Donald Trump the Megathread part II - mod warnings in OP, Updated 18/03/25

Does the constitution not usurp the Supreme Court? . The Supreme Court only tries to interpret it. Another Supreme Court could interpret it differently - ESPECIALLY if it operates without ‘ fear or favour’

They're unlikely to overturn their own ruling after only a few years, and especially considering their ruling was made under a Biden administration.

And chances are, some of the current justices might decide a timely retirement just before Trump's term ends and allow Trump/GOP to ensure the SC is still stacked on the conservative side for years to come.

Trump has mentioned his call with Putin lasted “nearly two hours” - they spoke about Ukraine “and other things”

I can’t help but think Ukraine didn’t get much agenda time as I’d say the “other things” are much more pressing for Trump - he’s obviously cooking up something

If Clarence Thomas had any sense he'd step down before the mid-terms. Alito too.

So now Trump admin began seizing money from universities bank accounts

Let’s see the 42D chess mental gymnastics trumpists will perform now

Saying it with art.

So it seems that Unilever are pressuring Ban and Jerry's (which it owns) to cease "political activism", and Ben and Jerry's have now sued. I wonder what pressure the Orange One put on Unilever?

The MAGA cancer is metastasizing.

Counts $ instead of sheep.

The French have a healthy distrust of authority that makes them question their leaders and demand action if the people are not being heard.

Americans on the other hand have been told all their lives that America is the only place in the world and they’re the best at everything. Throw in a population where religion plays such a pivotal role and it’s little wonder they need to someone to lose it over them.

I'm thinking that the average US citizen will soon have to wake up to the fact that US foreign policy is being decided and directed by the Russian President and not their president. It is obvious that Trump is ceding ground on all fronts to Putin, including the freedoms of the US for a pittance of uncertified "promises" over the phone from Putin.

The European powers have woken to that very recently, hopefully at not a too late stage for its future as part of what's left of the free world. The word of the present US president carries just as much weight as dishwater, unlike even the word of RM Nixon, who resigned from office for the good of his country and a pardon from Ford.

A couple of years back I would have travelled to the US as a tourist to see the sights of a great world power but not now with the way it is visibly disintegrating around the ears of the US citizens under Trumps handling from a country with willing allies to one where the allies are being thrown under the Russian bus by Trump. An urgent question the citizens of the US will have to face is how long will it be before their country will fit the description Trump used to describe some parts of Africa, one where it will be alone in the world without a friend to stand by it.

McGregor’s latest insta!!!😖🥴

doing a fine job ending the Ukraine and Gaza war so far anyway.
