Re: Biden doesn't have the power to just let them out
"I, President Joe Biden, hereby pardon all people accused of unlawful entry who did so for the purposes of seeking asylum from Jan 2016 to the present day."
He literally does have that power.
Executive order (number)
Those seeking asylum shall not be deported until their asylum claim is processed.
Executive order (number)
No asylum claim will be processed until a full review of asylum procedures is conducted.
(Use this time to get fair asylum judges)
I'm probably missing some wording, but don't tell me it can't be done

The Insurrection Act is for use during.... insurrections. Alternatively, when normal judicial process isn't available. These cases have made it to the Supreme Court. It's available. Aside from that, troops can't interfere with an election: law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18…
It's up to five years for interfering "in any manner" with an election official attempting to perform their duties.
If this was to be done (snatching voting machines), it would have to be done by federal law enforcement... who would need a warrant... which would require probable cause... which would need evidence.
Me watching the @jimmy_dore /@AOC mess.... @professordarwin was just talking about the drama loop and how it only helps the opposition.
In this case, I don't think people are communicating very well.

Should we try to push establishment people to more progressive positions? Absolutely.
Would a M4A vote be cool to see rep's positions? Also yes.
Is it worth expending post-election political capital to see? Depends on whether it can really win.
Can it win? Depends on Georgia.
With the uncertainty, would that political capital be better used elsewhere? Depends on how you look at it. (This is the actual point of contention. Nobody believes AOC suddenly doesn't want M4A.)
Several people asked for videos precovid where I say there's going to be a recession and confirm Biden's claim that manufacturing tanked before covid. Dropping them in the comments.
