HUGE FLIP: Democrat John Ewing Jr. just turned Omaha blue—defeating the longest-serving GOP mayor in the country and becoming the city’s first Black mayor in history.

Just FYI because evidently Fox or OAN or whatever is pushing the lie that America accepted the Statue of Liberty and that’s equivalent to the plane.

Congress VOTED to approve receiving the statue. So congress should vote on the jet

Don’t normalize what Trump is doing with this plane. It’s a bribe. Plain and simple. He’s accepting a bribe from a foreign government.

Don't mess with librarians! The staff the Library of Congress refused to let DOJ staffers sent by the new acting librarian Todd Blanche to enter the building! They called the Capital Police and their general counsel. They said they recognize the deputy librarian as being in power until they hear otherwise from Congress! 🔥🔥🔥

In the original Dutch protocol for child transitions, 62 of the 70 adolescents were gay. At Tavistock, UK’s former gender youth medicine center, 80 percent of the kids referred were “same-sex attracted.” We know for a fact that gay men and lesbians have been transed by mistake, ruining their bodies and lives.

Would it be too much for any …

Do "LGBTQ+" orgs even care about gay people anymore?

I’m beginning to think liberals are effectively helpless at this point. Here is Joe Stiglitz complaining about the Trump administration’s terrible censorship and meddling in a federally funded lecture in a Danish university. Trump demanded they disavow DEI.

But in the first paragraph, Stiglitz notes: “under President Biden, attention to …

White supremacy is when Donald Trump bans 1600+ vetted Afghan refugees who helped the USA against the Taliban, but proudly accepts white Afrikaaner South Africans as refugees to the USA for no apparent reason except they're white.

Reminder that Trump is pro-apartheid & racist.

Agreed; however, some deep state entities have been making noise. Federal Reserve chairman Jerome Powell has said he refuses to leave office, he says he "can't be fired.: Here's an article on that: bbc.com/news/articles/c…

He is probably part of Senior Executive Services (SES) and they can't be fired. Not ever. We can thank Jimmy Carter for that. But if he thinks Trump can't or won't fire him, he has another thing coming. I've watched Trump for decades; when he takes on a task he always gets it …

The federal reserve is supposed to be independent of the government. The president can ask for a chairman's resignation, and sometimes they oblige, but otherwise they serve out their terms without interference from the political class.

Jeanne Dukes's avatar

He could simply do away with the fed and Powell would be out of a job. Problem solved.

E. Grogan's avatar

Agreed. I think I just figured out why Trump can fire him: Biden reappointed Powell as chairman in 2022 but Biden's term as president was illegitimate, he wasn't the rightful president. Trump was rightfully elected president but Dems cheated to get Biden in office. If his term was illegitimate, and it was, then Trump can fire Powell, as the appt wasn't legitimate. IMO, Trump may be getting ready to bring out the Loy Brunson decision by U.S. Supreme Court, proving that 2020 election was stolen. …

Nope. Not how it works. Trump is no more constitutionally literate than the rest of them.

tresho's avatar

"Trump is no more constitutionally literate than the rest of them." You seem to believe no one is 'constitutionally literate'.

Almost no one is. For example as a juror, if you don't believe in a law you simply don't vote to convict even if the person is "guilty". Exactly what the Judge tells you not to do.

It's called, "jury nullification."

Poolside at the Decline's avatar

Even with Jury Nullification, the Judge still has the final call. He can disregard the Jury's finding (Judgment Non Obstante Veredicto); or he can order the jury to find for the defendant a certain way (Directed Verdict). Look it up...
