This is because the judges of the United States Court of International Trade knows what’s in the Constitution and what it means.

47 is inept. He hugs the flag but he has no idea what is in the Constitution let alone what any of it means.

The Democrats need to toughen up and consider starting recall efforts in GOP districts where the folks are starting to be affected by what’s going on. At the very least, it may scare the official to work for the people. Get a spine Dems and use it.

Recall efforts can and should take place in several districts in the USA. The DNC needs to grow a spine and get it done.

USDA says it accidentally fired officials working on bird flu and is trying to rehire them In a statement, an Agriculture Department spokesperson told NBC News that officials are "working to swiftly rectify the situation."

And now, on top of β€œaccidentally” firing staff who handle the nuclear weapons for the U.S. , we have this…and people still believe in 45/47. 😳🀬

Trump says Ukraine 'should have never started it' in comments about war with Russia Trump made the remark while deriding Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, whose country was invaded by Russia in February 2022.

I swear, you cannot make up the idiocy of 45/47! He is absolutely delusional! The fact that he could openly state that Ukraine should not have started the war with Russia is a type of stupid that is beyond comprehension. 🀬
