The Democrats are in control of nothing.

Donald Trump and the Republicans are in charge of everything.

Democrats cannot be blamed for anything that happens in our government, at least for the next two years.

In my opinion, that is the narrative that we should promote for the next two years. Whatever happens, it's Trump and the Republicans fault.

It's not a position we prefer to be but it is where we are.

With his eating habits and emotional outbursts, he's on a collision course with a cerebral hemorrhage. Keep those Big Macs coming. On the downside, of course, is the "youngster" JDVance; the figurehead for the owners of this country.

Hell, they'll blame it on Harris for not winning the election in the first place if they have to...

Trump is 100% immune to fault, blame, or culpability. There's no scandal he can't pin on an expendable subordinate, and they're ALL expendable except for Melon Husk. Even news shows that might try to tell the truth are too scared of reprisals now. Anything short of smearing his own feces on the walls of the Oval Office will be seen as savvy political genius and "Making America Great"...😒

And that's enough to hamstring quite a bit, since it's still in place with no obvious plans to discontinue it for most things.
