It's a Kabuki show. The Supreme Court's corrupt majority set it up so that there's no effective way to bring Pig Boy to heel, and now they'll wring their hands and pretend they tried.
Yeap. That was the plan. JD Vance is on camera well before the election saying Trump should have his Andrew Jackson moment and tell them to go ahead and try to enforce their ruling. They want absolute power.
I'd post the clip if I could, it says too large. 😴
Edit: here is a link to the clip. Idk where to upload it for a longer period. It'll expire 2 days from when I post this. Full vid = "Dark Gothic MAGA" by Blonde Politics
This is literally the moment where a dictator rises. This is THE make it or break it moment. If the Supreme Court does not appoint marshals to enforce its ruling - if it does not enforce it is a co-equal branch, as mandated by the Constitution,
then the Executive is free to do what it wants with no consequences. The Executive is immune even to Supreme Court rulings.
Even if you somehow believe that the 2026 and 2028 elections will still matter by then (IF WE MAKE IT THERE, VOTE ANYWAY MOFO), just imagine the damage a president that is no longer equal to the Supreme Court & Congress can do. The Constitution is quite literally broken at that point - if you can make the argument that the previous executive immunity ruling didn't break it in the first place.
Anyone got betting odds on the SC actually trying to enforce the ruling?... just trying some humor cause... boys, gals, otherwise.... no matter what ultimately happens as the outcome to all this, all roads are dark from here.
SCOTUS won't do this but all they really have to do is say something like, "If you put this weasel in cuffs, bring us the case and we'll absolutely rule in your favor."
Anyone “stunned” should probably not be deemed an “expert.”
This expert hasn't been paying attention if that headline is a true reflection of their views (I suspect it's just exaggerated for effect, though). The Trump Administration has been consistently pushing the limits with ignoring/disobeying the courts to see what they can get away with.
And now they are gonna get away with this, too.
Stunned? Have they not been paying attention? The scotus themselves ruled the fanta menace can do WTF he wants with no consequence.
And it’s supremely frustrating the Biden didn’t use that new power to save democracy. It would have also shown how the power could backfire to the other side too, and killed 2 birds with one executive order.
I assume you didn't read the article. There's no one stunned in there; it's just a crappy headline some editor added.
Donald Trump did not become President (Twice!) by listening to experts.
This is about the added clip, and not OP, just saying that up front:
Why are all these right-wing assholes intentionally growing disgusting beards to make themselves less palatable to the opposite sex, and then complaining about nobody wanting to date them for the politics or appearance? That's like...a large part of the entire thing, assholes??
You're unappealing to the people you want to fuck, so you complain about it to your uncle groups on YouTube???
Maybe you would have better luck acting with rationale and not being fucking gross. The people you want to date might be into that version of you, moron.
Wait, beards are right wing now? WTF? I thought beards were the sign of soy hipster feminist men, what happened? I was much more comfortable being labeled a bearded soy hipster than I am with a right wing loon label. Being of middle eastern origin, the hipster label is the only 'acceptable' way for me to keep the beard. The distance from a label of conservative right winger to being deemed an islamist terrorist is not very far. Fuck.
The correlation is that a lot of these angry, loud, and annoying right-wing YouTubers have these gross beards. Not that beards are right-wing.
Not sure how you got that...
Ok, thanks for clarifying. So neck beards basically? That's a different type of "beard" altogether, they've always been more reactionary than anything else:-) feel better about my beard now, got a little worried for real.
There's a lot more things unappealing about the MAGAts than their choice of facial hair.
I had a long reddish beard for a while, I got more action then than I did when I was clean-shaven. Not all potential partners find beards attractive, but some like them.
Maybe you would have better luck acting with rationale and not being fucking gross.
Maybe you should quit pretending your narrow-minded opinions are shared by everyone else in the world. I despise fascists for their fascism, not for their sartorial choices.
