I have to say, I'm just struck with astonishment to encounter a truism about "flexible government" as a defense of autocratic despotism.

- ceejayoz 2y agoThat’s… a very odd reading of the above. Legal systems are unfair if they’re too flexible. They’re also unfair if they’re too inflexible. Autocrats tend to use both extremes to their advantage; all flex for them, no flex for you. One day ago you (flagged) commented “I hope [Trump] holds a military tribunal for every single person in the FBI”, so I’m not sure how genuine your astonishment is.
- ofslidingfeet 2y agoYou forgot to quote the part where I said the FBI won't stop blatantly interfering with elections.
