    A thorough summary of what’s going on. It’s up to the judiciary now. Will the Republican-appointed judges in the Supreme Court oppose him, either out of patriotism or pride? I’m quite concerned, because I didn’t expect the Republicans in Congress to give up that institution’s authority but they have done so. I don’t know if Congress will have any power left by the time the Democrats have a chance to gain the majority there in the midterms.

      10 democrats and one independent voted with them. Including the senate minority leader.

    Just do what he does and totally ignore everything. Unless there is prison time being threatened it’s all a farce.

      I guarantee before this is all over that motherfucker will be throwing politicians into prison just for being in opposition to his fascism. They won’t say that’s the reason, of course.

          Well maybe if Russia had better building codes, they wouldn’t have so many balconies without railings and people wouldn’t be accidentally falling off them all the time 😇

        I agree but I don’t think they will make up another reason. They haven’t been very vague about anything this far. They’re just testing the water to see what they can get away with, and so far it has been “anything”
