Without a single shot fired

this is what I cannot fathom. That Russia will take control of a foreign power that possesses the most lethal force in the world without a single shot being fired. The current leader of said nation has full immunity and a duty to protect the constitution. The person replacing him has clearly sided with an enemy of the state and this leader is going to politely step aside and let it all happen. I had so much faith in the American people, and I am at a loss to comprehend how such a force can die politely and quietly.

I pray our leaders will be different.

He had to have the Constitution read to him after declaring, "Some of these words are too hard".

This is not a joke, it came from three sources in the Oval Office.

...best words."

He doesn't seem to know very many words, because he says the same shit over, and over, and over. Pretty much a one trick pony.

Make that a one trick jackass.

NEW YORK — The leader of a conservative think tank orchestrating plans for a massive overhaul of the federal government in the event of a Republican presidential win said that the country is in the midst of a “second American Revolution” that will be bloodless “if the left allows it to be.”

How the ACLU terms Project 2025:

Project 2025 is a federal policy agenda and blueprint for a radical restructuring of the executive branch authored and published by former Trump administration officials in partnership with The Heritage Foundation, a longstanding conservative think tank that opposes abortion and reproductive rights, LGBTQ rights, immigrants’ rights, and racial equity. Project 2025’s largest publication, “Mandate For Leadership,” is a 900-page manual for reorganizing the entire federal government agency by agency to serve a conservative agenda.

I term it "Mein Kampf for MAGA":

Going from what I've read on DU of late, I'm sure the Supreme Court will protect us not.

Unbelievable that so many -- despite the record -- assume the Constitution will protect them after January 20, 2025 from the very people who in word and deed have declared themselves enemies of the Constitution.
