See, I keep seeing talk about this, but what does it mean?

Is this "The Biden administration is going to suspend elements of the US constitution for an ill-defined duration" or is it just PR talk, the Biden administration attempting to bully individual states into surrendering their constitutional rights to Federal government using the power of rhetoric alone?

We are already deep into suspending the constitution for indefinite durations. There are still over 30 on-going official states of emergency going back to 1979, although one could make a case that emergencies from WW1 or even the war amongst the states never ended.

Sovereign is he who decides the state of exception.

Oh, so this is unilateral action by the office of the president.

Does he actually get to do that, or is this one of those things where he gets to do it until somebody asks if he can, at which point there's a court case, and the Biden administration gets put back in it's box?

Close. He does it. It sits in courts for a couple weeks. Then a conservative justice strikes it down. Then he appeals, and gets a stay on the conservative court's ruling so it stays in effect until the appeal. It gets approved on the appeal, so gets appealed again to the supreme court. Which means we wait until next summer until the supreme court decides on it, but by that point the EO will have been in effect for a year so it doesn't matter what the supreme court says everyone will be used to the rules so they'll just kind of stay.

Eh, I think the red states are already done with Biden. None of his federal bullshit will be enforced in Florida or Texas.

This is the state of our nation: the president will dictate law to the states that voted for him while the rest of the country ignores him.

The congress will be deadlocked on partisan legislation but will pass foreign aid grift and their own pay raises immediately. They will spend most of their time investigating and prosecuting whichever party is not in power.

When the presidency changes hands, the delinquent states and the obedient states will switch. Over the course of several administrations, red and blue states will move far, far apart in terms of law and culture.

At some point, everything will snap. The scotus is most likely to provide the inflection point as they lean conservative and their decisions become ever more untenable for blue states. I think some unhinged leftist will kill a scotus justice.

Civil war seems inevitable when you look at the map and realize all of the red states are contiguous while all of the blue states are not. Then factor in that all of the red counties will secede and suddenly all of the blue “states” are just tiny island nations in a sea of red. That is not a sustainable split.

No, if it was something the permanent state didn't want to do. This is just "legitimizing" what the permanent state wanted to do anyway.

The more Dementia Joe's handlers move toward crimping fossil fuels, the higher inflation will rise and the more voters will become disgruntled.

If it's accurate (and I do not trust anything in the WaPo at all) it will ensure the death of the Democratic Party, the membership of which is already being reduced to white college graduates.

I look forward to policy whiplash from alternating R and D administrations until enough people wise up and we get some serious movement toward secession.

Your skepticism is appropriate. My assumption is probably naieve.

Depends on the manner and speed at which the votes are cast.

And black people. Nearly all of the black people.

Does anyone else notice the media trying to make POTATUS seem more powerful than he is?

"BIDEN SIGNS EXECUTIVE ORDER TO PROTECT ABORTION"

...okay, how?

It does nothing because it can do nothing. SCOTUS was clear on this being a state issue, and no executive order can override state law.

Didn't stop the media from running 200+ articles about how he was "taking strong executive action."

Meanwhile Trump literally negotiated peace agreements in the Middle East that could and should echo for a generation and the Media only talks about it if they have to, and probably tries to downplay it in the process.

And water is wet.

Tinfoil thought; the latest events Covid, Heat, law changes(that allow for idiots to die, like not arresting rioters, giving pedestrians right of way over cars), soon to be a fresh bout of food shortage. They're all population reduction events.

Each one aiming to intentionally reduce population?

Intentionally release virus and kill the feeble, by giving false information, or ever changing information.
Inte.tionally.giving that virus the ability to spread diseases that shouldnt spread that easily (aids, hepatitis, cardiovascular)

Heatwave not directly caused (useful side effect of solar farms, and who would have guessed excessively big glass towers would cause lensing effects), but again not actually doing much to help the feeble and at risk.

They can cause again another food shortage , blaming heatdeath of crops.

Intentionally ruin the value of money and labor so buying essentials like food, water, heating, cooling and causes loss of life that way.

Intentionally anger the populace so they risk their life fighting in civil war.

Population culling doesn't have to be a big grandiose military event.
