27. He is just chipping away
Mon Jun 9, 2025, 08:57 PM

in all kinds of areas, doing baby steps until the Grand Slam is upon us.....It is the Republican way, and they have been chipping away for over 45+ years...........and here we are today............

For instance, the USSC interjecting themselves into the 2000 election, was in no way legal.....Period. They had no authority.....Period Constitutionally or otherwise........Period

However, there was little if any challenge to the USSC usurping that ability to make a decision as monumental as that one.
The worse part of allowing that decision to stand, was the fact that it established a Supreme Court PRECEDENT that from that point forward would allow them to interject themselves as THE final authority and allow them to do it at any time they wished from that point forward......

Cute, huh !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am no lawyer, but I will bet there were countless of seemingly small other decisions they made that gave them the Republicans the foundation for future accomplishments.....slowly building on each, one at a time...........

Trump and his CABAL cannot legally do most of the things he is proclaiming, but he just keeps throwing them at walls until some of them stick when no one is noticing, or when they no longer are paying attention and it slips through..........
