They're going to really show Trump how unfair he is being, appeal to his better nature, and make him feel bad so he changes his ways. They may even point out how he's not following the rules as they're normally interpreted. For sure it will work this time. There's no way he can survive this.

Woah, woah, woah! They're also going to point out how he's not following norms...
Guess the gloves are coming off, god damn...
what better nature? He ain't got one
Please, please don't make people use the sarcasm /s symbol here. That garbage can stay on reddit.
Right. Democrats putting up a fight. Sure.
lol yeah what the hell is that headline? Some democrats are already turning against the trans community 🙄
Please explain this to me, I keep seeing comments like this but haven't seen any related article etc.
2-3 democrats shortly after the election made public comments and/or internet posts that were either anti or dismissive of trans people. Couldn't tell you the names at this point but I googled the phrase "democrats turn on trans" and got enough hits to read more about it
Thanks!
Oooo They are going to write such a strongly worded memo!
Well they lost majority so fat chances.
They are going to TP his chair.
Someone's going to sneak a fart bag on his chair right before he sits down, and everyone will laugh at him!
Classic democrat pranksters!

Bullshit
On any GOP-only legislation, there is "going to be enormous pressure" on Republican centrists to break away, said Rep. Joe Morelle (D-N.Y.)

I'm not gonna believe it unless he cries on tv
"We really, really mean it this time."
I hope they all use the men's room. All of them.

Doubt. The House isn't the Senate, the minority can't do shit.
The senate minority cant do shit either. The senate filibuster rules are enforced by the parliamentarian, who the vice president can overrule. Doesn't even need to abolish filibuster
Oh bless their hearts, they think they hold power.
Awesome, glad you decided to do your job after throwing the fight
Wishful fucking thinking.
With what leverage? They could take Lemmy's advice and get deep into beans so that they are gassy all the time, but beyond farting and stinking the place up, the cake is baked.
There's some things to be hopeful about. Trump cannot run again, so the republican party has no choice but to be thinking about what's next. Additionally, aside from the slim majority in the house, mid-term elections are only two years away. That means the Republicans need to thread a needle here by sufficiently pacifying the MAGA diehards and Trump, but not so much that they have complete reign over the direction of the economy.
Many in the republican party have become full-on cultists. But many of them also just play-act because it's where the power is right now. And many of them aren't in the cult, but they simply ignore it because it benefits the party. If the Magats are given no leash, their policies will almost inevitably turn the electorate against them. So many of Trump's proposals are good "tough guy" vengeance talking points that speak to aggrieved white people, but the election was closer than they are pretending.
If Trump goes on a full vengeance tour and his Project 2025 crew enacts their policies, the consequences of all that rhetoric will be devastating to poor white people. I know we like to think it happened during his first term and they didn't care, but it's not true. He was a fairly ineffective president. But now that he's got people around him that want to actually act not talk, there's a huge downside risk that they'll start losing power during the mid-term elections. If that happens, the last two years for Trump will be miserable as everyone jumps ship from the senile guy in his mid-80s that can't run again and is bleeding out the republican party of support.
Political pragmatics will force the republican party to turn on him. He's simply unable to wield much influence after his last term. He will be too old and have no political future. And that will be recognized and cause some political realignment far before his presidency comes to an end.
Trump can't legally run again based on our current legal framework. I think that's somewhat important to clarify.

Why can't Trump run for a Third Term? Because the Constitution says so? Psh! When have Republicans cared about the Constitution (except when Defending people who Murder a Bunch of Children in a School!)?
It's theoretically possible but extremely unlikely for a number of reasons. There's a difference between bending constitutional intent by flouting democratic norms on the one hand, and outright ignoring what most people consider to be an explicit and core constitutional principle on the other. And, again, I'm not someone that believes Trump is ultimately heading for a lich-king transformation, so basic biology makes it even more unlikely.
As they should
