As part of new tariffs on Chinese imports, President Donald Trump eliminated an exemption for small packages, vastly increasing the amount of parcels US Customs and Border Protection needs to inspect.
Um, I’m watching time and time again how the cons, even as a minority, were able to slow things down, demand concessions, etc., in Congress. I’m also watching how an unelected, non-government employee with no clearance and no confirmation like fElon, running a fictional agency, is able to declare that an entire REAL AGENCY is being dismantled.
So…why couldn’t Biden fire that partisan hack? He just watched donvict break all kinds of norms for four years during his residency, like having “acting” cabinet members w/o any confirmations and then attempting a coup while stoking an insurrection, so I doubt too many people but the stupid and useless Tone Police were going to do anything about him firing DeJoy.
Oh, I woulda been fine with him using “official acts” against certain people. It is less “well they do it so we can do it” and more “we should be destroying them for doing it”. Voters don’t care and people in power are paid off.
Because it’s far harder to build than to destroy. That’s the simple answer.
Democrats actually want to govern. They might be fucking stupid sometimes, but they (generally, obv there are exceptions) want the US to be successful in the long run. And because of that, they’re beholden to mores that the Trump side could not care less about.
The lack of punishment for not wanting to actually govern, and instead abuse power, is the frustrating part. The illusion of checks and balances is broken and I am not sure we will get to learn from this and rebuild.
