It's no longer about, "will the United States enter a fascist era in its history," but rather "what degree of fascism will Americans now tolerate."

No tax cut in the history of tax cuts has ever paid for itself. Not a one.

The US has three branches of

1. The guy who does whatever he wants
2. The people too scared to stop him
3. The courts he openly ignores
And introducing:

I knew Trump’s EO’s sounded Bill of Attainder-y!!
“How could a president alone have the authority to issue by executive order what would be unconstitutional if enacted with his signature and congressional approval?”

No, the President Cannot Issue Bills of Attainder
Trump orders functioning as bills of attainder are prohibited by the Constitution and repugnant to its separation of powers.

DOGE is a virus that’s actively and maliciously spreading through the Federal Government.
It’s a weapon to allow Elon Musk to take over the basic mechanisms of government and bring them under his power.
A constitutional crisis is unfolding now.
