    Trump Dictatorship and All Things Politics

    Points for honesty. That is why almost everyone who has me on ignore has done so. That bit about claiming I am a troll is a lie and everyone knows it. I rarely make personal attacks and don't hound anyone. Many have inexcusably bad beliefs with no ideological backing. They read or heard a...

    Trump Dictatorship and All Things Politics

    That is the exact argument you all use to dismiss the horror of women killing their unborn children, and that isn't a hypothetical. Trump isn't strolling down any streets murdering people with machine guns, but the lives of millions of children are being snuffed out. Unlike you lot, I don't...

    Trump Dictatorship and All Things Politics

    YES!!! Glad to finally have you onboard. Abolish the draconian federal Department of Education where the hand-on are employed. End the federal government attempt to influence academic institutions through dirty money via grants and student loan facilitation. Stop influencing the composition...

    Trump Dictatorship and All Things Politics

    The Executive does have the tools to do what you are suggesting, but those tools are all in the foreign affairs toolbox. When, if, and how to use those tools is at the sole discretion of the Executive. Nobody in the Judicial Branch gets a say in the use of those tools and they certainly cannot...

    Trump Dictatorship and All Things Politics

    I don't disagree with anything you've written here. Trump is utilizing laws that are likely unconstitutional. Trump didn't enact the laws, but they are there, so he's using them. If SCOTUS were to preside over a case challenging those laws, Trump would likely lose. The only party with...

    I view the law as does a Yale-educated lawyer? Uh, okay. Thank you.

    Trump Dictatorship and All Things Politics

    That isn't what I'm saying at all. Back in the 1970's, the ACLU fought for the right of some neo-Nazi group to parade through a Jewish neighborhood. The ACLU didn't do that because they liked neo-Nazis. The ACLU cherished the first amendment and its protections of speech, even the speech of...

    Trump Dictatorship and All Things Politics

    I have no idea who you are talking about. I thought we were talking about the guy who illegally entered the United States and received years of due process on the tax payer's dime. Who is the 'did nothing wrong' guy? Even trying could be seen as a violation of the Logan Act. The Executive...

    The Bigotry of Elon Musk

    #LeftiesSoRacist I did think it was interesting when uber-Dem James Carville voiced his opinion that bigoted morons who say exactly what you just said should GTFO of the Democrat Party. They don't want your cancerous nonsense either...

    Trump Dictatorship and All Things Politics

    Correct. What a foreign sovereign nation does to their own citizen is a foreign affair. What El Salvador does or does not do with El Salvadorian nationals is not within the purview of a lower court judge in the United States. A judge here in the United States can rule the deportation was...

    Trump Dictatorship and All Things Politics

    Yes. That is how it works when you win the election to become the US President. You get that power. Where you lefties go off the rails is in cheering for an unelected lower court judge to usurp the power of the US President. She didn't win the election to become US President and her efforts...

    Trump Dictatorship and All Things Politics

    Yes! Exactly! They are opposed to authoritarianism. If an unelected judge violates the separation of power or acts outside of jurisdictional limits, those ultra vires decisions will not be honored, and they should not be honored. They aren't limits on power if exercised power extending...

    Trump Dictatorship and All Things Politics

    That is fine, but if you take what they are saying at face value then that makes you a dupe. They are lawyers being paid by a client to deliver an argument. Listening to people, even those you disagree with, is admirable, but don't turn your brain off. Don't shrug your shoulders and let them...

    Trump Dictatorship and All Things Politics

    Yes. The action of deporting the criminal foreign national to El Salvador when there was a withholding order that allowed his deportation to anywhere except El Salvador was illegal. That is irrelevant to the lower court judge's order also being illegal. If someone is found by the courts to...

    Trump Dictatorship and All Things Politics

    Most of the time I feel like Captain Obvious. The original lower court judge created a Constitutional crisis with her order to produce the criminal alien who had been deported. If Roberts had believed judges had the power to do such things, he wouldn't have stayed the order. The Supreme Court...

    Trump Dictatorship and All Things Politics

    The Roberts Court is siding with the US Constitution, and so is the Trump administration. The weirdest aspect to this story is how Trump critics are cheering for authoritarianism, and against the rule of law, without realizing it. The US Constitution is very clear on the separations of powers...

    It is statements like your quoted post that remind me English isn't your first language. Insider trading is when you use information that isn't publicly available to inform commodity purchases or sales. Making an announcement on social media to the entire world, and then not buying or selling...

    The Corruption of the Supreme Court

    I love how backwards your view of democracy is. Trump is on the side of democracy and the lower court judge was against democracy. Deporting terrorists has broad popular support, and Trump facilitated their removal using a law the people's representatives crafted. It is the unelected lower...
