The logic and knowledge would be astounding!!!

OK. So then there should be legislation that no one can lobby for at least 5 years AFTER leaving congress. And DEMs should push this loudly and explicitly even if they worry about the same thing.

I can't help thinking that Roberts checked in with Trump and said 'this will save your butt with regard to Republicans ever winning elections again' and Trump replied "Thank you, sir" and so it came to pass.

I really doubt he'll do anything more on tariffs. He'll say "I always wanted NOT to have tariffs. Tariffs? What tariffs? It's all China's fault and we had to respond and Congress would take to long." Etc.

Except for 'having to pay back.' That's something the pedo never ever does. Maybe Roberts didn't mention that during the call...

Yay SCOTUS finally!

But I still don't understand why any Republican is scared of Trump. He's such a guy who blusters and backs down, and really doesn't care for anyone but himself, and the American majority sees it.

Just follow the money

Yes, follow the money. It's the clearest way through the rabbit hole of not only corruption but so many other illegal activities.

This is why I'm so distrusting of any Republicans at this point. It's obvious that Trump is declining and he's far from fearful. But they're either leaving congress with whimpers, or stoically standing behind "their man". Doing nothing for this country or its people.

They either believe in what Trump is doing, or they're too weak to be in congress. I'm sorry.... I'm do believe that many of the R's are bad people. Sell outs. Show them the money. It's apparently more important than their grandkids futures.

Katie--Over 9 years ago my spouse said Congress was afraid of Trump, and I didn't understand. Apparently Trump was well trained in a mafia background and knew the bad people to hurt others in whatever means necessary, keeping his hands clean of the dirty work.

Adam, Adam, Adam: You really think there'll be a free and fair election in November. It's hard for me to have that much faith.

Paid back to whom…. Does it ever get back to those who paid, We The People?

The greed is so disgusting and soul crushing! It is all about the money!

Trump will create an insurrection that will make J6 look like kindergarten. He and maga and Christian nationalists will not cede power.

Thank you so much to you both. So glad you are talking with each other and with us. We are starved for leaders who actually talk like real human beings and take the time to explain what's going on. Keep up the great work and help build a national coalition to stop this madness. Thank you.

One of the best, most enlightening posts yet. I learned so much. Thanks to you and Phillips.

Trumpy has something on these repubs. They are probably involved in some of trumpy's scams - making tons of money. Some are probably in the Epstein Files.

fantastic video-off to share widely.

Trump is the chairman of his peace board until his death. It's not a part of our government. The leaders there with him are not interested in helping GAZA. They're the worst of the world.

Believe me, we notice this. Right now he's a blow hard collecting money for idiots overseas who think they're getting something for their "contributions".

The day any of this nation's money goes into those (Gaza/Peace) coffers is another day when people will flood the streets.

It's also clear to all of us out in the population that the Republicans are not listening to the people, even their own, and are working to make it nearly impossible for many of us to vote.

I'm choosing to believe that the people are going to stand up.

Did anyone notice that Roberts literally used the constitution as it was written in his argument? I don't trust Roberts; he's like a flag that billows any which way, has harmed much of the progress made in this country, but in this case he stuck to our law. It was a simple choice, really, and I'll take the victory. But I'm not ready to breathe easy regarding his court.

The big corporations are literally waiting in line to get their money back. I'm more concerned that the small business so harmed get their money back. And when do the tariffs actually stop??

So since Trump slapped on the tariffs unconstitutionally, let’s have him personally pay it back. πŸ˜‰

Of course, donnie will use the state of the union to threaten and attack. He doesn’t know any other way since the training by his father and Roy Cohen, the mentor to both of them.
