Routing around the US is already baked into the next decade, but it's going to take some time for various groups to work out and implement new systems.
It will become less of a hardship for the rest of the world over time, as the US has already murdered its economy. We're just bleeding out slowly.

Look, the question of whether those American patriots are really American, or patriots, is less important than whether they are, from afar, reflecting obvious truths about the American herrenvolk back to us.
I, for one, welcome and trust their de-Toquevillesque assessment of our nation.

The ONE thing I'll give Angus King on this issue is that in March, he voted for cloture and he voted for the CR. He didn't play the insulting game of "but I voted against the bill" that most of the other cloture-yes votes did. He really believes in just keeping things running, at almost any price.

And none of that is on the table, or ever will be on the table.

I don't mean today. I mean in their assumed future where they win the 2026 mid-terms.

Can they? Because they don't have a supermajority to override Trump's veto. And there's no guarantee that the Trump regime will honor the appropriation -- they haven't been following the law so far.

And it makes them uncomfortable, so they'll pump the brakes now.

For the operation of the government yes. But also reforms of the courts to prevent it all being undone, reforms of the electoral system to prevent the illiberal governments of red states from gerrymandering and voter-suppressing their way into permanent power, adding 2 states + 4 senators, etc.

I am not seeing badges on a lot of these guys. Or if they are wearing badges, they're not unique, with badge numbers.

AFAICT, the NY and FL Dem parties are incompetent beyond belief, which really does a lot of damage to everyone else as well as to the citizens of their own states.

Thanks for the correction. I still think it excuses.

I don't think any Dem elected wants to test what happens in this environment when their men with guns publicly and directly disobey a direct order. But I think everyone ought to understand the reality of the situation.

Yes, I certainly haven't seen lots of flatly illegal things done without any consequences in the last few years. For example, the NYPD definitely didn't dox the mayor's daughter.

There's been a lot of people saying "can't" for years about a lot of things it turns out are in reality entirely possible, because they've been done.

I don't disagree; I also don't think any Dem elected is prepared to tell the truth about this. Always fun to watch the search for a new urban chief of police in the hope that they can fix the problems in the local force. Nah, son. They really can't, because THEY aren't really in charge.

They could try it; there are a few theories that might work, but they're all iffy. Hard to claim copyright in a single word, hard to claim trademark in a word mark that was never used as a trademark by the estate, maybe there's a kind of false advertising / tarnishment claim one could make? Dicey.

Yeah, they always seemed like arbitrarily breakfast-coded cupcakes to me. So I approve of this fact which aligns with my pre-existing worldview.

Dunno if she would be the best person for the job she's running for, but she understands the assignment of leading by example, and running a campaign which tries to answer the question "What if we didn't suck?"
And she's pushing her main opposition, Daniel Biss, to do the right things as well.

It's deskilling the entire country -- basically trying to turn the entire nation into the South under Jim Crow. Get rid of the state & federal white collar workforce, destroy research, destroy colleges, impoverish the middle and lower-middle classes, esp. non-whites, and lock them into that poverty.
