      Regardless of Putin invading Ukraine being illegal, and Israel genociding Palestinians being illegal, and pretty much everything Trump has done in 2025 being illegal, I have faith that the rule of law will miraculously apply in this situation for some reason.

      His ability to enforce a “block this state law” instruction is one of those things which might actually be limited by the law.

        All of what he’s doing is limited by law, but nobody cares enough to enforce it. All leftist judges and politicians are in it for their own skin, minus a very small sliver. They have only words to offer instead of real action. We’ve let money and safety become our new Gods. America has no sense of identity or unity and until we figure that out we’re on a downward trajectory. All of us pleebs are in for a rude awakening.

          They’re mostly constrained by not having the votes in Congress or the Supreme Court to actually do anything. That’s why we get words and protests from them instead of meaningful action.

            You’re extending an olive branch to our ineffectual old, white, lawyer, elitist Dems? Interesting strategy. We’ll see how that pays off. I’m all for it in reality. The tower needs to fall before we can rebuild it. It won’t be pretty, but as each day passes seems more and more necessary.
