    The question sounds like a joke because the laws are long dead, but isn’t it illegal to do? Like, he’s not supposed to be able to even do it.

      Congress has refused to do anything for a decade or so in an attempt to push more power to the executive branch.

      I still wonder how there is no big resistance already in US… Maybe organisation needs some time?
      How can you just continue living while your country gets converted into a dictatorship?
      So strange

        Biden doubled child poverty with a penstroke and took 20 million people of medicaid but it takes trump halting the arming of a nazi army for petty reasons for you to wonder where the resistance is.

        Please go back to brunch.

          Hu? I mean, like the flaws of the US “democracy” are now so obviously visible, and yet, it seems no one is really resisting. Or do I miss something?

        At least half the population buys into the “fake news” shit about how Trump never did anything wrong and all of this is somehow making more jobs for Americans. I’m not kidding. I have this argument too often. I don’t know what to do about it. It’s so frustrating and depressing.

        When people are just miserable enough to not have energy to do anything esle but survive, but not miserable enough to have nothing to lose, they can’t self-organise for shit, and that’s a very exploitative human characteristic.

        You do nothing, which is easy.

        Sigh, where to begin. Maybe check back in 30-90 days after social security payments start coming up missing…By then they will either fight or die on the streets homeless. I am just young enough to survive working till I die like our feudal crypto overlords demand.
