The guy who came up with checks and balances really overlooked only giving one branch a military
?
The United States didn't start keeping a large standing Army until after WWII!
Take a look at this from Statista for most of our history the US would build up the military for a war and then strip it back to almost nothing as soon as the fighting was over.
The original guys didn't fuck it up we allowed Congress to break it!
Well, yeah...the military is actually a welfare/jobs program. It also served a key role in culling excess boomer population before they started needing to get jobs.
That's not it. The thing is that they refused acknowledging that partisanship would evolve. They preferred to hold on to the illusion that everybody involved in office would always be altruistic and solely work for the greater good, which was laughably naive even then (as many people pointed out to them).
It wasn’t intending on having an army at all, they thought a standing army would lead to tyranny so they came up with the 2nd amendment instead so a militia could be called as needed
I heard a few times that there is this saying in English that the tree of democracy needs to be watered from time to time with the blood of tyrants or something like that. Isn't it about time for that? They do seem to be tearing down democracy.
Republicans do seem to be all about the founding fathers, so I guess they're just trying to make it possible to follow his guidance by proactively providing some tyrants.
We have power of funding over the courts and all these other things,” Johnson told reporters on Tuesday. “But desperate times call for desperate measures, and Congress is going to act.”
Indeed. The persistent hope of average Americans that some superhero will ride in from stage left and fix all of this for them is... something. It won't happen. You all need to work together on this. Everybody needs to act and fight.
A security clusterfuck involving the Secretary of Defense, the VP, and a list of other high level executive branch personnel is spilling all over the news. Even conservative news outlets are calling for heads to roll.
Mike Johnson thinks this is a good time to consider dismantling the Justice branch.
Don’t Peter Thiel and all the other amphetamine tech bros want to make cyberpunk tech cities with no laws except those of the controlling corporations on Federal land so they can test out like mind control chips and shit?
No. People like Johnson will get "advisory" positions after congress has been dissolved. They will lack for nothing. Why be a weak government official who has to do stupid shit like running for re-election, when you can be part of the nobility and the King's court? Maybe Johnson or Taylor-Green will get their own little fiefdom where they can treat the peasants however they want? The power trip fantasies are truly endless in Trump's wondrous America.
I mean I honestly don't understand why Congressman even exist anymore. I mean they've ceded all over their Authority and power to the executive branch. Mike Johnson should resign and relieve the taxpayers of the burden of his salary.
America as a country is fucked beyond repair at this point. That’s OK. Now that the rest of the world sees the truth behind this fascist empire, no one’s going to give a Nazi salute fuck about them.
Ah yes, let's eliminate one branch of the government leaving the other two free to do fuck all... Meanwhile the DNC... come join us in the sticks for a nice cozy town hall so we can explain how we're going to give away the country so Nancy Pelosi can continue to insider trade.
