False inflation is down food and gas is down and prices have not increased. Manufacturers and sellers will eat the tariffs because they must sell but consumers dont have to buy.

They think since they own media they own the mark, but ours is stronger and why they are panicking in here

Dont just make a statement you have to support it

Look at the evidence. Use your own eyes and mind. I am not here to do your thinking for you.

President Trump has cited Article II to justify everything from deportations to firing civil servants—these assertions present a challenge to constitutional order.​

Poor baby.



The law demands the exclusion of illegal entry and the deportation of those who illegally enter, French Fry, and federal workers work at the pleasure of their boss the president.

Get over it, Corn Cob, You lost. Trump won. Democracy prevails as much as you hate that.

Biden gave Ukraine 100 billion in war money while letting in millions of illegals who took away your food, health care and schooling money. None of you complained. The things you mentioned haven't hurt a thing. All you guys can do is piss and moan about other countries starving so we need USAID. Who has been harmed that you personally know by the CDC, FDA and NOAA?

Nothing matters. Thats right. Lets just get rid of every consumer protection and if we all arent dead in 20 minutes it was a success.

Again, Im not above thinking we cant be more efficient but there was no study. It was just a cut. No attempt to ensure public safety.

When the speed limit was raised to 75mph from 65mph it took years to study the effects which was 8-13% more deaths. These things are evaluated over time. Not instantly. You know that but you really dont care. You only care that it was proposed by your god and lover Trump so it must be good.

The Meaning of Article II and 'Executive Power' to Trump​

President Trump has cited Article II to justify everything from deportations to firing civil servants—these assertions present a challenge to constitutional order.

During his first term, President Trump proclaimed, “I have an Article II, where I have the right to do whatever I want as president. But I don’t even talk about that.” In his second term, Trump has talked about Article II a lot. In doing so, he has asserted that he has the authority to violate statutes passed by Congress and orders and precedents of the courts.

In the two months since his inauguration, the government has taken the position in ongoing litigation that Trump’s actions prevail over statutes like the Civil Service Reform Act, the Impoundment Control Act, and the Administrative Procedure Act. Meanwhile, Trump has also openly ignored the Supreme Court’s decision in Humphrey’s Executor and a district court order limiting the deportation of individuals from Venezuela.

Aggregating the administration’s assertions about Article II reveals the challenge that Trump’s vision presents to constitutional order. He has asserted that Article II contains implied powers to remove all subordinates within the executive branch, control spending, punish national security threats, deport immigrants without due process, and ignore judicial orders related to foreign affairs. Many of these actions conflict directly with the express or implied will of Congress and the Supreme Court. At times, the president may have a colorable argument that a given statute does not apply to the current situation or that a given case recognizes an exception. The continual invocation of Article II in the face of interbranch conflict, however, suggests that the president believes Article II takes precedence over Article I and Article III.

The question here is not whether trump is asserting he has expansive power over the entirety of the government (and even areas outside of it) in ways no other prez in history ever has. That is demonstrably, unequivocally, true. The question is also not whether the unprecedented power grab is legally defensible. The question, as posed in the thread title, is "to what end?"

Is his lust for power and complete control a natural extension of his malignant narcissism? Malignant narcissism is a severe personality construct, not officially recognized in the DSM-5, that combines traits of narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) with antisocial personality disorder (ASPD) and paranoia. It is characterized by an inflated sense of self-importance, a need for admiration, a lack of empathy, and a tendency towards aggression, manipulation, and sadism. Malignant narcissists may also exhibit paranoia, feeling threatened or persecuted, and engage in manipulative or abusive behavior without remorse.

Or is there an even more nefarious design afoot. Is this a conscious attempt to change the nature of governance in the US? Does he have innate authoritarian impulses he can not suppress, surrounding himself with enablers who never question those impulses? Or has the end game always been to transform the nation in to an autocracy?

All federal executive power vest in him and him alone

This is the thing citygator, and it is that we cannot have 100% of everything our hearts desire. There are tradeoffs. Just the other day, another big rig driver caused 3 tragic deaths. During the Obama years in our compassion we allowed illegal aliens to drive trucks. Since then, there have been numerous deaths and accidents because they can't speak or read English. Far more deaths than any CDC cuts but no liberals care about that or mention it because they think everyone who wants to be here should be and if that causes deaths, crimes and misery, so what. They can feel good in their "compassion".

To assert that cuts of personnel at those agencies cause deaths is a scare tactic. You have no proof of that. Let's talk about the sped limit issue. Does the increase cause more deaths? Probably. But there's the thing. If the speed limit were 50 and studies showed that saved even more lives, do you want to crawl along on a freeway at 50?

There are trade-offs. The liberal mindset is that if just ONE life is saved, and it costs billions, we should o it. That is, until we run out of money for all these things and programs the liberals want.
