    “I can destroy the trade. I can destroy the country,” Trump said.

    “I’m allowed to impose a foreign destroying embargo, I can embargo, I can do anything I want, but I can’t charge $1.” In a bizarre explanation, Trump said he “was very modest in my ask of other countries”.

    “I didn’t want to do anything that would affect the decision of the court,” he said.

    “I wanted to be a good boy.”

    “I didn’t want to hurt you, but you’ve left me no choice.” He thinks about everything like a violent, abusive rapist. Probably because he’s a violent, abusive rapist.

    “a Political Movement that is far smaller than people would think — But obnoxious, ignorant, and loud!”

    For anyone wondering, the three “justices” who sided with trump were Kavanaugh, Thomas, and Alito.

    No surprises there. If anything, Roberts, Gorsuch, and Barrett ruling against him is the surprise. It’s a win for constitutional rule of law.

      They’re concerned about the precedent set if they allow taxation to be included as part of regulatory powers. If they allowed this, then precedent is set for the next Dem president to come in and just start taxing companies that don’t align with their policy goals. So something like taxing carbon emissions no longer needs Congressional approval.

        True. Also, giving tax powers to a “unitary executive” is literally taxation without representation.

        There’s a reason it’s in the purview of congress.

    This should be a quote used by textbooks for centuries to come.

    Either he will destroy democracy or this will be a turning point for more progressive leaders to become elected.

    Most likely the former.

      Yes, but the real issue is not what was said so much as who said it.
      I can actually understand a clever, charming, and charismatic person going evil and saying it after trying to become a dictator.

      Well, not understand it, but not be shocked by it.

      What I can not understand and what is shocking is how a thing like that orange child rapist could ever get a chance to have the power to say it…

      A notoriously corrupt, quite obviously a russian stooge, blatantly racist, confirmed rapist, totally inept, stupid reality TV star, 6 times bankrupt, Epstein’s best mate, and unregistered kiddie fiddler.
      Anyone of those should stop a person from having any real political power, yet the tantrumping toddler did all of the above -plus much more- and still gets elected, TWICE. . Then says that sort of shit and no fucker owns enough spine to say “Yeah, we need to get rid of him. He’s a fucking loony”.
      I just can’t understand it.

    Most prolific traitor in the history of the United States of America.

    Being prevented from receiving a traitor’s punishment by the ultra wealthy and inbreds across America.

    15 years ago such a statement would have been unthinkable. Look where we are now and how fast we’ve gotten there. The repubicans went apeshit over a tan suit, but this? They sit on their hands.
