One thing that, uh, amuses(?) me is that apparently there's still a national emergency from 9/11: https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2025/09/03/2025-16941/continuation-of-the-national-emergency-with-respect-to-certain-terrorist-attacks

You know how Hitler rose to power by abusing a national emergency regulation? You know how there was worry of Trump doing a fascism, back when Obama handed over to the guy? You know how Trump literally announced beforehand that he'll do a fascism, when Biden handed over to him?

Both could've chosen to terminate the national emergency. Neither did so.

I never agree that both sides are the same, fucking far from it. But the left politicians are not without their shady AF shit.
