This is basically the bike cuck comic except replace “bike” with “election” and “happiness” with “legitimacy”.
I’ll take an actually legitimate election over deep state vs. controlled opposition volume 24, thanks.
Even if in theory you can get into a closed loop where the people in power use their power to stay in power, that is not currently the case in reality.
Yes it is. The deep state is in power and will forever be in power unless someone can fire 3/4 of the federal government which is impossible due to lawfare. The bureaucracy is a self-sustaining cancer at this point.

one-way ticket to banana republic land.
We’re already there, man. You’re just on the side of the republic.

People who defy court orders end up in prison for contempt.
Sometimes. It often depends who’s doing the defying.
Had Bill Ayers defied a court order, he would have been jailed for contempt.
My word! Well it’s a good thing he only committed a bombing campaign and didn’t defy a court order! Seems like bombing, looting, and burning the possessions of normies isn’t too big of a deal but god help you if you cross a lawyer…
Getting upset because Kim Davis was put in prison for contempt for refusing to comply with a court order is asking that she receive preferential treatment.
I won’t deny this. My rules applied unfairly > your rules applied unfairly and all that. In my view one side has gotten preferential treatment for quite a while now and excuse me if I find it a bit hard to believe you wouldn’t be a little upset if the shoe were on the other foot. I believe that we both want someone’s rules applied fairly but it’s been a while since that’s been the case in my eyes.

Obergefell is the poster child for legislating from the bench. That’s not the job my tax dollars pay the judicial branch to do. Defying the constitution is fine, but I guess defying a court order is just a bridge too far.
I don’t care much for the dissident discussion, it’s just semantics. I’d say she was definitionally a “dissident”, and she was jailed for it. But Bill Ayers is also a “dissident”. The difference in their treatment at the hands of The Law is very instructive.

I see little functional difference between “not doing something you’re supposed to” and “doing something you’re not supposed to” other than the placement of the “not”. These sorts of semantic differences are the playground of lawyers though so I don’t expect to make any headway.

But she was not free to refuse to do the job that the taxpayers pay her to do
This is incredibly common, see public sector unions, SCOTUS justices legislating from the bench, etc. I’m fine if “throw them in jail” becomes the typical response but we know it won’t.

So Clinton shouldn’t have been indicted/gone to jail because her lawyers were better and/or she trusted them more? These sorts of arguments, especially coming from one of our resident lawyers, do nothing to make the right’s opinions of our legal system any better.

Good luck stopping/restraining a knife-wielder without being stabbed. Guns are functionally illegal in NY so no luck there either.

Progressive minorities (on social media at least) are some of the most viciously racist (against whites) people you’ll find today. I doubt more time to soak in progressivism will solve that.

Unfortunately “don’t spend taxpayer dollars” is a losing proposition, especially when many voters don’t even contribute any taxpayer dollars.

Bringing attention to the subject has the potential to save taxpayer dollars in the long run.

Is there anything stopping Abbot from just pardoning DeSantis in the event they actually try to charge him with anything relating to Texas state law?
This lawfare crap is getting really old. I’ve lost most all respect I had for “the law” in the past half decade (I already had none for lawyers).
A vote for Trump is a vote for such a gunfight. I would not personally shoot the thief stealing my bike only because I would get lawfared to death over it (look at Trump, the analogy gets even better). Though I personally have no issue with the thief being killed or the election fraud enablers being thrown in jail/removed from their posts/pilloried in the town square.
