Great little democracy they have there. Looks more and more there is massive fear of the "Epstein Files".

Hollywood take note, could be a great series, contact David Duchovny & Gillian Anderson.

Whatever happened to the idea that states should make their own decisions? Shouldn't that power be vested in the states themselves, rather than in Washington, D.C.? Wasn't that the line regarding abortion?

But now Trump and Miller are telling everyone that ' actual state wishes are not important at all and POTUS has plenary power to do whatever he wishes.

As with everything else on the right, its the hypocrisy that is the most galling.

And on a side note, the complete embarrassment of Miller 'pretending' to freeze during the interview when he realised that he said the quiet part out loud. He just stood there and pretended that the world didn't exist. These are the guys in charge of running the greatest county in the world, and he literally froze live on air.

Imagine him in a real crisis!

"Kennedy asked Bondi about those claims, and whether anyone at the FBI or the justice department had interviewed Lutnick.No-one had, she said. Pressed further by Kennedy, Bondi said that if Lutnick “wants to speak to the FBI,” and if Kash Patel, the bureau’s director, wants him interviewed, that would “absolutely” happen."

Nothing fazes Bondi anymore, she has an answer in stock for everything and switches quickly to attack mode.

Gotta think Trump/Miller will push her too hard/far, then attack her personally leading to her resigning or being sacked, become a very dangerous enemy - a scorned woman.

But they're not confirming Adelita Grijalva in the House, because she'd have the deciding 218th signature to force the release of the Epstein files…

i find this rant to be hilarious - greatest farce besides the constitution

Jasmine Crockett is taking the Trump/Miller combo head on.

technically, as you probably know, plenary means complete, full, absolute…

so that the angle the psychopath is going for, Trump has absolute authority.

Democrats got themselves into this, how will they get out of it.

How will the Military react to orders given with no congress approval, or whatever band of yoyos they work off.

Thank you for that detailed, and no doubt very accurate and nuanced, response Manic. I appreciate it.

And while I fully accept the position that you have outlined, and given me more information, I would say that I really doubt that many of the 2nd Amd advocates, those that walk around in combat fatigues and openly carry AR-15 into coffee shops, as well as those that claim that school shootings are a regrettabe, but inevitable and acceptable, cost of having the abiilty to stand up to the federal government are that deeply ingrained into the details of the law.

The fact is, they run around crying that they need the guns to protect themselves against the possibility of a tyrannical governmen,t and when confronted with that exact issue, they have not had a single word to say, or tried organising a march in solidarity with the state governors

Nail on the proverbial head there!

there's always a meme to explain it

The problem with that is they are not just protecting federal buildings. They can’t just attack peaceful protesters. They are trying to incite violence.
