According to the US Constitution there are three co-equal branches of government, the executive, legislative, and judicial. But that's old hat. The Trump autocratic regime has effectively emasculated the Rs in Congress. But now Trump is upset that some federal judges have the audacity to rule against him for doing an end run around Congress to implement the changes in his policy agenda. Since Trump has never understood how the government works, I suppose we should give him a pass for being a sh!t-for-brains about how the US government functions. So now the Trumpster is contemplating about ignoring judicial rulings that he disagrees with. Such a fascinating trifecta! No more balance of power is the US government. The law of the land would be whatever Trump's daily whim happens to be. And voters believed Trump wasn't a threat to democracy. Jokes on them!

America survived because people believed in the process that was established. There was respect for the law, respect for rhetoric decisions of the Courts. If you didn't like the decisions you could always write new law. But now, if there is no respect for the law as enunciated then we're screwed.

That's all? What about new AG Bondi and Bove ordering DOJ prosecutors to drop all charges against NYC mayor Adams, when there's a solid case that he violated several federal laws? Is the law of the land now that if you promise to be a Trump ball washer your crimes get dismissed? Cuz that's exactly what this looks like.

They dropped it because he became a political target for speaking out over bidens immigration policies and willing to work with ice. Adams would have told you the same thing months ago when it was brought up. And im no fan of Adams Salmo, answer this for me. Why did fema send 59mil to house illegals in ny last month? Why is Ferguson crying on tv that his sanctuary city federal funding is gone. You know, the medicaid dollars being used to pay for trans surgeries and defending childmutilation services. The majority of people didn't vote for that. Now that he isn't receiving fed money anymore, he clearly stated that he will use state dollars to fund dei to "progress wa government." maybe somebody should tell him that going from having a 20bil surplus to now have a 16bil deficit because of overspending is the opposite of progress. I didn't expect him to know the difference anyway with their track record.

Spoon,

It looks like you dodged the question. In the Trump administration, is it now the law of the land that you can have your criminal charges dropped if you're a Trump ball washer?

It appears pretty clear that Adams broke several federal laws. And Trump's DOJ is willing to give Adams a pass cuz he's willing to cooperate with immigration officials. I think all government agencies should cooperate with immigration. I also think Adams should be prosecuted.

I don't know that FEMA spent $59 million to house illegals, let alone why. Not a fan of Fergie, although he did start out better than I and many expected. Is there evidence or proof that Medicaid is paying for trans surgeries and child mutilation? Seriously, how many trans surgeries are performed per year, and are they all paid for via Medicaid? That doesn't show up in the news that I read. Nor does child mutilation.

I've read several times in recent months, going back to last summer, that trans talk makes up about 50% of conservative talk, but less than 1% of the population is trans. Is this "much ado about next to nothing?"

Yeah, I'm not for more state taxes when WA had a $11 billion (I heard) and somehow produced a $12 billion deficit when state revenue was increasing in record amounts. But then Inslee was a classic tax and spend. I need hella' explanation before I willingly chip in another dollar.

Adams became a target before trump was elected. Anybody else that criticized the biden administration like he did in public. And i stand corrected. It was 80mil that fema sent to new work to house illegal immigrants in hotels. The few fema members involved, were fired. And when you cry on TV like turd did about not receiving federal dollars, then follow that children will suffer if they cant get these procedures. What does that say? Were now in a 16bil deficit and they still want to double down on trump lawsuits that they wont win and using tax money to fund dei. That's why were in a hole. Mismanagement 101.

Spoon,

I'm not reading you clearly. Are you saying Adams is not guilty of taking bribes and committing fraud and whatever else he is accused of? Or are you saying that those crimes are OK so long as you do cooperate with ICE?

And if you have a position on whether it's OK for Trump to ignore federal court rulings that he doesn't like, what is it, and why?

The extreme cuts to Federal funding are needed. Especially to states like ours. Did the wacko left need a wake up on all of the destructive and insane policies, DEI, Trans-gender funding, etc? Absolutely. They can only blame themselves for Trump getting re-elected. It was time for a shake up and re-evaluation of where our money goes. When the dust settles, it will be sorted. Fergie and his AG secretly are in ecstasy because this all gives them the relevance and attention they desperately seek from their elitist bourgeois base.
