    Welcome back to the USA, the country where everything is made up and the points made to justify anything and everything don’t matter.

    So much of this is just “It’s a National Emergency because I said so!

    If people could stop saying “they can’t do X because of the Constitution” that’d be great. We’re well into a Constitutional crisis.

      Agreed. I still see people (including my friends, despite my multiple attempts to explain what’s actually going on) that just go “Wait, but that violates the Constitution!” Like, no shit, dude, they know, and they do not give a fuck, especially if no one is actually going to punish them for it

        @Zenodyne @SnotFlickerman the clue should probably have been the fact that Musk openly stated that he would, and Trump actually was going to, go to prison if Trump didn’t win the election. Running the country is their way *into* lawbreaking.

          We were so close to that timeline.
