It's a dry run for next year when the Speaker of the House refuses to seat duly elected Democrats in the mid-term elections.
Should be a HUGE red flag.

There's only one question these days: Who is going to stop him? Physically.
Not: Are they "bound" by ethics rules and the Constitution? "Bound" suggests physical restraints.

It's also about showing that the Speaker of the House can refuse to seat legitimately elected representatives.

He's a lumberjack and he's OK
He sleeps all night and he works all day

"taken in" is misleading phrasing, suggesting money coming *into* America.
But actually, it's money taken into the US Treasury, transferred from importers and consumers already *inside* America.
So no, actually $0 "taken in".

There should be no pardon power. It's contrary to the balance of power in US governance, when one branch (executive) can override another (judicial).
Or, if for some reason POTUS "MUST" have pardon power, POTUS should only be able to pardon for convictions rendered before they became President.

All Congress has to do is stop him. It's within their power. In fact, if they don't stop him, he steals **their** power.
How is it that everyone seems to think raising tariffs is a presidential power?

First they came for the illegal immigrant criminals, and I said nothing. But they couldn't find enough, nowhere near the 3000/day Stephen Miller said was their quota.
Then they came for the grandmas and lawn guys. Because there's lots of them, for now . . .

It's not "tempting"/"assumption". Don't condescend to us. Ignorance, irrationality, misinformation ARE the reasons why people question vaccines, in a nutshell.

I understand the point of the rhetoric "This is not who we are", but it displaces responsibility.
It IS who you (plural) are. It's societal change that's required, not splitting society into "who 'we' are" and "who 'we' aren't".

Be careful: the Orwellian response might be to systematically change place names to English, and rewrite the history of America to erase Spanish presence.
