Surprised at Trump with a Tesla, isn't that too woke for him:erm::dozey:

Also isn't that some sort of conflict of interest buying a car from an employee's business:D

What's that round object behind the Tesla? Did Musk throw in a free Starlink dish? Or is it a table on its side?

It is bad for Tesla that their prime demographic, rich liberals, are the ones Musk is most upsetting. That and the rest of the world, where Musk and Co have been going around trying to upset each country in turn.

Yes I'd imagine donnies base prefer gas guzzling pick up trucks than electric cars. Did you notice in the interview donnie said radical left lunatics for illegally boycotting Elon's company, wow that's how far the land of the free have fallen, exercising your right to choose which car to buy is now illegal. I noticed donnie is paying by cheque too, :shocked: bet it bounces :)

One thing that isn't getting enough coverage is Trump is just doing things even if the court says No and they happen anyway. All the checks and balances fall apart when the authorities just ignore them and do what Trump says.

Here an immigrant was in the US on a valid visa. The Trump administration wanted to deport her and the judge said No, so they deported her anyway: https://eu.providencejournal.com/sto...r/82441360007/

And that's that. The judge can't magic her back or use force to stop it. What do you do?

It's the same thing as anything else. What if the Supreme Court stops him from doing something and he orders it done anyway? They don't have an army to stop him and the authorities seem to be content to report to him over any court.

Isnt that the kind of thing that starts rebellions and civil wars ?
Remembering that large numbers of Americans are very well armed.

Also, US States effectivly have their own armies - the National Guard.

In other news, Trump has ordered air strikes in Yemen.

Quote:

The US has launched a "decisive and powerful" wave of air strikes on Houthi rebels in Yemen, President Donald Trump has said, citing the armed group's attacks on shipping in the Red Sea as the reason.

From the USA.gov website

The Constitution of the United States divides the federal government into three branches: legislative, executive, and judicial. This ensures that no individual or group will have too much power.

Checks and Balances

The Constitution divided the Government into three branches: legislative, executive, and judicial. That was an important decision because it gave specific powers to each branch and set up something called checks and balances. Just like the phrase sounds, the point of checks and balances was to make sure no one branch would be able to control too much power, and it created a separation of powers. Here are some examples of how the different branches work together:

The legislative branch makes laws, but the President in the executive branch can veto those laws with a Presidential Veto.
The legislative branch makes laws, but the judicial branch can declare those laws unconstitutional.
The executive branch, through the Federal agencies, has responsibility for day-to-day enforcement and administration of Federal laws. These Federal departments and agencies have missions and responsibilities that vary widely, from environmental protection to protecting the Nation’s borders.
The President in the executive branch can veto a law, but the legislative branch can override that veto with enough votes.
The legislative branch has the power to approve Presidential nominations, control the budget, and can impeach the President and remove him or her from office.
The executive branch can declare Executive Orders, which are like proclamations that carry the force of law, but the judicial branch can declare those acts unconstitutional.
The judicial branch interprets laws, but the President nominates Supreme Court justices, court of appeals judges, and district court judges who make the evaluations.
The judicial branch interprets laws, but the Senate in the legislative branch confirms the President’s nominations for judicial positions, and Congress can impeach any of those judges and remove them from office.

It would appear so.
