A Republic, If You Can Keep It

It’s ok. Nothing bad has ever happened as a result of forced resettlement of, or the drawing new lines of demarcation around, local populations.

Signed, the British Empire.

It takes something special to be such a dick that you stand out against this crowd, but Tillis has managed to do so.

One of those J6ers pardoned by Trump has been shot and killed by police during a traffic stop. At least two others have been arrested on child pornography charges.

There’s meeting the moment, and then there’s the opposite of that:

Well this is at least one case where you would have been better off in jail.

They used their get out of jail free card, rolled doubles, and landed right on those hotels on the orange spaces.

Trump’s unconstitutional block of federal funding is leaving MediCare providers swinging in the wind, concerned if they can make payroll and keep going.

This is hitting the retirement states of AZ and FL the hardest/quickest but, unless Congress does something to release the block, it’s a burgeoning medical disaster everywhere.

[Narrator: Congress did fuck all]

Did they really have to bring the tuba in to this conversation?? It’s a great instrument.

Those who voted for this get to enjoy it, namely those in Arizona and Florida.

Thoughts and prayers.

To wit: Chairman of the House Appropriations Committee doesn’t think that the spending bills passed by the House are “law”. He also says he’s not a lawyer. He then rolled around in his own shit for a bit.

I mean, they could have gone even sillier and said sousaphone.

Just to correct the media here: Trump is not offering to buyout half the federal workforce. He is saying that he is going to fire half the federal workforce but, if any individual worker agrees to resign, they will be allowed to stay in their job until September.

He’s doing this to get around some regulation or union rule; not because he’s being nice or lawful.

Euphonium.

Come on. He is avoiding due process.

It’s not like the very first fucking line of the U.S. Constitution is “All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States” or anything. Why on earth would Congress think they have any legislative authority.

Why would Trump even consider not doing anything he wants to do?

He can’t be held criminally liable for anything he does as the President.

He can order an elementary school nuked on a Wednesday afternoon and say he had reason to believe it was in the best interest of the country and there are no repercussions.

No matter what he does, this Congress will not vote to impeach him.

Due process or no due process, he can do whatever he wants and all the American people can do is whine about it.

Of course via legal challenges, workers and unions can delay things, but I don’t see any world where Trump doesn’t get anything he wants, eventually, if he wants it bad enough.

This is what the voting public wanted. They just were too stupid to know what it really meant.

Spot on. Trump is an absolute monarch. No laws, nor the Constitution, applies to him and his actions.
