    The amount of confused euros ITT is hilarious. Yeah, the states is very backwards. Paper prescriptions, paper checks, paper social benefits cards. What most people don’t realize, like in the meme, just because a pharmacy gets a prescription doesn’t mean they don’t call into the docs office to confirm the script. These are rituals from a bygone era that should have been long replaced by computers and near instantaneous communication.



  • No. That is far, far below sufficient. An example of a rebellion is when the confederacy decided slaves were more important than unity and literally attempted to form another government. There are many other examples of rebellion you can draw from history, and from fiction that all seek usurping power and wholesale replacement of the existing government. That is a whole different ballgame than harassing some cosplaying nazis that are overstepping the bounds of civility and getting butthurt that people aren’t licking their boots.



  • Extraordinary rendition is absolutely illegal, especially when it is done without due process and against a court’s order such as the case of Garcia or the dozens of other people flown to CECOT. “Just following orders” isn’t a defense. And I’m sorry to say, but as a federal law enforcement officer, they specifically chose to put themselves and their families on the line for their country. That’s why they are paid and trained and supplied with all manner of paramilitary equipment. What cowards to hide behind masks. They should be proud of the job they are doing and be recognized for it since it is totally within the confines of the law, right? And even more so, to hide behind their families’ “safety” as if that absolves them from their shit behavior. No masks for law enforcement. They are public servants and must follow the law.



  • is by definition a rebellious act.

    This is conflating “rebellious” with a rebellion. Rebellion is an uprising that resists and is organized against one’s government. The scale and degree matter, here. Your definition would turn any civil disobedience into a “rebellion” which is farcical on its face.




  • 10 U.S. Code § 12406 - National Guard In Federal Service

    (3): […] Orders for these purposes shall be issued through the governors of the states

    Trump specifically did not engage with Newsom in commandeering CA National Guard troops.

    18 U.S. Code § 1385 - Use of Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, and Space Force as posse comitatus

    Whoever, except in cases and under the circumstances expressly authorized by the Constitution or Act of Congress, willfully uses any part of the Army, the Navy, the Marine Corps, the Air Force, or the Space Force as a posse comitatus or otherwise to execute the laws shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than two years, or both.

    Using the military for ICE enforcement is against the law.

  • You absolutely correct. Breakdown of the law has been a problem in the US since the hard bank right into fascism. But I am way less bothered by throwing bricks at the cosplaying nazis and way more bothered by the unitary executive bullshit. We should have a president, which should be a glorified administrator working for the legislature. Not a king that ignores the law. If we need to burn some of the oligarchy’s shit to remind the orange asshole of this, so be it.
