I look forward to the day when these control freaks lose the battle and come unglued. I don't very much like admitting to feeling schadenfreude, but I expect it will be my honest reaction.

I can't disagree that there might be needed changes in these institutions. What concerns me is that this administration does not have a plan for where they want to go with this. The goal seems to be a total dismantling of the government without a clue as to what to replace it with. That will simply lead to chaos. And that's not going to be good for anyone.

@TyKC.This administration is up to its eyeballs in dealing with mischief from the Deep State, which is successfully destabilizing society. As long as that threat is succeeding, it is like war; the plans made while waiting for the battle, are the first casualty.

@TimTuolomne The deep state conspiracy theory is overblown. Most civil servants are dedicated to executing the laws and rules as they are stated in the bills. There are a few bad apples as there are in all institutions. They are upstaged primarily by political appointees who play fast and loose with the rules and by government contractors who cheat and have more power than the civil servants. But to dismantle our republic and replace it with an authoritarian government as Trump wants to do, is not the answer.

@TyKC. WHAT have you been listening to??? Not the President. Where did you get the idea that he wants "to dismantle our republic and replace it with an authoritarian government"???? That is the most ridiculous thing I ever heard. I challenge you to provide a credible source. The President has followed the Constitution more closely than any recent President. There is plenty of evidence of that. Not pundits. EVIDENCE, as in comparing the President's orders with the Constitution. Not relying on the general media to do it for you.

@TimTuolomne [theusconstitution.org]

@TyKC. Yeah, did you bother to read it? And what is your source that claims the president does not follow the Constitution, or wants to set up an authoritarian government??? Don't bother to cite CNN, MSM, New York Times, WaPo, etc who are all owned by avowed socialists, who are paid propaganda for the Democrat party, which everyone but the dumber half of the IQ curve in the US knows.

@TimTuolomne It's not what he says. It's what he does. Nobody is going to admit in public that they are setting up an athoritarian government. Do you think Hilter or Stalin said the like? If you are waiting for him to say it or for the Press to prove it, you've long ago turn over or freedom to the party line. Even if I produced such evidence, you wouldn't accept it.

@TyKC. The President has done nothing to demonstrate the intention of establishing an "authoritarian government." But the general media and the Democrats are shredding the Constitution. That looks a lot like evidence to me that THEY are attempting to establish an authoritarian government. And you have yet to provide any credible source that proves otherwise. I'm guessing all you have is guilt by ESP. I am not clairvoyant like you, so yeah I have no evidence whatsoever that supports your assertions.

@TimTuolomne Then provide evidence that the Dems are trying to establish an authoritarian government.

@TyKC. 1. FDR unconstitutionally threatening 9 Supreme Court Justices with removal if they did not vacate the Commerce Clause, which they did in 1942 in Wickard v. Filburn: the first and almost fatal Constitutional wound. The massive Federal Bureaucracy was born then the US Department of Agriculture was functionally turned into a kind of Communist Central Planner that could unilaterally dictate what farmers could and could not grow, without remedy. No longer Constitutionally protected commerce.
2. Affirmative action, which abrogated the concept of anyone being special under the Constitution.
3. Roe v. Wade, in which the Federal Government no longer respected the Constitutional right of the people over their own reproductive rights.
4. The LRRA, which "regulated" the insurance companies, driving 276 of them our of business by 1981, destroying free market forces (Communist Central Planning) and resulting in a quadrupling of insurance rates, and setting the stage for Democrats to force Obamacare down the throats of Americans in the dead of night.
5. The Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, which removed the right of Americans altogether of choosing their insurance, and functionally of choosing their health care. Constitutional protection of our rights now almost completely destroyed.

These five are the most egregious and obvious, among hundreds of regulations, proclamations and bills passed by Democrats, destroying the Constitution.

Where have you been for all of this?

@TimTuolomne 1) A president cannot remove a supreme court justice. They are appointed for life. So this is BS. If the decision was wrong, that was the fault of the SCOTUS, not the executive branch. If FDR had to votes to impeach, then that was well within the Constitution.

  1. No one is special under the Constitution. All Men are created equal. If we treat groups unequally, then that is the fault of the government, not the people. And certainly not the Constitution.

  2. Not true. People were not forced into abortion, but given a choice.

  3. Congress has the right to pass legislation that benefits all the people. They have the right to levee taxes for the good of all the people. This is pretty clear in the Constitution.

5). This is no different that SS. The Congress has a right to levee taxes when it would benefit the majority of Americans, plain and simple. That's why we have a government. If they cannot pass laws that benefit all the people, then we don't need them.

@TyKC. You are delusional. All of that is actual history. Look it up. Anyone can find this stuff.
