"Are there no prisons?""Plenty of prisons...""And the Union workhouses." demanded Scrooge. "Are they still in operation?""Both very busy, sir...""Those who are badly off must go there.""Many can't go there; and many would rather die.""If they would rather die," said Scrooge, "they had better do it, and decrease the surplus population."

Love the WaPo headline: "Mueller’s ‘witch hunt’ snags another witch"

The evidence-based economists are talking about certain ongoing processes leading to a collapse in 2010, possibly as early as 2019. I am very worried that it may be postponed until after the next presidential election. The folks willing and able to understand that we can't, without consequences, enthrall all college students or subsidize coal or expect Cletus to pick tomatoes, will understand that the Next Great Recession took a while to build up.

But if everything goes south in February 2021, the following years of misery will be successfully but dishonestly blamed on liberal economic policies.

I don't wish for another collapse exactly, but if it's going to happen, the sooner the better.

Edit: for grammar's sake.

Maybe edit again- you wrote 2010, did you mean 2020?

Just trying to help. :)

Frankly I'd rather have the blue states handling it than watching the DoJ half ass it in court.

If they win it'll all be Obama's fault for not being able to defend against their future fuckery. If they loose it'll be because of the oppression of the Blue states. Advertising the fight isn't in their interests.

I think the same thing. The Republicans do not care a whit about the vast majority of those that they conned into supporting them. The propaganda machine usually manages to find some way to inform the cult "It is shit we are feeding you, but we promise that it is good for you. Trust us.". This screwing of the voters appears harder to spin

Sounds like you have just described a legitimate argument against this tactic. The three branches are supposed to both support the government and prevent the other branches from getting too much power. And the conservatives reicht wingers throw hissy fits over so-called 'activist judges' whenever someone is nominated that might support, like, equal protections under the law or some such bleeding heart folderol.
