ZMAN : Which business? I'm prepared to shift my business.

Be thankful the National Guard didn't walk down your street today. He's got 3 more years and I wouldn't be surprised.

Joe : This was what? Five hundred, maybe a thousand strong among a community of 70+k? High five on the peaceful showing. As for me personally I find it odd that people truly believe Trump seeks to be a king. Laughable. Truly.

You find it hard to believe when he has said -- repeatedly -- that he wants to seek a third term? When he ignores court orders? When he manufactures emergencies to deploy the national guard and implement tariffs (that is the legal justification he's using for tariffs, btw... Only Congress can levy tariffs).If you can't see it, I think you're choosing not to see it. www.snopes.com/fact- check/trump-2028-hat s-oval-office/

LemonEye : You really like to argue?

LemonEye :
"Only Congress can levy tariffs"Not true. There has been an evolution.
US Constitution.net:
" Historically, Congress set tariffs and maintained tight control over this power. However, over time, particularly after the Great Depression, there was a shift towards delegating some authority to the executive branch. This began with the Reciprocal Trade Agreements Act of 1934, allowing the President to negotiate trade agreements without separate congressional approval each time.
Later acts, such as the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 and the Trade Act of 1974, further evolved this delegated authority. These allowed the President to act on national security concerns through tariffs or respond to unfair foreign trade practices. However, this delegation is not unchecked. For instance, Section 232 of the 1962 Act enables the President to impose tariffs if imports threaten national security, but this is bounded by specific findings and processes"

DDV1218 :

Just look at books and see how much money politicians have. Both sides. Which side has more money?

Joe :
I think freedom to gather is what wars were fought for. Glad it was peaceful. It doesn't feel like we have a king to me but maybe I am missing something.
