No need to do all these mental backflips trying to justify the basis of this imo.

These statutes existed long before he was ever elected though. I only knew about them because I had to research all that **** when I had to write a paper about the history of foreign aid for the UAE, Egypt and other parts of the Middle East. There's decades of history about all the cash we hand out.

Ja the fascist state of the presidency was set in motion by FDR then exponentially increased by basically every president thereafter if you look at it outside of the 24 hour news cycle.

One of my old instructors told the class that he thought Teddy Roosevelt was the "last real American President", but when a student asked him who he'd vote for he said "Colin Powell".

I think when Obama and the Dems let the republicans bully them by not allowing obama his Supreme Court pick (Merrick Garland) that’s going to be understood as the first of a series of events that led to a situation much more disastrous than where we’re at now. There’s times when you have to fight and that was one of them and we didn’t. We acted like pussies and pussies get ****ed. We literally should’ve burnt DC to the ground.

You can always dig deeper but if our future fascism is punk rock not getting that pick was the stooges.
