A Republic, If You Can Keep It

President Musk is the least self-aware thing able to make noises with its mouth ever to exist on planet earth.

JimR:

The judge will hold someone in contempt, and US Marshal Service is the courts’ law enforcement agency. A Marshal would enforce the contempt order if jail is the punishment. The Marshals are within
the DOJ and receive direction from the AG. All roads lead to Der Fuhrer, and the argument one of his sycophants stated is a judge cannot restrict the executive’s use of legitimate power. He is bypassing Congress, refusing to follow legislative direction on use of funds, and ignoring court orders. What separation of powers? What checks and balances? What co-equal branches of government? We have a King, and the King can do no wrong.

Hard to believe we are only a couple of weeks into the Thousand Year Reich. Harder still to believe a large % of Americans approve of this unchecked exercise of power dismantling the federal government.

The ABA’s call to action really highlights how deep we are into a constitutional crisis. This is not an organization that takes strident or controversial positions.

The fact that " The ABA supports the rule of law" is a strident or controversial position is a sign of how far down the rabbit hole we already are.

Google maps now officially shows the “Gulf of America”.

Please, sir, may I have another?

Limey · February 11, 2025, 7:58pm

Not only does this change the word “Mexico” to “America”, it changes the meaning of “Gulf” to the other meaning of “gulf”.

That’ll get grocery store prices tumbling:

The insecurity of the average conservative male knows no bounds.

It’s now the Gulf of TexMex to me

NeilT · February 11, 2025, 11:58pm

I just changed the name of Texas to Tejas. Most of you are Tejanos now.

We are living in an SNL sketch.

I googled him to make sure it wasn’t satire.

It is not satire.

You’re probably still calling it Constantinople.

My biggest surprise is that it wasn’t Marjorie Greene when I saw it came from the Georgia delegation.

Lefty · February 12, 2025, 3:09am

The goddamn Ottomans got nothin to do with it!

MusicMan · February 12, 2025, 3:12am

It’s nobody’s business but the Turks.

WVASTRO · February 12, 2025, 3:22am

I refuse to believe this is real.

I seem to have found my breaking point.

I am less mentally well than I was before seeing that.

Look, you need to snap out of it. It’s still early in the game and you’re already recoiling at the stupid horrors being fire hosed onto us. It’s been 3 weeks. Man up. There’s plenty more horrors to come.

Lefty · February 12, 2025, 4:58am

Well thank you for that uplifting message Col. Kurtz

WVASTRO · February 12, 2025, 5:37am

I’m not sure what to make of this…
