  • “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.



  • 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.
