I don’t understand. Congress is supposed to decide how we spend money and how much we tax. Why is the president doing those things?
Because Congress is letting him.
Congress the rubberstamp org ?
Why do we even need that,
to sell positions has favour to the king ?
obviously nobody believes in that parasitic institution
Why do the Russians keep the Duma ?
To shove the edicts of the king
down the throat of the population ? The broken remains of the “country” need to face it
FEDUSA is deadIt’s not just this Congress rolling over to expose their bellies. The Legislative has been ceding power to the Executive for several decades, Republican and Democrat alike. They seem to think this is OK as their guy will get the power.
Having said that, I’ve never seen such cowardice. The Judicial is hanging in there, and yes, even this SCOTUS has voted against Trump. But our entire system is predicated on a 3-way balance of powers. Now that two of those powers are in absolute collusion, we’re collapsing.
In the end the US will look like late stage USSR, with apparatchiks having to sign off everything, years of waiting time and mile long waiting lines to have a chance to get whatever the supermarket currently has in stock, and it’s never what you actually need, so most people have to use facebook marketplace to barter goods

Guess Trump is OK with China being the dominant scientific force in the world though.
We will be going to floppy disks, fax machines, typewriters and snail mails
