Getting to the point where someone might need to invade and liberate the United States.

Come on, guys! We’ve got oil and everything!

People advocating for Biden to go on a crime spree are assuming that the Supreme Court is aiming to be consistent, and apply this ruling fairly to both parties.

The SCOTUS doesn’t have a DOJ or an FBI to arrest and prosecute anyone with. That’s the big catch in all this arguing.

If Biden seriously wanted to be a sassy bitch, he’d have Trump extraordinarily renditioned to a prison in Iraq and tried for bombing the Iraqi airfield that hosted the Iranian ambassadors.

The SCOTUS gets to pound sand, Americans can heal a gapping foreign policy wound between the US and Iran, and Trump gets a taste of living as an illegal.

But he’s not going to do that. He’s not going to impound Trump’s assets or freeze his accounts. He’s not going to treat Trump in any way like an asset of an enemy power.

Because he’s terrified of violating the Norms that dictate presidents can, in fact, do whatever the hell they want.

Just make sure that, in taking to the streets, nobody mistakes you for a Hamas or an Antifa

I can’t count the number of times I’ve heard people insist that Biden’s DOJ is doing a great job, but also that all these Republican leaders are committing crimes with impunity.

you must vote for Joe Biden

The problem with the Handmaid’s Tale was that people just didn’t vote hard enough.

But I would rather have Biden as dictator than Trump.

Funny thing about autocrats. They don’t normally let you pick.

There’s a very good change the SCOTUS installs Trump the same way they installed Bush. And Biden will just roll over for it

Washington was surrounded by Trump-like figures during his Presidency and profited handsomely from their patronage. His administration only put you in the ground if you were a Pennsylvania wheat farmer trying to dodge a huge new tax on your most efficient method of commodity preservation.

But they wont. Joe and his handlers will keep doing nothing

Oh, you think Joe hasn’t done anything?

insert 2-pt font graphic of the 80,000 administrative court decisions passed under Biden that the SCOTUS just shredded via Chevron Deference case

(Also it would be so fucking funny if Trump just died of natural causes before the election/ inauguration, the MAGATS would actually implode from conspiracy theories)

If the polls bare out, Biden is going to lose states where Senate and House Dems win with wide margins. That, alone, is going to send the QAnon folks into a frothing lather and trigger a cascade of Trump Admin Constitutional Crises, as people argue that the election was rigged to favor the Deep State.

Republicans know they’ve got the police and significant chunks of the military on their side. So they’re just going to do whatever the fuck they want at the state and local levels. Trump can do whatever he damned pleases at the Federal level, knowing the Dem Congress will just whine and pound sand. And the MAGAts are going to scream about how anything the GOP can’t get done fast enough is being sabotaged by secret evil leftist sabatores, invoking wave after wave of new University pogroms and bureaucratic purges and police raids of liberal social clubs.

Wow, the SCOTUS has really overstepped its bounds. I wonder what the legislative and executive branch’s responses are going to be?

assuming you don’t think the American rescue plan, bipartisan infrastructure act, CHIPS, IRA, and the first massive tranche of funding for Ukraine are useful

No more than the CARES Act or the PROSWIFT Act or the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 or the Hong Kong Autonomy and Uyghur Human Rights Policy Acts, under the prior administration. We’ve never had a problem issuing large bipartisan bailouts in the thick of a recession, rolling out buckets of cash for proxy wars, or pissing away trillions on expanding legacy highway infrastructure. This is not something unique that Biden brought to the table.

Hell, Trump was even sending military aid to Ukraine as early as 2019. One could argue it was this military escalation and subsequent bombing of the Donbas that kicked off the war with Russia to begin with. Thanks for that!

Unfortunately they didn’t codify Roe, overhaul SCOTUS, or harden our institutions against fascism

Because they’re a party heavily populated with Pro-Life Democrats, they genuinely like the business-friendly / anti-regulatory bent to the SCOTUS, and they are more than happy to break bread with fascists just so long as the fascists can be used as proxies against enemies of US business interests at home and abroad.

This isn’t a fucking accident. It is deliberate bipartisan consensus.

Who knows what they could do with a larger majority and control of the House/Senate for 2 more years though

Exactly what they did in 2009. Send trillions of new dollars to the privatized tech sector. Roll out new privatization schemes for the USPS and US Education System. Bailout failed banks. Increase the size and the authority of police agencies. And impose a host of new unfunded mandates on consumers - via tariffs, anti-union tax increases on health insurance, and private lending schemes - that only serve to degrade quality of life in pursuit of higher corporate profits.

FFS, the lowest hanging fruit imaginable for the Democratic Party is DC Statehood. Easiest win imaginable to just hand yourself two free Senators and 3-4 new House Reps. And they won’t do it.

Where do you think Americans learn about non-European countries in World History? History started with the founding of England and ended with WW2. I think we dropped a nuclear bomb on some East Asian country where all the anime comes from. But other than that, who gives a shit about Asia?

Um… its called checks and balances, sweetie.

The King selects the priests and the High Priest coronates the wealthiest member of the royal court to be the next king. We live in the fairest, freest, and most godly country in the world, because we adhere to the ancient edicts of our Holy Forefathers. And if you don’t like that, you’ve probably been brainwashed by the unholy barbaric savages from across the ocean.

Their Authoritarian Surveillance State

Our Robust National Security System

Posting how much I hate authoritarian surveillance states on all my favorite NSA-infested social media accounts.

Nobody puts shoulder pads like that on dresses anymore

I was going to say, because I don’t have the stomach of a half starved gym rat. But yours is also good.

The moment a politician talks about raising taxes, that’s it, they lose votes.

That’s never actually been true. School bonds tied to tax increases pass all the time

Can’t understand why he’s not more popular with a track record like that.

Maybe he’s just running in the wrong party.
