if you did not know that the president now has unlimited authority to order the ATF or DHS or the FBI to execute your best friend for any reason and can then order the DOJ not to prosecute then, you can blame every fucking columnist who has written a piece about biden’s age since monday
if i didn't know any better, i would think this was a coordinated effort with sulzbuger, leo et al and the fab fascists of SCOTUS...
tho, they've probably never met...
I think the most likely scenario we will see under Trump in this vein is mass kidnappings of suspected illegal immigrants and homeless. Traditionally this sort of power is used against those with the least power, and they probably won't jump to murder first
trump could order the army — not the national guard, but the fucking army — to roll tanks down my street, or your street or every fucking street in america, on whatever “official act” premise he wanted and it would be legal. this is not hyperbole. it also isn’t a concern for columnists.
The columnists are the far smaller part of the problem: it's the fucking editors and publishers of the national dailies that are wallpapering the front pages with Biden's age, and "SCOTUS made a decision: Pg. A18" in the lower right corner
