After a failed auto-coup, Yoon's supporters are standing off against the cops chanting, "stop the steal!"

As did Bolsonaro supporters in '22.

I've yet to see any Dem or liberal pundit hang this new normal in democracies across the world on Trump and his enablers in congress and on SCOTUS.

Right Wing Reactionaries hanging on to the COVID tumult. Hopefully the fear its feeding on will subside before it can entrench itself. Still a ways to go with mitigating the harms.

That is if we dodge a bullet with avian flu

I'm hoping that the tendency of bird flu to be less successful migrating in human populations than bat flu will help us because RWR's surely won't. Hell they probably will welcome the disorder given they can create disinformation from chaos far more easily than from stability.

I used that trying to get out of a speeding ticket the other day -- the Trump rule!.
The cop said he'd forgive the 20 mph over the speed limit citing John Roberts, but gave me a ticket for being a dog driving without a license. I think I'll contest it.

Voting for Jill Stein in 2016 got you here. Just like Putin hoped it would.

Are we making SCOTUS the World Supreme Court now because hard pass on that.

Sounds familiar. South Korea seems more committed to democracy than the US. Sad reality.

Has Trump come out in favor of Yoon yet? Assuming he knows anything about it, if questioned on the situation I'm guessing he'd take the bait and give Yoon some support. I don't suppose there is any chance of anyone asking.

If for every action there’s an equal and opposite reaction, what would an equal and opposite reaction to this global crisis look like?

This is what happens when accountability is abandoned in the name of…whatever it was the Administration thought it was doing.

Another piece of cancer we exported.

“I’m immune, just look at what John Roberts said”

He doesn’t even go here
