That will work until the Executive decides they aren’t needed any longer. A big “Go home, Capitol closed by executive order until the emergency has passed” sign on the Capitol doors. Those that ignore the sign wake up in some third world prison or as the next contestant on 47’s newest prime time game show, Who Wants to be Treated as an Insurrectionist Traitor. Their best bet is to organize a fast track impeachment before 47 can stop them, but the longer this all goes on, the faster that whole impeachment thing would need to occur.

I read the headline and had one thought: let me guess, his job?

I was thinking that the sudden, impromptu nature of the Pope’s funeral left Putin unable to prep Trump full of disinformation just before.

“What do you mean this isn’t Greenland, Captain?! If it isn’t Greenland, then where are we? I mean, look at how green everything here is, it must be Greenland, right? Falkland Islands? What’s that??”

I hate it, and it isn’t right, but that’s how The System always starts its negotiations. Amp up the charges to 11, throw in a bunch of “stretch goal” charges, and panic the defendant into taking a deal. From the defendant’s side of things, why risk 20 years of your life in prison for something you mostly aren’t guilty of, when they’ll accept a plea that will allow them to look both tough and merciful (and clear their name of all wrong doing) and only cost the defendant 3 years of probation and time served?

Do Epstein next! Oh, wait, riiiight.

Who had The Jungle, Part 2 on their 2025 Bingo card?

Incidentally, you’ll also find pineapples are commonly found carved in older furniture. Pineapples were considered a symbol of hospitality. Again, as I recall, because it’s been a while since I learned about this stuff.

So that’s how he’s going to make Mexico pay for a border wall!

Prat falls, cane twirling, roller skating.

BEARS!!! IYKYK

An old term for people of diminished mental capabilities.

Vance – that’s the hillbilly guy, yeah?

Agreed. More like Ghostbusters, less like Scandinavian literature.

I don’t think so.

Politics can sort of be like playing a cross between chess and chicken. Strategic moves to see who blinks first. It’s a constitutional challenge that will need to be addressed by the federal government, taking their time and resources from their own unconstitutional efforts.

Or not. I’m just an Internet person who as far as anyone knows has zero expertise in these sorts of things.

Me llama Han Solo y quiero jugar videojuegos de Switch2. Además, no me gusta pagar Trumpiffs. Theoretically.

ELI5 smuggling a Switch2 over the Mexico or Canadian border. Not that I would recommend that or anything. For science. And fanfic.

The dumb idols of the right wing gods are angry and demand human sacrifice.

What a stupid timeline.
