You’re not wrong. I just hope one day there’s an American version of the Nuremberg Trials where we can talk about human rights abuses, extrajudicial killings, abuse of authority… lots of stuff.

This is illegal.
But Enforcement requires educated citizens, independent courts, and functioning Congress.
Without them, legality becomes arbitrary.
That’s why Miller’s talk of plenary authority matters. It’s not just rhetoric; it’s the legal justification for dictatorship.

I can’t believe this isn’t a bigger deal to people.
“Plenary Authority” is one of those phrases that doesn’t belong NEAR a democracy.
The only equivalent I can think of is if Hitler’s general said, “We will have camps.”
It shows malice of forethought.
The Hague will love it.

I’m pretty sure that was click bait, but I was talking about the Florida cop he showcased saying he would “Tell your family where to claim your body.”

The frog suit was funny, but MAGA isn’t joking. They want to kill us. Act accordingly.

In addition to making cops soldiers, Trump wants to make soldiers cops.
I’ve been both.
They are very different jobs. Soldiers fight an enemy. If cops are soldiers, who is the enemy? Average people in America?
That can’t be right.

If we’re going to punish Comey for allegedly lying to Congress, fine — do it.
But don’t pretend this is about rule-of-law when guys like Jim Jordan simply ignore subpoenas with no consequences.
Either prosecute everybody or stop pretending fairness exists.

The American People: “This is money we gave to the FBI to use to trap criminals in bribes. You took the money. You’re a criminal who accepted a bribe.”

Tom Homan: “I’m keeping the money. I won’t be charged. I’m keeping my job. This never happened.”

FBI: “Move along. Nothing to see here.”

because they can’t afford to wait without a paycheck, then MAGA can say, “Well, I guess we’ll close this office. Hands tied.”

The bank is still going to want their mortgage payment, so OF COURSE they should get back pay when the government reopens.
At least in a functioning society.
MAGA wants the workers to quit

Every act of resistance has the opportunity to make an impact.
The Butterfly Effect is real.
Do what’s right not only when it’s unpopular, but do it BECAUSE it’s unpopular.

“Entertainers should entertain?”
They do.
Shows like The Daily Show and The Colbert Report took a new cable network—Comedy Central—and built an audience out of a generation that was more informed than ever thanks to 24-hour news.
