      States rights are only for conservative states. Blue states don’t have any rights. Everybody knows that.

          JRR Tolkien had smeagol a chance at redemption, but Sam blew it. There’s a yt video about it, if anyone cares to look.

        I think Miller is more a mix of Joseph Goebbels and Wormtongue, both sycophants seeking to advance on the backs of others.

        Smeagol was basically a good guy until he was enchanted by evil. Miller brings evil with him.

          I think of Miller as more like Himmler, which is why I call him PeeWee Himmler. Bannon is more analogous to Goebbels.

          Goebbels was on the propaganda side, while Himmler was on the Final Solution side.

      The law doesn’t matter unless the president says it does. We can disagree but it doesn’t matter until he is removed.

      EOs are far more powerful because they trigger actual action by federal agencies.

      It may not be how we learned it in Social Studies, but this is the streets.

    This is how civil conflicts start, BTW. Will the fascist side find an opposing force? I wonder.

    It’s somewhat hyperbolic to say a lot on the right are actual nazis, but this dude is the most neo-Nazi motherfucker and deserves everything that should come to Nazis.

    Didn’t Stephen Miller’s wife leave him for fElon?

    Guy must be so angry that she considered him to be worse than a populist shill bag

    He probably had an authoritarian boner typing that

    What a shithead, we’ve fought rebellions in this country over goddamn stamps and whiskey, and they really imagine material conditions are good enough that this sort of behavior will be tolerated amidst their ill advised trade war?

      Yeah, the last time a rebellion happened, it was to reinstate full blown fascism, and what few concessions were pissed away because we got too comfortable, and when that wore off everyone was too soft to venture anything, with a few notable exceptions.

      Let me be devil’s advocate here for a sec.
      Yes it is. Unless a federal law breaks any federal law, international laws, treaties or human rights its latterly the highest level of law in a democratic country in this modern world.

      (And also, i agree with the major. If your community thrives or immigrants fills gaps in the community then fucking let them. Your community is better for it)

        The feds are breaking the law but my compatriots by and large have given them a pass.

        Federal law in USA is supposed to cover mostly commerce and interstate matters (and enforcement of constitutional rights) and what the states allow the federal government to manage. The federal gov is created as a contract between the states and a delegation of power from them.

        So no. It’s kinda unusual in that way too, compared to other countries formed from multiple states.

          Suppose and what is in its power is a different thing. Imo federal law, just like eu law, should be law that all members must implement but should only be made for the better of the population as a whole, no matter their origins, social status, living status or whatever. Humanity goes first (oh no! Socialism aaaahhhh!! /s). One could say that those laws are interstate matters btw :p

          But has usa really been setup for federal level laws to mean… Nothing for the states and its people…?

        Fortunately, there already are quite a lot of laws limiting federal power, so maybe stop agreeing with the fascists as they rewrite reality by fiat

      Wrong argument: he’s literally citing the supremacy clause.

      A better argument would be that same constitution prohibits violation of limits on federal power, especially the bill of rights, enumerated powers, judicial review.
