Unfortunately we can't rely on the conservatives in SCOTUS to uphold the actual plain language in the US constitution or laws. The authors of the constitution knowingly did not include presidential immunity, but knowingly did so for congress. SCOTUS just made shit up! www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

The Aliens Enemies Act has plain language. We are not at WAR with a foreign government. Therefore the Trump administration cannot use the act to deport illegal aliens. Plain and simple. Why won't SCOTUS step in and declare this? Stop the anti-constitutional acts. www.archives.gov/milestone-do...

The colonists fought and won a war against the King of England. The authors of the constitution purposely gave most powers to congress and made the president weak. But now conservatives want and allow Trump to be an authoritarian. This is not liberty for all you assholes! Down with the wannabe king!

The Alien Enemies Act is not now valid: 'shall be a declared war between the United States and any foreign nation or government, or any invasion or predatory incursion shall be perpetrated, attempted, or threatened against the territory of the United States, by any foreign nation or government'.

Trump wants to move back to the time when civil servants were nothing more than corrupt grifters for the president. Because appointing political friends is always the best and most efficient way to run an agency. socialstudieshelp.com/american-his...

What utter corruption! But that has always been the case with Arizona's charter schools; lax to nonexistent oversight leads to easy fraud. Same with the unconstitutional vouchers, which are just handouts to the wealthy, and private and religious institutions. www.azcentral.com/story/opinio...

Why do science fiction creators almost always imagine aliens as human? The probability of aliens looking humanoid is so infinitesimally small to be irrelevant. Of the tens of millions of species on earth, with a myriad of forms, humans are but 1. Evolution will have different results on each planet.

Why do people want to build humanoid robots? Compared to other mammals, humans are slow, weak, lacking in sharp teeth and claws. It is not our form that has led to our abundance, but rather the combination of being highly social animals with high intelligence. www.investing.com/news/stock-m...

Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 and Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 allowing presidents to impose tariffs are blatantly unconstitutional. Article 1, sec 8 delineates congressional powers, one of which is: 'To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations'. The constitution is supreme!

This is a good first baby step. But the real changed needed is that laws should apply equally to EVERYONE! No one should be immune just because they were elected to office! The entirety of Article 4, Part 2, section 6 should be deleted. www.azcentral.com/story/opinio...

There is a large correlation between incompetence and overconfidence (Dunning-Kruger effect). Which explains to a 'T' Mr. Trump. There has never been any president so supremely overconfident in everything while his actions show how utterly incompetent he is. Trump the confident incompetent fool.

Trump and the like-minded governors hate data that tarnishes their image; image is more important than constituent's wellbeing.

Firing civil servants does not make the government more efficient. It does the opposite--duh. Firing those in the VA was bad enough, but now firing thousands in Social Security. But I guess that is Trump-Musk-Project 2025 plan--destroy the USA to create a fucking monarchy and oligarchy. FUCK TRUMP.

The GOP propaganda that government is the problem is and has always been BS. The government is made up of Americans; it is 'We the People'. Civil servants take an oath of office to uphold the constitution, and work hard to serve all in the USA. Tearing down government is tearing down America!

Conservatives have been in power for centuries. They believe they are superior to everyone else. They declare themselves chosen. With this firmly held belief, they can create laws to justify all actions: lie, cheat, steal, kill, enslave, imprison, displace others by force, and destroy property.

Arizona's SB 1350, which made it illegal for any Arizona municipality to prohibit property owners from using their residential property for short-term rentals, was and is the main reason for the affordable housing shortage in the state. Why do the rights of one, outweigh the rights of all neighbors?
