    One thing I like using Groups for is to keep history of events, e.g. Trump Era corruption and other crises damaging Democracy. The following 23 minute video focuses on SCOTUS’s role in re-interpreting the constitution, with their “pro-unitary executive” decisions. In a way, Trump has been their instrument for pushing their single-party-power enablement.

    Not fun to watch. Just posting for the historic record, during dystopian times.
    Slightly under 11 minutes.

    Fortunately, not even Trump and MAGA are exempt from the wishes of the marketplace:

    Trump Merch Store Closes After Low Sales Amid Iran War

    Which is so tiny in comparison to his and his family’s grift and middle east partnerships capturing billions of dollars. While other, Epstein-broker-like connections (outside of pedophilia) are kept hidden, perhaps even classified as matters of “national security”?

    (I can’t remember the word right word, something like purportedly or ostensibly, when it comes to Trumpian presumptions of what ones with executive power can officially call “classified”, even while off duty for years at Mar a Lago.)

    What’s become apparent to me is that the proported master of The Art of the Deal can’t even get that right.

    In exchange for a flying white elephant from Qatar that has to be taken apart, inspected, refurbished, and maintained thereafter, Trump gave air facilities to Qatar’s air force, the very nation that runs Al-Jazeera, the propaganda arm for Al-Qaeda, ISIS, Hamas, Hezbollah, and every other Islamist terrorist group and regime on the Planet who would see the U.S. and the entire West either converted or in subimission to Islam or dead.

    And by his own admission and the admission of news reports, Trump’s military actions to keep the Strait of Hormuz open has benefitted the Gulf States, Iran, Pakistan, and China far more than it has benefitted the U.S., whose taxpayers have had to shell out $25 Billion since the war started, $11.3 Billion in the first week, with maybe $200 Billion more coming!:

    By the End of the Week, the Trump Administration’s War in Iran Will Likely Have Cost $25 Billion

    By the End of the Week, the Trump Administration’s War in Iran Will Likely Have Cost $25 Billion

    All this and the Mullah’s regime is still oppressing Iranians, holding Uranium, and shooting U.S Pilots from the skies!

    Decidedly not Making America Great Again and not America First, nor a boon to our allies!
