So let me guess what’s going to be done about it….Nothing as usual. One insane tyrant, running a fascist regime puts our country in jeopardy, bypasses Congress & starts a war and no one will even slap his little tiny hands.
Senate parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough has ruled that several key pieces of the Big Crappy bill to implement Trump’s agenda run afoul of the Byrd Rule and must be taken out of the package to allow it to pass with a simple majority vote on a special procedural fast track.
The parliamentarian ruled against several provisions under the jurisdictions of the Senate committees on Banking, Environment and Public Works, and Armed Services.
These included a provision that would have placed a funding cap on the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), which would have cut $6.4 billion from the agency by reducing its maximum funding to zero percent of the Federal Reserve’s operating expenses. The funding cut would have eliminated the agency.
The creation of the CFPB was one of the central reforms of the Dodd-Frank Act that Democrats passed in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis.
She also ruled against language cutting $1.4 billion in costs by reducing the pay of Federal Reserve staff, cutting $293 million by reducing the Office of Financial Research funding and cutting $771 million by eliminating the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board.

Excellent response, thank you for that very well thought out and informative answer. It gives me a lot to think about although I am still hard-pressed to believe there will be any positive outcome from his term especially in light of the latest attack on Iran without congressional approval.
Is this finally the last straw that will get congress, etc. to get him out of office?
I didn’t make this up:
The combination of "murderous," "narcissistic," and "sociopath" describes individuals who exhibit traits associated with both narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) and antisocial personality disorder (ASPD), and who are capable of committing harmful acts, even murder.
Does this sound familiar? This is a sick, twisted, individual sitting in the offal office. All by his little evil, totally unraveled mind, has dragged us into a war. A war in which more of our troops will die because of this megalomaniac! And We the People can do nothing except watch in horror!
MAGA Mike is not the happiest pea in the pod. He’s a creepy little thing.
I’m watching MTN. Von Schitzinpants lied about the ceasefire. I’m shocked! 😱. I hope they do split. I’m inclined to be optimistic. I know there are some of them that still have a scruple or two left. But this BS about a ceasefire won’t go over well. What steams my clams is Congress doesn’t seem too concerned about the fact that dirty diaper Donnie violated the Constitution in a very bigly way.
And Biden is being blamed for this! There are Biden terrorists out there. Not kidding; out of the mouth of Ben Meiselas.
Oh no! Been monitoring messages. They are pissed. Lots of MAGA is. Remember many are antisemitic. Most are saying this is not America first and how the prices are still high.
Perhaps a war with Iran provides the cover for domestic attacks against foreign enemies from within who could be anybody as no due process is provided. An attack on u.s. soil is the excuse needed to crack down. Folks need to stop assuming fair rules apply, they do not. There are no rules, and that is intended.
This truly is just about all of Don the Con's ego issues, his bad lackadaisical parade, and his boring week. I am worried for all the reasons you've stated, as well as the worry on how much any intelligent help has been decapitated from DOD and other relevant agencies. The size of Iran, the population of Iran, the actual fucking terrain of Iran makes all of this a stupid idea to risk.
Are War Crimes still a thing? We knew when his little parade didn’t give him the dopamine hit required to ease his narcissism, a tantrum would follow. His level of insecurity equals his egocentric attempts at attention seeking.
Now he’s dropped us right in the middle of something and we are, once again, the world police, only this time there will likely be severe consequences and, unfortunately, our troops and possibly innocent civilians will pay the price on his behalf.
I am sixty five and my whole life, we seem to have been in unnecessary conflicts. And lots of my family have served in the armed force, so the veterans have recounted their experiences. Cuban missile crisis, Dad drafted because of that and served as a doctor, Vietnam,my uncle served, came back screwed up, secret bombing of Cambodia, that caused Pol Pot, Grenada, Panama,to get rid of our ally, Noriega, Iraq,to get rid of Sadam Hussein, who is pictured smilingly shaking Rumsfeld' s hand, Afghanistan, Pakistan had told us Osama bin Laden was there, but for some reason, Bush wanted to go there, and fight... now this! When will this lack of diplomacy stop and the craziness stop? And now, we might lose our democracy? Good God, please help us.
This is where "I came in" so to speak. In 1979 I watched the teletype--"you better get us out , it's getting to be a witchhunt around here." Our political economy continues to fail us.
ONCE AGAIN he proves that he is NOT capable of leadership. He CANNOT Art of the deal with Comprehensive Immigration Reform legislation and he CANNOT Art of the deal with the Iranian nuclear situation. With him it is ALWAYS my way or the highway and to hell with who gets hurt in the process, and to hell with any rules or laws or that thing the U.S. Constitution, just as long as he is the center of attention. The absolute WORST person possible to be in the position he is. He MUST be removed from office. With him every day just gets worse and worse and worse for America and the world........ (What next - bomb Ukraine for Putin?)
He did this because TACO. Now he can beat his chest and his cult can admire his manliness. Israel killed all the scientists. They didn’t need our help.
“Oil is sure to spike on this initial news, but will likely level in a few days. With this demonstration of force and total annihilation of its nuclear capabilities, they’ve lost all of their leverage and will likely hit the escape button to a peace deal."
MARK MALEK, CHIEF INVESTMENT OFFICER, SIEBERT FINANCIAL, NYC:
"I think it’s going to be very positive for the stock market. I believe that on Friday if you’d asked me, I would have expected two weeks of volatility with markets trying to analyze every drib and drab of information coming out of the White House and I would have said that it would have been better to make a decision last week.
"So this will be reassuring, especially since it seems like a one and done situation and not as if (the US) is seeking a long, drawn out conflict. The biggest risk still out there is the Strait of Hormuz. It could certainly change everything if Iran has the capability to close it."
All of us intelligent individuals knew this despicable thing(I can not call him human) would cause catastrophic events. His first term was disastrous yet he was (voted)? for a second term? Was he legally voted in? Look at his campaign, look at ALL his unqualified staff!!!!! Simply a filthy rotten, deplorable, disastrous, despicable.......(no need to say more) pieces of shit running our country. A once WONDERFUL country now just a pile of SHIT. THANKS TO ALL YOU MEGAS, REPUBLICAN ASS HOLES who support this CREATURE!!!! Watch how many of them will praise him!!!
Watch how high the prices sky rocket to the point that poor and middle class people can not afford essentials to sustain life! First the cuts, then tariffs now WAR? I will wrap this up now. My anger is getting the best of me. I am not a Bible thumper but it has been written that this would happen.
All I can say is GOD BLESS US ALL! BE SAFE EVERYONE!
I applaud you!! I stand with everything you said!!!!
I know in my heart that he didn't get elected legally. Musk and/or and with others upset the election. Not unlike the 2020 election was fairly done that he is still fighting against. More people were against him in 2024 than in 2020 and get somehow got elected. Hymmph!!! I HATE HIM AND HOPE AND PRAY THAT HE IS GONE SOONER THAN LATER!!! INHUMANE EVIL MONSTER!!!!
Sir. I have someone tellin me "This isn't a declaration of war. It's a military strike. I don't like it but it isn't the same." Please make it make sense.
Without Provocation..!!..?? 😮😮 Without !! Proof..!!..?? 😮😮😮 Without Counsel And Recommendations From Congress…!!!…??? Yeah !! Blatant Act Of War…🤔🤔🤔 !!!?
No Congressional APPROVAL...!!!! ?? WHAT An Idiot !! I Told Everyone !! Long Before The Election Year If Their Was Anybody That would Get Us In A Nuclear War It would Be Trump...!!!??🤔🤔🤔🤔 How Does This Idiot Know If Russia Has Already Sold The Iranians A Nuclear Bomb..!! ..?? Or Any Other Countries For That Matter..???? Well Without Congressional APPROVAL !! They Will Probably Bring It To Us !! All Over The World !! Because That My Friends Is A Clear Act Of War..!!!.??? Don't Be Surprised ! If Our Allies Don't Support Us..???
He is such an ignorant pathetic weak person wanting attention!!!! Thinks he is a king and do what he wants without getting ok from Congress as rules say. There are other fools in this unadministration looking for glory. I look forward to this abomination being over soon and they are gone. It will take years to correct the things they have done and will continue to do.
Please VOTE BLUE IN 2026 TO GET US INTO MAJORITY TO RECTIFY ALL OF THIS!!!! 🇺🇸🗽🌊💙🙏🏼💞
No printable words for where we are today, but magats should be the first on the line for war. Let them cosplay their war fantasies in real life. kristi & hegseth & stevey miller can lead the charge.
So let me guess what’s going to be done about it….Nothing as usual. One insane tyrant, running a fascist regime puts our country in jeopardy, bypasses Congress & starts a war and no one will even slap his little tiny hands.
We gotta press Congress.
We can, but they will do nothing about him. They are afraid, love power and money. Shows you exactly what most Repugs are all about!!!🚨🤬
I agree, but I also ask you what good has it done so far?
We can upset his agenda via the budget.
Senate parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough has ruled that several key pieces of the Big Crappy bill to implement Trump’s agenda run afoul of the Byrd Rule and must be taken out of the package to allow it to pass with a simple majority vote on a special procedural fast track.

