The Democratic Leadership is in on it.
Congress, not the President, passes laws. Executive orders are not edicts.
But Democratic Leadership will do nothing to stop Donald Trump, because they are complicit.
They will give you every excuse on why trying does not matter. It is a lie. Trying, even if you may fail, is still not being complicit.
EVEN REPUBLICAN SENATORS AND POLITICIANS ARE BEGINNING TO SEE THAT PUTIN IS PLAYING TRUMP LIKE A PUPPET.

Trump’s first 100 days in office?

Political forecasts suggest that Trump in the WH will continue to suck until the end of his third or fourth term.

"Courts Handed Trump A Slew of Legal Losses This Week"
https://www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/president-trump-federal-court-losses-rulings/
"Conservative and liberal judges across the country this week ruled against President Donald Trump in at least 11 different lawsuits challenging his administration’s immigration, elections and anti-diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) efforts."
In a win for voters, a federal court ordered Mississippi to draw new state senate districts for Desoto County, finding that its new map does not fix violations of the Voting Rights Act. #voting #votingrights #democracy #election #freedom
