Tuberville, for one

This is one of Trump’s humiliation rituals, this time for Senators. They’ll either accept and participate in the ritual, or Trump will run them out of the party.

Part of this will be tempered by the fact that a lot of these will go through the recess appointment process. The Senate won’t be able to prevent this even if they wanted to. It’s up to Johnson or whoever ends up being speaker of the House.

The red state police (like state troopers), red city police, county sheriffs, and any number of federal agencies under homeland security and DOJ.

There plenty of personnel available to make the lives of people here both legally and illegally miserable. And remember, the misery is the point.

Directly capturing and imprisoning / deporting only 5% of this population would make a huge impact on inflicting misery and fear.

As far as what people will and won’t do when given orders, almost nobody in this country who works full time has any safety net or nest egg. If you decide to quit your job on principle, many people are less than 6 months away from eviction. That makes it very difficult to stand your mortal ground without solidarity. Blue regions might develop that solidarity. In red regions, seems less likely.

Only the current generation of trees. The previous generations that have been broken down into soil are mostly not going back into the atmosphere as co2

They’re not going to cast votes. This will all be done with recess appointments, and all of these “concerned” senators will “express their concerns” with the exploitation of the recess appointment process and lament that there was nothing they could do about it.

They had really hoped that Mr. Trump would cooperate with the advice and consent process, but what can they do if he pursues the recess route? It really is too bad and all of that.

Elizabeth Warren had a great reaction about how the department of waste reduction has two leaders and apparently needs two people to do one job.

This is bullshit, you made no mention of golf anywhere.

I think “habitual liar” would be fair.

Why would there be term limits?

Did you miss the part where he said he got $100 in tips?

Australia is a magical place, after all.

I dont think they cut much, just one charge and most (all?) references to the Department of Justice. Indictment went from 46 down to 35 pages, still carries 6 charges. A new grand jury considered it and voted to indict. Nothing about this sequence of events indicates this is a weak case.

I personally wouldn’t want a federal indictment of 36 pages against me.

Meh, not really. Control 51 seats in the Senate and a majority of the supreme Court and you can do pretty much whatever the fuck you want to as president. We have not yet found the boundary where a president will be held accountable under those conditions.
