The same court that said Biden exceeded his authority to forgive student loans thinks that Trump can do literally anything (except fire Fed governors for uh reasons) and it's fine. The conservative majority on this court MUST be destroyed when the opportunity becomes available because they will not let a Democratic President or Democratic congress govern. Governance is only for Republicans now.
Yes. The literal unaccountable people are the politicians in robes (once again, every accusation is a confession). The steps that must be taken to fix the damage of Trump and this SCOTUS majority must have stripping the SCOTUS majority of their power as step 1. This is going to end up as a historically bad court, much like Taney.

(Speaking of Taney, I saw an anecdote in a book I was reading that after Dred Scott, he was basically positioning to make it so slavery could be unrestricted by states, effectively legalizing it in state where it was banned. The only thing that stopped that project and making his court look even worse in history was the outbreak of the Civil War).

FIFA will never award this again.
Doubt it, they'll give it to Trump again next year. So he'll be able to brag about being a 2 time FIFA Peace Award winner. This man cheats at golf and gives himself golf trophies for fake tournaments at Mar-A-Lago. I think FIFA knows how desperate he is for accolades, even if they're made up ones. And they don't want to upset him while he's still in office and has the power to tear shit up if he so feels the need. I haven't looked into it, but I'm sure he's bragging about being the 1st and only person to win this prestigious award. Also, he's probably bragging

"OBAMA NEVER WON THIS AWARD BUT I DID!"

World Cup only happens every 4 years, they don't need to bother jerking him off next year.

Has Trump ever received a positive award for something he didn't actually buy, steal or blackmail ?

We have all predicted. Now what are the results?
FUCKING. IMBECILE.

And a hearty dose of laughing-my-ass-off-until-I-cry at the sycophants & voters who enabled & still support this shitshow.

“President Trump announced a $12 billion farm aid package on Monday, money the president said "would not be possible without tariffs."

"We're giving some up to the farmers because they were mistreated by other countries," Trump said.

But some farmers and economists were quick to note that the problems facing farmers and the mistreatment they have endured are primarily a direct consequence of Trump's own tariff actions.”

“Farmers have faced a difficult 2025 due to a range of factors, but the fallout from tariffs bears a lot of blame. It was in the summer when farm bankruptcies for 2025 passed the total for all of 2024”

Trump says his farm bailout 'would not be possible without tariffs.' His critics agree.

Commerce is based on the Law of Supply and Demand. These farmers have the supply. Where did the demand go? I know! ... Trump shut that down, naturally. Know what China isn't going to do? Tear up their new agriculture contracts with Argentina and Brazil. That business isn't coming back. Trump has destroyed their business. most likely forever. Once again, Donald Trump wants praise for trying to put out the fire he started. The pattern is every bit as familiar for this administration as it is deeply cynical. A policy creates instability. A constituency absorbs the shock. The administration reframes the fallout as evidence of Trump’s strength rather than the byproduct of his decisions and weakness.

So, in 2 terms Trump has given farmers a total of 40 billion. Trump has turned farmers into Socialists. A government using taxpayer money to compensate an industry for losses caused by government policy - The kind of intervention Trump and his allies have spent years denouncing as socialism. Redistribution of wealth, from the bottom up. What a joke!

Where are the work requirements and drug tests for these farmers? Just like any other American receiving welfare. Every farmer who receives these welfare checks needs to submit work requirement forms, prove they are eligible, and take random drug tests.

"It's not Socialism when we do it!" - GOP

Taxpayers constantly bailing out Maga voters for their terrible decisions. Elect a Republican president, wreck the country.

The bigger question is will farmers realize that Trump is destroying their lives and demand he leave office ?

Nope because if they do the democrats will turn their kids trans and force Christians (which most farmers consider themselves to be)to eat live babies. While taking all their money and giving it to the lazy people in the cities.

I swear this argument has been made more than once before.

China kids need 37 pencils cuz they’ll use them. People like Trump do not read and write well, so writing utensils not required. More for show.

I believe it was with dolls
