Trump tweeting right now about "going to 51 votes" in Senate

[oberliner]

Wants to get rid of the filibuster, apparently.

Seems like what he really wants is a dictatorship.

[madokie]

1. Actually thats what he thought he had

[malaise]

2. He doesn't run the Senate

Fuck that fucking fuck - Senators should tell him to STFU.

Like the fool doesn't realize he couldn't find 51 votes early yesterday morning. The vote went down 49for -51against - what a stupid fucking idiot.

3. x 1000 more Fucks

You took the words out of my mouth

[malaise]

4. LOL

[spanone]

7. didn't see your post and posted damn near the same thing!!!!

[malaise]

11. Hahahahahahha

At least we have regular order

[oberliner]

8. I would love to see that happen

Republican Senators need to stand up to him for once.

[muriel_volestrangler]

12. In his mind, he does. He thinks he runs everything now.

If people don't do what he wants, he gets to fire them, or to change the rules. Life is Calvinball to him. He 'won' in 2016, so no-one else gets to win for 4 years.

[malaise]

14. He is a raving lunatic

He must be stopped. This cannot continue. He represents ignorance and buffoonery on steroids.

[spanone]

5. hey dumbass 'president' you couldn't get 51....STFU

[D_Master81]

6. Dictator Don

Trump is going to completely destroy all the protections our forefathers put in place to avoid a dictatorship if he can to benefit himself.

[SecularMotion]

9. He's a sore loser

[ck4829]

10. Might as well call it an Enabling Act if that happens

[vlyons]

13. He's lazy and arrogant and wants an easy path

He's too lazy to build relationships with Senators. Too lazy to develop detailed policies. Too lazy and unfocused to develop cogent arguments to persuade others. Insults and threats are his only repertoire.

[rufus dog]

15. Great point

Actually GREAT FUCKING POINT!

Remember the media was all over Obama for not reaching out to legislators, he was deemed too aloof.

[yardwork]

16. He's the opposite of Obama in every way.

It's appalling and sad.

[oberliner]

17. Amen

And, sadly, that is part of why his base likes him.
