      Lobbying is when Democrats do it, Bribery is when Republicans do it.

      Corruption is when Republicans do it, insider trading is when Democrats do it.

      Both accept corporate money to deny any good for the American public that would hurt their bottom line. And then we get fascism because that’s good for the bottom line.

    This is still against established law. He will be sued immediately to stop it, and a federal judge will strike it down. Anyone caught doing this is at risk, and not Trump.

          I’m from Canada so I’m not sure if I’m getting this right, but didn’t he stack the supreme court with republicans/sycophants after RBG died?

            Takes quite a while for them to even think about hearing the case, and if it’s already challenged against exist and clear law, they’ll need to come up with some serious bullshit reasons to even hear it. Either way, will take quite awhile.

              Either way, will take quite awhile.

              And in the meantime, Trump et al will continue to do anything they want. The delay is a feature.
