In a memo John Roberts wrote just 4 yrs out of law school, he said the “time may be ripe to reconsider the existence” of independent agencies & bring them back into the executive branch. Now he’s poised to end what he has long called “a constitutional anomaly.”

“European officials may end up offering Ukraine a financial Band-Aid when they had hoped for a financial bazooka.” Tragic loss of nerve. The $244 billion must be used to help Ukraine survive Russia’s illegal onslaught. Belgium is being cowardly.

Comey rightly calls out the "biglaw" lawyers who have abdicated their responsibilities to uphold the rule of law, which -- after all -- is why the legal profession exists in the first place, as I discussed a few months ago.

Houlahan points out that courts have found Trump has taken at least 150 unlawful actions since re-taking office, "so yes, those kinds of things are going on. Just because you are the president doesn't mean everything that comes out of your mouth is lawful."

This is what eventually happens to anyone loyal to Trump. He doesn't give a damn about ANYONE but himself.

Paid a Colombian tea grower $1,500 for a shipment. Got billed $150 by the Trump administration at the border. *I* got billed. Not the tea growers. Not the Colombian government. Me. The American business owner. I paid the Trump tax.
