we have all said: HE CAN'T DO THAT, or he WON'T BE ALLOWED TO DO THAT????? And every single time we were wrong???????
I think he has free reign at this point go do anything/everything he wants.........without exception.........

He has sent an ENTIRE CARRIER GROUP complete with a half dozen destroyers to launch a war against some small fishing boats......All because Venezuela has the world's largest oil reserves that Putin and Trump want !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LITERALLY OVERNIGHT a bunch of huge excavators move in to tear down the ENTIRE EAST WING OF THE WHITE HOUSE
....to make room for his pet project ballroom to grift money from the wealthy Republican donors by having 900 a night for dinner???????...... To get an invitation, all the Uber Wealthy and Corporate CEO's need to do is contribute $1,000 to $5,000 a guest to Trump's PERSONAL PAC, which is literally his personal bank account....(which is of course a tax deductible political donation)
Mar-A-GAGO's small dining room would only seat 100 or so at a time, this one seats 900? Trump had to pick up all costs for his dinners down there, at the White House the Taxpayers will foot the bill for all costs of these dinners, including food and entertainment, as well as all staff costs....

This county is poor with a small population (limited tax base) and probably operates on a shoestring budget. I’ve seen counties like that bankrupted over illegal, dumb shit sheriffs have done. A county in my state had a county jail inmate die because they didn’t get him medical care for pneumonia. Boom, $5 million judgement in federal court and everyone’s taxes went up significantly. While this doesn’t involve a death, it does involve a lengthy incarceration period in what is almost certainly a substandard jail over a first amendment issue. Hope they’re paid up on their insurance, assuming they can even afford coverage. A lot of counties like that can’t.
