I genuinely don’t even know what to say or do anymore. We’re becoming a failed state.

First, I'm not a lawyer, I'm a poli-sci nerd with a military background. But I don't see how Trump is stopped with a complicit congress, and his apparent willingness to ignore court rulings. It would all come down to military leaders defying orders, which is... ultimately not a good thing.

Here's my completely fatalist prediction: ICE raids in blue cities justify Nat'l Guard/Military > Protests increase, more violence > Insurrection Act/Martial Law > More protests > Rights suspended > Trump announces active hostilities in blue cities > Elections suspended > King Trump.

So, I watch basketball, and I love my Timberwolves. However they are not actually playing the sport tonight. They’re just spectating the Thunder’s shoot around.

Or put another way:
Americans demand moral clarity and competence from Democrats. Yet they applaud defiance and chaos from Republicans. That’s not balance β€” that’s broken.

It’s remarkable how high voters’ standards are for elected Democrats β€” and just as remarkable how low the standards are for elected Republicans.

β€”control, and self-aggrandizement β€” not justice, not truth, not unity.
I still believe in the promise of this country. But these days, I find myself fighting to remember why.

β€”if you learn from it. That’s why history matters so much to me. It’s our guide, our cautionary tale, our reminder of who we’ve been β€” and who we could be.
But too many of my fellow citizens don’t seem to care. And that apathy has left them vulnerable to those who seek only powerβ€”

β€”becoming better.
But I don’t see that anymore.
I see large segments of this country ignoring β€” or actively rewriting β€” our history. The hard lessons we once learned seem lost. And when we forget the past, we lose the wisdom it gave us.
I’ve always believed there’s no such thing as a mistakeβ€”

I’m struggling to recapture the love I once had for this country.
I grew up believing we were already great β€” not because we were perfect, but because we had the capacity to learn from our mistakes. I saw the evils and transgressions in our past, but I believed we had grown from them. That we wereβ€”

What, exactly, do people think SCOTUS can do here? You do realize SCOTUS has ZERO enforcement mechanism right? The Executive Branch is responsible for enforcing SCOTUS rulings. SCOTUS did the right thing, 9-0 ruling. After that, there's literally nothing they can do.

The Orange Floating Shit that we can't flush is manipulating the markets with more ease than the morons he manipulated to get himself reelected.

Again, I wonder, where are all the MAGA Idiots who wouldn't shut up about Trump being a peace president? He's doing what he can to force Ukraine to capitulate to an invader, all while trying to incite a conflict with Canada! Not to mention the absolute travesty of his handling of the Gaza conflict.
