At this point, you may be wondering what you can do to fight the onslaught of Presidential Executive Orders that once were anathema to American Presidents, simply because they did not represent the best of America. But this "60 Minutes" story leveled the playing field; even for one ephemeral moment in our history.
"Musk gives all federal workers 48 hours to explain what they did last week or face consequences"
Dear Mr Muskrat: This is what I did last week:
On Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu & Fri -- on a new sheet of embossed government stationery, each day -- I wrote "fuck you" Muskrat 100 times in cursive.
Everyone expects the Judicial branch of our government to be the bulwark against unlimited Executive power.
I want to know what flavor of Kool-Aid they are drinking.
The Judiciary has no innate power. It's power is derived from the acquiescence of the people
So what happens if a duly elected POTUS decides to give the Judiciary the middle finger?
Nothing.....unless the people rise up and take their power back.
The power of the Judiciary, and the rule of law, comes only from principled people who are willing to accept the decision of the court.
Even the SCOTUS is not "supreme". It's nothing... if people don't agree to obey it's mandate.
So if a POTUS or any other government entity refuses to acquiesce to the rule of law, the only way to restore democracy, or the rule of law, is by revolution.
We saw it in the 1800s. We saw it, again, as recently as the 1960s. Is that where we are headed once again? Sadly, I think so and have since 2015.
I am a concerned citizen. #newsjunkie
FEDERAL BUDGET
As Republicans in Congress look for ways to slash spending, some legislators are floating new taxes on college scholarships, an end to student loan repayment plans and a big hike in taxes on university endowments. The ideas affecting higher education are among many in circulation among House committees that are exploring ways to cover the cost of extending and expanding tax cuts passed in President Donald Trump’s first term.
