President Donald Trump has signed a presidential memorandum deploying 2,000 National Guardsmen to disperse protests over immigration activity in the Los Angeles area, the White House said in a statement Saturday night.
Oh, that happened the instant the SCOTUS declared the president above the law and Biden didn’t say “fuck you, idiots”, fire all the justices who ruled in favor of that decision at gunpoint, appoint all new justices in their place, and then declare that ruling void by fiat. If you’re about to say “the president can’t do that”, the SCOTUS declared the president above the law, he actually can.
It was really hard to watch. SCOTUS created this monster executive with unlimited and almost unchecked powers, Biden declared that Trump was a danger to democracy itself, and then… crickets. It was heart-breaking that he didn’t even try to curb the limits of power of the Presidency by doing something SCOTUS was going to rule against, handing the next administration everything.
It genuinely goes back to Nixon and Goldwater. This is all an evolution of the southern strategy. Get enough people to vote for one thing and everything else is on the menu. (Also, convincing people to not vote at all goes hand in hand with this. Looking at you, protest voters.)

Well, to be fair, he did issue a bunch of flimsy ass pardons for his closest friends and family, he just didn’t do anything to help the rest of us.
Sigh, I so wish you were wrong…
Really? I think it was when they installed Bush in 2000.