Repubs in Congress will rally round the Chief. I think the MAGA "split" iin the base is likely overblown by an eager media.
MAGA Mike is not the happiest pea in the pod. He’s a creepy little thing.

Already praying. Just called Congress.
As an aside, the proud boys threatened to pull support if Trump engaged in war actions. Original message can be found on telegram.

Yes, this is yet another step towards absolute power consolidation by Trump.
Trump has crossed yet another red line, and Democratic leadership doesn't even bother to pretend to be outraged.
Welp, that was the shortest “two weeks” we’ve ever lived thru.

When will it end?

Of course we have.....
And no doubt Trump had enough FUN with his MOAB to shirt himself.
That was a flatulence joke.
Basically, but out of a more genuine place of anger.
ONCE AGAIN he proves that he is NOT capable of leadership. He CANNOT Art of the deal with Comprehensive Immigration Reform legislation and he CANNOT Art of the deal with the Iranian nuclear situation.

I don't think he'd have done it without approval of the gulf states.
Check the calls on oil prices. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XVNIKScrDZg
Probably he needed the OK from bone saw Arabs.

what a moronic comment. Malek's background is all finance. He's a market booster.
The same thing could have been said and was said when we attacked Afghanistan. Does anyone think the US was seeking a long drawn out conflict in Iraq?
Nobody knows where this goes.
The military industrial complex sees every war as a business opportunity.
I’m most worried about the unexpected areas in our country. This is going to lead to something unexpected and devastating.
Nick, I agree.
Think: July 4th. And it will be here, not over there in the Middle East, but here.
And we all were traumatized by 9/11. I expect something devastating in Iran’s rsvp.
