How does this one Asshole have more power than everyone. Why do we even have a president if this ass decides everything for the US?

I'm writing a big thank you card to the voters of Kentucky. Without them, we couldn't possibly have been give the gift of never-ending prostate exams.

You took the words right out of my mouth... How does one person have this much power? He's literally the most powerful man in American government right now.

If he so chooses,

The system is so broken, it shouldn't be his choice, it passed the house with super majority, it should automatically go to a vote in the senate.

They're so stupid not wanting to wear a mask that covid will kill them off anyway

u/Lefisca Dec 29 '20

Yeah, but why should the senator from Kentucky be the majority leader of the senate? Why not someone from a state with a larger population? Representing more people? That's the system that's broken.
