So sick of these imbeciles and their "I'm just joking...or am I?" bullshit.

Unfortunately it speaks directly to their fans. "Oh, the libs just can't stand all of the jokes about defying the law and constitution. Lol."

What people don't understand is that it's a Schrodinger's joke, like when someone is hitting on their friend

It either has always been a joke, or is completely real, depending on the reaction it gets

I wish I could go back in time and tell my younger self that the American empire is already so rotten that just one obviously bad president was enough to make everyone realise it.

to make everyone realise it.

Not so sure about that one to be honest...

Yeah. To everyone who saw the twist coming ahead of time, a round of my most sarcastic applause.

We're getting there

More than half of Republicans polled expressed a lack of faith in democracy, like 70% total up from like 40 in 2020

PERHAPS the sentiments contained in the following pages are not yet sufficiently fashionable to procure them general favor. A long habit of not thinking a thing wrong gives it a superficial appearance of being right, and raises at first a formidable outcry in defense of custom. But the tumult soon subsides. Time makes more converts than reason.

As a long and violent abuse of power is generally the Means of calling the right of it in question (and in Matters too which might never have been thought of, had not the Sufferers been aggravated into the inquiry), and as the [[self-declared]] King of England [[these United States]] hath undertaken in his own Right to support the Parliament [[Congress]] in what he calls Theirs, and as the good people of this country are grievously oppressed by the combination, they have an undoubted privilege to inquire into the pretensions of both, and equally to reject the usurpation of either.

In the following sheets, the author hath studiously avoided everything which is personal among ourselves. Compliments as well as censure to individuals make no part thereof. The wise and the worthy need not the triumph of a pamphlet; and those whose sentiments are injudicious or unfriendly will cease of themselves unless too much pains are bestowed upon their conversion.

The cause of America is in a great measure the cause of all mankind. Many circumstances hath and will arise which are not local, but universal, and through which the principles of all Lovers of Mankind are affected, and in the Event of which their Affections are interested. The laying a Country desolate with Fire and Sword, declaring War against the natural rights of all Mankind, and extirpating [destroying] the Defenders thereof from the Face of the Earth, is the Concern of every Man to whom Nature hath given the Power of feeling, of which Class, regardless of Party Censure, is the A U T H O R.

... I only had to change three phrases.

Its almost like you'd think this would all be Common Sense, or something.

Fucker shouldn't be allowed on the ballots. The states need to follow the constitution.
