Yes I think he's saying that Trump can be stopped by any US judge and that means the judiciary hold the real power, not the POTUS
Same with Bolsanaro etc.
As so many judges, especially SCOTUS, do what they're told anyway it's not a major issue but he likes fanning the flames of imaginary issues

It was brilliant thanks ๐
Forgot to mention in Alt Text that it had chicken stock and soy sauce in it, both light and dark. Instead of sriracha I just put a sprinkle of dried chillies in the chicken stock/soy sauce mixture
Recipe said it's enough for four but it's probably enough for about 10 ๐๐

Three bowls of food, two bowls have a fork and spoon. The third bowl is my vine tomato salad with feta cheese, black olives, fresh bay leaf. Other two bowls are pancit. Stir fried pork tenderloin fillet, gammon ham, prawns, vermicelli rice noodles dressed with dark soy sauce and toasted sesame oil, bean sprouts, red cabbage, spring greens (collard greens in US), spring onions, garnished with fresh bay leaves
First attempt at making pancit, a Filipino dish
Thanks to @robertemond.bsky.social for his advice

Not sure who 'him' is but if I go to a tactical voting website in two years time I'm guessing that it will tell me to vote Deform (which will never happen) or Labour (unlikely to happen)
Greens and LibDems are shackled by First Past The Post
We already have Deform ๐คก controlling our local council

I'm pleased that he gives you hope
I used to go out banging doors and telling people to vote Labour when we had Tony Benn and Dennis Skinner out on the picket lines with Arthur Scargill, people I could believe in
Now I wouldn't piss on a Labour politician if they were on fire

I always vote
It's just frustrating that my options are currently severely limited ๐

The other option is that we might actually become more combative in politics, following the example of the USA
Again, I hope that you turn out to be right

Wish I shared your optimism
Labour party members clearly stated that they wanted PR but they appear to have been ignored
Because they've done such an awful job in power, just Tories with red ties essentially, if the corrupt Tories and Reform merge they will win the next election
Unless we have PR

I'm currently politically homeless (but always vote)
As long as we're shackled by First Past The Post it will keep rotating between the two 'main parties'
JD Vance understands that, which is why he told Reform and the corrupt Tories that they need to merge when he visited the Cotswolds recently

I voted for Greens and LibDems in the local elections
Just because I prefer Caroline Lucas to Zack Polanski doesn't mean I won't vote Green
I vote for policies, not 'personalities'
But First Past The Post means Greens/LibDems won't be in power
