Congress passed a law deligating the power to the AG. There was a congressional vote to put that law into place. Congress doesn't need to vote on every police officer that the president hires do they?

I was thinking there's no proof he didn't do this to impress Jodie Foster. We may never completely understand

Oh man, he got Elon musks support. Didn't have that before. I'll still vote against the guy trying to end the country as we know it and replace it with an actual dictatorial regime.

Chat gpt doesn't site sources, after having butchered them of intent and meaning though.

That is a state by state question. The problem people have with it, is that it frequently is done in bad faith. Here's a few examples. Alabama has been known to shut down the places where you can get proper identification in certain areas, making it so that you have to travel long distances to get the id. Something poor people have a harder time doing. North Carolina has been proven in court to do preliminary research about what kind of ID black people tend not to have, before passing a law requiring that specific ID. Texas required IDs have your exact name on it. That doesn't sound like a much of an issue, until you realize they did it months before the election, and their system for updating it takes longer. Any one who had changed their name, such as women who had taken their husband's name, would not have been allowed to vote had it not been delayed by the courts.

Money money money money money money

"She needs him, that's why she'll be back again" is much better than "she feeds him"

For number 3, if they really wanted to save us, on their last day the could "officially" order a marine to steal a lollipop from a baby. I'd give it right back, and there may be a better, less painful law, but he could break it and get charged. Maybe speeding. I wonder if there is a precident and another president has been held to the law before. I Grant you that the court in is current state would ignore it.

I do see where my mistake was here and my ignorance was sort of awkwardly positioned. I was aware of the Prussian Austrian front, and had the impression that that was the start. The years given for the war here seem to coincide with that don't, but wars start before official dates. That's not a good reason at all, in fact the separate page for the French and Indian War give the earlier year. It's a poor excuse for my ignorance. In these wars within wars some people, myself as well, can get confused.

I wonder why the colonies were in that war to begin with. Was it because GB dragged them in kicking and screaming, and the people living there had no say in the matter?

Which is why the are... not using this extreme right wing power.

Watch as the Supreme Court use the supremacy clause to counter act this. If they've already reached this far, I don't think that's a lot further to reach

It's going to be a fight to get your future back. Don't get comfy. They need to do the work to fix what was broken. I assume, not a brit

The constitution has decreed a two term limit, now let us see it enforce it. Pieces of paper may tell us how power is to be used, but in the end paper is paper, and power is power. A lot of Americans call on the power of the constitution while ignoring what it says.

They also said that official acts cover just about everything when using presidential power, and you can't take motive into account when determining if it's an official act or not. Shooting a gun at someone himself. Not official sure. Ordering someone in the military to do it. You can't ask why he did it, and if it was legal, why would immunity matter?

Weird. He said isis wouldn't exist 30 days into his presidency almost 8 years ago. Isis still exist. Anyone who says Trump did what he said he was going to do is delusional.

Yeah, it was a giant company town.

We had this conversation in 2016 about beating isis in 30 days. Turned out he lied about the plan. Besides if biden had to follow trumps plan that would mean that it was trumps plan right? It would be a better argument for trump to get into office. It would mean that biden has to do what trump says to get things done.

The truth is, Trump is lying about having a plan like in 2016. I didn't fall for it then. I won't fall for it now. If you're falling for it again, it's pathetic.

You can't say lesser evilism got us here when we chose the greater evil in the election before last. If we kept voting lesser evil maybe, but we don't consistently. Not nearly enough to make the greater evil not think they stand a chance without lessening themselves.
