Costco is right to challenge Trump’s unlawful tariffs. He abused emergency powers to sidestep Congress’s clear constitutional authority over trade. No president can rewrite tariff law on a whim.

Are Ga Dems perfect? No. Have Ga Dems had any top leadership resign due to being caught in a pedophile sting?
Also No.

The Trump apologist checklist after Trump or his administration does something awful:
1. Fake news, it didn’t happen.
2. It might’ve happened, but it would be OK if it happened.
3. So it happened, so what.
4. Whatabout [insert names of various presidents here]

Sen. Mark Kelly has piloted a space ship – and a fighter plane into battle.
Pete Hegseth abuses alcohol and has had multiple allegations of abusing women lodged against him. Donald Trump looks directly into total solar eclipses without eye protection and has dodged the draft five times.

Apparently it’s a crime to remind military members to follow the law and refuse illegal orders (something that it is ingrained in basic) and the pentagon can recall you into the service to discipline you. However, the pentagon will not prosecute you for dodging the draft five times.

Hmmm…what USAID wasn’t bad for America…what if getting rid of it only hurt us and everyone else?
What if the richest man in the world being responsible for ending aid to the poorest people in the world will go down as one of the most bizarre and disgusting acts of the 21st century?
