Apparently that's what we decided to get ourselves for our 250th birthday 🤦♀️

Other countries can always write history down for us in case our own books aren't accurate as well. Benefits of globalization.

There cannot be a single group of people we are willing to sacrifice to save ourselves. If we fall into that trap, they will pick us off one by one until there's nothing left.
An injury to one is an injury to all.
Period.

Everyone who is actually paying attention is worried to the point of nausea (or beyond). The problem is getting the attention of those who aren't paying attention with adequate coverage, to get ALL Dem politicians united in lockstep opposition to this.

I mean, if he's talking about the current Republican administration, he isn't wrong?
Every accusation is a confession with them.

I mean, yes. But the bond market instability is gonna cause global horrors well before the 2026 US elections. We, as a country and a global community, cannot wait that long. Somebody somewhere has gotta figure out how to throw actual brakes on the economic disaster being contrived in the WH.

Well they did claim state secrets over the publicly-trackable flights down there in the first place, so this tracks in a horribly unsurprising way.

And the backlash they'd get from the actual true story he could tell to the press when he got back (and smart people would 100% make sure he got on Fox first, imo) would be something they probably wouldn't be able to control.

Technically the marshalls have an oath to the rule of law, not the DOJ, just like the military, but this DOJ will obv test that. Anyone the courts could deputize to carry out the contempt order doesn't necessarily have to be under the DOJ supervision, so no. They can only order those in the DOJ.

Oh he's openly discussed taking ppls guns away, I believe even back in his first term, but somehow the Dems are the ones who want to destroy the 2A (with common sense gun laws because kids shouldn't be afraid to go to school? How dare we!), it's madness.

Let's be honest, that's the least of the sacrifices he's willing to make.

I suspect they will manufacture their unrest and blame the rest of us for it, because anything Hitler did, they think they can do better 🤮 I do look forward to the dawning horror when he comes for the 2nd amendment that so many of his supporters love above the rest of the bill of rights.

You are correct, mostly because Trump could immediately pardon any criminal contempt charges, having the pres parden power. Civil contempt is where this would apply. A better breakdown than I would ever attempt to do -

What happened to the ones who enabled Dachau and Auschwitz? 🤷♀️

Some of us down here have been nervous since inauguration day in anticipation of shit like this 😑

Might be part of why they're only sending mid level attorneys to the courtroom and resisting attempts to get any actual ppl from the admin in person, lest things take a turn. I mean, they could just stop doing illegal shit, but I fear that's just too logical for this lot 😑

Not true. The courts can deputize other law enforcement to carry out their orders if the marshals can't/won't.

As someone with C-PTSD from an abusive relationship, oh boy, what a time to be living in America, for sure 😭😑

Oh 100%, no challenge from me on that. They're creating a "solution" to a nonexistent problem in order to give themselves more control over who can actually vote.

Women who vote Republican are much more likely to change their name at marriage than those who vote Democrat, so somewhat false. It'll also impact the disabled, poor, and minority communities, so that bit tracks with your argument.

Not always true. A friend of mine adopted a boy and he requested to change his last name to match hers (he was middle school aged when the adoption process finally went through). His legal name and birth cert don't match 100%. He is LIVID and he isn't even old enough to vote yet.

I don't live in a state where I can get one right now, but we are moving to one where it is an option this summer and that's what I'll be opting for when I change my license. Between that and my passport, fuckers better let me vote, lol.
