The tariffs were always illegal. Mild shock at the Supreme Court actually giving a real ruling on the law.

The Supreme Court, which has been recognized for two centuries as the authority on the rule of law, is now in conflict with the executive branch. The legislative branch, ostensibly the most powerful, has been useless for a long time now.

I increasingly worry that Trump’s get out of jail free card is Epstein. He was in the child raping demon club, and the law doesn’t apply to them. No matter how public it is, they own everything and always get away with it. The American presidency is just another lever they pull.

    In a statement following the vote, Romero said New Mexicans “deserve to know the truth about what went on at the Zorro Ranch and who knew about it. We have heard years of allegations and rumors about Epstein’s activities in New Mexico, but unfortunately, federal investigations have failed to put together an official record. With this Truth Commission, we can finally fill in the gaps by investigating the failures that led to the horrific allegations of abuse and crime at Zorro Ranch, so we can learn from them and prevent such atrocities from taking place in our state going forward.”

    The legislation requires four representatives from both major parties sit on the subcommittee. House Speaker Javier Martínez (D-Albuquerque) appointed the resolution’s four House sponsors: Romero, Marianna Anaya (D-Albuquerque), Andrea Reeb (R-Clovis) and William “Bill” Hall (R-Aztec).

    A Trump-Epstein Files investigation in a state with a pedophile ranch and probably mass graves of victims is now being handled by local authorities with bipartisan support.

    The heritage foundation takeover of the US didn’t account for local and statewide investigations uncovering the truth. Not to mention Poland, France, the UK, and others conducting their own investigations. The compromised federal authorities in the US forgot that they aren’t the only law enforcement entities in the world.

    Vance knows better. His pre-VP quotes and his education show as much. Vance is a special kind of evil. He traded his conscience for power.

    He’s also not Trump. The cultists won’t follow him to the same depths of depravity.

    The fact that he’s allowed to be a public spokesperson for the administration speaks wonders. Wormtongue is supposed to be whispering in the shadows like he was in the first term. He’s now the public face of the mask off authoritarian message that keeps ramping up.

    It won’t affect energy prices, because the nuclear power plants they’re building to power their data centers are going to be up and running any minute now.

    Just keep the golden investment teet flowing until it’s dry.

    It’s good that Obama is stepping back into the spotlight. He still resonates with people as the last president we had before the world went insane.

    He also reminds anyone wanting to run Trump in ‘28 that he would have another two-termer to contend with.

    Barring that, he is still a unifying figurehead in the short term, while everyone watches Trump’s rapid decline.
