is pretty much the same as Abdul el-Sayed saying "Democrats will not work with Trump."
Politics makes for strange bedfellows at times. And honestly IF all those newly elected liberals want to actually accomplish anything, they do need to manipulate Trump into to signing laws. Otherwise he just vetos everything.
The Democrats do not control enough votes to consistently override and ignore a veto.
The democrat senate leader said several times in several different ways that his first and most important mission is to help Israel.
The democrats are controlled opposition and they are going to have a reckoning now that real life Americans are getting into power.
Keep giving these corporate Israeli dogs excuses at your own peril.
Any American Politician who puts Israel before America should be arrested for treason
while i agree in principal, choosing who you work with is a luxury
The Republicans never work with Democrats, they actively work against them, time to return the favor
Lol
I am totally fine with them saying "We'll fund your stupid ballroom if you let us eliminate the cap on social security" or something similar.
I'd also be totally fine with a future president going back on that and knocking down the stupid ballroom. Or turning the Donald J. Trump Ballroom into the Bernie Sanders Cubicle Farm. I don't think even MAGA would care all that much if they did that.
Naaah. We get everything, they get nothing. No quarter. That’s how it has to work. We got where we are by negotiating with these terrorists.
It’s scorched and salted earth time.
And in other fantasies: Damn I sure wish unicorns were real
When it becomes reality, shit changes. Let me know when you’re ready.
This is the way. Stroke Trump's ego as a reward if he does things we want. Who cares if we call universal healthcare Trumpcare for a couple of years.
I don't think that'll even happen, but it'd be kinda hilarious if it did.
We can probably get a couple more things in too. Call it the, 'Trump is the best, and Republicans have always been right on every issue Act'.
Stroke a frucks ego to get real social change, has anyone read about Lyndon B. Johnsons' civil rights act?
This Guy is getting a White House showcase for Trumpcare any minute now.
“act serious”
I gotta pick this nit. It should be “act seriously”.
Abdul knows that, he's speaking to the everyman
'Act serious' is grammatically correct as a dependant clause in a full sentence. "Seriously" would change the meaning slightly and also be grammatically correct.
acting serious
