T. Greg Doucette: Senate Dems should take one of their assorted gun control bills off the shelf, rename it something like "Trump Assassination Prevention Act," and force Rs to do a talking filibuster to block it

Emergency Assassination Remedy (EAR) Act

bwahaha

win

Pahahaha you win the Internet today

This would be so funny that’s how I know Dems would never do it

spit take dot gif

A little too on the nose there.

It felt left out!

Lol

Biden should publicly ask Trump to do a joint ad against political violence.

Brilliant.

And then heavily publicize it when Trump turns the invitation down!

and get SNL to do it anyway 🤣🤣

Why

This pleases me in adult ways.

Adult, or 🍆 adult 🍑 ?

Yes.

🍻

Probably the best chance we're going to have at banning AR-15s and similars in my lifetime.

Ah I see. The TrAP Act.

He's very clever.

I was reminded that had I thought just a little bit harder, I'd have tossed a "Stop" in the end so we could have the STrAP Act

Greg’s proposed name is much better than mine. bsky.app/profile/altt...

It’s past time for decent gun legislation. Might I suggest the Congressional Act to Prevent Homocides In ‘Murica.

… or, if one wanted to be a tad more professional. “Congressional Act for Prevention of Homocide, Injury & Mayhem”

I saw the TAPA’s act, which I assumed was a side reference to Spanish cuisine.

This would be hilarious and also good politics and also good policy, potentially.

Damn, that genius.

Trump Rally Assassination Prevention (TRAP) act

This is delightful, and if we are ever in one another’s presence you will drink for free.

And who were wearing the AR-15 lapel pins promoting guns the whole times while they were on the Congress debate floor?

smh

Ask and you shall receive.

yup yup

Its right there! bsky.app/profile/coxi...

If Dems go with civility discourse instead of a hard shift to gun control, I can’t see how they win. They aren’t winning over never actually read the constitution gun nuts anyway. Take a fucking stance for once challenge.

This is a great idea for all laws they oppose. Make them explain why they voted down such an obvious good.

The Machined Automatic Guns Act (MAGA)

I forgot that talking filibusters are an actual thing.

#DOUCETTE2024

this is good

Something something this all could have been prevented if Trump's ear had a gun.

Stop Trump Assassins From Firing Everywhere Rapidly

Yup, exactly like when SCOTUS gave Biden total impunity to do what he wants and he chose to use that power to stop Trump.

Should they do something similar about the presidential immunity ruling and conspiracy theories abot Biden's involvement?

Nothing to be done with the immunity ruling IMO, except expanding the Court SCOTUS was interpreting the Constitution, so any statute trying to modify their interpretation would get held unconstitutional

Which part of the Constitution did they derive their judgment from? 😳

A combination of separation of powers and the Take Care clause Essentially, the Constitution's "emanations and penumbras" are bad when it comes to abortion but good when it comes to enabling autocracy

One of these recent or near future rulings has the capacity to become the Plessy of our times, if only they try hard enough. I guess I'm the traitor, though, for wanting the Fourteenth and Fifteen Amendments to have meaning.

another recently discovered clause of the 14th amendment. been a few new ones recently.

It could be an amendment to the Constitution.

Oh definitely. The challenge there is political: can't imagine anything get 2/3 of both houses of Congress and 3/4 of state legislatures
