Yeah that's for countries that don't respect democracy, not.... Oh nevermind.

I'm not sure the last time I saw the phrase international observers offhand (I am sure it's happened but just missed it) but they are definitely needed in that country. They seem to be degrading themselves to third world, in function if not by cold war meaning.

Statements like this make me think you haven't been paying attention.

But not just anyone.... The court said he couldn't fire that guy from the fed, cause that's clearly the only important thing that the president needs oversight on /s. Despite the fact that he's destroying the economy other ways. It's all fucking ridiculous

Yeah we in the rest of the world call that a "dictatorship" m'dudes.

Was there always a lack of repercussions to illegal actions or were administrations playing nice for the most part?

I'm guessing like with other actions some federal judge will ask to reinstate them when it's far too late

It was a lot easier to believe the illusion before the Orange Don.

It would be incredible and one hell of a historic moment if the Orange Pedophile's reign, which has exposed all our system's flaws, actually resulted in us plugging those holes and updating our political machine to prevent this all from happening again.

But the bottom line is that would require voter action and Americans are dogshit stupid.

i think it's so funny how americans think they live in a democracy

Not just any 'ol democracy, but the bestest one ever!!1!!

Seems petty on the surface, but doesnt that leave the democrats able to apply for unemployment, while the Republicans can't because they resigned?

If anyone has the chance to kill him, they should absolutely kill him.

I know that probably violates some terms of use or whatever, but it is my political opinion and is based on established American political thoery.

Probably how it's working out for Russian citizens.

We're a pretty stupid and servile society of people. I don't see that going well for us going forward.

JFC, you are so behind the times. The fact that you are getting upvotes is scary. Obviously, many people don't know that American life as they know it, was effectively destroyed a week ago.

Remember the other day, when there was all that talk about Birthright Citizenship being BARELY upheld by SCOTUS? A case that was so obvious that it NEVER should have been brought, to say nothing making it all the way to the SCOTUS, where it inexplicably had 4 votes against it?

That vote was a red herring, a distraction. The important case, the one that got 10% of the coverage of Birthright Citizenship, was the one that struck down the independence of nearly EVERY independent agency (over 2 dozen) that regulates EVERYTHING in our country. Now the president can fire anybody, in any agency, for any reason. ALL government regulation is now in the hands of Donald Trump.

That means pharmaceuticals, food, air, water, transportation safety, roads, buildings, mail, workplace safety, etc. literally EVERYTHING in this country that requires regulations to remain safe, are up to Donald Trump. So if the meat industry wants to pay off Donald Trump to loosen safety standards, he'll take the bribe, and let them write their own rules, and we'll be eating horsemeat and dogmeat labelled as beef, and it will be perfectly legal, so don't bother to sue.

BTW, the ONLY agency that SCOTUS protected was the Federal Reserve, which was the one agency Trump really wanted to get his hands on. But the Sociopathic Oligarchs who make these decisions were smart enough to keep the MONEY out of Trump's hands. They WANT him to fuck up everything else, and make our lives miserable, but they aren't going to let him fuck up THEIR money.
