As usual Jarod wins the dumbest comment of the thread. Poor bastard has no idea what 'checks and balances' means.
Lock Step?
The voters just gave Trump and MAGA a massive mandate and you're whining that Republicans are actually listening to the guy the country elected. That's not 'destroying checks and balances,' you knuckle dragging idiot. That's called democracy.
Where was this sudden concern for 'independence' when Democrats were in full lockstep passing Biden's radical agenda for four years? When they protected him through every scandal, every open border disaster, every inflation spike? Crickets.
Checks and balances don't mean "constant sabotage of the winning party.' The real threat to checks and balances was the weaponized courts, intelligence agencies, and media trying to jail their political opponent. Not Republicans working together after winning big. We're supposed to have three co-equal branches for checks and balances, dumbass.
You lost. The country spoke. You still can't deal with it.
How many Democrats voted against Biden's major bills? 0. Usually in both houses, zero. The only exception was the Infrastructure Bill when they let 6 democrats in the house in red districts vote no when there was no chance of the bill not passing. It passed the house and, in the Senate, zero no's.
