I’ve always held that Bernie deserved better than his supporters.

The one time he actually needed all that energy and noise and the shitbags turned out with all the enthusiasm of a deadbeat dad being asked to come to parent teacher night.

Millenials and Zoomers turning out at population share at the primary would have made it a landslide for him. They couldn’t even do that much, nevermind the easy dominating overrepresented share they could take with all the boomers catching the MAGA brainrot.

Funniest version of this I’ve heard of is having to pass the citizenship test every time you want to run

It depends, if the soldier should obviously have known better courts are a lot less sympathetic to “but I was ordered to!”

Being ordered to assassinate a political enemy of the president is definitely one of those “you should know better!” examples.

If the order is illegal, they’d be in hotter water if they didn’t.

The meme is basically making fun of the fact that Christianity, as an evangelizing religion, necessarily is not core piece of any culture it interacts with, but a colonial replacement for already existent local traditions.

Europe was majority pagan until several centuries after Christ had come and gone, and that demographic balance was mostly tipped by wiping the alternatives out.

Right now that would restrict eligibility to be president down to between the ages of 35 and 41

I’m no fan of gerontocracy but I’m pretty sure almost nobody who’s served as president would have been eligible under those restrictions.

Depending on the jurisdiction the assassinations are prosecuted under, and I can very well see the Judiciary hard intervening to keep that shit well out of reach of a pardon.

The precedent of sanctioned assassinations of judges might come across to them specifically as a rather especially bad one to set.

I’d say it’d depend on the specifics of the result.

Taking the wind out of MAGA’s sails would take a blowout victory and Hillary wasn’t gonna get that without doing some serious full court pressing for the entire general campaign, like well beyond even the “she should have campaigned more in the rust belt!” ideas people have about where she fell short.

I mean tbf to that last bit “render unto caesar” can certainly be read that way, guy was a radical from a recently conquered territory, I don’t think very many Judeans of his day would have had the best impressions of where their new taxes were being spent.

Too bad they couldn’t get their act together and actually pitch a clear alternative.

Currently still dealing with Nazis organizing into a major political party.

Not even order it, he’d have to do it himself

Anyone who’d hypothetically take the order has an obligation to refuse it, all he’s doing there is passing the prosecution that he wasn’t going to be in for anyways.

Personally I think it should be a definition instead of a straight number

Something like the current LD50 of old age or something.

Not really, I’m pretty sure laws about the courts are necessarily part of the exemption clause, because why should the people a rule is being written to correct the behavior of get to just say no to the new rule?

I was talking since Jefferies would likely be Speaker in the scenario where Biden won the election but then died of old age.

President Harris and Vice President Jefferies

Anything else means instant constitutional crisis, but at the same time, we’ll be able hear the explosions from space as right winger minds absorb that circumstance has brought about the first female president and also the first PoC President Vice President team.

If Kamala was good at trolling she’d not nominate any white people to the cabinet so we can all enjoy fox pundits trying to find the magic combination of words that let them be mad about an all PoC cabinet without it being racist, but I’m pretty sure she’s at least going to keep Buttigieg on as Transit Czar since he’s been going at least hard enough to get HSR moving finally between LA and Vegas.

Nominate the six judges to lower court positions

The constitution only says that being a federal judge is permanent, not necessarily being a justice.

I think this would absolutely be the play to burn the bridges with the obstruction caucus among the senate dems, just hit them with the full weight of that bully pulpit devil may care.

These judges have gone rogue and it is absolutely worth making Joe Manchin mad to remind the courts they’re servants of the people.
