I have a question for Constitutional scholars.
If power to declare war is reserved to Congress, and...
A naval blockade around a nation is an act of war, and...
#ConvictedFelonTrump placed a naval blockade on Venezuela...
There was no Congressional approval...
Did he just commit a High Crime ?

ALERT: Miriam Adelson says she talked with Alan Dershowitz in Israel about how Trump could serve a third term — and openly floated another $250 million while doing it. You can’t make this shit up.

Let’s hope the shift continues and that Massie and Greene are not the only (R)s with the guts to be vocal about the depravity of the goddamn U.S. President real soon.

I really don’t understand how a Trump has a defamation case against the BBC.
Every political speech gets edited.
His actual speech was freely available in full EVERYWHERE
He did nothing to calm down the insurrection.
He is currently president of the USA so what reputational damage?

Nothing more than perceived wealth that doesn’t exist for the purposes of taxes, but magically does for the purposes of leverage. Meanwhile, the rest of us pay real taxes on low wages and can’t leverage shit. The game is rigged. Tax the rich.
The world’s richest person just hit another major milestone thanks to the soaring valuation of his rocket maker SpaceX.

So Vance, who knows “MIGA” types are revolting, said on X yesterday that criticizing Israel is not automatically antisemitic.
But Trump’s crackdown on universities is premised on the notion that campus protests against Israel were by definition antisemitic.
Only Trumpers can criticize Israel.

AOC: I want to remind you where the real crime is. It's in the oligarchs taking $170 billion of our money from health care and food assistance and public programs and taking that and funneling it into a secret police program.

Denying people citizenship because of where they were born doesn't seem to be the meritocracy that GOPers always claim we are. Instead it shows the Gov't is acting on racism, something of course that MAGA would deny. Legal immigration no more. Republicans can not be trusted to do the right thing.

Once fair elections are gone, the only way to regain democracy will be war, either an underground insurgency or full blown armed warfare. I see no other alternative. The founders understood the price paid for freedom, too bad most Americans forgot.
