Laffy

Via Elie Mystal:

One of the problems with the lawsuits is gonna be that the “policy” is going to change, daily, hourly even. It already has, today.

It’s hard to sustain a lawsuit against the premise of the thing when the facts of the thing change every minute.

@GottaLaff
Some of that will be deliberate, and some of that will be because the some of people making policy are idiots.

@GottaLaff

Interesting

I wonder if that's a deliberate strategy

Given the glacial pace of civil law proceedings, if you change the wording and the effect of the policy every few days will that trigger an endless stream of revised filings?

@GottaLaff Democrats need to be out yelling "illegal government shut down" from every high tower so the public understands why things are grinding to a halt.

@GottaLaff

Like ketchup dripping down a wall, so are the policies of our lives.

Fucking assholes.

@GottaLaff It’s hard to sustain anything in chaos. I can only imagine how unstable other countries are right now that rely on us.

@DEDGirl And soon we'll have no allies, other than Russia, N Korea, Iran, and China.

@GottaLaff Understandably and horrifically true. 😔

@GottaLaff @DEDGirl As an Australian, I fear our government will be a sycophantic ally to the US till the end.

We have an election due within the next few months. Our choices for PM are a guy who will enthusiastically embrace the fascism and a guy (current PM) who will embrace it out of political expediency.

Best hope is that we elect enough good independents and Greens (a responsible and well-functioning party here) that they hold the balance of power and can push for a re-think of the alliance.

Fortunately, our voting system does make this a reasonably likely outcome. Holding my breath and volunteering a lot.
