No, it assumes that they will give a shit what the court says if they rule against them.

No it doesn’t slow them down. They will do the fucking thing anyway. Why do you think they’d stop just because they used the wrong wording?

Who the fuck is going to stop them?

You’re acting like this is still a country of law and order.

This exactly. It’s disconcerting to see how many people seem to be laughing this off.

They have zero interest in logic and consistency. We know what they mean, the actual words they used don’t matter.

It’s fun to think about the hypotheticals, but the reality here is that it does not matter the exact words in the EO. We know what they mean, and they won’t let some silly technicality stop them.

Anyone who thinks this shit is funny is in for a rude awakening.

They do not fucking care. They will use this the exact same way that they would have used it if it was worded correctly.

You don’t get out on technicalities in fascism; if the autocrat in charge wants to do the thing, he will do it. All of these things will be used as cudgels against perceived political enemies, and marginalized US citizens.

Knowing reddit moderators, they probably just encountered someone from those instances that disagreed with them that one time.

You forgot about the Linux memes

A non-vote, when fascism is on the ballot, is a vote for fascism.

Accepting the pardon actually requires admitting to the crime.

I don’t think this is true anymore. This used to be the general consensus (never tested), but I’m pretty sure that stopped being the case after Trump 1

I don’t care, and frankly don’t blame him.

This is some real DARVO shit right here…

“You’re making me hurt you”

Right, but is that really surprising, is what I mean…

Is it?

Does anything make any sense? I mean, let’s be real here…

Don’t try to stop me this time, Smee… Smee?

It’s ok to admit that your initial comment was perhaps made in haste, and you’ve since realized that you were wrong.

We’re all adults here (presumably), and I think most of us here would appreciate the honesty. It’s ok to be wrong… And it’s even better to learn that you were wrong, and have a chance to remedy that.

Doubling down on something you know is bullshit just to save face is dumb. Who cares?

Probably Kamala again.

NOW is the time to change this. Do not waste it.

They need to protect her at all costs, because they will kill her.

This isn’t like a threat or a joke or something.

Look at Fred Hampton.

Look at MLK. Look at Malcolm…

Look at RFK. The original. The dad. No brain worm (that we know about). Side note, there’s an HBO documentary series about RFK that’s fantastic. He was one of the good ones. Things might have turned out very different if not for Sirhan^2. Fucking tragedy.

I truly fear for AOC.

Really? No more renewables, no more restrictions on drilling, etc.

Holding former government employees responsible for unlawful disclosiure of sensitive information.

Wow. Do I even need to point out the hypocrisy here?
