      Fascists are never to be taken seriously when they say that they’re very worried about protecting anything.

        Another 5-10 years in power and they’ll legalize conversion therapy and honor killings against gay and trans kids and call it “parental rights”.

          It’ll be anyone with it a red hat on being chased down by then. Trump will be a full vegetable if not dead by then, and the Vance/Miller/Heritage crowd will have found a way to take absolute power. Otherwise the whole thing will collapse and we might have a shot at reclaiming the country.

              What kinda shot?

              Me against a police force? We haven’t even got left wing militias out there, let alone the size it would take for a coup.

                Cool, well you just take a seat and relax. You’ve clearly done everything you can. Someone will be along to save you any day now, I’m sure.

      Irony & Stephen being an arch-ghoul notwithstanding, federal law does supercede state law (Art 6 Sec 2). Like, Nebraska couldn’t just legalize murder. They could stop enforcing that law, but it’d still be illegal and the federal gov’t could take action.

      A 30+ felon who tried to overthrow the government, and stole enough classified docs to be imprisoned for millennia, is the president.

      There is no “federal law”. There is only a fascist dictatorship — a kakistocracy with nothing but the illusion of authority — and the millions of people who let this failed-state clown show continue.

      Like, I am genuinely baffled that in the most heavily armed county on Earth, with hundreds of thousands of veterans with PTSD, shat on for decades… How is the attempted murder of the people in charge not a daily occurrence? Shit’s wild yo!

      The law doesn’t matter unless the president says it does. We can disagree but it doesn’t matter until he is removed.

      EOs are far more powerful because they trigger actual action by federal agencies.

      It may not be how we learned it in Social Studies, but this is the streets.

    Little punk sure talks big when you can’t reach his little pencil neck. If federal law was as supreme as he plays up, him and his entire bunch would be behind bars right now

      Easy to sound like a big man when you’re shouting from behind a few hundred marines.

      But that’s sort of the crux of the issue. Miller has the Miller-tary at his beck and call while Mayor Bass will be lucky if half her LAPD don’t turn and open fire on her because they say they smelled weed. The folks with the guns seem absolutely gleeful in stomping their boots on the necks of LA residents.

      It wouldn’t surprise me if Miller was one of those “Skinny guys [that] fight 'til they’re burger.”

      I thought he might have been the source of Elmu’s black eye for a while.

      I have never wished for a mans death, but I have read the occasional obituary with great pleasure.

      I’d male an exception for PeeWee Himmler…and wish for his death.

    Stop paying taxes. Let miller figure out how he’s gonna pay the military to keep up this supreme leader bullshit.
