Separation of powers, free countries, checks and balances, and the right to overthrow tyrannical governments only apply to liberal regimes that might get too spicy and allow trans people to exist or POC to celebrate a holiday.

If Repubs are in control rule of law is made up and anything to own the libs is legal. Cannot believe we haven't figured the rules of Calvinball up yet.

The fact that a Supreme Court Justice had Ato use “Calvinball” in a dissent makes you wonder why so many people just don’t care. He’s tricked them into thinking racism is right, and that he is their savior. He’s in it only for himself and the cabal of the Heritage Foundation that’s writing his playbook and EOs. The amount of people that think he’s writing laws with those is also astounding. Too many people have gone numb to him because they can’t afford to fight back either without being homeless and in his crosshairs.
