    I thought the whole point of representative representation was that one person could not hinkey up the governernance of the nation, perhaps I read a differing set of documents.

      This isn’t just one person doing this. It’s an entire conspiracy to turn this country in to a conservative “utopia”, where those in power get richer and those that aren’t get fucked.

      No, you’re correct. But when the nation let’s the child molester run free (actually; makes them president, again), why in the flying fuck should they care.

        I direct you to the wonderful episode of <insert science fiction franchise> where there are enough ‘sane’ people to keep technology alive while the species burns itself down for some insane reason…I hate being correct, I hate being prescient, I hate human nature for it cannot be legislated.

          US is beyond legislation. The law does not matter anymore. Nothing can save US but the actual patriots of America. At any cost. It will be a tough decision to make but, as a devout lover of democracy, I wish there are enough patriots who understand the position US is in. As of now, it does not seem that is the case but, as an outsider looking in, I truly hope I am wrong.

              Agree. And what have we seen so many times before in autocracies and dictatorships and now, every day, in America? That without democracy; there is no guarantee that you will be able to wake up with your family from one day to the other. That is what’s at stake, here. I believe it was Stephen Miller (correct me if I’m wrong) that said their “conservative revolution will be bloodless, if the left allows it to”. I interpret that as, well, literally. I do not want US to have a second civil war, I want you to put an end to this asap, by any means necessary, because for every day they get to continue; is a day more of complete victory. You’re not in a state of kids play, US. This is utterly serious.

          Are republicans no longer part of the nation of the US? If not; they’re illegal. Republicans, if anyone, knows what to do with illegal aliens.

            Given the fact the US is hardly a united cultural entity id hardly say anyone is part of an American nation. It’d be like calling the Holy Roman Empire a nation, sure the Germans were all vaguely culturally aligned but a Frisian and a Swissman barely had anything in common.

      Without a majority behind him, the speaker cannot do what he’s doing. He’s just taking the heat for it.

        Let them all take the heat, then, and show them to the queue for the guillotine. Oh, wait, that was France and centuries ago. 🤷🏼‍♂️ Classic.

      Johnson and other bootlicking cucks in the Confederate party keep saying Pedonald has a “mandate”, so I guess that means he is a king and they just have to do whatever his “agenda” is.

      Thafuq is “governernance”? Also, it’s “different”, as the implication that they differ is already present —unless you mean that the set of documents you must’ve read are currently arguing amongst themselves.

        1. Clearly a typo
        2. A totally valid use of the word.
             /ˈdif(ə)riNG/
             adjective
             adjective: differing
        
             not the same as each other; dissimilar.
             "widely differing circumstances"
        
             dif·fer
             /ˈdifər/
             verb
             gerund or present participle: differing
        
             be unlike or dissimilar.
             "the second set of data differed from the first" ```
        
        So... "thafuq" kind of attitude is that to have about correcting someone?

          Eh. 🤷🏼‍♂️ The first sentence was meant in jest, and the rest was simply corrective. Sorry for the tone. Your tense is still wrong. (ie. -ing =/= -ent)
