The executive orders do not push the boundaries. Most of his executive orders are signed to undo Biden's executive orders.

If they step out of bounds, the judicial branch checks the executive branch.

Obama did it, Trump is doing it. It is within their presidential authority.
1.) Doesn't understand what an Executive Order is.
2.) Doesn't understand presidential authority
3.) Doesn't understand the US Constitution.
4.) Yet still trying to sound knowledgeable.

NATO should mass produce Ukrainian drones. That's a cheap and effective way to bring Russia to the table.

They are just wasting time and lives. After all, Ukraine is fighting against Russia, Iran and North Korea.

Birth right citizenship.. you remember?

The judicial branch under Trump presently is no different from the judiciary in nigeria that serves the presidency.. stop deceiving yourself, wake up and smell the coffee..

Trump is all out to destroy what ever due process there is that has made America what it is..

If you like open your eyes to see it or keep feigning ignorance..

Unfortunately it’ll affect everyone including those who never asked for this. he’s going to stop military members, people attending college, the elderly, people abroad, people in the hospital, etc from voting.

He’s blatantly rigging the election meanwhile he himself votes through mail.
i understand. But maybe america needs to sink low to really bounce back again..and never to vote for a vile , useless , and a rabble rouser like Trump ever again.

I hope the independents, Latinos, blacks, other people of color, including coconut head nigerians etc who voted for this craze man can start licking their wounds..

The Christians that support them because there are Isreal are some of the most uninformed people out there.


Yapping about the rainbow coalition meanwhile Isreal is their strong hold. Boggles the mind
I've never seen a forceful xenophobic society like the Israeli society today considering what their settlers are doing in in the west bank, with gaza in hindsight. The Christians need to understand that this current Israeli is not the Old Testament or even New Testament Israel. These guys are aggressive imposters.

The Trump administration personally intervened to release a child predator who was charged with sex crimes back to Israel (aka Ibime's home country).
What are we doing as a country?
And why would/should Israel intervene in this way?
There is a rot in the US.

The sky is not falling.
I agree. If he takes it further, he will be defeated in the courts.
But we know this is an ongoing distraction for the Epstein files. The association of the tyrant predator must be legendary in those files that they needed over 1000 FBI agents to catch any mention of his name in the files.

Lol you think they haven't done all that?

Some of you overrate the US and NATO too much.

Do you even know that the reason why NATO was created was to protect the US and Europe from Russia. Do you even understand what that means??

If you have to join a cult or group to protect yourself from someone on your street, does that not make that person more powerful than all of you combined? Does that not make you weaker?

Russia at the moment is outproducing the entire US/NATO in terms of weapons. Google it.


Russia produces more weapons in 2 months than what the whole US/NATO produces in a year.

Don't you understand that the reason they're now suing for peace is because they've realized that they cannot catch up with Russia again. Russia has the largest conventional missile arsenal in the world, the most diverse ones. Outside nuclear.

Have you forgotten their anthem last year "Russia must be defeated on the battlefield".. What happened to that? Are they already tired of defeating Russia?

Well Russia is just getting started. Russia hasn't even even started anything serious in Ukraine yet. When they start, nobody will tell you.

A nation that lost 27 million people and still defeated Nazi Germany without nukes... Still came out on top as the world's number one power is who you think a few million drones will make them lose? Hahahhahhahhhahahha. Even the US defeated Japan with nukes. Without that they wouldn't have won Japan.


It's like pouring water into a basket. The moment Ukraine finishes producing those drones, Russia levels the entire factory, destroying all the drones.

That's what have been playing out since. It's not like Ukraine cannot produce millions of drones oh... It's just that those drones will not make it out of that factory.


Russia is the undisputed number one power. The US is now starting to realize that.

The Ukraine war makes Iraq, Vietnam & Afghanistan war look like child's play. The only war that even comes close is World War 2.

Even western media have confirmed presence of US, UK, French, Colombia, Polish, Taiwan, German, Finnish, Georgian and NATO troops fighting for Ukraine. At one point Ukraine brought in prisoners and ISIS fighters to fight for them. Poland alone sent Ukraine more than 20,000 troops.


How many did North Korea send? Was it more than 8,000? No. Have you seen or heard about them since last year? No. Because they have accomplished their mission in Kursk and have been sent back home. They fought for less than 6 months.

But US & NATO troops have been fighting for Ukraine since day 1.

