One cool thing is how, within 6 months of Trump becoming President, DC & Maryland sued because he was obviously breaching the Constitution and then the federal courts sandbagged the case for four years then dismissed it as moot when he left office.

not funny reminder: the magats want to crash the economy assuming quite possibly correctly that low-info reactionary americans will do the usual dumbassery of voting for whoever isn’t in power, flicking the switch back and forth and ignoring what that actually does
