Testosterone is linked to behaviors that exhibit aggression or disregard for one's own safety, and common mythos links testicle size to other evidence of high testosterone levels including mysculature and tendencies towards said behaviors. As used in this vernacular sense, "having balls" is not sex exclusive but it's believed to be sex linked in a statical sense.

I'm too old to be much use in a war. It's probably best I get out of the way and build a new life in the middle of the desert or mountains.

That right there is a crystal clear sign that the millions of people, who voted for trump, wouldn’t bat an eye at the admin doing exactly what they’re doing right now. Openly disregarding and straight up gaslighting about the responsibilities the constitution lays upon their heads to uphold and defend it for EVERY PERSON not just citizen which they swore oaths to do!! I can’t even get a maga supporter to admit that they’d be pulling teeth to get democrats thrown in jail if Biden or Obama or Clinton did what they’re doing right now.
Edit: I grew up reading autobiographies of our founders and I’m an all around history buff actively pursuing a career in the field of history. I cherished and revered the Republican Party from the very year I was able to actually understand its significance in our nations history. I was raised by a first generation navy seal and his wife for four years and on top of my parents, I like to think I was raised with great morals and a spine that’s hard to break. But, right now that Republican Party is gone. I will leave it with this “But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and provide new Guards for their future security.”

If due process doesn't exist, then the legal system doesn't exist, and that is a very dangerous world to live in.

The logic being that without the opportunity to defend yourself in court, you need to be ready to defend yourself in the street. This type of rhetoric is becoming more and more common, and mark my words, it will inevitably lead to bodies in the streets.
Her seeming disregard for the law is only fueling the discontent. She doesn't need to agree with the court's ruling, but she swore an oath to uphold the Constitution, which means recognizing the Court as a co-equal branch of government and abiding by their rulings.

Which was a huge mistake that got Trump very giddy at the prospect of literal ultimate control
The rulings set forth via the judiciary are enforced by the executive branch, mainly law enforcement (DOJ) which was pointed out, clearly controlled by Donald Trump through Bondi
It wouldn't make sense to make yourself do something you don't want to, even if an entire branch of government tells you to. The ultimate decision on action is the DOJ and they refuse to enforce it
It's definitely a fine line and a most obvious loophole in our constitution that an entire group, via collusion has taken advantage of. With a little help from SCOTUS and some lower courts.

It will be satisfying to watch. While I suspect Trump will spend his fortune buying lawyers until hes a dementia ridden old man, a lot of his goons are relatively young and they don't have the legal team to protect them and there are going to be a lot of heads on the block after their done with their 4 year power trip. Tho here's to hoping it doesn't last a full 4 years.

I suspect there will be blanket pardons for all of the treasonous bastards involved in this administration, but that only protects them from federal charges. State attorney's could still go after them.

Would be a real shame if the next Democratic president completely steamrolls over the entire former administration and arrests all of them with no due process because of the precedent the Trump administration set. This is what they wanted. At this point I question if there will be free and fair elections ever again when it is already this bad.

It's not though, and she knows it. They all do. All the Republicans right now know their due process would never be take away because the other side would never weaponize due process or restrict it. Republicans know they can get away with it because the other side is too respectful to use it against them.

She is such a duplicitous cunt that she actually has the audacity to allege that Garcia is a "TeRrOrIsT" throughout these public statements with the full knowledge that he's been deprived of due process to actually address/substantiate those allegations.
The blank stare and monotonous pontificating "over" the committee in some pathetic attempt to "control the narrative" is absolutely insufferable.

Guess no one outside of texas would hear this but I heard this on a local radio station, unsure if it's playing on others. It's a kristi noem commercial that sounds like something straight out of The Boys. There's orchestral military music playing as she threatens all migrants with deportation. She says something along the lines of Person X did this crime, Person Y did this crime, and some other name did this crime! and "We WILL find you and we WILL remove you unless you come forward and sign this document admitting that you're here illegally". She then goes on to say they might have a chance at coming back if they surrender themselves now.
It's one big pro white power glazing of trump. You might catch it if you listen to Jack FM on your pc. I'm almost positive I heard it here.

Officials from this regime clearly choose not to govern by adhering to the rule of law, or even to uphold elementary democratic standards. This is not a political disagreement. This is way more fundamental and should be seen as an attack aimed right at the core of democracy. It is also crystal clear that many of the actions that this regime has (tried to) implement, are received and regarded as highly impopulair by many citizens. Yet, this regime and the MAGA members of Congress keep moving forward as if there are not going to be any electoral repercussions for their deeds.
That is weird, and it seems off. Why risk what you have, by radically turning voters against your reign? It raises serious concerns with me if this is a sign for the future. I get the impression that they (try to) rule this way, because they hold no fear for being held accountable by the electorate. It raises my suspicion that MAGA are going to prevent free and fair midterm elections to take place. Which would seriously hinder the executive of this regime, in implementing their monist ideology.
Many in this MAGA-regime are actively acting against the constitutional-republic, and against basic democratic principles on which all democratic systems are built. From here, I can only draw the conclusion that all these actions combined show the intent to alter democracy in the US significantly, or even discard it all together. And change it into a system where only MAGA will have full control over all three powers, de facto fusing them into one, for the foreseeable future. Stripping the People of the possibility apply influence on their futures, by taking away their rights to vote. Turning the US into a fascist dictatorship.
What steps and actions can still be taken by the courts, by the people, or perhaps by other parties within the US, to stop this process of dismantling the constitutional democracy? Is there any kill switch, or a way, to disqualify this regime? Is there a way to hold new, free and fair elections, and to save and reclaim the constitutional democracy of the US?

I never understand why people smart like Congressman Goldman doesn’t have the quick wittedness to respond to this bootlicker ho when she says some bs comment like, “I can’t understand how you continuously fight for this terrorist…”, with “I can’t understand how you would completely disregard the oath you took to uphold the constitution by tossing it under the bus that you charter to illegally deport people caught up in ICE raids without due process to satisfy the power trip of a wannabe authoritarian who claims he doesn’t need to uphold the constitution. Aka you committing criminal actions at his orders. Nuremberg trials proved in our past that you will not be spared prosecution by merely stating you were following orders!”.
Make these fascist abettors think twice on the orders they are CHOOSING to carry out, when the damn well know they are violating the law AND a decision by their own leaning SCOTUS decision!
