I mean “state” like all government authority. Our state constitutions are the same though. Our system restricts the government, it has *no role in the constitutional order, it’s limited & constrained regularly. If you want a constitution where the government has “rights” look at the USSR & several constitutions outside the US. But FYI almost always they put duties on individuals *to the state as well. It’s a 2 way street, but in reality once people get hold of power it only goes in one direction. As for your examples - there are laws that protect law enforcement & government property assault, harassment, & destruction of public property. By all means prosecute those, do it vigorously & with full effect. But federal troops have no role in any of that IMO. And we’ve seen countless examples of people engaging in 1st amendment activities being pepper sprayed, tear gassed, assaulted, seized, arrested without cause.

Elites. Guess how many billionaires are in Trump’s cabinet & WH executive staff.

CNN chief Mark Thompson reportedly told the cable network’s reporters to ease up on coverage of the demolition of the White House’s East Wing after a visit to the White House.

Petty, maybe, but I chuckled.

Don's private health information absolutely CANNOT see the light of day. None of his ailments can be disclosed. There MUST be a plausible path to claiming his death is the fault of liberals, trannies, and antifa, even if he falls over dead into a ketchup-covered steak while sitting alone in the west wing. Comorbidities cannot enter the discussion. Even a heart attack or stroke must be without warning so it can be blamed on ANYTHING other than an obese old man's withered ticker finally giving out.

So desperate to glaze Parsons, they're giving him credit for sacks he didn't even get.

There’s actually a law for that, it’s called FARA. i really don’t think everyone does this specific thing. In fact children who’ve been accused of profiting from presidencies is a really short list - Hunter Biden, Ivanka Trump, Jared Kushner, Eric Trump, Donald Junior. That’s it, Thats the list historically, like whole existence of the US. The point of the above is that the magnitude is so incomprehensible now, but I won’t underrate what Hunter Biden did. IMO the biggest item in his favor was that Weiss never indicted him & Bondi hasn’t indicted the companies that hired him to this day. Such situations don’t practically exist - you’re talking about a candidate whose child just happens to be a foreign lobbyist or someone who just gets government contracts? That almost never happens. Junior wasn’t an arms manufacturer before this contract, this caveat you raise doesn’t even apply to him. Actually I think we *had a solution. Campaign finance laws & robust prosecution of public officials who pay to play & outright take graft & bribes. The conservative USSC has knocked back almost all of that. Another tool the FEC has been completely neutralized. I do think the populist call against the ‘swamp’ was effective. People wanted it, but what we have now is a far, deeper, wider, murkier, much more fetid swamp that has no precedent. DC has sunk into the swamp now. It’s swallowed up by it. This is far beyond any historical corruption in scale, and the best comps now are outside US - leaders like Marcos, Putin, Peron, Batista, Amin, Assad, Hussein. I wish I was kidding.

You are the lying pretend jew tim.

The fact that Trump claimed the Epstein files were written by Hillary and Obama, shut down the Epstein investigation, sent his personal lawyer to talk to Maxwell, had her moved to a country club prison, and doodled a nude girl to Epstein as part of a birthday gift didn’t clue you in? lol

Now you know. Always read the tea leaves.

Not having to listen to Lafawnda having a loud conversation while holding her phone sideways at the grocery store will be nice.

My wife hates that i get up and in full conversation mode yet shes like dont talk to me until 2 cups of coffee and at least an hour.

At a time when I didn't even know what a liberal was, an 'old man' told me "everyone's a liberal until they buy a house"

One thing Trump and I have in common is our contempt for Trump’s dimwit supporters.

You obviously know how to read a line. This line is SCREAMING Houston

He’s not a liar. He just forgot to tell you he jerks his bird thinking of alter boys during that “bible time snooze”.

Kirk AND Collins are out, and the line is still holding at Houston -2. Screaming even louder that this is a Houston win/possible blowout. My guess is that the Houston defense (which is stout) turns the 49ers over multiple times and gets to Jones for multiple sacks. Only way that line makes sense.

for 15 more minutes of sleep

That’s too bad. I was hoping to remind folks of Hegseth’s Nazi tattoos: Link He looks like Ed Norton in American History X.

FEMA relief and aid to Ukraine are not mutually exclusive, there is certainly enough money to do both. If you think Trump would take the funds intended for Ukraine and then use it for FEMA disaster relief, I got some ocean front property in Arizona I would like to sell you.

Good progressive thinking. FEMA has had way too many debacles handing federal money. Give the money to the states and let the people who actually live there dole it out as needed.

Good. You all say how rich California is, they can deal with the fires on their own I guess.
