magaGOP has NO interest in resolving problems they worked so hard to foster or create

Before we beat ourselves up over how to resolve the problems our country faces nine months into a 2nd trump/maga [FN1] term in the Oval Office, we need to realize:

trump/maga doesn’t want to resolve the problems we face. That’s why they do nothing. 1/10

They hold: Oval Office, House & Senate, & a 6 lick-spittle super-majority on SCOTUS to rubber-stamp what they do. Legislation? The big bullshit bill has been a failure. Anything else? Dictatorial decrees (a/k/a Executive…

Sen Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) said today that a “third term”in office for trump is clearly forbidden by the Constitution. [FN1] She explained that even if a convention is called under Article V and a “new” Constitution is written, still there are steps that must be taken to ratify it. 1/6
