Fucking Jesus the constitutional crisis has been here for almost two months already. Great job Dems on underselling the seriousness of this.
The crisis is here and has been ongoing. Saying he is just sending us into it now is pussy shit.
What they're teaching is self sufficiency. When that self sufficiency is realized we will have a real revolution with mortal consequences. There are more of us than them. We are smarter than them. And we are angrier than they think. If the DNC wont play ball with the true will of the people, it will be a bigger problem for them than us.
We need to cleave off at least some of the MAGA movement to make this happen.
Let them come to us. We gain nothing by catering to them. Ask Harris if you don't believe me.
Oh I'm not advocating for anything right now. But it might be an interesting time to tune into the main show on TYT and see how those turncloaks are handling this.
Anything that can cleave off or create factions weakens them.
All this shit and you threaten fucking Democrats?!?
What you expect? Fucking Russian Donald Bots they actually are.
I truly believe that. It's hard for people to see when the "majority" opinion is so loud and constant.
It's why social media is dangerous.
In this context they're talking about Democrats in office and the DNC.
People on this site sometimes...
Meanwhile we've got
respectable moderateslike Quisling Schumer popping a semi at the mere thought of bombing IranIt's my guess that they either have 1) weapons manufacturers donating to them or 2) have weapons manufacturing in their district (which they see as "job creation" for their constituents) or both.
Of course they have weapons manufacturers lobbying them. The government is literally the ONLY client for some of these clients. Who else are they going to sell their weapons of mass destruction to?
You're forgetting all that AIPAC money.
The only parts of the Constitution they pretend to care about are the first and second amendment and only when it serves their interests. The rest is basically just toilet paper to them.
Ol' Petey seems a big fan of the 21st...
Deep cut there. I love it!
You're the godamn devil
Maybe the next protests should be organized next to their homes.
Don't you know they are only suppose to act the year before the elections
What if there were elections every year? There's always someone who needs to act.
They're complaining about it because one of these times they might have to actually do something.
Is this treason?
Yes
Lock him up.
Saying flat-out that the only court they will acknowledge is the Supreme Court. Gee, I wonder why that might be.
I would have settled for the 5th circuit, just like they've done 90% of the time. Bold claim, even for Nazis
The only qualification Trump wanted of Hegseth for the job was a willingness to use the American military against American citizens on American soil. Hegseth wrote a book advocating for this.
I'm also 100% convinced the story about Kristy Noem shooting her puppy is what got her the job. That screams callous and heartless which is exactly the qualification Trump would want...
So treason basically.
Yup, it was a requirement for the job.
The courts have to start finding these people in contempt and deputizing people to go enforce those orders on behalf of the court if law enforcement won't. The House won't exercise its duty to be a check on the President. The Senate has barely made a few weak gestures. All that's left are the courts. Well, and We The People.
Pete Hegseth will disobey anything except the shakes
That got a hard laugh out of me
Dude deserves the electric chair for treason.
America is so full of traitors its wild.
Pfft...
Are you daft? You know very fucking well he would straight up disobey on the guarantee of a pardon from Mafia Don Mangolini.
FFS.
🤷♂️ 🤡 🫏 🖕 💩
Why wouldn't he disobey? There have been literally no consequences for Trump or any of his sycophants.
Fucking what, sending them in the first place is disobeying
Isn’t he Fox lightweight? How could they have confirmed him?
They confirmed RFK Jr for Health, Tulsi Gabbard for Intelligence, Kash Patel for the FBI. They'd confirm a dried out turd given the chance.
All fucking DUI merit hires.
Pete Hegseth should be removed from power.
