Can’t read the article because of the paywall. But I have no doubt that if trump is elected he will do his best to increase the powers of the presidency. And I’m sure not in a good way!
I managed to get some of the article…
“Trump and Allies Forge Plans to Increase Presidential Power in 2025”
“The former president and his backers aim to strengthen the power of the White House and limit the independence of federal agencies.”

“Donald J. Trump and his allies are planning a sweeping expansion of presidential power over the machinery of government if voters return him to the White House in 2025, reshaping the structure of the executive branch to concentrate far greater authority directly in his hands.
Their plans to centralize more power in the Oval Office stretch far beyond the former president’s recent remarks that he would order a criminal investigation into his political rival, President Biden, signaling his intent to end the post-Watergate norm of Justice Department independence from White House political control.
Mr. Trump and his associates have a broader goal: to alter the balance of power by increasing the president’s authority over every part of the federal government that now operates, by either law or tradition, with any measure of independence from political interference by the White House, according to a review of his campaign policy proposals and interviews with people close to him.
Mr. Trump intends to bring independent agencies — like the Federal Communications Commission, which makes and enforces rules for television and internet companies, and the Federal Trade Commission, which enforces various antitrust and other consumer protection rules against businesses — under direct presidential control.”

I already posted this in one of the SCOTUS threads, but it should be seen far and wide. I hate watching videos, but it was a couple minutes well spent. Something the religious right needs to learn and understand… |

I may not agree with how people vote but I still want them to be able to vote and for their vote to count. I don’t want a few elected officials being able to change elections to fit their agenda. |

I find it terrifying, too. And it's not just our way of life as Americans, because the world looks to us as a model of democracy, and its demise would be used ever after by authoritarians as an example of how "the great experiment" failed, so their subjects should just be glad they don't have a worse King for Life. There is so much at stake. |

A few comments running threw my head about Tuberville and his mess.. Gym Jordan wants the new FBI Headquarters built in Alabama. Someone else has suggested put the 'space force' or such there... Seems Alabama doesn't care much about the military or law and order... The installations need to go elsewhere!! Jordan wants to move FBI headquarters to Alabama. Jordan, instead, wants the federal law enforcement agency to look for locations outside the D.C. region, suggesting the Redstone Arsenal Campus in Huntsville, Alabama as one option and thrusting himself into a years-long battle between Maryland and Virginia for the location of a new HQ. Huntsville, which overtook Birmingham to become Alabama’s largest city in 2021, has long been a hub for federal investment. The Redstone Arsenal has been a major employer in the area since World War II. The Arsenal hosts NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center and the U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Command. The FBI moved an explosive analysis center to Redstone in 2016 and has moved thousands of jobs to the area, attracted in part by Redstone’s secure location. *** An FBI spokesperson pressed back on the proposal, saying in a written statement that the “facilities at Redstone Arsenal cannot accommodate the minimum of 8,500 personnel planned to occupy the new HQ suburban and downtown facilities.” www.rawstory.com/ohio-congressman-urges-new-fbi-headquarters-in-huntsville-alabama/ |

More.. Restrictive abortion laws hurting morale, retention in US military: White House Reuters July 17, 2023, 4:28 PM ET WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Restrictive abortion laws in states like Alabama are having a morale and retention impact on the U.S. military, White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said on Monday. U.S. Senator Tommy Tuberville, a Republican from Alabama, is blocking U.S. military appointments over the Pentagon’s abortion policy.

So now a state thinks they have the right to get your out of state medical records if they think you went to a state to have an abortion where it’s legal.
If I’m not mistaken CA is putting together a law that will protect the medical records of women that come to CA to get an abortion.

TFG seems to have become a kleptomaniac. Or so it seems Israeli newspaper Haaretz reports that Israeli officials have been trying without success to get the former president to return government-owned antiquities that were sent to the White House in 2019 on the condition that they be returned shortly afterward. Not only were the artifacts not returned, but they were taken down to the former president's resort after he left the White House in 2021.According to Haaretz, the artifacts included "ancient ceramic candles which are part of Israel's national treasures collection" and were shipped to the White House to be used at a Hanukkah candle-lighting event that was attended by Trump personally. The onset of the novel coronavirus pandemic snarled up efforts to have the artifacts shipped back, and Israeli officials only learned months ago that they were taken down to Mar-a-Lago. "Current Director of the Antiquities Authority Eli Eskozido has contacted the Israeli Foreign Affairs Ministry, Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer, and former U.S. Ambassador to Israel, David Friedman, asking them to aid in returning the items, thus far without success," writes Haartez. "It is unclear whether Trump himself is aware that the items are on the premises of his estate." www.rawstory.com/trump-israel/ |

CNN:. BREAKING NEWS.. TFG has received a target letter from Smith with four days to appear before grand jury over Jan 6!! It is his opportunity to state what he knows, IF he chooses.. One of the last steps before charges are filled. 7/18/23 trump target.. again HE has released the news!!!
Donald Trump says he’s a target of special counsel’s criminal probe into 2020 election aftermath By Katelyn Polantz and Jeremy Herb, CNN Updated 9:39 AM EDT, Tue July 18, 2023
CNN — Former President Donald Trump said in a social media post that he’s been informed by special counsel Jack Smith that he is a target of the criminal investigation into efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
“Deranged Jack Smith, the prosecutor with Joe Biden’s DOJ, sent a letter (again, it was Sunday night!) stating that I am a TARGET of the January 6th Grand Jury investigation, and giving me a very short 4 days to report to the Grand Jury, which almost always means an Arrest and Indictment,” Trump posted on Truth Social.
Trump also received a target letter earlier this year from Smith before he was indicted in the investigation into the mishandling of classified documents.
A spokesman for the special counsel declined to comment.

If I’m not mistaken the original amount of money the Biden Family supposedly received was around $5M. Now it’s up to $100M. Which means they got nothing IMO.

There is no question our immigration policy is a big fat mess and I wish these folks wouldn’t come. But when they do come to our border you don’t treat them as less than human. These actions by Abbit’s people are disgusting.

The guy who throws plates of ketchup-laden food against the wall in a rage has the nerve to call a capable, collected attorney "deranged." There's that projection again. |

Well isn’t she a piece of shit!
She was handed this while walking down a hall. She didn’t in any way acknowledged the person giving it to her. Just kept walking y and threw it in the trash.
Yes it can be annoying when people hand you stuff but as a human being and a politician you say thank you and wait until you get home to toss it or better yet keep it as reminder.
