A shame, in a situation like this, that one party is evil and the other is useless.

these bastards are doing nothing to push back bc their mouths are watering, knowing that they are going to be inheriting precedent to be just as corrupt without any real public outrage or pushback.
Dems or GOP all want the same thing ultimate power and money.
Democrats have failed us. The worst thing is we'll never be able to fight this without leadership actual.
WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH EVERYBODY?
Booker filibustered for a whole day ostensibly to send a message is defiance. Then turned around and voted to appoint Kushner's dad to am ambassadorship.
Have a seat.
You never know.

the other guys just doing what they said they're going to do.
Agreed US is a lost cause.
Many other organizations too…democrats are raising funds and bring cases to Inspector Generals and STATE AG’s …so give credit where credit is due …
Here is the one for EO’s

Also, at some point, isn't all of this batshit activity that's generating oodles of legal cases going to be hampered by the lack of govt lawyers to support the immense caseload?
Congressmen: Wow, water sure is getting hot in here, can we all agree to focus on Joe Biden’s declining health last year?
The excuse from Ds is they just don’t want to.
Please.
GTFOH.
As the article points out, this will no doubt be challenged in court.

Imagine if like robbing a bank was like that.
Cop: "Nice try vaulting the counter and rushing the open safe. Now give the money back and go on your way."
Me: "Same time tomorrow, Jeff?"
Blame that on the glorious Constitution. Only the executive branch has any enforcement powers. And its head has the limitless power of the pardon.
So he can get ANYONE to commit illegal acts on his behalf, and then just pardon them. All constitutional.
(Remember hearing a joke one time about a man going to a lawyer to see if he could qualify for a Bivens action. The lawyer's first question: "Is your name Webster Bivens?" and tisks when the client says that is not his name.)
But do you think that international students will not transfer at the first chance?
They seem to think that they can wait for some undefined incident that is just beyond the pale, but by the time that happens they will have lost all trust and credibility.
Creative non-violence. Rallies. Language that meets the urgency of the moment.
Private citizens like me with little to no organizing experience can do something, but very little. We need people with authority and reach to lead.
Useless is a fault of math, not intent
(*We* love it when *They* are in minority...
Getting there is also math... addition: vote by vote)
