Yah. While it would have been immensely, viscerally satisfying for Biden to invoke all the shady natsec powers allowed by PATRIOT act and have the entire Trump clan and their crowd of cronies black-bagged and vanished into Gitmo, it would really be extremely, incredibly bad for America and the world.

nope. it’s whether i trust dictators or the rule of law in a democracy.
i don’t completely trust the latter, but it’s a heck of a lot better than the former.
we will see. i still think the current process beats tanks in the street.

He’ll keep the Second Amendment, once someone points out to him that it’s part of the Constitution.

This isn’t even about TFG anymore, it’s about his vile, cowardly GOP enablers.

It kind of always has been, though. If they didn’t support his candidacy and back him because they saw him as helping them to “win” then we wouldn’t be here. But they’ve been using racist dog whistling in their attempt to win over the white, male working class for so long, this embracing his more openly racist, fascist worldview was not much of a step too far for them. It was merely bringing the already existing margin of the conservative movement into the mainstream…

Right-wingers: “I am a Second Amendment fundamentalist!”
Right-wingers (later): “JUST KIDDING! I never cared about the Second Amendment at all. I just want to kill somebody. So, whatever it takes, you know.”

I agree this is really the beginning of some serious tail consumption, b/c he’s pissed on the one thing both the mainstream GOP and QQP cling to in order to justify some their most ridiculous and hypocritical arguments, the constitution. Not to mention the massive wrench TFG’s thrown into the upcoming GOP house majority, pitting the fringe cultists against mainstream GOP. This will continue to be a shit show as Trump goes down.

I would love to see this, especially Marge and Boebert, I’ll bet the big words would give them trouble or even the easy words.

It was actually done during Trump’s time and multiple right-wing sites called the text subversive…until someone pointed out what it was they were reading.
Just because they audibly convey the words doesn’t mean they will act on them. I mean, they’re actively against 3 of the things in the preamble, much less the rest of the document.

A performative utterance then and now, but the next congress will be one of those do nothing bodies, so II guess it’s fitting.

Don’t be silly, there is no such word. It was spelled Congreſs.
You know: one Congref, two Congrefs.
Extra points if they have internalised enough orthography to change it to “congreves” while they’re saying it.
