Sounds like the pro-democracy call would be to call in seal team 6 to kill four supreme Court justices and then replace them before the elections in November.

And then if Congress refuses to nominate your justices then you kill the Congress members that vote against you.

And you just keep killing and killing and killing until things are right again.

[-] [email protected] 30 points 2 weeks ago

Don’t forget the killing.

[-] [email protected] 12 points 2 weeks ago

Oh, right. Good catch, I almost forgot!

For Managed Democracy!

It's never going to happen.

[-] [email protected] 13 points 2 weeks ago

And that's a good thing. I don't want the killing to start because who is to say it will ever end?

I'm sure the reason scotus passed this is because they know the dems wont take advantage of it, If they thought the dems would make use of the powers they would have used another delay tactic

Not enough bullets.

It's this the same group that were screaming about "setting a precedent" when trump was going to court because "oooOOOooooh we might do your guy now".

[-] [email protected] 73 points 2 weeks ago

To sum up: The GOP and its SCOTUS are all actively trying to overthrow democracy in the wake of an actual coup attempt, and a party called Democrats are now legally permitted to have them shot (and absolutely will not do that). Further, the current president is being rubbished by a corporate press so hungry for ad revenue that they prefer bad presidents.

A sad finale, played off key on a broken down saloon piano on the outskirts of a forgotten ghost town. I shall never cross its threshold again in my lifetime.

Basic human decency is a debilitating handicap in US politics.

[-] Zipitydew 24 points 2 weeks ago

It is against any authoritarians. The only thing they understand is getting their ass kicked. Everything else is a game in which they intend to always come out on top by any means.

So, which nation will bring the seeds of democracy to this ailing regime's populace? How about you, Iraq, for old times sake?

[-] [email protected] 14 points 2 weeks ago

Britain is still here. It's not too late to surrender.

Make America Great Britain Again!

Ive seen their government. I'll pass. Annexation by Canada would be ok though.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Unfortunately, the apple didn't fall far from the tree and their government is not so great, either.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

I'll try and fix that on Thursday.

I don't know. Doesn't someone need to find oil under the white house first?

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

There is lots of oil under the US

Correct me if my European brain can't comprehend this, but isn't the whole point of the 2nd amendment to prevent the rise of tyranny?

[-] [email protected] 24 points 2 weeks ago

Yes, but the wrong group is clinging to guns.

Democrats act all high-mined in their rejection of political violence and distaste for guns, but in opposing gun ownership they've allowed their opposition that's just fine with political violence to own all the guns.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago

Well obviously a pitched battle against the maga folk isn't going to go well, but I'm sure there's a way to get to their god-emperor. Does the 2nd amendment also cover IEDs?

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

Destructive devices yes, most are legal you just gotta be permitted and register everything.

Yeah.

It's almost time to kill Nazis again.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Partially, but that was before the US government controlled the most powerful military in the world. The idea that whatever weapons civilians could get their hands on would be able to overpower the military is laughable.

[-] rambling_lunatic 1 points 1 week ago

The military depends on a supply chain. A general strike will cripple it within weeks.
The US Army is very strong against other conventional armies, but has proven to be awful at unconventional warfare.
The greatest strength of the US Army is its arsenal of bombs and the powerful deterrent of the atom bomb. If the US army bombs US territory, then it is bombing itself. A general strike is unnecessary if the factory is gone. At that point the Civil War will become a war of attrition, and autonomous insurgent cells have an inherent advantage in those.
I expect at least a decent number of soldiers to mutiny or desert.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

I hope we don't have to find out.

[-] rambling_lunatic 2 points 1 week ago

Me neither. Too much fallout (potentially literal fallout) for the rest of us, plus inevitable piles of corpses in the former USA.

[-] [email protected] 17 points 2 weeks ago

So keeping files is not a presidents act. And Georgia also not.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago

So, how bad would it be if Biden took up on this claim and assassinated Trump using these supposed laws?

Would the laws be counted as illegal, and Biden sent to jail?

Do you think you Americans would get a non-geriatric candidate to vote on?

[-] ryathal 4 points 1 week ago

He would probably be impeached and removed, also barred from office.
Whoever actually pulled the trigger/killed Trump is likely facing murder charges.
Biden may be immune for the order criminally.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Biden may be immune for the order criminally.

Not a chance. The SCOTUS decides what is and isn't "official," and 6 of them would determine that this was "not official."

[+] [email protected] -20 points 2 weeks ago

He'd probably call in SEAL Team 6 and tell them to 'beat Medicare'.

Jokes aside, it's really quite upsetting to see an old man mentally decline so quickly and publicly. I just hope that those around him will usher him away from the spotlight in a dignified manner if it gets bad enough.

Mental decline and/or Alzheimer's/dementia are fucking cruel. It's awful to watch a loved one go like that and I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

Agreed, Trump wouldn't even know what to do with SEAL team 6 if he saw what they did right in front of him in large crayon but the only goal is killing or stopping anything that could make one thing work for the majority of people.
