  • The media and political outcry that came when President Trump temporarily froze USAID and some domestic funding revealed how the political establishment uses the plight of the most vulnerable people to keep their rigged political system in place.

    Like omnibus bills, USAID does one good thing for every 10 crimes and when you want to cut, they point to the little good things, ignoring their crimes. Same with omnibus bills, where you vote for some part that is good, while 90% is criminal spending.

    I arrived at the Buenos Aires airport and was appalled to see children in shocking condition lined up along the walkways. I learned that there is a cottage industry of beggars borrowing disabled children for this purpose. The more miserable they were, the better the take. Your emotions are targets for exploitation, particularly by supposedly helpful people, like government.

    No one judge has the right to single-handedly stop the executive branch. If so, the president has the unilateral right to stop all courts. All fake "nationwide injunctions" should be ignored by the executive.

      Look at it as a tool to prevent tyranny in the executive branch. You may not like it in this case, but it could be useful when the situation arises.

      @ it's not valid in any case. I didn't say all levels of all courts, but no one judge should be able to do that. That's insane.

      It doesn’t stop with 1 judge, though. It gets appealed up through the higher courts, right?

    • @ironcityblue
      @ironcityblue 2 дні тому

      @ right, but one judge can and often does single-handedly stop the entire executive branch on major policies long before higher courts even see it. Lawfare commies also like to file in districts they know they're likely to automatically win the first couple rounds of appeals. The Supreme Court only decides usually under 100 cases a year and it likes things to work their way through the appellate process which is how things are designed to work under a fair and good faith system but we no longer have that. IF the left gets to do that nonsense, the right should injunction every thing from a demonrat admin. No one judge should EVER have the power to shut down the entire executive branch on an issue. The executive is the ONLY "unitary" branch where that kind of power is vested in one person.

    Sounds good but it would be even better and really drive your points home if you could give examples of what you say is going on by giving real life examples and naming names of WHICH organizations are the biggest violators.
    Also EVERY person exposing the horrors, which by now, everyone knows are going on, ought to give suggestions as to what a person can do. Since we obviously can't depend on politicians since they are part of the problem..
