Mark my words, they’re going to use this to “legally” eliminate any opposition.

“It’s a very interesting capital punishment, capital city. Capital, capital, capital,” he added.

Is that applicable for corrupt politicians, too?

Guys, ist it time for that civil war yet or do you need some more time? Asking as a european, because it kinda is important what happens now.

Like honestly, does someone have an indepth analysis of likely scenarios because i really do not see how you guys might even manage to get back to your usually slow sucky decline under democrats.

I keep howling at the moon that the longer we wait the harder this will be. I think a couple major problems are that no one has really stepped up with concrete steps we can take to fight it, and we’re too spread out geographically to just storm D.C. Not to mention good ole American apathy, which will take until each person is severely personally affected for them to be willing to do the types of things that will need to be done to end this.

Common knowledge is that two wrongs don’t make a right, however I’m of the firm opinion that Dems are gonna have to commit some “wrongs” to make this right - the sooner they start the fewer wrongs will be needed.
