"Tyranny requires your fear and your silence and your compliance. 

Democracy requires your courage." --Marc Elias

When one realizes fear is but an illusion until lack of appropriate action turns that which is feared into reality one has realized truth.

Fear is but a belief in something before it actually has happened. IOW's an illusion.

Are you really so blind that you don’t see the Trump/ Musk Regime cancelling America? They’re gutting the FAA, ffs, as well as other vital government agencies under the lie that they’re saving money. In fact they’ve cancelling for cancellin’s sake without any proof whatsoever of cost savings.

Oh, you mean like the political correctness of unilaterally renaming a body of water, then punishing an international news organization for not following Trump’s megalomania idiocy? That kind of cancelling? It’s just flipped to a cancel culture you approve of, you silly man.

I understand the President's role in our Constitutional Republic as that of a Unitary Executive. Perhaps you need to familiarize yourself with the concept and propose a Constitutional Amendment.

In other words, if Trump fails to "prove his case", you'll get your chance of replacing him at your next opportunity in 2028, or diminishing his current almost iron-clad support in 2026.

I understand there are 3 equal branches of government. And the president is NOT A KING. People who crave authoritarian daddys and need a POTUS wielding a sledgehammer and sword to smite their enemies are attracted to fascists like Trump and Musk. Enjoy your king for the moment. We who do not support kings are the majority.

Seems to me that the Left has been smugly "cancelling" people for over a decade now. Megalomania has an actual meaning, and only revealed itself many years later in the NATO expansion that started 30 years ago under Clinton and that Trump is threatening to reverse. It didn't begin with the renaming of a body of water a month ago.... although it is sometimes important to watch for changing maps.

But still Acta non Verba should be the watchwords for megalomaniacs. And not the invasions that follow 8 years after the coup.

As for that body of water...in the "acta non verba" sense, whose Navy actually controls it? But if the Mexican don't change their maps, what do I care?

The authoritarian fascist are now fully out in the open and mimicking the crazy ass bullshit their Fuhrer/King and his sidekick oligarch Musk(rat) feed their feeble minds.

Sorry skud my words are too profound for your conditioned mind and reified beliefs to grasp. Try to thaw your frozen illusions and perhaps reality will bloom for you.

Joe, no need for a constitutional amendment. Read Article II. The Unitary Executive is a fringe legal theory that has gained some traction among conservatives. The Supremes have slapped down presidents who have overstepped on the grounds of Presidential Privilege and Unitary Executive.

The lawsuits now working their way up may finally codify it with this Supreme Court. Until then, it ain't a thing.
