Now let’s see if this sticks or one of the corrupt judges/court reverses it.

The real test will come when the Supreme Court deals with this issue. Will they follow America or Trump.
I have a hunch this is going to be a very difficult time for John Roberts’ legacy.

I am reasonably certain that Trump considers not approaching him with the proper amount of deference malfeasance in office.

New laws won’t help if he ignores current laws or fails to respond to court rulings. Today Trump said he’d over ride the Endangered Species act to cut down timber trees on 280k acres.

Is there any reason Trump and/or Musk would want to bring on a full-blown, economic depression?

One, they could ride it out.
Two, this is what Putin requested.
I’m just thinking considering the amount of overreach, the next 3-6 months may not go as planned for them.

The Impoundment law already exists and the First Felon is blatantly ignoring it.
Dictators and autocrats see laws as something to challenge rather than to acknowledge.

See “The Shock Doctrine, the rise of Disaster Capitalism” by Naomi Klein. Yes, the masters of the universe want to see things go BOOM because they believe that they will be able to survive the fall with sufficient assets to come out the other side of the economic, politcal and social turmoil with even more toys and power than they currently have.

Thanks for that reference.
I’m lousy at economics, but I can’t see how an economic depression would offer any financial benefit to Trump or Musk.
So, they’ve got to be insane.

Assuming Trump doesn’t go full Alzheimer’s and shit himself on live national television while spouting about precious bodily fluids, what’s the over/under on how many times he plays the victim card tonight? Is it more or less than the number of lies?
