I do hope you’re not holding your breath.
No, we’re just going to forget about it entirely, until 1 day into the next Democratic Presidential tenure and the press starts seriously covering GOP concerns over “rule by fiat”

Kinda feels appropriate to see if i can find a copy of an old computer game I used to enjoy. Elite.
That space trading game where you would visit different planets with different styles of government that resulted in different markets for different goods, and the different levels of resistance you would get along the way.

Secret Service generally believe the sun shines out of their arses, and look down on local law enforcement (anywhere, in any country) as ‘traffic cops’. As @Limiescouse notes, at least some of Trump’s detail were complicit. However, at some point they may find that they need support from more than traffic cops at a Capitol Hill demonstration, and Capitol Police must be absolutely embittered. There is no longer any point in risking life and limb to defend Congress.

That may be true from a institutional perspective, but they are still ‘brothers’ and I doubt they would be too happy seeing the murderer of a fellow officer getting a pardon.
Maybe, but norms and institutions like that are in rather poor repair in the US these days. The Secret Service is overwhelmingly white, Capitol Police are more reflective of DC’s demographics and are almost 50% black or Hispanic. Doubtless some are troubled

State Department is getting purged this morning, with immediate effect - down into the career foreign service levels, though so far only the tiers that are appointees rather than organizational promotions.

But project 2025 has nothing to do with Trump. He knows nothing about it and disagrees with it.

Preparing for the march yesterday. I’m the big guy with the black Arbor Pride shirt (Arbor Brewery in Ypsilanti, MI), and the LFC beanie.
