Establishment Democrats have done more to stop Zohran Mamdani than they have to stop Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, Palantir or the Crypto Corruption machine currently swallowing American democracy whole.

Excuse my ignorance. But since this wasn’t authorized by congress. And there is no imminent threat to the USA. Doesn’t that make the order to strike illegal? And thus shouldn’t the staff that carried out the order have had a duty to reject the order?

Follow up to follow up: If the president thinks the south should’ve won their right to secede - does that mean he supports a states right to secede today?

Would very much like to have this on record (I say while looking at the Western States Compact)

Ok. Just give 72h notice for every day of the year, for every site, then either show up or don’t show up.

Just saying he’ll do it with or *without* approval is surely an impeachable offense. Like the thousands impeachable offense this term.

Never design your government as a presidential system kids.

This cover also played a role in the best reply from the great @edyong209.bsky.social.

It was still remarkable to see the difference in reporting between US and overseas media. US media seemingly gave full credulity to Bush admin’s claims and made up evidence, while overseas where I was living at the time we were all shocked and how obviously made up it all was.

I suspect his friend in the Kremlin asked him to work against war on Iran.

When there was a chance to “not be distracted” with the CR he led a bunch of Dems in helping to pass it rather than fight at that point. Man is full of shit and needed to be ousted from minority leadership then.

Why are you so weak. You should call for his censure and removal.

And now you need to be calling for the release of Brad Lander right now and for legislation to reign in ICE.

These masked guys are ominous as fuck

There’s probably already dozens of deaths attributable to the evacuation, and it’s just started.

Whenever Democrats eventually retake Congress we must to pass a broad and deep privacy act to stop all this data sharing.

Yeah more fighters please, I don’t want to have to vote Newsom in 2028

Cool that you’re ignoring trade deals need to go through congress and just going along with the whole Trump is a king that does deals via proclamation thing

Just having a president puts focus on the president. Putting focus on the president takes it away from congress.

Half the people in this country (left and right) seemingly don’t know which party controls which chamber at any time and only know what party controls the presidency.

STV/RCV isn’t a complete solution here but it does tend to moderate candidates and removes extreme primaries.

(2) Somehow reduce the amount of power to president has so if a fascist president wins they are more restricted. (Ideally there would be no president… like I say, hard to fix in the US.)

It’s a very tough fix to implement in the US but two needed solutions are: (1) electoral reform, e.g. under MMP we would still have a fascism party, but also still have a center-right Republican Party and they would be splitting the seats rather than fascism party takes all. \
