Trump Just Killed His Own Trade Deal to Screw Canada (w/ Susan Glasser) | Bulwark Podcast

The missile that killed many Iranian school girls was facilitated by the Trump administration reducing staff to mitigate civilian harm.

The administration refuses to seriously discuss and inform about the US strike that blew up an Iranian girl’s school.

Secretary of Defense Hegseth got his job by advocating that Americans who committed war crimes should not be held accountable.

Lisa Graves on the Supreme Court

Five of nine Supreme Court members, and five of six Republican Supreme Court members, were executive branch attorneys dedicated to finding ways to expand presidential power at the expense of Congress. As justices, they act with a bias against Congress and in favor of presidential power…at least as long as that president is doing Conservative things.

Presidential power breaks down when the president is not faithfully enacting the laws of Congress, which he is required to do by the Constitution!, and when the president acts corruptly, aiming to enrich himself and his friends and family rather than do what is best for the country.

Trump uses his power as president to change US policy specifically to punish businesses owned or run by people who didn’t support him politically and in favor of those who do support him or are related to him.

Supreme Court Upholds Birthright Citizenship

Parties can now coordinate with candidates by using money in ways that they were previously banned from doing.

Attempts to prevent corruption with campaign finance laws has failed. We may need to rethink it. Money has found a way to affect politics even with campaign finance laws. If anything, the restrictions have made the super wealthy more powerful!

Making campaign finance more complicated with more regulation makes it harder for the smaller players to legally take part. The super wealthy have the means to figure out ways around regulation.

Why Israel-Hezbollah threatens Trump’s Iran peace plan | If You’re Listening

At the start of the Iran War, Trump straight up told the Iranian people that the US was here to help the Iranian people overthrow their theocratic government. Trump was either lying, or just gave up on that goal.

“to the great proud people of Iran, I say tonight that the hour of your freedom is at hand. Stay sheltered. Don’t leave your home. It’s very dangerous outside. Bombs will be dropping everywhere. When we are finished, take over your government. It will be yours to take. This will be probably your only chance for generations.

For many years, you have asked for America’s help, but you never got it. No president was willing to do what I am willing to do tonight. Now you have a president who is giving you what you want, so let’s see how you respond. America is backing you with overwhelming strength and devastating force. Now is the time to seize control of your destiny, and to unleash the prosperous and glorious future that is close within your reach.

This is the moment for action. Do not let it pass.”

Voting machine company drops $1B defamation suit against Mike Lindell

“The voting machine company formerly known as Dominion Voting Systems on Wednesday dropped its billion-dollar defamation lawsuit against Trump ally Mike Lindell, eight months after the company was purchased by a former Republican election official.

A jury last year issued a $2.3 million judgment against Lindell after finding he had defamed a former Dominion Voting Systems director with claims of election fraud.

A judge last September also found that Lindell defamed the voting company Smartmatic with similar false claims, but has not yet determined a dollar amount for damages. Earlier, Lindell was ordered to pay Smartmatic more than $50,000 in sanctions as a result of a “frivolous” countersuit he filed against the company.”
