Saving this for the eventual declaration of martial law.
It really is amazing how you can look at this and think that we're not headed into full on authoritarianism.
Fuck. He’s white. He’s just from PR.
I dunno. As a UF law grad I’m not too particularly proud of its fan base or current administration. Kind of two sides of the same coin.
What frustrates me about all of this is the framing of the problem. R's claim that the D's refused to agree to a clean funding bill. They were short, what, 6 or 7 senators (with the Nevada D senator and hoodie from PA voting for it plus maybe one more)? Didn't the D senators propose their own bill which had 46 or 47 in favor? Why couldn't 13 or 14 senators compromise and vote for that to keep the government open?
The D's bowed to the R's back in the spring. They voted to keep the government open on the expectation that R's would come to the table to negotiate other issues. What happened instead is that they got steamrolled and the BBB was passed. Capitulation as a precurser to negotiation never ends well.
Or you could put Jefferson, John Hancock, or one of a number of any other founding fathers on heads and the Declaration of Independence of the picture of the signers on tails.
But, fuck all that. Let's ignore federal law and go with a living, sitting president rather than limiting currency to deceased or mythical people.
