Guerilla warfare is incredibly effective. The only thing that has a chance of overcoming it is coordinated national military might, and even then its a shitshow.

Seeing as the military is at about a 45/55 liberal/conservative split, with the majority of officers being liberal, they dont even have that on lockdown.

Popular vote dont get you shit here.

She lost the race in swing states where "independents" choose the winner. If she had been "John Clinton," with every single bit of the politcal baggage and none of the sexist baggage, I guarantee she would have cleared that 80k vote hurdle in those 3 states.

America is sexist as fuck. Just having a woman running for President will cost the Dems more "independents" than Biden ever will.

This is a good point. So the main stalls the supreme court has are to take the case and issue the opinion on the last possible day of the term like this one, and then find that whatever it was fell onto the broad immunity.

Any "official order" of the president is lawful now. As commander in chief of the military, he can indeed "officially order" drone strikes on US soil. The soldier following that will be following a lawful order. The UCMJ will not apply.

SCOTUS can decline any case silently, with no justification. They can decide to not decide, ceding all power to the new American king if they like.

The military now have to murder americans if the the president says so, because he said so. That core check on tyranny, the military's ability to refuse an unlawful order, was wiped away by this supreme court.

Soldiers swear an oath to the Constitution to not commit illegal orders, regardless of who orders them.

The issue is that the president cant issue illegal orders anymore. Since hes the commander in chief of the military, his orders are an "official act," i.e constitutional.

The supreme court has said that the president can order military executions of anyone at all and the military can no longer legally refuse. The above is constitutional, because the people who decide what is constitutional said it is.

The previous trump admin got its entire judicial appointment list from the heritage foundation, including supreme court nominees.

The plan also has has 100s of offical endorsements from GOP orgs and previous Trump appointees, including many who will likely have official roles in a new admin.

They are 100% interlinked, no matter what weak distancing the campaign tries to do because the fascist project is polling badly.

33% of payment on project start, 66% of payment on demonstration of final product, 100% payment on hand over.

Worst case you get 66% of your payment. Make sure 66% is enough to make the project profitable.

Clear contracts are also important. Fuck you, pay me.

Im all for it leaving them up. Seeing a 15ft tall skeleton wearing a pride flag as a cape is a hoot and a half.
