if the President has the ability to nullify laws, then the US is in theory and practice, a dictatorship.

In his farewell speech, outgoing President Biden left us with this warning:
"Today, an oligarchy is taking shape in America of extreme wealth, power and influence that literally threatens our entire democracy, our basic rights and freedoms, and a fair shot for everyone to get ahead. We see the consequences all across America."
Across the WORLD, not just America.
Anyway, lots of pointing fingers, looking to the horizon (thanks Yoda), never knowing where you are at (again).
I did one more after that:
"would people vote for billionaires to enslave them"
Then this was in the results.

"Dachau was the first step on the road to atrocity. Will America go there? Eight months ago, I would have said never. At that point, America was still a nation under the rule of law. Now, we have politicians cheering the image of people being fed to alligators" and "selling swag celebrating the construction of an American concentration camp."

@wdlindsy Can't wait to see their tail spin when they realize there won't be any FEMA help.
"No state has a longer, more profit-driven history of contracting prisoners out to private companies than Alabama."
"...it has constructed a template for the commercialization of mass incarceration."
"Best Western, Bama Budweiser and Burger King are among the more than 500 businesses to lease incarcerated workers from one of the most violent, overcrowded and unruly prison systems in the U.S. in the past five years alone..."
Massive Russian Attacks!
Putin commits this outrage because he has every confidence that Trump will fail to exact ANY price.
Trump might compose an angry social media post, but Putin is clearly convinced that nothing more will happen
With his inaction, Trump shows Putin that his America is content to leave Kyiv defenceless against Russian air attacks
Putin responded logically and ordered his biggest assault yet. By withholding Patriots, Trump gave Putin a green light.

Texas Officials Blame Agency Gutted by Trump for Results of Deadly Storm

Discusses offensive racist terms
Notice the bait and switch. None of this has anything to do with "the border." It is about invading Blue cities and states. At this point they don't care about the border -- in fact it is better if the border is porous so that ICE has an excuse to continue to invade cities that the GOP doesn't like.
New York Post appealed to Trump to immediately resume aid to Ukraine.
NYT came out with an editorial - an appeal from the entire team.
The main theme: stopping aid to Ukraine is a major strategic mistake. If the US allows Russia to conquer Ukraine, it will create global risks, including the security of Taiwan.
"It's not a choice - to help Ukraine or to contain China. It's a choice - to help Ukraine and contain China at the same time."
