We don't even have to go that far to realize how quickly the democratic establishment would roll over in the face of a civil war. I don't think Chuck Schumer is going to be leading an armed resistance movement anytime soon.

They have to accept cash in the US as well. The post you're replying to is just saying that they can't ring anything up or accept any payment without power.

Yeah and it was probably equally craven and opportunistic to bring them in as well.

Was it intentional that you used the phrase “rolling sentences around her mouth, like toffee” in a post about how it’s better to write plainly?

A president who is willing to do those things, and has a military willing to carry those orders out, isn't likely to be stopped by the court telling them it's illegal.

The probability that humans are still driving around in cars, self driving or not, in 1000 years is incredibly unlikely.
