Anecdotally, they were treated better in Nazi Germany than 30’s America.

Because they were US citizens. While the US has some pretty... ugly history. If you think Nazi Germany would have treated a random black citizen better than what they got in the US you are absolutely delusional. The only reason they weren't sent to camps with the Jews was because the population was deemed too insignificant to be worth the effort.

“Hey! You can’t do that! That very clearly violates Constitutional law.”

“Oh, yeah? What are you going to do about it?”

(checks Constitution) “Oh…uhhh. I guess nothing?”

Impeachment, that's what they'd do about it. But that would require politicians who do their job and also uphold the constitution. If the question is: what happens when everyone involved breaks the law and doesn't do their job?

The answer is one of two things: the people vote them out.

If they are voted out but refuse to cede power peacefully, we end up with violence.

Nothing about the checks and balances are broken, what's broken is the percentage of the population that just doesn't care their representative isn't actually doing their job.

Let me guess: "but just the ones Pam Bondi finds credible".

Shockingly you won't find a single republican on Trump ally on the list because those aren't credible....

There's 0 chance Johnson is going against Trump, this is all theater so when Trump's name magically isn't connected to Epstein they can pretend like it's a legitimate list.

Grovel and beg for forgiveness after actively cutting NOAA budget? Personally drive a truck full of food/water/clothing for people displaced? Literally just show up and offer your condolences to your contituents (regardless of how obviously fake it'd be)?

Like, basic human things you should be doing to show that you care about the people you supposedly represent? Vs: fuck it, I'm on vacation, they'll still be dead when I get home.

Guess what: politicians for all their grand standing about lazy entitled welfare recipients work about 130 total days a year, he can go see the parthenon some other time.

You say that as a joke... I could see Trump hopping on that train. Truth Social - worth at LEAST $200B, which the government will pay direclty to Trump as compensation for making the platform the national social media platform of America.

So... don't connect the suspect inverters to the internet? It's not like they have a magical sattelite link that can't be blocked...

hydrogen-powered high performance.

It will literally never make it onto the streets in the US.

To be fair, out of all the billionaires they at least have made attempts to not make their kids shiteheads which is in stark contrast to most billionaires. At one point in time at least, they were only leaving $10m to each child, with plans to donate everything else.

Is that enough to live better than 99.99% of us? Absolutely. But it's also not: I can do whatever I want and buy whatever I want and never have to think about money again.

Why is the walking buddy holding hands? Are they letting you know Kevin is single and ready to mingle?

Don't worry guys, he "saved them" by eliminating subsidies for EVs. That fad is clearly going away, and by gutting the American auto industry's ability to grow their EV market share, we'll clearly be poised for global dominance. Obviously the rest of the world LOVES smog and HATES silent/emissions free vehicles and will FLOCK to ICE cars that are priced the same as Chinese EVs.

Did someone prevent you from voting in the primaries? Or running in the primaries if you didn't like the people running?

The candidates don't just magically appear on the ballot. What you're complaining about is "the majority of people didn't want something as progressive as I did so it was duress".

"I'm not getting my way so it's not fair" resonates about as much as "the election was stolen because my guy didn't win". Do you have the right to not vote at all? Sure. But then don't say a fucking thing when the world around you is collapsing becuase the other guy is inifnitely worse than what you were too proud or stubborn to vote for.

Progressives who refuse to vote for a moderate because "compromise is a four letter word" are as bad or worse than the tea party morons who started the republican party down the path of fascism.
