I am responding to the post below as it is way off topic from the board where it was posted.

The poster said his last straw was when Biden ignored the Supreme Court. The fact is that the Supreme Court was not ignored. The ruling was recognised and a different path was taken which was legally acceptable.

Should the current US Executive decide to ignore judicial rulings or should the judicial branch crumple under pressure and cede its core Constitutional authority between now and then, our decision will become much less complicated for us, albeit far more sad.

I agree, the last straw for me was when he ignored the Supreme Court on student loan forgiveness!!!

Speaking in Culver City, Calif., on Wednesday, Mr. Biden said his original plan to “provide millions of working families with debt relief for their college student debt” was derailed by “MAGA Republicans” and “special interests” who challenged the plan in court. “The Supreme Court blocked it,” Mr. Biden added, “but that didn’t stop me.” He apparently thinks defying the law is a virtue.

Aussi,

Thanks for being the better person. I was going to reply to VIIIandXX's post on the Berkshire board with this, and I'm glad you took it here and were the bigger person. Your good example helped me be a better person in that moment. My copied reply is below the dashes.

The original shameful and dishonest post is https://www.shrewdm.com/MB?pid=600713575

Fine if we're talking politics here, I won't bother posting elsewhere.

One should not be dishonest or intentionally ignorant. That is basic kindergarten and 10 Commandments level ethical advice, like you tell a child. I don't know which you are doing and I do not care.

Biden abided by the courts decision, and worked on an alternate approach that passed legal muster. You are just cherry picking a quote to make it appear otherwise. You can disagree with the outcome, but he respected the ruling and independence of the judiciary. That is a fundamental difference, and while many people would be disappointed with the current administration's policies if respected the judicial branch and the American system of government in general, they would not be divesting and moving out of the country in a hurry.

Don't you think that it is alarming that a number of longstanding, generally apolitical, conservatively tempered members of this board are leaving the country and selling US assets? Doesn't that give you pause, or some degree of concern?
