    Things the Executive can do alone:

    1. Executive order rescinding all Trumps EOs
    2. Abolish ICE and dissolve DHS. Trump did it with USAID so I don’t want to hear “Congress has to approve it”.
    3. Instruct the DOJ to prosecute ICE agents and investigate anyone on the Epstein Files.
    4. Instruct the DOJ to prosecute all Trump Admin officials. (Put Steven Miller in a pillory on the national mall)
    5. End all govt contracts with Palantir and Elon Musk’s companies.
    6. Hand Pete Hegeseth and Marco Rubio over to the ICC for boat bombings.
    7. Stop the White House ballroom and all other vanity projects.

    Things they need Congress to do:

    1. End/Reverse Citizens United
    2. Expand the Supreme Court
    3. Impeach all Trump judicial nominees. Especially Emile Bove and Aileen Cannon.
    4. Expand the House of Representatives.

    Truthfully, Trump has done irreparable damage to the US both domestically and internationally. I don’t think most of us will live to see it fully rolled back. The most important thing the next Dem president can do is punish the Trump admin. Show that there are consequences and the rule of law matters.

      I would vote so hard for any party/candidate with all these items as their primary objective. But most of these sure as hell aren’t going to be on the Democrats’ plan of action.

      Bingo.

      It"s a tale as old as time. If bad behavior isn’t punished, it continues. The single most important thing the next admin can do is make sure there are HARSH punishments for the criminals and traitors in our midst.

      Beyond that there needs to be serious pushes to expand the Supreme Court to address its corruption. And a million other things.

      But yeah, you’re right. Most of us won’t live to see a full recovery from this. Everyone should remember that when interfacing with their conservative friends/family. If you still have them. I’ve broken ties because I don’t need that kind of filth in my life.

    “I hereby rescind any and all executive orders signed by president Donald Trump”

    Executive Order of next Democratic president.

    Of course that doesn’t fix the generational damage that has been done at a time when we don’t have generations left to fix the earth.

      Right? Stop relying on the system, America. It’s not working. You’re going to need to actually DO something. Like striking for a week.

    They’re not going to be able to. Not in a timely manner.

    This is why simply voting will just not work. It’s not going to work for one election. It has to work for every election afterwards, which people aren’t caring to understand. Right now, things are being damaged and we’re not exactly holding the people doing the damage as accountable as firm wording makes it sound like.

    It’ll take generations to even make America a trustworthy and livable country again. This is what happens, when you stupidly vote and senselessly damn millions of people to be subjected to years of a nightmare circus. All because you could not be bothered to take not even one minute to educate yourself, figure where everyone stands on the issues and weed out what’s truth and what’s false.

    There’s no excuse anymore and I will not hear of any. The Democrats aren’t even giving people a convincing argument as to why anyone should vote for them, when they’ve help fund the very people who’ve murdered Americans in broad daylight under the guise of being an immigration department.

    We need an Independent president, but people are too scared to even try because they’re eternally locked into the two-party system, even though, both parties have systematically let the people down over and over and over again. When was the last time we had an Independent president? Oh, some 170+ years ago.

    Enjoy the hell we’re living in, because millions of you cast us into this and we’re not going to learn a fucking thing from it because we believe in stupid karma systems and unproven entities to clean up our problems.

    Expanding the seats of supreme justices, executive orders to undo Trumps, replace every person Trump assigned, then instructing congress to put some laws down to fix all the holes the GOP used and abused.

    Put the DOJ onto prosecuting a number of people that were performing illegal activities.

    He can also instruct DHS to rake the forest instead of doing much anything else.

      Honestly, I think we need someone to brazenly and publicly abuse the same loopholes they exploited. Then dare them to close them.

    Shouldn’t have treated these fascist criminals with kid gloves. They shouldn’t have tried to take the high road. There is no high road anymore, thanks to their sinkhole existences.

    Fuck em. EO them all to jail.
