I would say "take notes", but I know how underfunded your schools are (lemmy.world)

It feels kinda like an old vaudevillian joke... If a Russian battalion were to arrive at your doorstep and demand that you house them and that your compliance would be looked at favorably when Russia takes over—not only would you be constitutionally protected if you chose to shoot them, you'd likely be lauded as a hero.

But when a Russian asset takes over and compromises our country, well, good luck finding the legal loophole to justify shooting a president.

And here, laws mean everything. It's why immigrants are illegal, shoplifting is bad, landlords are good, and more money=more free speech. Then again, a coup is supposed to be illegal, so once again, I direct you to my previous response: "we're aggressively dumb."
