President Trump

Can you give examples of when the current SCOTUS has done this?
You don’t have to look any further than the verdict in the Immunity case or the dicta in the disbarment case where the court said that the constitution meant that Congress had to declare that the subject had engaged in insurrection. The constitution says no such thing.
 


Blokes totally lost his mind, can't believe we are in this timeline. How on earth has this been posted to his account.....

He really is truly deranged. To treat this geopolitical issue with such flippancy sums him up. I want someone to put a bullet through the grotesque orange mess and do the world a favour.

Unfortunately, unlike most here, you are not a layperson. To take the disbarment case for example where did they hold that the words of the constitution does not mean what it say?
You and I both know SCOTUS did not do that.

Rather it made clear what ought to have been obvious... It determined the entity who had the power to determine whether an officer had committed an insurrection... And that body ( which the constitution did not outright specify), but common sense suggests, is Congress.

And how do we know common sense suggests it should be Congress? Because its states right there in the Constitution who has the power to override such a disqualification, Congress!

But in no where did SCOTUS claim the words of the Constitution doesn't mean what it says

As for the Immunity case, there is no section claiming the Constitution does not mean what it says --- If you have specific quotes from either ruling, feel free to provide.


I know you were being flippant with the original comment. But that's how these claims build on itself, and before you know it there is a cadre of self delusional characters suggesting SCOTUS is just nothing but a stooge for Trump's Future Fuhrer status...


No one here listens to me, perhaps for good reason:) so i implore you to take the mantle of clearing things up for the folks here...

More of a technical thing, but the GOP budget resolution that just passed the House requires $2tn in savings to accommodate $4.5tn in tax cuts. There's really nowhere to find those savings except by devastating programs that heavily benefit low-income Trump voters, like Medicaid and food stamps. If it goes through a lot of the big brains in rural America stand to lose their health insurance and food support trying to save a dollar on eggs.
$23tn added to the deficit over the next 10 years apparently.

I think if you read a meaning into something but the original does not say that, it is reasonable to suggest that words may be being mangled. In SCOTUS’ case it is doubly true as elsewhere they claim to be textualists. But this is all dancing on a pinhead: you are right that my remark was light hearted.
I don’t think SCOTUS will prove to be Trump’s lackey as much of what he is doing is an attack on the judiciary in his attempt to raise the Executive above the other co-equal parts of governance. We will have to see whether they err on the side of backing the judiciary, I hope and believe there is a fair chance they will.
 
Right, here goes.

Firstly, I would like to unconditionally apologise for my open, full support for Trump.

To be clear there are aspects of him that I still admire (maybe thats a bit strong) as I do like any Politician that does as they say they will do, and like him or not that is a trait (not quality) that Trump has. However, how he has executed what he is doing is totally and utterly disastrous. I must admit his megalomaniac behaviour is totally unacceptable.

I wish our politicians would stop, as they regularly do, kicking every difficult issue into the long grass and failing to answer direct questions, however I am thankful they are not behaving in the way Trump is at present. There has to be a happy medium but I regretfully believe we will not see it in Trump

I genuinely believe we are very close to the edge of WWIII.

There, now you have it - go fill your boots and have a massive pile on.

It takes a lot to admit you were wrong. Sadly, there are a lot of people who either can't or won't until it is too late.
 
Actually, there was a lot of anti-American feeling at the time amongst European politicians. Rather than a purpose of screwing America, though, it was to set up a third force between US and Russia.
There was, and for good reason. Smaller European states were getting a raw deal. The EU provided a more cohesive trading block which helped both sides.
