Things I have already talked to him about: ACA, Betsy DeVos, Climate Change

Wipqozn

At this point I'd be concerned about even having children since I'm not sure if they'd even have a world to grow up in. Like I'm fucking deep into it.

and just ignoring it doesn't help, since I know the planet is still fucked

Tim Stone

Nah, don't lose hope. Things are pretty crappy at the moment but people are really not enthusiastic about Trump on the whole. The GOP was happy to play along when there were no consequences but it may start to get tiring for them now that they'll have to answer to constituents

Wipqozn

2:39 PM

The problem is the GOP doesn't believe in climate change either, from what I've seen

Tim Stone

No, but creating a schism between Congress and the administration will impact the rate at which they can do anything more damaging

@badp I'd think that would drive folks to talk political action, though

I mean if it's your fault the world is fucked, then it's your job to fix it, and that would include taking political action to invoke political change

Would they even be allowed to do that though?

Unionhawk

re: those judges

@GnomeSlice I don't think you understand (and neither does this person), the whole legal case is about how Brexit is undertaken, something that was not on the ballot paper at all.

Avery

What's Next from Barack and Michelle Obama

►

fredley

It's not about moaning about democracy when it doesn't go a certain way (although anyone is fully entitled to do that), it's about making sure the legal powers we have in place as part of that democracy are used to their fullest extent to put limits on executive power. The judiciary is one of the pieces of Government that makes sure it stays a democracy.

The court case is not about 'preventing' Brexit, it's about giving Parliament a (democratic) vote on the Brexit bill, making sure that exactly how we choose to leave the EU (hard/soft/red/white/blue/etc.) is as fair as possible, rather than giving the incumbent Prime Minister freedom to do whatever she likes under the mandate of 'the people have spoken'.
