@perlinaino Kristi Noem knows absolutely nothing about California elections Trump has claimed that he knows there is fraud but he asserts no evidence NO investigation can proceed without any evidence This is not a monarchy What Trumps says is just talk

[vdpphd @vdpphd]

@SabuzView Not yet There have been no actual complaints from witnesses that claim to have seen illegal activity Until there is such a formal complaint there is actually nothing to investigate Assertions from POTUS are not evidence

[vdpphd @vdpphd]

@ailanyus Technically there is no such thing as an "assault weapon" The real underlying issue is automatic fire The military assault rifle is designed for selective semiautomatic & automatic fire The militia is allowed only semiautomatic fire To "look" like a military weapon is mere PR

[vdpphd @vdpphd]

@ailanyus Besides the obviously fake sign photoshopped into the picture, our law requires an action of a court for your guns to be taken away Four categories of persons are barred from militia rights: crazies, addicts, felons & spouse abusers Congress can regulate which guns you may have

@Kinza1278 Who are you trying to kid? America does not change its behavior out of respect for any particular religious group We do not avoid wars out of respect for the Quakers We do not eschew pork despite Biblical commandments to not eat that stuff

@CNN @MSNOW @FoxNews The MAGA barons that make Trump possible do not realize that their fortunes rest upon the economy below which he is wrecking We need to apologize to Iran so they will open the Strait of Hormuz Its not oil! 1/3 of the world's fertilizer is blockaded now

@CNN @MSNOW @FoxNews The Heritage that the self-titled foundation wants back is the feudal monarchy, a King up front backed by a gang of Barons with armies Their Project 2025, which the White House is attempting to deploy, is a fascistic plot to subvert the Republic

@CNN @MSNOW @FoxNews Under the first Union the Executive Departments reported to Committees of the Congress, who gave the appointees their orders Appointments were made by unanimous consent of the 13 States The then President of the United States was a mere gavel banger

[vdpphd @vdpphd]

@CNN @MSNOW @FoxNews The President of the United States is never declared Head of State or Head of Government by the Constitution He IS declared Commander in Chief of the Army, Navy & militia when mobilized Those already existed, founded by the previous (less perfect) Union

[vdpphd @vdpphd]

@CNN @MSNOW @FoxNews The fictive Executive Order is a media metaphor In cases where the law is unclear how to act, the Secretary can ask the President to choose Eventually a court will rule A valid order cites a statute & a bureaucrat & asserts which option follows the law

[vdpphd @vdpphd]

@CNN @MSNBC @FoxNews The Executive Agencies & Departments are created by Act of Congress to carry out some law they passed They are also paid by Congress, by appropriation They execute Article 1 powers They DO NOT work for POTUS He is not empowered to give them any orders

[vdpphd @vdpphd]

@CNN @MSNOW @FoxNews Appropriated funds are not a budget They are statutory spending plans the Executive must follow as enacted He does not decide which money goes where None of it is allowed to go to his own pocket Contracts must be bid The White House & First Family must be out

[vdpphd @vdpphd]

@CNN @MSNOW @FoxNews Trump clearly believes he should be sovereign He is surrounded by yes-people who more or less agree The Constitution, the Supreme Law of the Land, clearly states otherwise He is allowed only a few decisions Otherwise HE must follow orders too!

[vdpphd @vdpphd]

@CNN @MSNOW @FoxNews As the various suits against unlawful Administration actions reach trial courts, each is struck down for the violation it is This is a Constitutional Republic EVERYONE must follow the law or eventually get punished for breaking it The DoJ has lost credibility

[vdpphd @vdpphd]

@FloraLuzz_ There are NO illegal aliens ON Social Security AT ALL!!! There may be some LEGAL aliens, residents here with work permits who paid the taxes & are now retired The thing about illegals is that they have no Social Security Numbers!

[vdpphd @vdpphd]

@Sabiha1278 You have to be an American citizen to hold office here You have to foreswear all other citizenship to beome an American citizen How is the stated conflict even possible?

@Daisy55oj Most men want actual women Most trans women are only partly converted physically

@POTUSupporters Here is how I put it: narcissistic paranoid sociopath of below average IQ Every shrink in practice knows but cannot say these things without direct examination of Trump His niece wrote a book She IS a shrink

[vdpphd @vdpphd]

@magicLgge Wrong He killed a guy He violated due process of law
