Republicans pretzel logic on full display "Declaring the rest of the year as a single calendar day for the purposes of the National Emergencies Act" so they don't have to show their hand regarding Trump's tariffs and also how dysfunctional Congress rules are that can allow this stupidity

But hey, there's nothing that surprises now the more is exposed about the US "experiment"

Ah yes, the steely Dan, pretzel Logic album - love them.
I would love if those first two lines were true and about trump
"we heard your leaving, that's ok
I thought our little wild time had just begun"
 
There are so many things wrong with the US system that I despair if it's possible, at this stage, to save it - just too many systemic flaws being revealed every day
 
Thanks for the updated link.

This is what MAGA kids don't get - the entirety of the autocratic actions being taken since inauguration is based on temporary powers that the Executive has declared. Congress has every right to restrict the length of time that this power can be declared.

As a valid example - In Ukraine, Zelensky has declared martial law which was them ratified by Parliament. If he were a dictator, Parliament would have no right to object or alter that declaration - Instead, as a democracy, the Ukranian Parliament has ratified and extended the martial law declaration every 90 days as required by their Constitutional duties. If they voted against such declaration, martial law would be halted and a new election would be held. If they refused to vote, the Constitution requires that a new election be held to elect a new representative government.

But instead, the US Republican Congress has blocked any accountability.
 
Yes, I don't know of any other parlimentary body in any sane country who would scupper & bypass Congress in such an idiotic shameful way. They're just treating Congress as a joke - unserious, d led from above
 
Doing the math, it would only take 4 republicans to have fatal accidents, and the Democrats would then control the house till the elections were held. If I can figure this out, I'm sure some crazy American with a gun can too......
