If it's the entry I'm thinking of, I'm pretty sure he said SCOTUS. That's the Supreme Court Of The United States.

Most have memorized this since the first grade......
"I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."

But it is really a potato - potahto issue at best
Some people assert that a country calling itself a democracy must be engaged in direct (or pure) democracy, in which the people of a state or region vote directly for policies, rather than elect representatives who make choices on their behalf. People who follow this line of reasoning hold that the United States is more properly described as a republic, using the following definition of that word: "a government in which supreme power resides in a body of citizens entitled to vote and is exercised by elected officers and representatives responsible to them and governing according to law."

However, both democracy and republic have more than a single meaning, and one of the definitions we provide for democracy closely resembles the definition of republic given above: "a government in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised by them directly or indirectly through a system of representation usually involving periodically held free elections."

So if someone asks you if the United States is a democracy or a republic, you may safely answer the question with either “both” or “it depends.”

LOL!! Yes, this is definitely from those conservatives living in a treehouse. Only they are dumb enough to think a POTUS issues parking permits. However, it is more likely due to the fascist rights attempted insurrection and coup from January 6th than anything else.

Well, don't fall out of the treehouse. It was SCOTUS. That's the Supreme Court Of The United States. What grade in school do you need to pass to be an Army SFC anyway?
