What a frivolous waste of congressional speaking time. I thought these guys had real problems to solve? I thought Trump was gonna fix it all this time around? You’re telling me not even 1 week into his new term and he’s already thinking about how the job won’t be done in time?
The worry is that perhaps Trump is smarter than he appears, and all he’s doing is showing his followers that he’s still all about setting up a autocratic government which they’ll get to be the muscle for, ready to do a violent takeover the moment elections stop working (just like last time, but this time better armed and better organised)
If this fails, you can expect them to redefine what a “term” means. And if that fails they can simply cancel elections under “emergency” conditions and keep him in office for longer.
… and if that fails, they can just say “too bad” and do whatever they want anyway because who’s going to stop them?
I just want to point out that this is just one of the many many campaign promises he is trying to fulfill. Sure, it’s a big deal. But simply saying “conservatives are pathetic” is not only reactionary, it is wrong. Look at what is happening to immigrants. You might not see them as a problem, but conservatives do, and they are “solving” it.
Just saying, this shit is way scarier this time around. They’re fuckin’ moving.

Conservatives are pathetic.
On the other hand, better they do nothing than actuality successfully fucking everything up.

Trump, if anything, is much less smart than he appears. The guy managed to bankrupt a casino. That takes a special kind of stupid.

And if everything they try fails then “see it wasn’t so bad”
