The constitution makes it extremely clear what to do in this situation.
Do it, you fucking pussies
- Decades of chanting "we are the best" yet they cower at the thought of standing up for themselves.
  
  The people cowering and the people chanting we are the best are two completely different groups of people. The NRA is a political group made for "rising when needed", a prime example of a group in the US chanting we are the best, but the NRA doesn't see anything thats going on as wrong. Those of us that do see things going wrong are doing our best, but without mass suicide theres not a whole lot more we can do that we aren't already doing. Writing and calling politicians, showing up to town halls, protesting (violent and nonviolent). I'm not sure what you expect us to do short of forming a leftist militia that will be tienamin squared in less than 2 seconds of forming. The working class as it stands can't do much other than sit and get shot at by ice and the coast guard while waiting for a larger politician to actually fucking do something.
  
  The number of absolute cowards in here whining at you… Christ.
- You think Le Resistance didn't fight knowing they could end up shot dead, or worse? You don't think they knew it was an uphill battle at all times?
  This is why there will be no American revolution, because the Americans are too egotistic to lay down their lives for their fellow countrymen.
  
  Nobody said it would be easy
pokes Schumer with a stick
- He's furrowing his brow as much as he can!
THEY MADE IT LEGAL FOR HIM TO DO WHATEVER HE WANTS OF COURSE THEY ARE IGNORING HIM
Well of course. That is what they are being paid to be.
Huh, who would'a thunk that "separation of powers" and "checks and balances" were just tools to simultaneously prevent progressive policy from being passed, and to give a semblance of democracy from a capitalist empire
- The lack of separation is the problem, as Washington warned against the allowance of political parties
  
  My point wasn't that separation of powers is the cause of undemocratic institutions, my point is that it's a terrible tool for that purpose.
The system is broken.
- Which is why decorum will rescue us if we don't resist the tide of fascism. Remember the words of Chuck Shumer "fascism loses when we stop resisting it."
- The system is down
Of course they are ok with it, they’ve been ok with everything he has done since the beginning.
At least we are learning it was always bullshit.
So what?
-People OK with Deporting Toddlers with Cancer because their Parents are trying to Legally Immigrate!
It's okay guys, I'm sure that if you go outside and walk some more with some especially passive-aggressive signs the regime will realize their wrongdoings.
- What do you think this comment contributes to this conversation?
  
  Oh, I just want to shame the Americans.
- Actually resisting? Making use of that 2nd amendment you so proudly claim is at the very bottom of the hierarchy of needs? Honoring your grandparents and great grandparents who gave their lives in the fight against tyranny? Taking a page from Italy's book on fighting fascism?
This is real shit and all but also holy fuck is it impossible to read MJ anymore. Ads took me away from the content 3 times trying to read this.
- Mother Jones has a full-text RSS feed. No pictures, but no ads either.
  
  Neat.
  
  Thanks. Because that was infuriating
fucking duh
Lock him up. Lock them up. Lock them all up.
Traitors and criminals. Every one.
All part of their plan.
