Right? He's not doing anything! He has enormous bully pulpit power to fuck with the GOP and he's not using it. I always point this out, the SCOTUS has ruled that he can literally just point at someone, say "Terrorist!" and shoot them in the head! And he has endless more realistic powers through is dictatorial control of the executive, federal law enforcement, all kinds of shit. I have had libs straight up tell me that it would be wrong for him to use any of it. Like, I posit "Well what if he just told the justice department to move the criminal investigation of whoever to the top of the pile? They don't have to make any charges up, these guys are legit genuine criminals, just move the prosecution of their real and legitimate crimes to the top of the to-do list" and dems start whining about norms and civility and abuse of power. He has power. He has vast power. he's the goddamn POTUS! He's not doing shit about shit. Fuck!~
As near as I can tell almost all action against GOP anti-Trans bills is coming from the fucking GOP as judges or even legislators shut it down for being too batshit and unconstitutional for even them to stomach! FDUCKFSDLJSAFGL:KDJFK:LAEDSJKLGFDASJK:LGEDASjkl;gdgfj;klawdssjkl;;gaejkd;lfsga
