Trump Dictatorship and All Things Politics

People are coming together. Slowly more and more people are starting to realize how far off track the uniparty has taken America. Especially since 9/11 Bush, Obama, and Biden the corruption and destruction of America was ramped up to unbelievable levels. Biden was a vegetable and the oligarchs were able to use his corpse to do whatever the hell they wanted and people are starting to see how the autopen and payoffs were running the country. We have an administration now that is getting us back on track.

Great news. Love to see America on the right track.
 
Will the Supreme Court take away Trump's authority to impose tariffs? BTW what ever happened to the Republicans steadfast belief in free markets? Can't wait for this entire regime to be neutered.

For that to happen we are going to have to see a substantial shift in the mid-term elections. But I'm afraid by then the Republican cult will be fully numbed to everything that is happening and we will keep the same ****** people in office so nothing will change.

Viva la revolucion!

Regarding Trump and tarrifs, this was a good read in pointing areas where tariffs authority was delegated to presidents by Congress.


THERE IS NO QUESTION THAT CONGRESS has delegated significant trade authority to the president, as the ruling outlines. The Congressional Research Service identifies six statutes that grant presidential tariff powers. Three of them require specific findings by executive branch agencies that countries are either threatening national security, violating trade agreements with their conduct, or injuring a critical domestic industry. Two do not require formal findings, but the tariff rates that can be imposed are limited to no more than 15 percent in one case, and 50 percent in another.

Trump clearly didn’t want to wait around for an investigation, or to be bound by any stated limitations. Only one of the six options could give him that power: the International Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977. Under this statute, any national emergency presenting an “unusual and extraordinary threat” allows the president to “regulate … importation.” Trump’s reason for using the IEEPA, then, was purely out of convenience.

And the Congressional Research Service report:


This report examines Congress's constitutional power over import tariffs, Congress's ability to delegate some of its authority over tariffs to the President within certain limits, the scope of specific authorities Congress has delegated to the President to impose or adjust tariffs, and the ways in which courts have resolved challenges to the President's use of those authorities. The report also provides an overview of some of the legal debates surrounding recent tariff actions by the President.
 
Some simpletons have been like "trump was president from 2016-20 and it didn't get out of hand and he wasn't a dictator or a facist so that is evidence that this term will be just more of the same"

Ya, this administration will be nothing like the last one.

One difference this time is that he's elevating people he largely knows and likes, as opposed to strangers boasting impressive credentials and résumés. In his first term, he nominated a retired four-star general, James Mattis, for defense secretary. Mattis had commanded troops in wartime and was considered a blend of soldier and scholar, with a library of thousands of books.

As homeland security chief, Trump at the time chose John Kelly, another retired four-star general, whose son was killed fighting in Afghanistan.

Trump broke with both men, ousting Mattis and parting ways with Kelly after having brought him into the White House to be his chief of staff.

At the time, both Mattis and Kelly were seen as "adults in the room" who would guide a new president who'd never held public office.



That model didn't suit Trump, and he's plainly abandoning it as he shapes a new presidency.

The Gaetz and Hegseth announcements, in particular, drew backlash.

Neither has run anything as complex and consequential as the departments they’d be leading. Hegseth was deployed to Afghanistan and Iraq and served in the National Guard for more than 19 years.

"You need two things: competence and character. You need people who have deep, large, organizational experience, ideally with the public sector. We’re not seeing that with these picks,” said Max Stier, chief executive of the Partnership for Public Service, a nonprofit group devoted to improving government effectiveness.

Gaetz has been investigated over allegations of sex trafficking of a 17-year-old girl.

A Justice Department official called the Gaetz announcement "truly stunning”; another labeled it “insane.”

From bitter experience, Trump knows that he needs an attorney general he can trust implicitly, and it might be worth the political capital to battle for Gaetz's confirmation.



Little happened in Trump’s first term that angered him as much as Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ decision to recuse himself and appoint a special counsel to investigate whether there were links between his 2016 campaign and Russia.

“This is the end of my presidency. I’m f—,” Trump said, according to a report filed by the special counsel, Robert Mueller.

He went on to fire Sessions. And he later feuded with another appointee, William Barr, who angered him by saying the 2020 election wasn’t stolen, as Trump has falsely claimed.

In Gaetz, Trump would get an attorney general who has said Trump won the election that year, as well as an iconoclast who shares his willingness to upset the status quo.

“I don’t care if it takes every second of our time and every ounce of our energy," Gaetz said at a conference of conservative activists last year. "We either get this government back on our side or we defund and get rid of — abolish the FBI, CDC, ATF, DOJ, every last one of ’em if they do not come to heel."
Damn! You 100% called it!

EDIT: Punctuation matters

Imagine thinking that the way to make America great is to take "gifts" from Middle Eastern countries.
Has to be one of the greatest con jobs in known history. The whole thing, not just the plane, but the plane being another great, and obvious offering to those who cannot see: “Now can you see the con”? Nope. Or it doesn’t matter in the least.

Washington Week in Review with The Atlantic was good tonight, trying to rank the scale, and nature of the corruption, namely open and no real effort to hide, in American presidential history. Concluding what we know already, corruption on a scale and openness never seen in our history.
