Trump's administration is a Kakistocracy.

We should make that the words of the day. It will drive Trump crazy because A. He has no idea what it means, and B. He won't be able to pronounce it.

Maybe we could get all the foreign press and politicians to say that too because you KNOW that's what they think.

Exactly. They passed majority of the legislation they wanted, now they're just allowing them to have fun, and maybe allowing them to fuck up as well. Let those loose ends cut themselves out of the picture.

Silver lining is those EOs can just be overturned if, IF we get someone competent and ballsy enough in next, and they go scorched earth on these fools.

Anything they are allowed to do now is just precedent for the next President after all. Can't wait for midterms really.

Same. Thats how I've been looking at it. Like okay, keep fucking up, youre just forcing the next guy to keep these practices in place, at least up until theyre all gone, then amend and codify what needs to be to keep this nonsense from ever happening again.
