On this note, it was very funny to (briefly) see CNN trying to explain how this doesn't have the legal foundation the admin is asserting it has, which

  1. They don't care
  2. Maybe 'legal precedent' isn't what should be examined when the president is trying to invade and annex a country that has done literally nothing

I suppose it's a great distillation of liberalism, though "Noooooooo you can't do this, that court case in 1836 between Farmer Dickface and the US government doesn't apply here, nooooOOOOO you're invading INCORRECTLY"

It's the defining feature of liberalism. There's never any talk about if it's morally right or wrong, or if it's a net positive or net negative for the world or society or community. Just "can we legally do this? " And that's all that matters

Legalism is just another way of obfuscating reality.

This, this exactly

I fucking hate it when libs talk about "Erm, that's ackshually illegal" when the right DOES NOT GIVE A FLYING SWIMMING WALKING OR SHITTING FUCK ABOUT LEGALITY

We had someone get MURDERED not too long ago, are they gonna actually punish that removed? NO. They HATE law and order, they HATE principle, they HATE legal precedent. All the right wants to ever do is murder andremoved like the removed scum they are, so RECOGNIZE THAT and ACT ACCORDINGLY for fucks sake, I'm so mad
