    Its about the most spiteful thing that can do at this point. All actually impactful changes will be undone immediatly. The one thing they can do is make all 45s fanatics re-buy their merch.

      Most, but not all. Biden can still pardon criminals, provide aid to allies, seat remaining judge vacancies, and declassify information with his remaining time in office. All of which are irreversible.

        1. Fair, that one would work.
        2. The aid would have to get out the door quick, if its left on a runway the day of, it aint flying.
        3. Obstrictionist Legislator, nope. And with the full GOP governemt they are already planning of flipping the switch on absentee appointments, which haven’t been allowed since Obama.
        4. Fair, but even retaining damning classified info wont sway any minds, so why bother.

        Point being, the things that can be done are minimal, other than being petty and spiteful (and leaving trump an upper-decker in the ovel office restroom, that one just something I would do).

          LMAO at the upper-decker

          I don’t follow what you mean about judge appointments. Lower court judge appointments only require the approval of our currently Democratic controlled Senate.

          As of October 31, 2024, the United States Senate has confirmed 213 Article III judges nominated by Biden: one associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, 44 judges for the United States courts of appeals, 166 judges for the United States district courts and two judges for the United States Court of International Trade. There are 28 nominations awaiting Senate action: five for the courts of appeals and 23 for the district courts. There are two vacancies on the U.S. courts of appeals and 44 vacancies on the U.S. district courts, as well as 18 announced vacancies that may occur before the end of Biden’s term (four for the courts of appeals and 14 for district courts).

            Fair, but they have 2ish sessions left before the term is over and its in the middle of the holiday season… I appeciate the correction, but any feet dragging means these dont happen in time either.

      The only positive this would have is making them buy new merch. There would be no other upside. Zero.

        If they spend money on the merch they can’t spend it on their tariffed goods 🤷🏻‍♂️

    Oh, it’s obviously fucking stupid.

    That’s the point, it’s petty as shit and would invalidate all of their “45/47” merch, in addition to making her the first woman president, there is no “logical” method to the madness , just shits and giggles
