Hopefully right after the elections but before January. That way he’ll live long enough to get to watch the GOP lose congress and several state legislatures/governorships (because of his uncountable failures, terrible policies, attempted treasonous autocratic takeover, and just being a fucking vile excuse for a human being) but not long enough to make JD president for less than half a term because that means he could only ever serve one more. Assuming that JD himself isn’t impeached and convicted and removed from office.

Cool features… wild name.

I… wh… sniffies?

Stephen Miller is an unabashed racist, white supremacist, and fascist who has turned his bigotry into national policy. He is a the puppeteer behind the entirety of Trump’s immigration policies. When this is over, he should be shot.

Can be, but often isn’t

The purpose is, ostensibly, to prevent some form of miscarriage of justice or an over harsh sentencing. Think the guy who they tried to charge with a felony for harmlessly throwing a sandwich at a federal officer, if they had managed to convict instead of failing to even get an indictment. Or it could also be used to retroactively forgive people convicted of breaking a law that has since been overturned. Like if they decriminalize weed possession, those already convicted while the law was in place don’t automatically get their sentences overturned.

But it is a power that should be rarely needed, judiciously applied, and have sensible guardrails on it. But the founders were confident that the people wouldnt elect self centered autocrats, that congress and the courts wouldn’t be filled with sycophants, opportunists, and cowards, and that the public wouldn’t stand for blatant corrupt uses of presidential powers. But here we are.

Frankly, if we can’t stop blatantly corrupt abuse of the pardon powers or even have basic limitations on it (like no self pardons) then that power should be amended out of the constitution.

There’s a reason Trump was on his mind at the endm

Stephen Miller has erupted at “blatant jury nullification”

Jury nullification is entirely legal and built into the American justice system. Jury decision to nullify is final and protects from unjust application of laws. Cry about it, Nazi.

…In 1993, apparently? Given the clothes, hair, and background decor.

It should be considered unconstitutional. It should be considered a violation of the 4th amendment. It should be illegal.

Which will be fuller? The drunk tank, the sti test clinic, or er?

When does the coming happen? Asking for a friend. A highly unsatisfied friend.

Edit: i just noticed how this joke might be taken. Before the unsolicited offers and pictures come rolling in, thought I should make clear that A) this was entirely a joke, a complete fabrication, and B) that I’m a dude. Please don’t send me pictures of your unimpressive dicks. I’ll post them online.

How the fuck is this reality

"White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Thursday that the president wears bandages on the back of his hand because he’s “literally constantly shaking hands.”

As if that were even a slightly reasonable explanation.

No shit. He’s a fucking Nazi in everything except maybe in name, though I wouldn’t be shocked to learn he identifies as one in private. And no, it doesn’t matter that he’s Jewish.

Frankly, things on the internet can’t really be regulated on a nation by nation basis

Why? Because sometimes the majority chooses fascists? So, of course that is always a risk, though it is a risk without the NPVIC too, clearly, and I think makes it more likely as well. But you also have to remember that the majority of voting eligible people do not vote regularly. There’s any number of reasons for that, but a major reason for it is winner-take-all states make states hard red or hard blue states. People who dont align with their states’ hard political lean justifiably feel like voting is pointless as their vote ultimately wont count towards the final decision. But if the NPVIC were in place, more people would have a good reason to turn out as their vote will actually count. And people who dont live in swing states will have to be given more concern from campaigns too.

But ultimately, it is only a bandaid for a broken system. The electoral college is bullshit and so is Plurality voting. And frankly, voting should be compulsory and accommodated at every level. Make it compulsory, implement the Approval voting system for every election (eliminating the dominance of the two party system in the process), and the competition of ideas will make one party control of each branch, and thus run-away fascism, significantly harder to achieve. But then we seem to be already well too late for that.

So it doesn’t take half the states to pass it. It only takes enough states to make up half of the electoral votes. It could actually be done with as few as 12 states if those with the most electoral votes all agreed (though that requires Texas and Florida to join the compact). But even now, there are only 17 states and DC officially joined in the compact, yet that already makes up almost 39% of electoral votes. They will need some red or purple states to join too, to reach the number of course. There’s not enough electoral votes in all the solid blue states alone. Purple state Pennsylvania, and red states Kansas and South Carolina all have bills in committee to join. Were they all to pass, they’d have 45% of the electoral college in the compact.

It’s to the benefit of hard red states too though. It will make their needs more of a priority for campaigning presidents instead of only Swing States being pandered to. The Swing states are the only ones that have a vested interest in preserving the status quo. And it’s not like Trump wouldnt be president now if the compact was triggered now (unfortunately) so it’s silly to pretend that it would prevent conservative presidencies.

No no, dont even give it that much dignity. The complainants are not asking to “block the map” too close (11 months) to elections. They are asking that the map not be illicit, unethically changed 5 years early, based off the explicit public request of the President who is not meant to have power over state election matters, with the explicitly stated intent of gerrymandering out more seats for Republicans that they “deserve” than they otherwise would have won, only 15ish months to the elections (which is apparently plenty of time). Their “reasoning” doesn’t make sense because it’s not reasoning. It’s blatant full chested support of voter suppression/disenfranchisement to bolster their party and their autocratic President. They’re so full of shit you could smell them talking from the next room over. Fuck those lying, cheating, corrupt, un-American, fascist cunts.
