It really makes it easier now that The Constitution doesn't matter anymore.
Prelude to deploying the Army domestically and bypassing the Posse Comitatus Act.
A reminder that Trump voters have barely moved on approval; this is what they wanted. Be sure to treat them the way they deserve.
what would Republicans do without the for every four year boogie monster?
These developments worry me. The legislative handed over some quasi-legilative power to the executive under the theory that in cases of national security incidents you need to react quickly. It's been getting abused for a while, the "national security" interest has been stretched a lot to cover whatever the executive would like to do without the legislative.
This has been happening for years, not just during Trump. But now it's getting even worse under the second Trump cabinet. I think this could lead to a toppling of the checks and balances if the legislative doesn't step in soon, and reclaim their devolved powers.
"insurgents." America is the new Middle East.
Thank you Bush/Cheney
