frustrated

Kind of a fun loophole that our government gives individuals the ability to completely implode the democratic process for purely partisan reasons and with no reasonable mechanisms of accountability. Send the capitol police in to arrest Mike Johnson for betraying his oath of office and have the minority leader swear her in.

He certainly is. I just wonder if the criticism is not especially meaningful in this context. It often feels like we are all waiting for the other shoe to drop, but it never does.

Our military is several generations deeps of mercenaries who have only been deployed against poorly equipped civilian populations on behalf of the interests of capital (and they still lost almost every single time). There is no chance any of these people stand up to Trump let alone anything more serious.

He is only dumb if he suffers any consequences. So far, he has managed to fail upwards his entire life and avoid ever experiencing any meaningful repercussions.

The american century of humiliation is moving along apace.
