Trump Countdown Clock: Days Until Our GOP National Nightmare Ends

 

End of Trumpism, End of MaGAism

End of Toxic Conservatism in Power

End of this Toxic Republican Party

End of America's stupid experiment in Authoritarianism

Someone posted to this that we need action, not just dates.
True, this is merely something to shoot for. Sooner if possible.

But it helps to have a goal. A date. A time.

And then shoot for sooner.

Merely waiting for this to be over, does NOTHING.

Act.

Our national nightmare, on the clock...

Term's End

The Indictments

until DOJ leadership no longer answers to him, January 21, 2029

In this tine of "Corporate Thought" meaning no morals, no ethics, profit over all else, disinformation, post-truth, toxic conservatism, etc., our government no longer functions correctly due to having been set up with a consideration that people would not stoop as low as we have seen today's American conservatism and Republicans have. 

Thus, we bow need corrections.

Here's a rundown of the institutional reforms that necessary in a post Trump-era of toxic GOP governance and the current SCOTUS (and some conservative judges) have pushed, organized by branch. 

Presidency / executive power

• Codify limits on the pardon power for self-dealing or obstructing investigations into the president's own conduct
• Close the "major questions doctrine" and emergency-powers loopholes that let presidents bypass Congress via executive order
• Strengthen the Impoundment Control Act so a president can't unilaterally withhold appropriated funds
• Clarify and narrow presidential immunity after the Trump v. United States ruling, since critics argue it created near-blanket immunity for "official acts"
• Restore independence of inspectors general and agency heads (FBI, DOJ, intelligence community) with for-cause removal protections that can't be gutted by executive order
• Tighten the Hatch Act and anti-nepotism/emoluments enforcement with real penalties

Congress

• Restore the pre-clearance provisions of the Voting Rights Act gutted by Shelby County v. Holder
• Pass federal redistricting standards to curb partisan gerrymandering
• Reform the filibuster for voting rights and basic governance bills (budget, debt ceiling)
• Tighten conflict-of-interest and stock-trading rules for members of Congress
• Restore and strengthen congressional oversight tools (subpoena enforcement mechanisms with teeth, since agencies currently can just ignore them)
• Campaign finance reform addressing Citizens United, likely via a constitutional amendment given the Court's current posture

Supreme Court / judiciary

• 18-year staggered term limits for justices, ending lifetime tenure
• A binding, enforceable ethics code (the current one has no enforcement mechanism)
• Some form of court expansion or jurisdiction-stripping on specific issues, though this is the most contested item even among reform advocates
• Stricter recusal rules tied to financial disclosures
• Reversing or legislating around specific rulings (Dobbs, Trump v. United States, Chevron's overturn in Loper Bright) through statute where possible

Broader democratic guardrails

• Insulate election administration and certification from partisan interference (building on the Electoral Count Reform Act of 2022)
• Statehood or representation reform for DC and territories
• Independent redistricting commissions as a national standard

I wish us all well going forward once sanity returns and corporate thinking is back under control.

Power to the people, not power to only the powerful few.

Cheers! Sláinte! Na zdravie!
