If America is fucked the whole world will be fucked. Just wait until Trump tries to have the US declare bankruptcy.

Yeah I'm aware. I look forward to my barely keeping food on the table future as a lobster poacher. Maybe I can trade some for a can of soup now and again.

Why do you think Trump is insisting that the Senate majority leader give him recess appointment power?

Trump is not planning on having anyone "confirmed." He isn't interested in what anyone else has to say. He is trying to rule with an iron fist, exactly as he said he would.

If we ever survive this, we are going to need to purge our country of voters like HY12. Everyone who voted for Trump needs to be permanently disenfranchised.

You don’t come out of fascism with more, rebranded fascism. No matter how grave the mistakes of the voters you can’t just revoke their citizenship and human rights.

If Trump does the terrible things we think he might we’d definitely need to have our own version of the Nuremberg tribunals to punish the biggest offenders, but not every day people whose biggest crime is voting.

That said, the biggest mistake with the end of Trump 1.0 was J6 was not dealt with swiftly and harshly enough. Pelosi made a mistake waiting to impeach Trump. He should have been impeached on the night of J6 before the election certification. Trial next day. Allowing it to marinate a bit allowed the Republicans to get their story worked out and escape accountability.

I didn't say revoke their citizenship. They just don't get to vote. They had their chance; they fucked it up; and the stakes are too high to give them another opportunity.

Imagine if reconstruction wasn't cut short.

If it wasn’t cut short the citizens of the rebelling states would still have the right to vote. I’m all for dealing with Trump and his lackeys harshly if they go through with committing crimes this go around as I expect them to, but I’m not willing to become them.

Well, this is clearly not a discussion we need to have right now. But being cautious and protective of democracy is not being like them. Being like them would be to make cruelty the point. Being like them would be to inflict untold pain and suffering because they enjoy it.

When this is all done, it's likely that we will need a new constitution and we're going to have to grapple with these problems eventually. it's just important to keep track of who is on who's side. They are doing that, so we need to as well.
