The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

For not one of his signature initiatives during his first hundred days in office does Donald Trump even have the authority under the Constitution and laws of the United States. Not for the crippling global tariffs he ordered unilaterally; not for his unlawful deportations of hundreds of immigrants to El Salvador’s squalid maximum security prison, CECOT; not for his deportation of U.S. citizens to Honduras; not for his defiantly corrupt vow and order from the Great Hall of the Department of Justice to weaponize the Department against his personal political enemies; not for his evil Executive Orders against the nation’s law firms and lawyers in personal vendetta for their representation of his political enemies and clients of whom he personally disapproves; not for his corrupt executive orders against honorable American citizens and former officials of his own Administration, Chris Krebs and Miles Taylor, a former DHS chief of staff who dared criticize Trump anonymously during his first term; not for his unlawful bludgeoning of the nation’s colleges and universities with unconstitutional demands that they surrender their governance and curricula to his wholly-owned federal government; not for his impoundment of billions of dollars of congressionally-approved funds or his politically motivated threats to revoke tax exemptions; not for his attempt to alter the rules for federal elections; not for his direct assault on the Fourteenth Amendment’s birthright citizenship guarantee; not for his mass firings of federal employees; not for Elon Musk and DOGE’s ravaging of the federal government; not for his threats to fire Federal Reserve Board Chairman Jay Powell; not for his unconstitutional attacks on press freedoms; and finally, not for his appalling arrest of Judge Dugan."

telos.news - Donald trumps days of lawlessness

We have a corrupt and lawless president. Those who support him on the basis of “law and order” have turned reality on its head and are as lawless as he is.
