@TheCIAlovesme @Leopardonbackup @bartond2020 @charliekirk11 But it’s not at all like that, so there’s that…

@TheCIAlovesme @Leopardonbackup @bartond2020 @charliekirk11 Precisely.

It would cost far less than what we have to pay to the federal government that grafts off ⅓ of our taxes, spends 2/3 on useless government programs and then pretends to send us some of our own money back. And the method of controlling interstate issues is called “state compacts.” And, if a state pollutes another state, that state can sue in federal court. We don’t need the EPA to stick its nose in state business.

@MerelMilou @Esweeney7 @DemocraticWins The war on drugs can be won by destroying the cartels who are smuggling drugs into the US, along with those who supply them, facilitate them or look the other way.

@Esweeney7 @MerelMilou @DemocraticWins Doesn’t matter where they are “primarily” coming from, it only matters that it, and illegal aliens, are coming from Canada and the Canadian government not only welcome them into Canada, but facilitates them illegally entering the United States.

@VeelseeMedia @samschil @RobinSMessing @JamesSurowiecki Stop reading Zinn’s “People’s History of the United States,” it’s communist propaganda.

@MerelMilou @Esweeney7 @DemocraticWins Hardly. When your trading partners betray you and try to destroy your country with drugs and fifth-columnist invaders tariffs are the very LEAST we can do. By all rights we can invade and overthrow those countries and take them and their assets for our own.

@getudachoppa @shea_jordan Didn’t I? Or did I and I simply reject the stupid claims of the AGs and the illegal actions taken by the judge?

Yeah, Russia interfered on Biden’s behalf and his crooked, drug-addled son committed numerous financial crimes involving Ukraine. And you have exactly zero evidence that Trump sold any classified “intel” to anyone. That is a malicious leftist lie used to cover up Biden’s totally illegal possession of classified documents for 40 years.

The President has the power to do literally anything he wants with classified (or any other) documents. He is the plenary power when it comes to all government documents with the exception of a very few nuclear secrets Congress has specified. If he deems it necessary he can take a classified documents listing every single covert CIA agent and hand it to the New York Times for publication simply by waiving his hand and saying “I declassify thee.” NO ONE can prevent him from doing so or even delay the process. He is not required to sign anything nor can his actions be reviewed by a subordinate to ensure compliance with regulations applicable to other subordinates. Now a Senator, on the other hand, has ZERO authority to remove classified documents from the authorized repository, much less take them home and store them in boxes in his garage, which Senator Biden did for some 40 years, for which crimes he should be prosecuted and jailed.

@robin_boynton @donwinslow Oh yes it is.

@knightman0207 @CroakerBC @Ericmanynumbers @mattyglesias Maybe you will, but hat’s your problem, about which it is impossible for me to care less.

There can no “irreversible damage” from government employees examining government records because that’s what Treasury officials and workers do *every single day.* The addition of authorized employees doesn’t change that, and neither the state AGs nor the courts has any authority to question the President’s employment choices. We all know this is a purely political attempt to interfere with Trump’s plans and objectives and therefore it’s unconstitutional and illegal.

And those states had no standing to sue because the agency has been in place and doing that same job (computer system efficiency) for years, and the President personally authorized @elonmusk and his team to take over and do the work. There is zero evidence that DOGE “has no legal power.” It has that power that the President of the United States grants it, and *no one,* including the courts, can gainsay that decision because that is a fundamental power of the presidency.

@knightman0207 @CroakerBC @Ericmanynumbers @mattyglesias Sure. Ted’s Montana Grill. Had the salmon. Excellent. Apple crisp with ice cream for dessert. Yum.

There was no authority for a temporary injunction or indeed any court action at all because there is no credible threat of irreversible harm and no standing to sue on the part of state AGs because they cannot demonstrate that access to private information by authorized employees of the federal government is a threat to any of their citizens. This is 100% illegal action by a clearly biased federal judge who colluded with the AGs to find a way to delay Trump’s inquiry into our financial system…something he absolutely has the power to do, without interference from the courts or even Congress. Congress, for example, could not pass a law prohibiting the Executive Branch from investigating or auditing the Treasury or any other agency. Nor would the President sign such a law in the first place. The Separation of Powers Doctrine forbids both the judiciary and Congress from meddling with the President’s authority to manage the administrative state unless there is a “high crime or misdemeanor” occurring, in which case the recourse is impeachment by Congress.

Nope. Social optimum is a central planning theory that allocates resources to achieve the planner’s idea of social welfare. This requires control of production and consumption of goods and services to theoretically provide the greatest net benefit to society. Central planning never works because no central planner can predict the movements of a free market and it’s billions of transactions that actually represent what people want, not what some communist planner thinks they ought to have. Just ask F.A. Hayek. The artificial allocation of resources means that no one can be made better off without making someone else worse off. That is the very essence of the false Marxist zero-sum theory. When supposed market failures due to externalities occur, your socialist system calls for government intervention to maintain the “equality of misery” that is the heart of communism, rather than letting the markets right themselves without intervention. Under your system a factory emitting pollution that its production level in a free market is too high compared to the social optimum and thus must be regulated to achieve the Marxist equality of misery balance. Plain communistic central planning.

@Esweeney7 @MerelMilou @DemocraticWins Nah. We can do without trade partners we have to impose tariffs on because they are ruining our country and killing our citizens with their intentionally lax border controls. Plenty of other non-tariffed trading partners out there.
