On border policy, GOP lawmakers’ devotion to Constitution malleable The question of border security and border policy clearly falls within Article III jurisdiction, but just in case Roy or Stitt need more evidence, the Supremacy Clause and Foreign Commerce Clause both give the federal government exclusive authority over American foreign relations, and Article I, Section 10 specifically prohibits states from engaging in activities that implicate international affairs. Article 1, Section 8 also instructs the legislative branch of the federal government — not the state government — to “provide for the common defense and general welfare” of the nation. Given that the Constitution repeatedly and unequivocally states that it is the federal government which sets immigration and border policies and not the states, the Supreme Court has even gone so far as to say that with regard to matters of foreign relations, “state lines disappear” and the “purpose of the state ... does not exist.” Of course, none of this matters to Abbott, Roy or Stitt, who are taking their cues from Trump, a man facing criminal indictments for his role in inciting the violent Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol that led to the deaths of multiple police officers. As if previewing what the next round of violence might look like, Stitt has also been discussing the difficult decisions National Guard members might face if President Joe Biden were to exercise his authority as commander-in-chief and federalize the troops. While Stitt proposed hypothetical scenarios, his discussion of loyalty in the event of federalization walks right up to the line of calling for open rebellion against the U.S. government. The insinuation is important because if Stitt ordered Oklahoma’s troops to continue laying the razor wire and restricting federal access to the area, while Biden simultaneously ordered them to enter the area and remove the wire, it is possible that armed conflict could break out between American soldiers. We’ve been down this road before when President John F. Kennedy federalized the Alabama National Guard to force the integration of the University of Alabama, as well as nine previously all-white schools across the state, after Wallace attempted to use state troopers to enforce segregation. Fortunately, those encounters had peaceful outcomes. But like Wallace before them, Abbott, Stitt and Roy’s reckless displays of political theater are fraught with the risk that someone could be injured or killed for their political ends. The idea that Abbott, Stitt and Roy would promote such a tragic chain of events is shameful and worthy of full condemnation. Of course, we know that condemnation will not come, at least not from the GOP. Full article: https://lasvegassun.com/news/2024/feb/01/on-border-policy-gop-lawmakers-devotion-to-constit
Yeah, he's a real nutjob. Today the guy's spouting "BIDEN PROSECUTORS ARE TRYING TO WIN AN ELECTION FOR HIM THAT HE HAS NO CHANCE OF WINNING. THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WON’T LET IT HAPPEN!" Actually, Republicans are trying to win by putting a lying psychopathic criminal in charge of this country.

Auto buyers, who had to pay 5K more for their new cars due to steel prices, also approach Dementia Don with tears in their eyes.

Trump-era Chinese spy balloons went undetected https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-64547394 Trump Officials Admit Chinese Spy Balloons Flew Over U.S. During Previous Administration According To Latest Report https://www.forbes.com/sites/mattno...n-according-to-latest-report/?sh=2fe787546f62 Three Chinese Balloons Flew Over US During Trump Presidency https://www.bloomberg.com/news/arti...ring-trump-until-later?embedded-checkout=true
I'm pretty certain this is another trump lie, but it would sure be on the republican brand for a man to support trump after he insulted the man's wife (though this time, insulting her with racist insults)... The private angst over Donald Trump’s racist attacks on Elaine Chao goes public His rhetoric “says a whole lot more about him than it will ever say about Asian Americans.” https://www.politico.com/news/2023/01/25/elaine-chao-donald-trump-racist-attacks-00079478
Had to make trump more money... Republicans said they spent millions at Trump’s DC hotel out of convenience. They’ve all but deserted its replacement. https://www.citizensforethics.org/r...ence-theyve-all-but-deserted-its-replacement/
Ethics and the Trump family mix like oil and water. You are a fool if you believe Trump and his family isn't all about the grift.
Not much difference between an undetected Chinese Spy Balloon and no balloon at all. If the ballon is not detected, how do we know that there really, really was a ballon? amirite?
George Stephanopoulos Cuts off JD Vance Mid-Interview After He Says President Can Defy Supreme Court | Video George Stephanopoulos surprised some viewers Sunday when he abruptly cut off Sen. J.D. Vance mid-interview after the latter appeared on “This Week” and argued that it’s legal for a U.S. president to defy Supreme Court rulings.
Vance also said that, if he were VP, he would instruct states that Trump lost to submit slates of electors (ie alternate electors). I think he’s auditioning for Trump VP.
