I would like someone to investigate money flowing from Chinese sources directly or indirectly to Justices or those connected to them. The days of a presumption of judicial independence are gone. We now need trust but verify and Supreme Court justices need to prove that they are not above the law by cooperating in investigations proving their independence to a reasonable degree of certainty.
I am not a bot and also sent this reply to E Daugherty

@lump_t@DavidD_Chapman Trump asserts minor damage was done to six planes and five are already back in service and the sixth will be returned to service soon.
Freedom of religion is one of the bedrock founding principles of the United States of America. Witness the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America that begins, โCongress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; โฆโ Any metaphysical belief system that teaches that it is good to kill someone who does not believe as it does, should have no place in the United States of America. In other words, any preacher, priest or mullah who glorifies martyrdom for killing unbelievers should have no place in the United States of America.
At a minimum, any organization glorifying martyrdom, or killing those with whom they disagree, should not have tax exempt status. Tax exempt status forces taxpaying Americans to subsidize a belief system that is antithetical to the United States of Americaโs guarantee of religious freedom. If we truly believe in our guarantee of religious freedom, a better solution would be to outlaw preaching that it is good to kill unbelievers since that goes against the United States of Americaโs religious freedom guarantee.
Just as freedom of speech does not allow someone to shout โFireโ in a crowded room, it also does not allow someone to encourage others to kill those with whom they disagree.
@LeaderJohnThune Rep. Thune, if you cannot stop the government shutdown and cannot pass the Save America Act, please resign and let a competent senator lead.
@StandUpForTrmp No. The President should have the authority to impose reciprocal tariffs. For punitive tariffs, a resolution that cannot be filibustered could be considered.
