I don't think because we wanted to is actual legal authority.

Q: On the Venezuela vessel strike, what legal authority were you guys working under?

JD VANCE: The legal authority is there are people who are bringing -- literal terrorists -- who are bringing deadly drugs into our country

So couch boy doesn't know what: 1) the word literal means; 2) the word terrorists means; and 3) the word legal means.

The trifucta!

That poor Polish president, having to sit next to Whacky Demented Nazi Grandad while he raves in public...and it's all live on TV. I'm sure he is wondering why the ◊◊◊◊ he even bothered to waste his time and come to the USA in the first place.

The current Polish president is a close ally of the Piss party, a wacky, demented nazi cult.

Democracy - successful democracy - is utterly dependant on enough voters taking the time to properly inform themselves about the people and policies they are voting for. For whatever reason, in more and more countries in the world, voters are choosing not to do that work, but to instead happily and mindlessly swallow whichever lies most appeal to their prejudices. They are thereby allowing themselves to be manipulated into electing fascists. That's when democracy fails.



What matters more is whether the voters who democratically elected him wanted him to act as a traditional president or as an absolute monarch. So far I see little evidence that they have any problem with his actions.

Democratic elections are also dependent on said elections being free and fair and that eligible voters are not disenfranchised illegally. In the US meeting the first condition is questionable at best (and definitely not met in red states), and the country flat out fails the second test.

Yeah, more imports.

But just imagine how much money all those imports mean, with foreign countries sending Trump piles of cash, because that's totally what tariffs are and try not to imagine they're an import tax importers pay to import stuff. Don't be silly panicans. Just trust us it's free money. So much money. No, you can't see it. But we have so much cash we don't know where to put it all. Just imagine us building sofas or whatever out of wads of banknotes.

No we can't afford to sustain poor people's medical cover.

Just don't let JD Dunce get near those sofas!
 
Constitution you say?

Trump DOJ is looking at ways to ban transgender Americans from owning guns, sources say

In the wake of the Minneapolis Catholic church shooting, senior Justice Department officials are weighing proposals to limit transgender people’s right to possess firearms, according to two officials familiar with the internal discussions.

The talks, described as preliminary in nature, appear to build on an idea that has gained some currency in conservative media since the Minneapolis shooting that killed two children and injured 21, most of them children, at Annunciation Catholic Church, an attack that police say was carried out by a 23-year-old transgender woman.

Such a move would represent a dramatic escalation of the Trump administration’s fight against the rights of transgender Americans.

An embarrassed National Rifle Association says it totally forgot to do the one thing it has been saying for years it is solely there to do.

No love for the NRA from me. You would be surprised by how many gun owners don't like the NRA very much.

Trump was democratically elected. Any resistence, armed or not, has already rejected democracy

That is a really, really, simplistic read of why Trump won.
Of course you seem to have written off the USA and the American People. As an American, I thinkyou are totally wrong.

It really seems like a US administration carrying out the extrajudicial killing of 11 people in a boat, claiming they were drug dealing gang members while producing no evidence that this was the case, and now scrambling to come up with a retrospective legal justification ought to be a bigger story.

Not with all the other crap happening today, RFK and vaccines dominating the news.
