a lot of times its not even accurate because theyre not up to speed on extraconstitutional rules or conveniently leaving them out
I wonder when democrats will stop the “you just don’t understand how politics works” thing they always direct at people who criticize democratic leadership. It makes yall look ridiculous imo

This perfectly articulates the persistant crimes committed by a rouge Secretary of Defense who has turned the once-respected U.S. military into a corrupt, extrajudicial and extraconstitutional pirate / war crimes apparatus operating at the pleasure of a corrupt CIC and his goons.

Institutionalized. As in penal — at a bare minimum.
This conflict probably will go extraconstitutional in short order. Hang on to your hats.

Trump is now posting AI videos that show him hiring Russian and Chechen goons to beat up American journalists for asking questions. He should be institutionalized.

The US federal government has not been a viable system in my lifetime.
Congressional deadlock, judicial overreach, and consolidation of executive power are downstream of a broken amendment process.
I don’t think there’s any non-extraconstitutional way to avert competitive authoritarianism.

With KPD in prison and everyone else under threats from the Nazis, which would soon lead all parties to disband.
The contrast is that the semi-autocratic presidentialism from 1930 to 1933 did not involve extraconstitutional violence threats. It didn't even involve the full coup Schleicher proposed.

It had a two-thirds majority (because KPD was in prison and thus not available to vote no, and the bourgeois parties were under heavy pressure of violence to vote yes). Quite a lot of the changes in the de facto German constitution from January 1933 to August 1934 were extraconstitutional violence.

Almost 3 months, IF we win big. A lot can happen in 3 mon. Two wars can go any kind of way. Government itself can be gone.
Dems can be louder, raise hell, but unless/until extraconstitutional steps are taken in November, I doubt 3 months ever happens unless lame duck repubs decide its payback time.

Trump's an idiot with virtually unchecked extraconstitutional power, thanks to an enabling Congress and Supreme Court. But imagine when a smart person gets that job --someone who isn't wasting that power on golf courses and reflecting pools.

Yeah, that's right. Extraconstitutional remedies are for when the constitutional order itself has collapsed

Right, and there's extraconstitutional remedies (not a bad thing, necessarily: can just be the People's inalienable sovereign power waking up in response to the crumbling of the established constitutional order) but also there's non-judicial remedies even within the Constitution

Yeah, we crossed the Rubicon on this in 2021 and it was so successful that you sound like a lunatic for even claiming it happened, which it did, albeit as part of an extraconstitutional triumvirate that drew two of its three primaries from democratically elected officials representing both parties.

Apropos of nothing, via the book Raven Rock, on secret Cold War US government plans to run the country after a nuclear war, if an extraconstitutional alternate chain of military command ever has to be set up, the new “POTUS” could show to adversaries they’re in charge by ordering a sub to surface.

I missed the part where Capone tried to make America racially pure by giving armed thugs extraconstitutional power to round up people of color and migrants and herd them into concentration camps.

Sadly, I have to agree with him that there is almost 100% certainty of this happening. And once the Democrats take the presidency back, the corrupt SCOTUS will suddenly discover that there are restraints on the POTUS and will claw back all the extraconstitutional powers they granted their boy.

We only have answers to these questions to the extent that precedent holds and people follow rules they've always followed. Will they?
