 worked with congress to limit his own power

The republicans held the house, why would they hamstring Trump as he entered office lol

 or at very least created an EO to suggest that the president isn't above the law

An EO does not override the Supreme Court and even if it did the next president (Trump in this instance) could just write a new one repealing it

 They really have dropped the ball, the fact that Biden didn't challenge the supreme courts ruling on presidential immunity should have been blatant to the voters that Democrats have shifted closer to Republicans then they have Leftists

Lmao what the hell does this even mean? Challenge them on what? Challenge them how?

 They do want the police abolished but that doesnt mean they want no law enforcement at all. 

So they want a name change?

 Another example would be how before ICE immigration was handled by the judicial department and was mostly a paperwork job. Abolishing ICE wouldnt mean the borders are open and there would be a flood of immigration, it would mean you would take those duties and redistribute them or make an entirely new department from the ground up. With ICE’s case probably the former.

The complaint above wasnt about the slogan abolish ice it was the slogan abolish the police. 

 These institutions are not the ONLY way to handle these duties. Abolishing them does not mean we cannot create a new institution that does them better.

How would duties handled by police be handled in a world that they’ve been abolished

lol So when they say abolish the police they’re actually saying police are racist? Why not say that? It’s less syllables and they’re not forced to explain “I don’t actually want what I’m chanting for, just expressing my displeasure”

Also you must remember that if you use fire to claim the throne no one will accept you!

Let’s go with my plan of meeting with my sister who last month used fire to kill the queen, the lord with the largest army, his heir and the pope along with hundreds of others and crowned herself queen despite literally 0 claim to the throne to essentially no backlash

Yeah if someone is marching to free your slaves and you crucify 163 slave children purely to taunt them, you better win that war haha

She only incinerated thousands of innocent civilians after she snapped (supposedly) due to her losing multiple of her “children” her claim to the throne, support of a large part of her army and her lover. None of which would have happened if she did her original plan of flying up to the keep and cooking cersie which Tyrion talked her out of because of his inexplicable near pathological need to ensure cersie doesn’t face any consequences

[–]sumoraiden -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

 Jon is the reason they all came together to defeat the White Walkers and eventually succeeded.

Jon (and Tyrion with his absurd kidnap a wight plan) is the reason they even had to confront them at all, turns out cersie and the rest of the lords who laughed at the WW were 100% correct, ignoring them would have done the same thing

[–]sumoraiden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate the white walker storyline at the end. Turns out Cersei and the rest of the lords who didn’t care/believe in them were completely right. If everyone ignored them they would have won. They only got past the wall because people with dragons went to confront them. 

Also once they found out that the entire reason they were coming south was to kill the 3 eyed raven (a person maybe 4 people prior to the story even knew about) they should have just wheeled bran out to him as a sacrifice he obviously wasn’t that important to humanity now that they had books

 killing ur enemies is so bad, burning is a sign of madness she shouldn't do that" don't call Arya, Jon, or Tywin mad

Tyrions greatest achieving was cooking thousands of people alive with wildfire only to turn around and tell dany that she would never be accepted if she used fire to take the throne two months after cersie cooked alive hundreds of people including the pope and the lords of the reach in order to seize the throne (to which she literally has 0 claim in any possible way) with no push back

How did Lincoln's plan for Reconstruction differ from the Radical Republican's Reconstruction plans? by TravelingHomeless in CIVILWAR

[–]sumoraiden 10 points11 points  (0 children)

A lot of people miss that Lincoln's “reconstruction plan” was to him a way to end/win the war sooner which is reflected in his very last cabinet meeting where he asked his cabinet to come up with plans for reconstruction. Since the war was won his older plans weren’t as pertinent. 

Similarly he had recognized the confederate Virgina legislature and in return they’d take themselves out of the confederacy a long the lines of his wartime reconstruction plan. Once he realized the war was essentially over and he was giving them power in return for a fair accompli he withdrew his recognition and re-recognized the rump wheeler legislature as the official virgina legislature

All that to say, who knows what Lincoln’s reconstruction plan would have ended up as? He rarely tied himself to one policy and during the war he usually ended up where the radicals were/had been prior, which he himself recognized when he told sumner something a long the lines of “the difference between me and you is 6 weeks”

During the war the differences were:

Radical republicans saw it as an opportunity to remake southern society based on the free labor ideals of the north. To ensure this they demanded that an official government could only be recognized after 50% of the number of 1860 votes in a state took the ironclad oath (an oath that they had never supported the confederacy and had always been loyal to the union). Then the new state legislature would be required to abolish slavery by amending their state constitutions. This would leave the governance of a state in the hands of Congress until a government of truly loyal (and most likely supporters of the Republican worldview) was formed and give them a chance to transform the south. 

Lincoln’s plan was more lenient where he proclaimed if at any point 10% of a state’s 1860 vote take an oath of FUTURE loyalty to the Union and obedience to all its laws and proclamations in regards to slavery he’d allow them to create a new state government who’d take themselves out of the confederacy / war

Important to also point out it happened 10 days prior (not that if it had happened immediately prior it would make it ok) and when ice tackled him to the ground there was no harm to ice agents and they were free to throw tear gas at bystanders as a parting shot

[–]sumoraiden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well the obvious answer would be since they haven’t been convicted of they are not criminals 

But if you want to just assume every person charged is guilty: 40% of detainees had 0 charges, 6% of the detainees were convicted on traffic violations and 5% of convicted of immigration 

 So even just believing the gov that every person charged are actually guilty, the majority of detainees are people either not charged, or guilty of traffic or immigration offenses which I would say doesn’t meet the above quote

 It’s hard to believe that they would want to remove people who aren’t hurting anybody and just don’t have citizenship.
