So true. Australia has a Free Trade Agreement with the US signed in 2011 (I think?). And, America enjoys a trade deficit with us. We buy more of your shit than you buy from us. Still, Trump hit us with a 10% tariff for some goddamn reason. We’ve paid about a billion dollars on a down payment for Virginia Class Submarines that we will never, ever see.

It will be about a century before the world will trust the US again.

Empty boots, with smoke still emanating from them.

Actually, in every definition of the word, on the international stage, he most definitely speaks for you.

If not, please go ahead and overturn the tariff bullshit.

One one space permitted. Nah, I’m not an actual slave to the dictates of grammar Nazis. That’s why such books are called guides.

You want the people to “Maga hat” riot the white house? You think that’s the plan?

Were you dropped on your head as a baby?

Okay Maga Hat.

The whole “no legal precedence”. Has been a thing for a few years now. We have what used to be called chaos nowadays.

The richest man on the face of the planet is actually a victim.

That takes me back. That was the standard reference for my journalism degree 35 years ago. I still have it.

Trump is just a sock puppet for the corporations and ideological doom players behind him. He has no idea what’s going on most of the time.

Whatever… Exactly zero consequences…

War on orgasms. Catchy political slogan.

So if a lab rat adds, deletes or edits a person’s DNA it is no longer a ‘product of nature’?

I did this over a year ago, requesting that they delete my shit.

I got a nice email back saying that they would do so, but would retain necessary material to comply with local laws and law enforcement obligations.

So, my best bet is they didn’t delete anything. I only hope is that they don’t put it on the open market.

Unless you’re Israel.

Even it true (and I’m sure that you’re right), are you seriously telling me that Roberts’ ragtag blob of clerks and security guards will overcome Trump’s FBI and Federal security apparatus?

Or is your point just a technical correction?

I don’t think that deputising a few people is going to disarm Donnie. Especially after their ruling that any “official acts” he makes are legal and legitimate.

He’ll fold like a beach chair. Rather than be humiliated by having their rulings ignored, they’ll just agree with the Republicans on everything.

Judges are political appointees so they deliver a political ruling. Everyone is acting shocked. They’ve been doing this shit for decades. The only difference is that they’ve turned it up a couple of notches.

Didn’t Justice Samuel Alito fly an upside-down flag outside their home in 2021? He blamed his wife, but it was a clear MAGA bat signal, if there ever was one.

You don’t have to have political parties pick your preferred brand of justice. Shocking as that might sound, most other western democracies don’t do it.

The supreme court doesn’t have a police force to enforce their rulings. JD Vance worked that out before the election. It relies upon the Federal government, as an institution, to follow it’s will. Then came MAGA and the LOLs will ensure.

No, you took a rhetorical statement literally.

I was conceding your point.
