Unfathomably funny- He also just removed virtually all of the awful republican line items from the budget, so they got nothing.

Everyone please keep doing this to chuds forever. Just veto out letters from their bullshit to make the entirely different legislation you want instead.

    Looking through the malding in the comments and found a treat from SocDoneLeft (racist pseudo-leftist and sub-Vaush tier punching bag:)

    I love the policy but hate that this is possible Governors should not exist -- every state should be a unicameral legislature & executive roles should be directly elected But line-item vetos should EXTREMELY not exist

    If US states had unicameral parliaments, then every red state would be a permanent one-party dictatorship by the GOP with no possibility of any checks any majority of voters.

      This is currently the situation in most red states, there are no checks on them already. Bicameral legislatures are undemocratic and bad and we shouldn’t have them. Like, they make even less sense than a bicameral federal setup. Ostensibly, there is a reason why an states should have equal footing in a senate (it’s mostly for the bourgeoisie to maintain power, but I get the idealistic argument) but at the state level the senate maps are either arbitrary or follow county lines, which makes no sense.

        My comment was less about the unicameral/bicameral legislature, and more about the lack of a popularly elected governor. For the states, since both house and senate seats are basically allocated in the same manner (proportional to population with gerrymandering) the distinction doesn't matter on the state level.

      The bicameral legislature is literally one of the worst elements of the structure of the government along with the electoral college and constitutional review.

      States shouldn’t exist either, but if I had to choose between state that kills me and state that gives me food, I’ll choose the state that gives me food. Isn’t this what liberals call harm reduction?
