So you are saying that trump has the lowest and second lowest approval ratings of all time for a newly elected president and that Democrats suck.
I agree.
It's nice to not be a trumper or a Democrat.

You’re so ****ing stupid. “democrats suck, but I repeat democrat talking points and follow the democrat narrative without fail, and I’ve done so for years, and years. I only read news from the Democrat bias msnbc media and repeat everything they tell me.” Dur

To you anti trump means Democrat. There are only two types of people in your world. That's why you are dumb and why I'm also dumb for ever conversing with someone whose thinking is so binary. I have literally voted for Republicans in the last 2 elections. Just not for president. Would have voted for Nikki Haley over Harris or Biden. You know, like all Democrats would do. (That was sarcasm btw. I know how you struggle with understanding sarcasm) I'm registered as unaffiliated. Also funny that you think msn is the same thing as MSNBC. Lol


And with that, I'm done with you.

Why is a South African who supported apartheid and recently gave a hiel Hitler salute and spoke at a far right rally in Germany so obsessed with skin color? It’s a mystery to me. If this were my tribe, I’d be looking for a different tribe.

Sure hope Elon cuts at least this much, and this is just what Tesla has received from Fed and local subsidies. $2B

Space X got $3.3B in the last 12 months.

Democrats demand investigation into Musk's alleged 'conflicts' over billions in fed contracts

House Judiciary Democrats sent a terse letter Friday to Attorney General Pam Bondi, expressing concerns that Elon Musk’s role at DOGE creates "conflicts of interest."

What’s the point in having other branches of government then? Why not just have an absolute monarch? Why even fight a war and have a revolution if we just wanted to live like this? What recourse do we the people have when a leader decides he doesn’t have to obey the constitution, judges, and court orders and becomes a law unto himself? Thomas Jefferson had some thoughts about lawless tyrants.

What will Americans do in the 21st century when weak obese men decide to become dictators?

Btw, just imagine what Fox News and social media would’ve said had Harris tweeted something like this out after student loan forgiveness had been blocked by the courts. “Both parties are the same” amiright???

What’s the point in having other branches of government then?

For the same purpose of having things like individual rights, the tenth amendment, and jurisdiction. The point is to put limits on power. The Yale lawyer is correct when he says a judge cannot tell a general how to conduct a military operation because their jurisdiction does not extend there. It is the same reason the State Department in the Executive Branch negotiates treaties, but the treaty is non-binding until the Senate in the Legislative Branch ratifies it.

The Yale lawyer is saying the judge in this instance has overstepped the limits of their judicial power, and he has a point.

It doesn't matter. Trump is termed out and doesn't have to concern himself with running again. He is free to do what is right, and that is what he has set about doing.

Elon doesn't have the power to cut anything, but it appears the cuts recommended are going to dwarf that amount. The axing of the SLS program alone will save taxpayers $3 billion per year.

Boeing has informed its employees that NASA may cancel SLS contracts

The White House has not made a final decision yet on the large rocket.

What a concept! Power to the people through an elected president and his appointees. Imagine being upset that the candidate nobody wanted and nobody voted for lost an election. Democrats are the dumbest people ever. Is it any wonder the dumbest morons on earth are so brain washed?

“It’s still early days and the challengers are selecting friendly jurisdictions in which to file their suits,” said Ilya Shapiro, director of constitutional studies at the Manhattan Institute.

He said the birthright citizenship case, for example, is “destined for the Supreme Court.” He figured other cases will come more sharply into focus as Mr. Trump hones in on what he’s trying to accomplish, such as with his spending pause.

“But in any event, these executive actions are much better lawyered than the flying-by-the-seat-of-the-pants moves eight years ago,” Mr. Shapiro said.

Underpinning Mr. Trump’s early moves is a sense of expansive executive powers.

Stephen Vladeck, a law professor at Georgetown University, wrote in an opinion piece that Mr. Trump is following through on what’s become known as the unitary executive theory of the presidency. That view, espoused by conservatives in particular, holds that since the president is elected by voters, he has full personal authority over the operations of the executive branch.

Bonus 121: The Unitary Executive Runs Amok

The Supreme Court may (and should) reject the broadest claims of executive power being made by the Trump administration. But it bears significant responsibility for enabling them in the first place.

Trump and the 'unitary executive': The presidential power theory driving his 2nd term

President Trump's flurry of executive actions and orders spark a critical question: Does he have the power he claims to have?

In the long run, this is just asking for trouble.

A Unitary Executive on Steroids Threatens to Crush the Constitution | ACS

www.acslaw.org

About halfway through his first term as president, Donald Trump declared, “I have an Article II, where I have the right to do whatever I want as president.” In the first three weeks since his second inauguration, the Trump administration seems to be taking this belief in a “unitary executive” to its extreme ends.….

In mid-2019, when Trump began more frequently referencing Article II of the U.S. Constitution, which vests executive power in the president, most observers assumed that it reflected his belief that he could have directed the U.S. Attorney General to shut down the investigation of then-Special Counsel Robert Mueller.

This go around, Trump seems to be taking to heart his belief that he “has the right to do whatever [he] wants as president.” From his first day in office, Trump has declared a culture war on diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility programs, on the phantom threat of Marxists, on so-called “gender ideology,” and the ill-defined boogeyman “wokeness,” and he is using his asserted absolute control over the executive to conduct his war…..

The unitary executive theory has always been a dangerous idea given the risk of presidential overreach and abuse of power. And Trump is practicing a unitary executive on steroids, brazenly stepping on Congress’s constitutional power and daring a House and Senate controlled by his party to stop him. Congress can and should reclaim its role, and as litigants file suits, the federal judiciary can also weigh in. Without pushback from the other two branches of government, however, there’s no telling how hulking Trump’s unitary executive may become.
