The modern far-right really got it’s first big taste of legitimacy with the Tea Party
Thanks a bunch Koch brother (still quite happy at least one of them is dead.)
That is entirely an astroturfed “caucus” along with the freedumb caucus… Bought and paid for by the ownership class. Ever wonder why those assholes never go away no matter how horrible they are? They’re the Koch’s henchmen…
It’s also vague enough that charges can get bounced around lower courts indefinitely.
Yup! It will be the 5th circuit almost certainly. It’s the Republican rubber stamp circuit…
But Biden himself came out and spoke about the ruling (paraphrasing) “we need presidents to use their power with caution and respect the (self imposed) limitations of it. I’ll continue to do just that. The next guy might not do so and that’s concerning.”
Just a big ol’ shrug from Biden… “I won’t do it, but he sure as hell will.”
Thanks Mr.Virtue… where is all that virtue when it comes to Palestinians?
I honestly have no idea what the logic is supposed to be here?
Are we supposed to be so virtuous that we allow Republicans to kill all of us just so we die with the Palestinians that no matter who we elect will die!? It makes absolutely no sense.
We can talk in 2028 when we actually have a say again in who is running, but as it stands now we’re stuck with who is up there now.
True, but they are also the ones who decide what they can and cannot do without recourse from anyone else (because we need 2/3 of Congress to impeach which is a non-starter.) so they can rule one way and then rule another for whatever reason they want.
Our “justices” (/vomit…) don’t have to have any qualifications, we just pay lip service to norms so we (read: the federalist society) choose vaguely “acceptable” people to be justices, but you or I could be one too which really means that they have almost nothing to do with the actual law. We’re a fucking joke.
They’re talking about a supermajority where Republicans can’t stop them. Every other time we’ve been stopped by Republicans or Democrats working as Republicans (Manchin and Sinema) 2020-2022 we had a razor thin margin that Manchin and Sinema shat all over.
“Nothin’ we can do! There’s not a single law on the books that makes conspiring to overthrow the federal government illegal.”
Funny thing is as soon as you or I plan that and they smell any hint of socialism/leftism in our language suddenly they’ll have 35287253381 laws that they’ll throw all of at us for a combined prison sentence that’s longer than the eventual heat death of the universe.
But without neoliberalism, who will protect us from
the Far-Left Authoritarian Tankies?being able to live happily on a single income!!
Nobody in this administration actually wanted to prosecute Trump
“Tonight on Hannity: Biden LITERALLY kicked down the door at the DOJ and held a gun to their heads FORCING them to attack poor poor sad innocent Donald Saint Trump for made up crimes!”
Reality doesn’t matter anymore
Biden already said as much with his response to the ruling.
Paraphrasing: “We must respect the (self imposed) limits to the presidency and I will do so. We can’t exactly trust the next guy to do so and that’s dangerous.” (Proceeds to wag finger as if that will do fuck-all)
That’s not totally true, it’s just who the ownership class wants. They’re the only real people anyway, we’re all just labor.
Old people primary voting: See if you can stop me choosing the next old man from your house! Ha!
He can’t because it was tossed to the lower court to be put on ice until the election decides how they should rule.
Think about it this way: leftist politics = I don’t get to be a billionaire and I have to care about other people.
Now think about everyone you know and how they might think. Then try to imagine the type of egotistical asshole that runs for any type of office.
It’s a goddamn miracle that anyone runs on the left. Most people just suck as they’re supremely selfish/self centered.
Just kidding!
It’s actually propaganda. Tons and tons of propaganda.
The company I work for doesn’t advertise, we live and die by our reputation.
Also: ship it, let the customer complain if they find it.
…ffs
“I can grab any piece of shit off the street and replace you in 20 seconds.” Is what most of them think when it comes to meat machine labor like myself. :(
Love our land, loath our society.
The natural beauty of America is amazing, but the people seem to be mostly absolute shit.
Oh fuck off. I have no real options here. I vote against the establishment asshole every primary I get.