Going by your logic, Russia is fighting USA/UK, Germany, Poland, Taiwan, EU, Colombia, ISIS, Japan and other countries? Even Indians are fighting for Ukraine, look it up.

Iran and China have not sent a single soldier to Russia. Prove me wrong.

The US fought the poorest country in the world Afghanistan for 20 years and still lost.

The US had the entire backing of over 50 NATO/EU nations. They all sent troops to help the US in Afghanistan. Even Ukraine sent too.

Did Afghanistan receive the same military and economic support as Ukraine?

Is Afghanistan more powerful than Ukraine?

The US spent 20 years and $4 trillion and still had their asses handed to them by the Taliban.

Like if my work colleagues and I form a union we make our boss more powerful?

Upside down thinking I think that is, because, fact is, we formed the union because our boss was already more powerful, and by uniting can we stand up to him.

USSR had the largest army in Europe, and a stockpile of nuclear weapons that dwarfed that of the entire western Europe combined. It was smart of them to form Nato (and the European Union) to protect themselves against Russia, as they'd easily be conquered standing alone.

---One of MAGA favorite podcaster---FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino might be going soon over fight with Pam Bondi on Epstein files---with the imminent appointment of a co-deputy director at FBI---

https://www.politico.com/news/2025/08/18/trump-missouri-fbi-andrew-bailey-00513775

President Donald Trump plans to appoint Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey to share the role of second-in-command at the FBI as the administration tries to contain tension over its handling of the files related to the case of the sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Bailey would serve as deputy director of the FBI alongside Dan Bongino, who has clashed with Attorney General Pam Bondi over the release of files from the Epstein investigation.

Senseless comparison.

Is Russia an employer?

And you're entirely wrong. The USSR had a nuclear power that was twice as large as the United States & Western Europe combined.

The USSR had the largest army in the world. Not just larger than Europe.

Did someone tell you uniting must be against employers only?

This is why smart people form coalitions, so they don't get bullied and swamped by the big guy and his twice as large.

Now, if only Nigerians too learnt to work together instead of being divided against one another and conquered. How much more powerful and effective might we be.

Thankfully, some are wiser than some.

I think we have already seen this Supreme Court behave aberrantly in comparison to what we would have assumed.
It's a mistake to assume this Right Wing court will follow established precedence or even not make rulings that run counter to the Constitution.

The whole Republican Party's only modus operandi is to aggregate power, to stay in power and rule as a minority party.
And I can see the Republicans on the Supreme Court finding a way to rubber stamp that.
Just like they did with Citizens United, or saying Political Gerrymandering was OK, or blurring the line between Church and State, or ruling that a President(Trump) is immune therefore making him a king, allowing Trump to send people to 3rd war torn countries despite the 8th amendments ban on cruel and unusual punishment, not ruling on the birthright citizenship despite clear language, or allowing Trump to continue his tarriff spree despite clear language in the Constitution that taxation powers belong to the Congress .

President Trump sends National guards to DC to stop crime which affects black people more

Then white liberals leave their safe neighborhoods and decided to protest why will anyone attempt to stop crime mugging and murders of mostly black people
The Democratic party same in 1925, Same in 2025

Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by cococandy(f): 3:31pm On Aug 19, 2025
White House trying to “protect” black people from white racists but somehow the majority of those they are arresting are black people in DC.

And get this, somehow they all managed to be arrested for the same combination of offenses. “ POSSESSION OF A FIREARM, POSSESSION WITH INTENT TO DISTRIBUTE NARCOTICS & CARRYING A PISTOL WITHOUT A LICENSE”

Almost all of them each had the same 3 charges.

You may want to revisit your History Books.
We've seen this play before.

What's sad about this, the money that this is going to cost, could have been used the fill the needs the District has been asking for.
Republicans like you never seem to dig deeper into any action, it's always the top layer propaganda that seems to sway you.
Why don't you put together a budget of this and then tell us why this policy is better than given that money directly to DC to hire more police?

Of course that's not the goal. The goal is to militarize the area possibly leading to militarizing the rest of the country.
They are using "emergency declarations" to get power.

What I find hysterical is that some of the states sending guard troops to DC have crime rates worse than DC.

Black people in DC are living in fear of crime and a President decides to tackle the issue, A black man is now complaining about how much it will cost to keep people like him safe and protect them from dying or getting mugged

When money is sent to white communities to keep them safe you complain, when the president tries to keep black neighborhoods safe you now complain about the money spent

You cant make this sheeet up!!
