And he's actually been trying again recently as the auction gets closer. But people aren't really following him to his new Twitter account

Congress has barely been able to pass critical funding bills. Do you really think they're functional enough to pass highly technical and involved legislation for specific agencies?

Remember that even if you cover your face, they're probably monitoring for your gait. Put a small rock in your shoe to change that...

It doesn't seem like you've read much about insurgencies and rebel groups. It doesn't actually take much firepower to inject enough chaos into the system that you cause issues with traditional militaries. One person with a rifle could keep a FOB alert and wasting resources for a couple of hours in Afghanistan. IEDs placed by individuals or small groups caused absolute terror in Iraq.

These types of things are unlikely to "win" a war. But if you make it costly enough, the other side will decide it's not worth fighting. The point is not to engage in head-on combat, that's suicide.

Or hell, look to the tactics of some of the rebels in the Revolutionary War or the Civil War.

With his current mental state I'm pretty sure anyone could hide behind a bush and tell him they're God and that he should drop out. I think it would work.

While I hate what this means in general; be honest, is anyone going to miss Liz Cheney?

As I mentioned on another comment, there is no mechanism for the court to enforce that. The DOJ is under the President. Who will arrest the President? The SC may think this empowers them more, but it really does not.

As bad of a rep as they get, having an AR-15 is a really good idea. Readily available parts and ammo. Very easy to use. Easy to clean. Overall a good choice.

Please tell me what capacity any court has to enforce a ruling against a sitting President. I'll wait.

As that bastard Andrew Jackson once (allegedly) said "John Marshall has made his decision, now let him enforce it."

Yes, you should. And train with them. Find nearby like-minded people you can train with. You don't need many, but you really need to know how to use them.

Ah, right, certainly the next President will also behave the same way...

This feels terribly naive. It would be one thing if we could cement into the Constitution that the President does not have immunity, but Congress can barely pass a funding bill, let alone an amendment. But failing to use the power granted to try and set the country on a better path just ensures that a dictator will rise who does not care about keeping the status quo. And Trump will have a rubber-stamp SC that will say any act he seems to be official is.

Good. The other justices don't deserve any respect.
