"Oh, shit, so you mean Biden could have just cancelled all that student debt anyway?"

"Well of course not, don't be stupid!"

This is the step where the cart goes over the top of the hill, you're not coming back if this starts.

Hard to hear, but if goes forward, this does signal that it's breaking windows time. We all have a Luigi line, start really considering where yours is...

Especially if you're young, and they are doing this before you have been able to establish your own career or a family of your own, the rest of the world needs your strength and energy in these moments. Make no mistake, they are threatening you directly, they want to sell your future for a small profit added to the pile they are hoarding. Decide how hard you want to fight against that

So, those 2A people being real fuckin quiet now that an actual tyrant is in play.

Time to use those guns you've been hoarding. Wasn't that the reason you're even allowed to have them?

Fuck these bastards

That fucking Lizard Peter Thiel fucking rebooted when asked about the popular support for Luigi. The mother fucker had not thought about what happens when we the people get tired of their shit and unite against them. They've spent so much time and money dividing us so they can take it all it never occurred that it might backfire.

Is it time to petition the military to intervene?

Once again, to no-one's surprise. Trump loudly claimed he would do this long ago

Choose a felon as President, expect him to commit crimes... enjoy

"Well, when the president does it, that means that it is not illegal"

-- Richard Nixon, 1977.

You've had 47 years to do something about this, to be able to hold your leaders accountable, and apparently it wasn't worth the effort.

I guess the upside is you won't have to worry about all that wasteful election spending any more. 👍

lol here it comes.

Groundwork for a coup by the sounds of it. When the next election is supposed to happen I wonder if he'll declare martial law due to some invented issue.

Dictator

So much for law and order I guess.

These are unamerican people.

The gears grind slower each rotation, yet we're still surprised when the machine jams. Constitutional guardrails only work if the drivers pretend they exist—a quaint fiction evaporating under the heat of performative strongman politics. We've seen this before: executive overreach dressed as "emergency," norms crumbling like stale bread.

What's novel is the brazenness. Courts are now just another PR obstacle, their rulings reduced to content for the outrage algorithm. Linz warned of dueling mandates, not this farce where one branch swallows the rest whole. The Founders' checks? Dry rot under the floorboards, termites long since victorious.

Democracy cosplay can't hide the scaffolding. When the executive branch treats the judiciary as a nuisance, the only remaining question is how many will still clap as the curtain falls.

So like, when will other countries start letting us evacuate to them?

Dear Americans, where are your protests?

And unless someone enforces the rules and consequences for breaking them for the first time in his miserable fucking life, he will be correct.

RIP US constitution.

You were a good constitution and worked as a framework for democracies around the world.

This isn't the failure of the Republican party. This is their victory dance.

The Trump administration is not refusing to share power with an opposing party. It is refusing to follow the constitutional limits of a government that its own party controls completely.
