    Stop calling it a “court.”

    It’s not a court - it’s a corrupt and compromised rubber-stamping service that just puts a quasi-legal gloss on whatever the hell the tyrant-in-chief wants to do.

    But could a Dem Pres; just let a Republican congress pass whatever budget; and just Trump that shit and say Nah! I’m gonna spend it like this… hold my beer SCOTUS.

        This actually sounds the most likely were this to happen… “Standing precedent states only GE Trump maintained the right with a House and Senate of the same party holding majorities— case dismissed “ — as a per curium with descents from the 3 liberal justices

    Does the Trump admin not understand why China is so well liked outside ”the West”? It’s because China is doing foreign policy with cash, not guns.

    Ask anyone in Africa, Asia, hell I dare say even South America who they like better, China or USA? You won’t like the answers (if you’re from the US or even from ”the West”)

    Foreign aid is the cheapest and most effective way to wield power, build good reputation and get allies.

    Having said that, my country is making the exact same mistakes with our fascist government - and the same thing seems to be happening throughout Europe so I guess we can all watch the fall of the western hemisphere together.
