"All elections are rigged and Democrats don't exist" is the kind of paranoid delusion that once got you shunned from society and maybe committed. Now it gets you retweeted by the defacto president and the adoration of thousands of other cultists.

if the president can say “i don’t like the department of energy,” and within a week it’s closed, then the constitution means nothing, and the president’s entire claim to power is the loyalty of the military. either he is constrained by the constitution or he’s a dictator, there isn’t a middle ground

Last year, law enforcement intercepted about 19 kilograms of fentanyl at the US-Canada border. At the southern border, agents seized 9,600 kilograms. The idea that Canada is a major source of drugs is a lie, and this admin is hoping you’re stupid enough to believe it.

The freezing of federal grants, the firing of all inspector generals, the immunization of political violence - does everybody not see what’s happening? In a blitzkrieg, Trump is trying to collapse our democracy - and probably our economy - and seize control. Call it what it is.

I personally am not a fan of the preemptive pardons for many reasons, but I will say the manic, unhinged and furious reactions of MAGA Republicans, which include calling for state court prosecutions and MORE congressional investigations, proves Biden’s point on why he did it.

This does double-duty as an explanation of why the idea of “a mandate” isn’t particularly useful. However these Trumpists came to power, the narrowness of the margin of victory has zero bearing on how they will wield it.
