On topic after topic, President Trump made clear that he would be the arbiter of any limits to his authorities, not international law or treaties.

Its not like the American Revolution and Constitution are total rejections of this view or anything.

    Democratic lawmakers aren’t going to save us. That party has also been taken over by corpo fascist billionaires.

    No I’m not saying both sides are the same. Just that what’s happening right now is class warfare, the elite control the democratic party too. They aren’t going to save us from themselves.

      I like to compare it to a workplace. Some managers are cool to work for, and some are total assholes who terrorize every moment at work.

      We all want to work for the cool boss, but make no mistake, BOTH bosses have the same ultimate agenda, which is to force us to toe the company line. One manipulates us, and one forces us, but the result is the same.

      We can try to get our managers to represent us to the top, but they are always going to be more interested in protecting their own interests than ours. Eventually, we’ll have to just go around them, and “appeal” to the top ourselves.

        Yep. As long as all the money is flowing up the system will be corrupt, and the managers aren’t willingly going to interrupt that flow. So we will have to have a “meeting” with them and “parley”.

      I’m just saying, thats why J6 was possible. Unfortunately, revolutions cost money along with the organizing.

        If they’d sprung for catering on Jan6, they would have won the day, but all those Dumb Apes got hungry for dinner and headed back to the Motel 6 to celebrate and drink to their “Victory.”
