Free Republic

Bad language.

The Supreme Court didn’t “back Trump’s effort”. The Supreme Court took no position (nor should they) on how many workers the Federal government needs to employ.

What the Supreme Court did do was to say Article II section 1 remains in force, that the executive Power of the US is vested in a single individual, at the moment DJT, and that determining the workforce needs of the Executive Branch is included in the executive Power of the US.

“ There must be a way to legally destroy that perfidious strategy.”

You cannot defeat revolution within the limits of existing law.

Congress is supposed to govern DC.

They are assigned to legislate for DC “in all cases whatsoever”.
That term had a specific meaning for the people who wrote the Constitution, and it didn’t include anything remotely resembling Muriel Bowser.

The governance of DC is not an Executive Branch function. At all.

Trump’s tax vision is irrelevant.

Congress passes the tax laws, and they get very rich doing it. Nothing fundamental is going to change.

New York next, please.

Nonresident permits are not allowed.

It's not a paradox.

The only thing most Americans hate worse than Democrats - is Republicans.

Here’s the deal with MAGA.

We had to do it. There was no alternative.

But it might not be enough. It’s the last chance for a peaceful solution.
Bug we may need to move on to other solutions.

I think the roundups are theater, but they make the very important points that if you broke in here, you’re not welcome, you’re not safe, the hammer can fall at any time, and please leave.

They are just as important as getting the seriously bad guys and sending them to South Sudan or some other hellhole.

“ seriously the majority of the US Government despises Israel they would love to find a reason to bash them”

Except for the 538 clapping seals on the AIPAC payroll.

The premise of this all other similar stories that appear daily in the NYT, the Boston Globe, WaPo, etc is that people will believe there is something WRONG with enforcing our laws and that people who are living her in open defiance of our laws are somehow in the right.

I think this is a disaster for the Democrats, and they should be encouraged to push these stories as long and as hard as they can - because it’s killing them.

Even people who are sympathetic to those whose lives are being disrupted will, at the end of the day, say, “you broke the law, you have to go”.

Your proposal is acceptable

Yes, there are still people whose world view includes Mark Levin rolling up Mossad interference in American internal affairs.

I’m quite sure the FBI and the CIA know all about the Epstein operation, and have tons of incriminating evidence.

And, obviously, EDKH.

But I think this idea of a “list” is mistaken, or misguided. There probably isn’t a “list”, in the sense that the “show us the list” people mean it.

In order for Epstein and Maxwell to lure targets into compromising situations, they needed lots of non-targets to associate with them, to establish social proof and make a visit to one of the blackmail sites seem reasonable.

They offered zero cost jet transportation to many people as part of the operation.

The “flight logs”, for example. Every takeoff and landing is logged as a “flight”. Epstein took Clinton Foundation people,
including Bill and Hillary, on a long trip to Africa and India (to further their personal grift) that consisted of 26 “flights”.

People still post here all the time that Bill Clinton went to Epstein Island 26 times, and cite the flight logs of that Foundation trip as proof. In fact, although the flight logs have been public for years, there are no records of either Clinton going to the Virgin Islands on Epstein’s plane.

And why would they? If they wanted perverted sex from Epstein, they could get it on the Upper East Side, in Florida, in New Mexico, in Paris, and heaven knows how many other places.

The imaginary “list” is a list of sexual encounters between minors and adults. THAT list probably doesn’t exist. The real list is famous scientists, artists, explorers,and academics who gave lectures or led tours under the Epstein brand so that his targets could feel safe going to events at his homes or even on his island.

When I had a factory job before medical school, I joined the union (local 812 IBT), and had a card with the union rules on it, one of which was “no crossing craft lines”.

Now, I’m not as smart as Elon, but I am aware of some difficulties smart people get into, one of which is the idea that if I excel at something, other stuff that is done all the time by dummies (like politics) should be easy to master.

Elon apparently hasn’t run into that problem yet. But he has time.

I thought it was Dick Cheney that had the Rethuglican weather machine that Bushitler used to attack New Orleans?

Things were so much simpler back then.

My grandpa took me to Macy’s Herald Square on the subway on January 3, 1959 to buy a 49 star flag.

It wasn’t very well made but he was a patriot and wanted to be the first.

I still have it, it’s pretty fragile and if I flew it I’m sure it would disintegrate - but it’s a nice memory.

Incidentally, in 1959 Macy’s still had an entrance from the subway platform. Imagine?

“Trump promised”

The President doesn’t write laws.

I am a believer that the organs of State Security executed JFK.

But this story?

That the CIA would not have been heavily engaged with a US Marine working in intelligence who defected to the USSR, married a Soviet citizen, AND THEN CAME BACK?

The CIA would have been on LHO like white on rice, JFK or no JFK.

How about this instead: "Free Republic advocates a return to constitutionally limited government, reserving all government powers not expressly delegated by the constitution to the United States to the States respectively, or the people".

That's what you sign on to when you open a user account.

So, look - the Constitution is short, you should have to pass a brief test about its content before you can post.

Senators are sent by States, so the Chief Executive of a State can appoint a replacement.

Representatives are sent by the People, so only the People can replace them.

The Constitution is a remarkably intricate piece of work.
