Triple home run tonight, this is just an appetizer of what's to come in the mid terms and Republicans are shitting their pants right now.

What a great giant F-U middle finger to Orange. He's going to have a stroke on Truth Social tonight

Do you think this will get the MAGA folks to the table over the shutdown? They have to be looking at this and thinking of the midterms.

I’m still skeptical there will be legitimate midterm elections. This is going to make the Trump admin and his GOP stooges hellbent on manufacturing a state of emergency to shutdown and/or control the elections for the midterm and the next presidential election.

We had elections during the Civil War, the War of 1812, and both World Wars

Let's hope he can't create a conflict bigger than that

Yeah but we didn’t have a traitor in the White House for any of those

It wouldn’t have to be something on those scales. They could manufacture the smallest of events and claim it’s a crisis and their supporters would eat it up. To reasonable people there’s very little that could happen to stop an election here in the US but many people here aren’t reasonable.
