We need to have an adult conversation about the president having dementia. This is not about sides. He's no longer even arguably rational.

Where's the case on him not being allowed to do that anymore? I remember there being at least one lawsuit over all of this foolishness.

Supreme court. We could get the decision any time.

The supreme court is under a DoS made of a spike of illegal decisions and is giving the appearance that there's no law to be followed. What an awful failure mode no one reasonable was capable of anticipating. Same with gun laws, now the tyrants have big enough guns that your personal 9mm can't deter tyranny

The fetishization of individualism is the problem here.

The guys who wrote that were fresh off a revolution where they had used privately-held arms to drive off a system of government. They didn't do that alone. They had committees on security and correspondence that would coordinate how arms were used. They were militias, not necessarily state-backed ones, either.

What you see now is a lot of people who are almost as well-armed, personally, as the tyrants, but not as well-organized.

Yeah, the Supreme Court and their completely lack of oversight or ethics guidelines will get right on that. I'm sure the 6-3 majority is itching to control the man they gave absolute immunity too, right alongisde their oligarch sponsors and Republican legislators.

It'll be another 3 weeks or so I think. Arcane supreme court release schedule.
