    I understand why it is this way, but I hate that journalists act like nobody knew this would happen. They act like Occupy & BLM never happened. Like millennials haven’t been dismissed as weak for complaining about the state of things for DECADES. If you didn’t see this coming, you probably deserve for it to feel like a surprise.

    The constitutional crisis was yesterday. It’s already decomposing in the septic tank.

        Yeah and trumps first administration was another although that one we basically passed by the skin of our teeth. This term is beyond crises as we have a series of constitutional crisis failures that is tearing apart our whole system. Even if somehow we buck this it will be a constitution taped back together and will never be the same.

    Is this a slowpoke meme?

    Is this tonight’s top story on the Nightly Olds?

    Maybe it could be a headline in an oldspaper?

    There’s a better one-liner there, but I’m not sure what it is.

    The constitutional crisis started 25 years ago when the Americans didn’t revolt when the corrupt supreme court stole the election for George W. Bush.

            it isn’t talked about enough but we’re all calendar challenged. timekeeping in the modern sense is unnatural and is a significant contributor to stress in the Western lifestyle. the clock is the single greatest tool of oppression ever invented. you just can’t talk about it bc the moment you do even other leftists might start calling you a lazy chud.
