Hey Mike! Are you just rage posting or are you honestly surprised that USA's politicos, Mr. Vance included, are hypocritical, duplicitous, and/or disingenuous? If rage posting, are you getting paid to do so? If honestly surprised, you might want give serious consideration to getting out more.

Just another example Trump & Co. is a 2+2=5 enterprise and, by reason thereof, you pretty much live in a 2+2=5 USA these days. Vis Tecum Sit. You're gonna need it.

The 'they could also entrench the companies already on top' bit is key to why those in the AI/data biz want/invite federal level government oversight: 1 - To quelch/quash competition and protect their competitive advantage. 2 - Those in Congress are easier to MICE than those in the States.

More accurate: 'USAians' POTUS is convicted criminal'; 'USAians' Art. II Administration is criminal organization, and; 'USAians' federal government has been taken over by a criminal gang'. Point: The matter is more on USAians than Trump. Larger point: USAians COULD STOP IT IF THEY WANTED!

This wisdom has been around a long time: If battles are won through unsustainable costs, poor strategy, or ignoring the larger context, you can still lose the war. Sun Tzu, 'Art of War'. And, USA, for reasons truly mysterious, doesn't seem able to grasp it.

Yes - Freedom isn't free. But, how is IRN a threat to USA's/USAian's freedoms? We say Marshall's 'Americans are gonna ...' statement is more accurate this way: 'Some Americans are gonna have to make some sacrifices, some are not, and some are gonna make a shitload of money, some are not.'

You guys might not be in a full blown '1984' condition just yet. But, we surmise you're getting rather close. That your doofus dumbfuck POTUS wants his name and image everywhere doesn't surprise us. That USAians actually put his name up and/or hang his picture is what really amazes us. Cheers,

Don't do 'this government' strawman. Sloppy speech. Lazy Speech. Suggests sloppy and lazy thinking. Also, 'this government is lying' is a personification. Sloppy, lazy, and silly. Be precise, accurate, complete (if you can). Example: Agent X is lying. Where 'X' is real name of real person.

Hey Jamelle! 14A, Sec. 1, was 'rewritten' by SCOTUS long ago. See 169 U.S. 649 (1898). If today's SCOTUS acts in support of EO 14160, it most likely won't be because of your assertion of the 'Unitary Executive Theory' but because of what SCOTUS said in 1898. Cheers,

To use 'to demean and mark those' is to grossly, substantively, severely, and materially understate what's underway. What's occurring is a systemic campaign to dehumanize those seen as, inter alia, political enemies. Once the dehumanization occurs, the 'violent, cruel, or unnecessary' comes easy.

Impeachment is waste of time, effort, resource. POTUS is tenured employee and petty partisan protected employee as re Congress. Ergo, getting a termination of employment determination from Congress will not happen. POTUS is an at will employee as re USAians as re Art. V, US Const. Use Art. V.

'Based on nothing' is incorrect. Manifestly incorrect. The designation is very much based on something. And, you should be rather bothered by that something the designation is based on.
