He’s just not willing to do it because he is a liberal and doesn’t want to use his power to crush the Republicans like they need to be.
Liberals love to maintain the status quo with small, incremental changes.

“Bail reform a disaster, the National Guard in the subway, toothpaste locked up in drugstores but criminals running free.
Umm doesn’t the State have a bigger hand in that instead of the Federal government?
I thought, it was only “woke” companies went broke. Are we now saying “Go fash, no cash”?
For $10k, I will make vague sexual innuendos.
Free market for me, not for thee.
Golden charity opportunity. Show up to a rally with a sign that says “$50 for flags to burn”. Take the money and donate to to worthy causes like the Trevor Project and other LGBT support organizations.
When there are enough corporations to fit a boardroom table. Competition doesn’t exist.
It’s well within reason to think that many of Executives all attend the same events, have overlapping social circles, and moved around positions between the corporations.
All it takes is one company to get away with higher prices for the other companies follow suit.
Every accusation is a confession.
The confession for this accusation is that the Court system is stacked with Conservative judges to push a Conservative agenda.
Cause the entire stock market is based on feels.
I’m pretty sure the Volanco God is going to be upset with us for using such a poor, excuse of a a sacrifice.
However, now that Trump was elected president, the establishment is trying to publicly align itself with Trump while marginalizing those who truly support Trump’s agenda. One can see this in the fact that President Trump appointed many liberals and globalists – such as Gary Cohn, H.R. McMaster, and Jared Kushner
That’s right, Trump’s own son in law is not MAGA enough.
I mean who hasn’t flushed baby alligators down the toilet.
It is on course for conservatives. It’s all about their freedom of speech not anyone else’s freedom of speech.
Senate conservatives led by Lee, the chair of the Republican Steering Committee, accused Democrats of “nuking” more than 200 years of Senate precedent by declining to hold a trial and vowed to retaliate by slowing business to a crawl on the floor.
That’s fucking rich. Complaining about dismissing tradition and precedent from the party that routinely shows that they don’t care about anything.
Medical mask and walk up. No facial recognization and no licence plate.
Every time I think about that, I say to myself “Yup. That’s the US President there.”
From U-God in their book “Raw: My Journey into the Wu-Tang”
The realism on “C.R.E.A.M.” is what resonates with so many people all over the world. People everywhere know that sentiment of being slaves to the dollar. Cash is king, and we are its lowly subjects. That’s pretty much the case in every nation around the world, the desperation to put your life and your freedom on the line to make a couple dollars. Whether you’re working, stripping, hustling, or slinging, whether you’re a business owner or homeless, cash rules everything around us.
From Raekon in the article Raekwon Breaks Down His 25 Most Essential Songs
C.R.E.A.M.’ did a lot for my career personally. It gave me an opportunity to revisit the times where that cream meant that much to us. So, yeah, when I think of this record it just automatically puts me back into ‘87/’88 where we were standing in front of the building. It’s cold outside. We didn’t care. We’re out there, all black on trying to make dollars. Just trying to make some money and trying to eat. Survive.
All of Wu-Tang has been credited for writing C.R.E.A.M.
As for Method Man’s hook, the hook is the key part of the song. The hook is theme of the song, which is money = power. Without the hook, it’s a personal story about Raekwon and Inspectah Deck’s youth, living in the rough part of the city, and their dreams. Method Man’s hook frames those stories as people trying to escape poverty through acquiring money as money = power. Hence why Method Man raps “cash rules everything around me”. This completely frames Raekwon and Inspectah Deck verses as story about chasing money through any money. As Inspectah Deck raps:
Neglected for now, but yo, it gots to be accepted. That what? That life is hectic
It’s an acknowledgment that money is the only that that matters. When it comes to humanitarian rights, unless you have money. Those in power don’t care. Israel has a powerful lobby that uses money to influence American politics. Israel isn’t shaping American policy through gifts, connections, or logical arguments. The influence is coming straight from money. As Method Man eloquently puts it “cash rules everything around me”. If American politicians actually cared about the plight they would be tell the Israel lobby to go fuck themselves and not take their money. It is the pursuit of the American politician getting money that is causing problems in Palestine.
Palestinians don’t have money to influence anything in American politics. It’s taking direct action for Palestinians to get support.
When Inspectah Deck raps in the hook:
Because you can’t just get by no more, Word up, you gotta get over, straight up and down
Wu-Tangs song C.R.E.A.M. sums this up.
Method Man is not glorifying money and excess; rather, he’s saying that money holds power, and is a factor of major decisions made in the world he lives in. Those who have it, have power and those who don’t, won’t get up anywhere; sort of a way of saying the “love of money is the root of all evil” phrase from 1 Timothy 6:10 in the Bible, if you will.
It is better to die for the Emperor than to live for yourself.
FTFY.
