Remember when executive overreach was a thing?

Journal by DeathMonkey

Well the good news is that most congresscritters do, and Trump's fake-ass emergency was rejected.

41 Republican Senators and 182 Republican House Representatives, on the other hand, just proved how completely full of crap they are.

    History is not Runaway's strong suite. In fact, Runaway has no strong suite. But as for the analogy, you should have learned that it is never too early to oppose tyranny, Sulla! Empires never fall from external causes like hordes of barbarians, they rot from the inside, when they allow corrupt idiots to seize power and hold endless rallies, when formerly brave citizens become cowardly and afraid of barbarians to the extent they would imprison women and children, and seek to build a wall, like the Vallum Hadriani.

    No, Runaway, the United States has already failed. It has lost its principles of equality and justice that made it what it was, and now consists of fools in MAGAot hats who watch Fox News. Quite sad, actually.
