To do a “well, actually” I guess we didn’t really have an empire until well past the country’s founding. We were a mostly irrelevant backwater for some period of time.

ETA: And as someone who freaking loves this country, I realize that saying a comment like the above is one that could probably get you into a fight two days from now, most especially, when all kinds of fetishistic performative military nonsense and uncritical screeds about this country are at peak ridiculousness (and I love July 4th in spite of these flaws). I consider myself a real patriot, but one that is unwilling to whitewash this country.

Agreed. I wish Biden would announce they are all being arrested and tried for treason. Same for the cons on the “supreme” court.

People like the Heritage Foundation represent the Tories, though.

The Green Party in the United States is a joke.

Ryan: “What’s said in the family stays in the family.”

I’d be cool with arrests. I’d love to see Biden test it out by arresting anyone involved with the coup plotting and anyone involved in organizing/instigating a coup.

Only the best people.

Wow, donnie lied?

I hate this timeline.

It’d be great to give the clenched something to be clenched about - for a change. They are always going on about how “tyrannical” the Democratic Party is. Well, let’s see a Democratic Party that actually fights for once, at least.

Let’s get Gavin Newsom in there.

IOKIYAR

Time for Biden to put it to the test - arrest donnie, the RW “justices”, all the magabrained in the House and Senate, any of the fake electors and anyone remotely involved in that coup attempt, as well as all of donnie’s thugs like Bannon and Stone and Miller and put them in Gitmo.

Then see how it goes.

The Constitution as we knew it is null and void.

Yep, it’s an “official act”.

So, is insurrection an official act?

I’d like to see some journalist pretending that they don’t understand and ask something like: “excuse me, why do you keep talking about armies of maggots”?

Okay, so what is your plan?

It’s more like, now what “liberal media”? FFS, can you stop bothsidering this stuff? If we have to have Weekend at Biden’s for 4 years, or, uh, let Kamala take charge, America will be okay.

If donnie gets into that office, it’s not clear that this country would ever be the same.

The RW love to broadcast their tiny genitals without spelling it out.
