    A leader who uses military force to suppress his political opposition ought to lose the right to govern.

    Absolutely. Just like this fellow and his friends.

    No argument. But who is going to remove him? SCOTUS empowered him. Congress does his bidding (when it does anything at all). Who’s left? The military? Do we really want a military takeover of the federal government?

      The only pattern that can work is to elect only Democrats in the mid-term so he can be ousted via impeachment

        lmao dems had 4 years to do something, anything at all.

        They waited over 2 years to begin court proceedings, ensuring there was plenty of room for Trump to delay and evade justice.

        Dems will not save us bud, sadly they’re just not interested. They’ll gladly tell you what you want to hear and collect your $28 though.

        You still think the Democrats are on your side? There are a few who have stood up for what’s right, but the majority of them are complicit.

        The turnout Saturday was encouraging, at least, though I haven’t yet seen the over-under on flippable seats that will be up for reelection.

    Ought, but when someone has a monopoly on violence. Whose going to enforce it against the person with the monopoly?
