    Wow US,

    WTF are you doing.

    You were founded on the idea that no one is above the law. That’s why you tossed aside the monarchy.

      Sounds like the wrong party has been hoarding weapons.

      Jesus, this is bleak. In a week they’ve straight-up legalized giving gifts to officials as an overt gratuity and declared Presidents immune from the law.

      Part of me wants to see the current President take advantage of this moment to forcibly install a Court that will quickly overturn these decisions and return us to sanity.

      Same as average Germans in 1900 or 1930; just barely scraping by or worse, with not actual representation in the decisions being made by traitors behind closed doors.

      We will be hated and abused just as much as anyone. I hope the coming shift in relevant world powers will do a better job. This will soon be the new Italian peninsula of Rome. People are too stupid here to realize that the emperors of Rome were due to the consolidation of wealth. It resulted in massive civil wars and the eventual export of all Roman wealth to Constantinople. The USA will be the Italian peninsula of the late Roman era.

      It’s fine. We have an 81-year-old who jumps from his strongest issue — abortion — to his weakest issue — immigration mid-sentence who will save us from this downward spiral into fascism.

      I’m told <checks notes> that this is the best we’ve got.
