i think it would be funny if joe went sicko mode on this precedent and did some housecleaning to demonstrate materially why and how the supreme court made a massive mistake.
They’re all acting like they DONT live in a country of gun loving nut jobs. How much furthers it gotta go before someone decides to become a martyr on either side and try “solve the problem” with a rifle?
Oh yeah, the end of democracy and the peaceful transition of power, and the beginning of outright fascism. So funny! Haha.
He won’t but it seems win/win to me.
- I mean, he’s not long for this world so he won’t even really have to deal with the consequences.
- He’ll definitely end up in the history books for centuries.
- We wouldn’t have to deal with Trump anymore.
- The Republican party would be in chaos.
- There would almost certainly be a bipartisan push for a constitutional amendment to limit the ability of the President to do shit like that in the future.
The only potential downside I can see is that they might use Trump as a martyr to get someone even crazier and probably smarter elected.
So when Trump becomes president he can just throw all his political opponents in jail, right? It’s a presidential action.
The USA just created a second Russia, China, North Korea, …
Biden should take his balls in his hands and fire the republicans from office as an “official action to save the poor”, get rid of the crooked supreme court justices as an “official action to restore balance”, write a new constitution as an “official action to save the country from the brink of destruction”, and just in general clean up the laws in the country as an “official action”. No more gerrymandering, get rid of first past the post and the two party system, make the presidential election a direct vote instead of the bullshit electoral college, and so many other things.
Do it, you fucking coward.
I think you’re mistaking Biden for someone who is not a corporatist.
It staggers me that in reality so much of the operation of various countries democracies have relied upon good people acting in good faith.
Was Scomo making himself anything less than a king by secretly appointing himself as the minister in charge for every key portfolio? Role out martial law, and congratulations, you have a new dictator. Surely, he could have done it with the panic around covid.
I always thought that looking back through history, with the lessons from ancient Egypt, Greece, the Roman Empire and even the rise of Stalin, Hitler etc we would be aware of what to look for and wouldn’t fall for the same thing over and over.
But it still seems to be so incredibly easy to achieve. It doesn’t seem to matter how ‘democratic’ you are, or how democratic you think your society is.
I am disappoint…
I find it really disappointing that Scomo and David Hurley got away with it as well, especially David Hurley. This showed that he was completely unfit for the job
Biden is 81 For the good of America he should just resign himself to eating Trump. The only consequences he would now face are indigestion.
He should turn this supreme court decision against Trump
He just needs to turn the decision against the Supreme Court itself. He won’t do shit though and will find himself in dying in jail
Centre of democracy my arse
