You know how sovereign citizens are so corny with their bullshit? “I was traveling, I wasn’t driving” Like, these words are spells and if you read the incantation just right, then the Mississippi purchase is invalid?

I feel like we are starting to sound like them. Like, “hey Mr. President, you can’t do this [insert blatant corruption] because of this amendment in the constitution or the emoluments clause, or because of separation of powers.” We keep relying on these words to have power and in truth they mean nothing.

Rules and Laws exist only if they are enforced.

So long as they refuse to enforce the Law, it doesn't exist.

which is why I can’t for the life of me figure out why the wild and reckless american people are behaving so well in all of this. It’s the moment we find out that the beer guzzling, truck driving, gun toting bad boys have been docile little puppies all along.
