- It all started with Tik Tok, and no one ever mentions it. For reasons of national security as described by American intelligence, Congress passed a bill saying that Tik Tok would be unavailable in the country as of Jan 19, unless it was under contract to be sold by its Chinese owner to an American entity. On Jan 19, Tik Tok went silent. On Jan 20,newly inaugurated Trump brought it back and said it would soon be sold. This was a clearly illegal act; no one denies that. When no one yelled and screamed, Trump must have realized that he could do anything he wanted, the law be damned.
- So the 5-4 Supreme Court agrees that Musktrump does not have the authority to abruptly cancel all US foreign aid. But they send it back to the District Court to rewrite their injunctive relief with more specificity. What do I take from this? That means that the District Court has a very difficult problem and whatever they do will be subject to appeal. Let’s assume the courts are all the king’s horses. How will they put the government together again?
- I heard Trump last night. Touting his tariffs, he told how excited American automakers were. Today, already a different story. Now he does talk to the industry leaders, sees how upset they are, and pauses auto tariffs 30 days. Ready, fire, aim, then run for cover.
- Senator Slotkin’s Democratic response was, I thought, underwhelming. After introducing herself, I don’t remember one thing she said. Disappointed, but probably not many watched her anyway.
One response to “A Brief Break in the Key West Action: Random but Important Thoughts.”
I continue to not hear any constructive ideas from the liberals, just criticism of Trump who is making great things happen. Just ask any good woman that supports Women’s Rights.
