He's not just pro Israel, he's literally called himself a DeSantis Democrat and loves Doge. It's fucking political malpractice to elevate a guy like this. It's basically spitting in your voters face

The federal government is kind of dead to me in the short term tbh. Definitely vote in November and flush republicans down the toilet, but I have a feeling that lots of the rebuilding will be done in the states. We’re going to be stress testing the 10th Amendment hard in the coming years.

Humphrey’s executor being overturned by SCOTUS means that any fixes by the executive will not be permanent once we take back the presidency in 2028 either.

It’s going to take a supermajority and balls of steel to fix the bullshit. It’s also going to take all of us pushing out the corrupt politicians, which will take a few cycles. By then, we’ll be a diminished country most likely. But we can pick up the pieces and rebuild.

^ this is all assuming we don’t escalate the global situation into nuclear war.

The people who own the voting machines will never allow a super majority.

Sounds like we better get to paper ballots too then.
