I say that the executive branch has not been given the power to create laws or judge whether or not they are legal... but that seems to be what his administration has unilaterally decided is true now.

The laws are on the books. They should be implemented in good faith by the executive branch. This is not being done.

This is either a gaslighting thing or a "clock is correct 2x/daily" thing. It's not sincere in respect to them doing anything about it, for sure.

now that we’ve gained power, it’s time to lock the door behind us

Yet I'm sure his investments in it have done very well for him.

I'll drink to that

However I feel like the actions to stop that will be so much worse

He wears too much eye makeup. My sister wears too much. People think she’s a whore. I think JD Vance is a whore.
