So the president is openly threatening to use emergency powers to seize private property, bypass Congress, and divert disaster relief funds so that the military can build his pet project. The people who freaked out over a training exercise should be all over this.

Let him veto it
“Sorry, I won’t allow a vote on this critically important bill even though it’ll probably pass, because the President will just veto it.”

Whenever someone complains about newer Star Trek being “ruined” by social justice…
Yep. Whenever someone complains about newer #StarTrek being “ruined” by social justice or progressive issues, unlike the older series…I have to wonder whether they ever actually *watched* the show they claim to remember so fondly.

I’m reminded of the cartoon with the billboard of a wolf campaigning on the slogan, “I will eat you.” If you’re cynical enough to assume candidates will break their promises, take it further & assume they’ll keep only the ones you disagree with.

I realize people disagree about a lot of things in politics, but I’d like to think that “Let’s not throw chemical weapons at toddlers” would be part of our common baseline, not a partisan issue.

Our government was deliberately set up to avoid concentrating too much power in one person. Congress, the President & courts are independent of each other, not subservient. Even within the executive branch, people don’t swear personal loyalty to the President like a feudal king.
