Trifecta has nothing to do with the Supreme Court and it doesn’t matter the size of the majority (50(+1)-50 is still a majority) just that you have one in both houses.

Biden’s first two years were a trifecta. Why you lying?

142·3 days ago… yes, how could they not see that a party that has fervently supported a genocide to the point where it lost them a national election to an idiot con artist decides only now to withhold said support when doing so is largely performative. Truly, the best political party in the world. /s
This is a good thing, yes, but the democrats have to be dragged, kicking and screaming, to do anything that won’t immediately enrich themselves. That includes rubber stamping any AIPAC supported legislation.

Hobbits have an easier time resisting the pull, because their ambitions don’t pair well with the ring’s temptations. I suspect that Sméagol already had simmering beef with Déagol (cause, ya know, family), so it didn’t take much for the ring to push him over the edge.
But also the circumstances of how you claim the ring come into play with how deep it can dig into you. Déagol found it by following a shiny, and seeing how jealous it made Sméagol made it more valuable. Sméagol murdered his cousin for it. Bilbo came upon it by chance in the pitch black caves. He even struggles with the temptation by touching it in his pocket from then on.Frodo inherited it, knowing it to be Bilbo’s prank ring. Lastly, Sam took up the ring to save Frodo
Bilbo also gave it up willingly, though he did need to be convinced. Sam knew what the ring would be about and was able to steel himself against it. Plus its attempt to seduce was almost laughably bad, but he earnestly just really fucking loved gardening (tempted him with being a hero and claiming the land as his vast, beautiful garden. Sam thought it would be too stressful and would get between him and his gardening)
The Alternian Trolls from Homestuck prepared me for this reality

Don’t dislike. Engagement promotes the video. Comments, likes, subs, shares, and dislikes all tell the algorithm to promote the video.
Nope. People fit into the boxes cause we made the boxes. Wanting to be in a different box is a valid response to the boxes. But we should work to dismantle the boxes so people can choose for themselves. Attacking those who want to switch boxes won’t remove the boxes.









I mean, your definition does make internal sense, but that’s not a government trifecta. You can start defining things whatever you want, but please don’t get mad at others when they don’t agree with your own made up definitions.
ACA was basically a Republican policy (its literally modeled after Romneycare) and was lobbied for by Insurance companies, so of course it got passed.
And, no, I’m not spreading “republican propaganda”. Both the democrats and republicans are incapable of governing because they’re uninterested in governing. But the democrats, unlike the republicans, can be reformed away from this. Lying about when they last held power won’t help reform them out of this situation. They constantly have the ball and then do nothing because their donors want nothing to get done.
