    I mean he does now have the powers of an absolute monarch.

    As far as I know Saudi Arabia is the only other country with an absolute monarch, so it makes some sense we are allies now.

      Not exactly. He’s only allowed to do illegal things if the SCOTUS is okay with it. He’s a Democrat, so they wouldn’t be.

        Not until he wipes the supreme court and then installs his puppet court. Once that happens the senate won’t even impeech, if they know what’s good for them.

        It’s all jokes, but this is the GOPs plan more or less.

        They might not violently overthrow the court but only because they have silently already done it.

        Next project 2025 will dismantle our elections. When 2028 rolls around, well what do you know, 99% of Americans WANT Don Jr to be kin-- president.

        It’s over. The only thing left is for the DNC and the voting public to hand him the crown. And they do so willingly, because Biden, ~checks notes~, is old?

            When I hear the pundants, even the ones I thought I liked, try to pacify what is happening, I know we are done. Even if they do it for their own sanity, there should be no pacification for injustice at this level.

            “Well, that’s just Trump and he has all the GOP by his side so what can you do?” You should do what ever it takes, what ever power you hold, what ever platform you have it should be used to oppose these tyrants. In that light, it’s already over. No one will actually stand up from here until December and it will all be too late.

              You may very well be right, and that’s extremely frustrating for me, too. Manufactured consent being laid bare.

            The DNC is not a government entity. It’s a private organization that represents the interests of party members and has no legal obligation to serve the public. We can be irritated with the DNC, but we can’t blame them for this.

              The scorpion stings the frog because it’s in it’s nature. You still blame the scorpion.

                A person belonging to one or more Order is just as likely to carry a flag of the counter-establishment as the flag of the establishment-- just as long as it is a flag.
