Wow, I stand corrected. When this first happened, I said nobody domestic could actually be stupid enough to break multiple federal and state laws doing this, but here we are.

I guess you must have been in a coma since 2015.

It's 2024 and not only is Trump still not in prison after dozens of crimes, including national security breaches that would put any non-elite person behind bars for life, but he's allowed to just fucking run for president again...

I wonder how much longer it'll take for the people to realize the courts are irreversibly captured, and the existing system too corrupt and compromised to prevent a fascist takeover. I expect that time will come only after the fascist takeover. Either way, this slow death is pathetic to watch.

If Obama had led an insurrection, it’d have been war in the streets and they’d have swept him away to some military black site, never to be seen again.

USA ✊

Low effort troll attempt failure.

Not even trolling. Can you imagine what would have happened if the first black president had tried to cling to power on his way out?

USA: Not okay.

i apologize, I misread your comment. Thought you were saying you’d have been in the streets.

Before SHAKEN/STIR was implemented, they probably would have gotten away with it. Hell, they probably did get away with it.
