So far the courts have been stopping him at every turn. He’s doing damage but he’s not managed to change a single law. To really ramp things up he needs to pass laws or the courts will continue to block him.Quote:

The challenge to birthright citizenship was considered laughable and certain not to be taken up, but today that's what they were debating. Like Roe v Wade, these were all considered to be settled law.
And the ruling party in Congress just seem to have opted out. I don't know what the **** they think they're being paid for, but they're not doing it.
People are losing their jobs because of deemed insufficient loyalty to the regime and its intentions, or having questioned the legality of planned actions.
I actually think that it'll sort itself out, somehow. A worry is how big a thing it might take for enough people to agree that this is dangerous and unacceptable and do something about it. And the absolute stupidity of it all just makes you want to bang your head off sore things.
I agree, the damage is considerable. I think as more and more election results go the way of the dems then we will start to see Republicans fear their own voters more than a primary challenge funded by Musk. Republicans lost a Mayor the other night who won by 30% of the vote last time. That’s a big swing and puts almost every republican seat in America up for grabs. Self preservation will surely wake some up. There is also the potential for default in the summer if they can’t get their ‘big beautiful bill’ passed. There is lots to play for yet.Quote:

Trump trying to embarrass the visiting president of South Africa and his group in the oval
playing clips of SA politicians shouting "kill the boer"
a reporter then asked him about the jet he received then yelled at him that he was such a bad reporter
tbf i've saw quite a few clips over the last year or so involving SA politicians shouting kill the boer, but there's a time and a place to bring this up with the SA president not live on TV

If anything it shows that if it's not scripted for him, other than a few stock in trade soundbites he isn't capable of reasonably debating a subject based on knowledge and interpretation of information.

Lots of damage done but no laws changed. It’s much like last time, he can’t get anything through Congress. Just makes a lot of noise, flashes the signature book, does a lot of harm and then the courts block him. Three and a half more years of this.Quote:

This is the biggest cash grab ever seen, insider trading doesn't cover it, this is insider manipulation.
All of the above is IMO. :greengrin
Absolutely insider trading, it happens all over the world constantly though it just so happens this is very very much in the public eye. Will anything be done about it? Absolutely not, the rich just get richer.Quote:
