Well of course. That is what they are being paid to be.
Once everyone is convinced that laws are meaningless shit will spiral out of control. Like whose authority would I recognize over my own at this point?
If masked thugs show up at my door they getting shot, I'm not taking their word for who they claim to be.
And even if they are who they say they are, I will not comply with what I perceive to be illegal orders that I have no good faith that I'd be able to argue in a fair court of law, and even if I were convinced of that...
WHAT DOES EVEN WINNING IN COURT MEAN IF COURTS ARE IGNORED?
When they kick at your front door
How you gonna come?
With your hands on your head
Or on the trigger of your gun
When the law break in
How you gonna go?
Shot down on the pavement
Or waiting in death row
Huh, who would'a thunk that "separation of powers" and "checks and balances" were just tools to simultaneously prevent progressive policy from being passed, and to give a semblance of democracy from a capitalist empire
The lack of separation is the problem, as Washington warned against the allowance of political parties
For those slightly confused they’re talking about Washington the President, not Washington the DC.

So officially we are in a dictatorship
I just want the courts or congress or whatever to officially admit that, I'm sick of the pretense of checks and balances
The $upreme Cucks
The system is broken.
Which is why decorum will rescue us if we don't resist the tide of fascism. Remember the words of Chuck Shumer "fascism loses when we stop resisting it."
The system is down
At least we are learning it was always bullshit.
Of course they are ok with it, they’ve been ok with everything he has done since the beginning.
So what?
-People OK with Deporting Toddlers with Cancer because their Parents are trying to Legally Immigrate!
This is real shit and all but also holy fuck is it impossible to read MJ anymore. Ads took me away from the content 3 times trying to read this.
Mother Jones has a full-text RSS feed. No pictures, but no ads either.
Neat.

I use uBlock Origin and didn't see any ads at all. Although the site did pop up and ask for money since it detected the ad blocker.
I honestly don't know how people browse without an ad blocker. 😬
