I don’t think they let the VP travel in the same plane at the same time so probably not as earth saving as you’d expect. Definitely very funny though.

Getting in early means they get to raise them again when the tariffs really settle in. Tariffs have replaced inflation as the scapegoat.

She does politics. Go out there and demand his fucking resignation, declare of state of emergency and use those powers to remove him; make them stop you. Call for protests, call for strikes. Use your office and the reach that it grants you. The reason they have so much more power is because they understand that politics is now almost entirely theater and they are playing to the crowd while the democrats try to appeal to some imagined referee.

If the governor is completely powerless in the face of Trump then there's no reason to even look into this because the law doesn't matter. If the only reason you wont do it is because you're concerned about retaliation from Trump then that will happen regardless of legal justification. So either you accept the consequences of action and take it, or let Trump continue to plow ahead full steam. There is no world in which the person looking for a legal basis to avoid Trump's wrath will ever take action on anything that might provoke him, so this entire exercise is already political theater.

Where im going is that it doesn't matter whether they have a legal basis to dismiss Adams or not. Trump will claim what they're doing is illegal either way and act accordingly. Who is going to stop him?

If it's all fucking theater anyway then make it a scene. Get arrested. Making them devote even a small amount of resources and attention on you is infinitely more valuable than just letting them get away with it again or resigning in worthless protest. Being a political prisoner for defying fascism is a hell of a lot more admirable than sending the national guard into the subway to harass commuters over some imagined crisis.

At some point, public officials have a responsibility to put their duty to public before their own safety and comfort. I get that its hard to oppose Trump, which is why the people most empowered to do so should be doing every single thing they can to stand in his way.

Do you honestly think having some legal justification would change anything about how Trump would respond?

meanwhile the republicans merely act and let the democrats whine about the illegality of their actions while continuing to plow ahead without any consequences.

Every single one of you sound like you’ve bought into a cult. I don’t need to spit out some kid to feel purposeful and content, just appreciate that I’m visiting to give you a break from parenting and let it go.

Or I can go visit my sister and play with my niblings but not have to deal with any of the downsides of having children.

My computer can’t run it very well but there’s a pretty decent VR mod out there.
