    No. Fucking. Shit.

    The complete collapse of one of the three real legs of the US government. The president was not intended to be more than a figurehead, because the founding fathers thought the populous would lose their shit if they didn’t have “king.” What a terrible decision. The real triad were supposed to be the House, Senate, and Judiciary. Nobody’s surprised when there president goes off the rails, but losing the judiciary to radicals? That’s fucked. We’re fucked.

    Yeah, I know my interpretation of what the founding fathers really intended doesn’t have much to back it up. Still, the Supreme Court now going against all previous courts and outright ignoring precident is really, really fucked up.

      Yeah, you don’t have too much to back it up, if only there were some gigantic and wordy document to tell us this stuff in plain English. Alas, you probably only read the Constitution or something which clearly doesn’t count 🤷‍♀️

      /s, a big heaping helping of /s because if I don’t cackle madly about it all I’ll cry and rage and I’m tired
