In a republic the executive is answerable to the law. We’re neither a democracy or republic.

It’s a sickness, they can’t stop themselves.

This sounds depressing as hell, good work.

unless the fourteenth amendment overrides both treaty and statute

It absolutely does! That’s the point!

Was just before Christmas

I just bought a year of it :(

But not everyone is known for it…

It’s part of a larger trend of social media blackouts, this is bad because it lets the wealthy control our discource in the furtherance of their oligarchic aims.

I absolutely agree we shouldn’t give up on any political fronts. I just want people to understand that we can’t count on it, a page has turned… Anyway thanks for the chat.

There are not enough, by far. At this point (thanks to scotus) we’ll need a new constitution just to reclaim democracy.

That is all without considering what Trump is likely to cause in his second term. Scotus has ruled that a sitting president cannot, officially break the law. That is not a Republic. Scotus has ruled that money is speech, and so our positions on issues have less (/no) value. That is not democracy.

I’m not trying to be a doomer, just realistic.

I want to take away their power to exploit people.

They don’t want that. They control Congress and the courts. It can’t be done through proper channels because we already lost our Republic. They won’t give it up without a fight.

Which is why billionaires shouldn’t be a thing.

That’s all well and good, but the work will not stop…

Soon…There is now an additional botnet.

I hate it when the tin-foil-hatters end up being coincidentally right about something.

Cartel noun an association of manufacturers or suppliers with the >purpose of maintaining prices at a high level and >restricting competition.

Corporation noun a company or group of people authorized to act as a >single entity (legally a person) and recognized as such in >law.

Not a whole lot of difference…

I just need 11,000 votes

Which just furthers op’s main point, really. I mean it was fairly well planned in a fairly overt fashion, why weren’t they prepared?

Eh, while the invasion is ongoing it makes sense.
