If you Abuse the System, Don’t Complain When it gets Changed

I’m in the process of moving. It’s a policy of mine to consume, within reason, whatever food and drink I have available prior to the move. I’d rather carry it in my stomach, or as extra fat, than in a suitcase.

One of the items I chose to dispatch was an almost finished bottle of Haitian rum. Haiti may be a shithole, but they do make some fine rum. I found this out when a Haitian contractor invited me to try some last year.

Anyway, it put me in the mood to blog, and here I am…

Democrats are shrieking about the recent Supreme Court ruling that limits the power of district judges from interfering with presidential orders.

Conservatives and Trumpists are hailing the ruling as a huge win for America. The truth is more complicated. Some day, there will be another Democrat president – and he’ll be able to single-handedly destroy the country. For the time being, however, it’s a huge win.

Yes, Democrats are shrieking about this Supreme Court ruling, and they’re also shrieking about deportations of illegal immigrants, the arrest of judges and the Alex Padilla episode (where a Democrat senator was tackled while disrupting an event).

Democrats seem to have an endless store of rage at their disposal. They constantly claim that Trump “violates the Constitution” – the same Constitution they ignored during the Biden presidency. They rail against the violation of protocols and the disrespect for traditions.

At some level, they’re right. Trump, and the Supreme Court, are venturing into dangerous territory… but Democrats left no choice.

The way I see it, Democrats (AKA “socialists” and “Communists”) have figured out how to game the system to ensure their own victory. They opened the gates to millions of illegals in order to give themselves more electoral votes, they planted hundreds of activist judges so that those judges could thwart the will of the people, they prosecuted crimes selectively based on ideology and race…

… and then they have the audacity to complain when conservatives notice and tweak the system in order to prevent future abuses. If Democrats care so much about the rule of law and the Constitution, perhaps they should have avoided abusing them when they were in power. Had they refrained from abusing them, there would be no need to change them or reinterpret them now.

In conclusion, if you value a system, then don’t abuse it when given the opportunity. Of course, few Democrats value the system; they only “value” it to the extent that they can manipulate it for their own nefarious purposes.
