It is striking how Republicans are more interested in cultural issues than economic issues. They’d rather go broke than allow transgenders to exist, or God forbid participate in sports of the opposite sex. They also love conspiracy theories of any sort. Pathetic.

Who are the players in Trump’s “radical brain trust?” Clearly, Trump has neither the ability or knowledge to come up with effort after effort to fix the mid-term elections, not to mention other law breaking efforts. Who and where are all these devious efforts being created to put on Trump’s desk?

Vance dismisses Watergate scandal, says ‘deep state’ went after Nixon - The Washington Post. Vance seems remarkably ignorant of history. Republicans ended Nixon’s presidency and they have never before been called the “deep state.”

It’s here. Barbara McQuade was the first person I heard refer to Trump’s running the government like a mafia boss. She truly knows because she’s prosecuted a lot of of them. When I learned she was writing a book I could only wait. Now that it’s in my hands, it will be devoured quickly. More soon.

Powerful statements pulling no punches regarding the murders on the high seas by American fighters following illegal orders apparently with a faux justification by DOJ lawyers who should be disbarred. Ambassador Eisen is raising the key issue: can Americans now get away with murder under Trump?

If you missed Trump‘s speech to the military leadership, or have been snoozing since he resumed Office, it appears that he and roughly 30% of the voting population that support him, want the 70% that does not to give up our liberties and freedom. If we don’t, he will take them using our military.

More on TRUMP TARIFFS: I have 6 AI platforms on my iPhone. Perplexity & ChatGPT5 do a decent job with legal analysis. AI’s bottom line is the Supreme Court (with CJ Roberts the swing vote) will strike down Trump‘s tariffs in a 5/4 decision. A good test for political/legal prognostication by AI.

When the history of this era is written, it will be seen that the politicized US Supreme Court under CJ John Roberts is just another political body appended to the executive branch. The six conservatives on that court are in fact radicals.

The mainstream media is way too silent on Trump‘s enablers, his staff that is cooking up all these weird and radical schemes. For Pete’s sake, Trump doesn’t even know what he might be doing, let alone how to execute these absurd authoritarian ploys. EXPOSE THEM. Some are soluble in sunlight. :-)

Trump’s use of emergency powers for policy and governing priorities rather than truly unexpected and serious crises is the short road to American autocracy. The GOP Congress will not stop him. Has the US Supreme Court realized that if they don’t, he will likely eliminate their significance as well?
