YumandaOrg 09/27/21 3:58:29 AM #4:	Dude, we voted for Donald Trump in 2016. Everybody knew that once he was in the White House he was never going to say "Oh, okay, I lost, I'll see myself out". We voted for all this crap, and we got what we voted for. Welcome to America. The GOP is not even a political party anymore, it is a federation of rich white people who have purchased Senators and Housefolk and told them "Go out there and say you are a Republican and just vote No on everything". We got what we voted for, so whatever. I'm so tired of all these Opinion articles about the "crisis" and all this crap. We knew what we were getting into voting for a guy who has never heard "No" in his entire life. --- Lufia...Breath of Fire...Final Fantasy...Chrono Trigger...KOTOR...Secret of Mana... <cite>YumandaOrg posted [p:958456105] in "Our ...

We knew what we were getting into voting for a guy who has never heard "No" in his entire life. we had a choice. Once he was out, every single shady character associated with the failed insurrection should have been investigated and dealt with according to the law, at least the obvious cases such as the idiots seen on tape saying trial by combat and fight like youve never fought before and this is what happens when you steal an election. that would have prevented people from trying it again. instead these losers are free and plotting a second try, its really stupid. --- Woof! <cite>DogOfPeace posted [p:958460334] in "Our ...

Questionmarktarius 09/27/21 10:44:30 AM #18:	Under Article 2, as written, the president was supposed to be elected via state legislatures instead of a popular vote, and wasn't very important anyway. In the meantime, we've grossly bloated the executive branch into a non-legislative lawmaking body, and expanded the role of the president into a nigh-dictator only limited by any benevolence of whoever is the president at any given moment. <cite>Questionmarktarius posted [p:958461726] in "Our ...
