    They’ve been taught that if they ignore the law and do whatever they want to they don’t get punched in the face.

    That will only go on for so long but it’s going to suck until someone gets punchy.

      Especially with the recent East Wing argument, the lesson is “if you do it fast enough and ignore other people getting angry about it, you can do whatever you want.”

        The only reason they ever didn’t ignore people getting angry about things was because when people used to get angry they also got shooty.

      What’s the saying? “Ownership is 90% posession.”

      Like with the stuff going on at the East Wing or the Kennedy Center, some people just move forward even if they’re not allowed to because chances are they won’t be stopped or penalized.
