I think the problem is, they're not actually making coherent arguments with a logical basis, they're trolling as a distraction.

I'm curious what the Qatari interests in the western hemisphere are that they'd be protecting from this base.

Yeah, this is a concern. This is how you get brownshirts.

Details notwithstanding, the Trump tent is a big tent that includes a lot of factions who don't like or care about or even respect each other. They all see each other as useful idiots advancing their agendas.

I don't think they have a path to "winning", eventually it all has to implode.

As a cryptid, I'm a little bummed, but you get out there and live your best life. The eldritch horrors will all still be here when you're ready.

I really feel like the committee sent a message with this one.

They're 100% in support of neoliberal capitalism, but they chose a woman (and a Latina) to signal that they have limits.

Someone really needs to explain to me how it's NOT a constitutional crisis if one party decides they're just not going to seat opposition representatives.

Sorry. I'm fixing it as fast as I can, it just keeps coming.

Lol, so, we're going to build an airbase...outside the American chain of command...in the middle of America.

Sounds great, what could possibly go wrong.

If you have a Supreme Court which is empowered to dictate what the Constitution means and it is not bound by precedent, then it's sort of a wonder we made it this far.

America has an on-again/off-again love affair with apocalyptic Christianity. We're at what I see as a dangerous time where the government is a weird collusion of self-identified dominionists and run-of-the-mill grifters.

Weirdly, she's come forward with a relatively nuanced message that boils down to, "I think the ACA is terrible, but what they're trying to do here is just going to make it worse."

You can disagree with her on policy, but she is absolutely the voice of reason on the right, on this issue.

So, the antichrist is warning us that someone else is definitely the antichrist? I mean, that's what I would do if I was the antichrist.

It's not a system build to operate at scale. Most of the executive branch and the SCOTUS is guilty of varying degrees of dereliction of duty, violation of their oaths, and/or treason.

I don't know how you have a peaceful transition out of this unless somehow the midterms actually happen.

But, if they're already in violation of the decree, how much of a deterrent is extending the decree? 🤷

The thing is, laws are not spells. Laws are just part of the social contract and a law that cannot be (or is not) enforced is just a special kind of patriotic fiction.

People respond to incentives. When it seems like their behavior doesn't make sense, you've just misunderstood their priorities.

I don't think people appreciate the level of 4-D chess by the committee here. It's a woman, and a Latina, but also someone pretty solidly pro-Trump.

It's going to make the messaging VERY complicated for the administration.
