that's simply not true.

If they were actually concerned about the Constitution, they would be defending the second amendment rather than attacking it at every opportunity.
You're right... what they say and what they do are two very different things.

It seems like the new Left buzzword is "constitutional crisis".  I suppose that's better than the previous buzzword of "existential crisis".  But it's amazing that the Left is now all concerned about the Constitution.  They never were before.  Or maybe because their focus groups found that the current buzzword sounds more ominous.  Sheesh.

Mark did sell his Tesla and buy a gas guzzler.  So much for climate change.   8) ::)
And he already gave Musk his money.  Selling his Tesla does nothing except show that climate change isn't important after all.

Being a congressional law vs. constitutional provision, it should just take another congressional law to reduce it to 3 days a week.  Lots of stupid things are mandated by congress.  And they can be un-mandated as well.

It's all the hyper short-term thinking.  Trump does something and the entire TDS community goes from 0 to 100 on the crazy meter.  But wait a day or so and it sorts itself out for the better.  Like investing.  Investing in a stock for anything less than a year is just gambling.  Trump is playing a much longer game than most are used to.  And the 24/7 MSM news can't adjust.

An event that I vividly recall only because, at the time, I found it amazing and relatively economically literate. Not sure what changed Trump - several possibilities come to mind.

Trump at G7: US president calls for end to tariffs and trade barriers
...
"No tariffs, no barriers. That's the way it should be. And no subsidies. I even said, 'no tariffs'," the US president said, describing his meetings with fellow Group of Seven leaders as positive "on the need to have fair and reciprocal trade".
I don't see any change of mind at all.  He's against tariffs.  All tariffs.  So to get rid of the tariffs other countries have on our goods, he puts tariffs on them.  End result, removal of all tariffs.  When at economic war, use all tools at your disposal.  This is one tool to get to where we want to be.  Fair trade.  And exactly right... tariffs (although he hates them) are simply leverage to close a fair trade deal.

When will Canada drop its tariffs on us?  250% on milk that's been there for years?  Trump's position is that we'll drop tariffs if they drop them too.  Sounds fair.  People are only focusing on the most recent 25% across the board.

God always answers your prayers.  Sometimes the answer is "No".

It all comes down to do you want peace or do you want war.  If you want peace, Ukraine will have to give up some land.  If you want war, then this never ending war of attrition on both sides will continue with no gains in either direction.  The only winners are the military industrial complex and corrupt politicians.  The poor sods on the ground will continue to die for nothing.

Trump wants peace.  No more killing.  Yes, that looks like Putin wins some territory.  He does.  But there is no way that Ukraine will gain back its territory.  There seems to be no way that Russia will make more gains into Ukraine.

You want peace?  Great.  Here's what each side has to do.  You want war?  Great.  Go on without the United States.  See what the EU has to offer.  Peace in Ukraine does not mean that Trump sides with Putin.  It means he sides with peace.  And is that not a good thing?

Clearly, we need a third Trump term.
The more I see him, the more I'm impressed with Vance.  He may be better than Trump when he's elected in 2028 and 2032.  Twelve years of peace and prosperity!  And the fossils of the democrat left and RINOs will be long dead.

I felt a change, right after Trump won. People seem optimistic again.
You're right!  Remember the deep depression of the population (and the world!) during the authoritative covid lockdowns?  No assembly, no shopping, all speech was monitored and anything contrary to the narrative was suppressed.  There was some relief after that lunacy stopped, but nothing like the breath of fresh air that true freedom brings.  People are looking back at how bad things were and are realizing that they have the power to change things.

It's so ironic that the left is screaming that the position should not be political.  I suspect that those screaming the loudest are the ones who committed the most crimes.

The tide has turned.  There will be great wailing and gnashing of teeth from the MSM and the left.  But momentum is finally on our side.  What a difference three weeks makes.
