Michigan Sen.-elect Abdul El-Sayed said Sunday that Democrats will work with Donald Trump to help the American people if “he wants to act serious,” but if the president instead chooses “foolishness,” the incoming senator said he will not find a willing partner in Congress.
“Let’s talk about how he is an unserious fool. Think about this war in Iran that every single president had resisted fighting because, of course, it was a dumb idea,” El-Sayed told ABC “This Week” in an exclusive interview. “Let’s talk about the foolishness of a tariff war with Canada. … Let’s talk about the foolishness of gutting Medicaid to pass tax cuts for the richest people in America.”
“So look, if he wants to act serious, we are happy to work alongside him to actually address these issues,” El-Sayed continued. “He is the president of the United States. But if he wants to continue to fool, he will hire people like Stephen Miller to run the White House, and he gets to choose where he goes next.”
Get him and Mamdani to tag team him. Like politically not the other way you perverts 😂 Unless that also works. He’s been an an ass kick recently.
I do find it funny that the actual Muslim politicians could actually handle him better than anyone else. That would truly be irony.
no, both those ways.
like this sickosGet him and Mamdani to tag team him
When Ao3 comes back online, we could make that happen…
“act serious”
I gotta pick this nit. It should be “act seriously”.
Abdul knows that, he’s speaking to the everyman
‘Act serious’ is grammatically correct as a dependant clause in a full sentence. “Seriously” would change the meaning slightly and also be grammatically correct.
Please stop trying to work with people who want to kill you.
Since we all know Trump is never, ever, ever going to act serious, not even for a moment, I feel like Abdul el-Sayed saying “Democrats will work with Trump if ‘he wants to act serious’” is pretty much the same as Abdul el-Sayed saying “Democrats will not work with Trump.”
Politics makes for strange bedfellows at times. And honestly IF all those newly elected liberals want to actually accomplish anything, they do need to manipulate Trump into to signing laws. Otherwise he just vetos everything.
The Democrats do not control enough votes to consistently override and ignore a veto.
The democrat senate leader said several times in several different ways that his first and most important mission is to help Israel.
The democrats are controlled opposition and they are going to have a reckoning now that real life Americans are getting into power.
Keep giving these corporate Israeli dogs excuses at your own peril.
Lol
Trump is absolutely controllable. That’s how we got into all of this. He’s just a puppet who loves the attention. He also loves a strongman who doesn’t take his shit ie Mamdani. This is how you play him.
I understood trump has a fetish for a hairy men. Frankly I don’t blame him, I do too.
what? i’m not sharing fetishes with krasnov.
i thought he had a fetish for bob hope’s dangle and jon husted’s pucker
I too might work with the president if he was a fundamentally different person than he is. Fair enough I guess?
Nothing says “serious” more than appointing cunt Miller as chief of staff and trying to appoint UFC cunt as a press secretary.
I understand the “optics” but they should really just ignore orange cunt.
Unfortunately, we cannot ignore the president, as much as I’d love to. The man has so much power because of his office that ignoring him is unfeasible; he must be directly opposed.
Abdul El-Sayed is not saying that he would compromise with fascists; he is saying that he will directly oppose the current MAGA plan. He is also calling the president a fucking moron in a politically correct manner.
A dementia patient is very unpredictable. Throw enough bills at him and he may inadvertently sign one. Doesn’t hurt to try. I doubt they actually expect anything out of it. If anything, it just shows how they are the adults in the room.
State of the Union next year could be glorious!
I honestly wonder if Trump will even make it to his next SotU, depending on how far the new Congress gets with stomping on all his priorities, as well as putting him and his family under empowered committee microscopes with no majority to block, prevent, or soften any of it.
The thing about narcissists is that very little damages them personally, but whatever does tends to be really crippling, and the blowback from a pissed off nation is just getting started.
Sir, you are out of order, the people get no say…
I am totally fine with them saying “We’ll fund your stupid ballroom if you let us eliminate the cap on social security” or something similar.
I’d also be totally fine with a future president going back on that and knocking down the stupid ballroom. Or turning the Donald J. Trump Ballroom into the Bernie Sanders Cubicle Farm. I don’t think even MAGA would care all that much if they did that.
Naaah. We get everything, they get nothing. No quarter. That’s how it has to work. We got where we are by negotiating with these terrorists.
It’s scorched and salted earth time.
And in other fantasies: Damn I sure wish unicorns were real
When it becomes reality, shit changes. Let me know when you’re ready.
This is the way. Stroke Trump’s ego as a reward if he does things we want. Who cares if we call universal healthcare Trumpcare for a couple of years.
I don’t think that’ll even happen, but it’d be kinda hilarious if it did.
We can probably get a couple more things in too. Call it the, ‘Trump is the best, and Republicans have always been right on every issue Act’.
This Guy is getting a White House showcase for Trumpcare any minute now.
Stroke a frucks ego to get real social change, has anyone read about Lyndon B. Johnsons’ civil rights act?

They’ll be slandering this guy within a few years, maybe sooner.
