American Politics

[EihTooms]

Until it is practical to buy a cheeseburger with a bitcoin I'll pass on the latest Tulip Mania or Ponzi Scheme and leave it to Democrats to do the best thing regarding legislation for it. I know they will.

I also know Repubs will not do the best thing for it. That just isn't what they do about anything. They will only do the worst thing for it.

Oh I've read the U.S. Constitution, (not in it's entirety, but) in various sections and places where it applied to certain issues of the day, I was investigating. But I would be lying, if I said, I fully and clearly understood in totality, what I read and what ALL of what means, to all Americans. I'm no constitutional lawyer!.

Sorry brother, you don't get that crutch with me. The full text is on the internet, along with a version with legal explanations in plain English.

Reference made to The Constitution of the United States of America and political parties in my previous post. I am the only person making an argument based on The Constitution of the United States of America. Why?

Neither Party is Mine!

Anyone can read, discuss, and form their own interpretation of the Constitution. It was deliberately written in plain language to be understood by the public as Justice Owen Roberts put it in a unanimous 1931 decision. Roberts is noted for asserting that the Court's duty was to lay the article of the Constitution which is involved beside the statute which is challenged and to decide whether the latter squares with the former..

Here is quote from that ruling:

It cannot be assumed that the framers of the constitution and the people who adopted it, did not intend that which is the plain import of the language used. When the language of the constitution is positive and free of all ambiguity, all courts are not at liberty, by a resort to the refinements of legal learning, to restrict its obvious meaning to avoid the hardships of particular cases. We must accept the constitution as it reads when its language is unambiguous, for it is the mandate of the sovereign power.

United States v. Midwest Oil Co., 1931

I don't need to be a constitutional attorney to provide my lay interpretations of The Constitution of the United States of America. As a citizen it is MY document.

That is why I can quote or explain the issues regarding The Constitution of the United States of America. It is not even a requirement to be a an attorney to be a Justice of The United States Supreme court. You are a citizen of the Dis United States of America right? But you haven't read the founding documents in their entirety of the country you were born into?

The United States Supreme Court is the supreme arbiter of interpretations of The Constitution of the United States of America and the law being challenged for its constitutional validity.

[SubCmdr]

Anyone who has actually read The Constitution of the United States of America as I have several times knows that political parties are not mentioned. Not a single word.

The Founding Fathers did not anticipate their formation, viewing them as dangerous "factions" that could undermine national unity.

https://www.battlefields.org/learn/a...itical-parties

George Washington specifically warned against the "baneful effects of the spirit of party" in his 1796 farewell address, and Alexander Hamilton and James Madison similarly expressed concerns about partisan divisions in the Federalist Papers.

Political parties serve no benefit to me or my fellow citizens who are poor like me. It is only the stupidity of my fellow citizens that has allowed this system that does not serve the people and only serves the parties to exist for so long. There is no real reason why there are only effectively two parties that exist in the Dis United States of America. Since neither on of them serve my interests:

Neither party is mine!

Still waiting for a Democrat posting here and taking issue with me about my posts to address their lack of support for crypto and crypto regulations being passed and signed into law.

When I ask the question, what do read as a reply, nothing!

So you are saying the Pentagon Inspector General Report on Operation Epic Fury is a lie? Let's face it. You are expressing your opinion. I quoted a factual, credible source. Where is your link backing up your statement?

If you had read and quoted my entire post that I wrote you wouldn't have to ask that question, but I will repeat it again for you, it's the Iranian regime that's bragging that they have closed down the strait of Hormusz by targeting civilian ships trying to exit the strait of Hormusz.

Let's pray that the Iranian regime stops holding poor people in poverty.

The 2026 Iran war was initiated by the United States and Israel on February 28,2026, through joint airstrikes codenamed Operation Epic Fury (US) and Operation Roaring Lion (Israel).

I ask again, what facts do I need to get straight? Feel free to present some of them yourself instead pretending your opinions are facts.

No it is not. Anyone who does not agree with me put of some facts. Not your opinions.

As the worlds largest oil producer since 2018 and a net exporter of oil, the United States has been somewhat insulated by the global oil supply shortfallnotwithstanding the rise in domestic product prices. The United States produces over 13 million b/d of oil, exceeding output from Saudi Arabia and Russia.

But total crude oil balances only tell part of the story when it comes to the impact on prices of refined products like gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel. The Middle Eastern oil that is currently shut in tends to be heavier in composition than oil produced in the United States. As a result, a barrel of Middle Eastern oil will on average yield more diesel and jet fuel than a barrel of U.S. oil.

Inflation being driven up. Fed losing credibility. Treasury secretary is a joke. 6 billion dollar buy back is like one man urinating into the ocean to raise it's levels. Secretary of War is incompetent. Republicans are not handling their business.

Neither Party is Mine!

New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is giving herself a deadline. The 36-year-old ascendant leader of the Democratic Partys progressive movement will decide whether to run for president in 2028 after the upcoming midterm elections.

In a wide-ranging interview with The New York Times, Ocasio-Cortez said she is weighing everything from gender to ethnicity and her age. Shes also cognizant that no woman has been elected president and that the decision could shape her personal life.

Pretty candidly, I think about my identity, Ocasio-Cortez told the Times. Im not nave to the fact that we are living under a very regressive administration, and I happen to be a woman, and I, you know, happen to be Latina. And I think that theres a lot of conversation about electability, and I dont kind of shy away from those realities.

Damn straight the Dis United States of America is racist and sexist. But she would have my support.

Neither Party is mine!

Thomas Massie (KY) on September 15,2026, who introduced eight articles accusing Hegseth of violating the War Powers Resolution, conducting extrajudicial killings, and illegally retaliating against critics.

https://massie.house.gov/uploadedfil...c._hegseth.pdf

Massie invoked House Rule IX to force a vote, though Speaker Mike Johnson adjourned Congress to delay it until after the midterms.

In my opinion, there is at least one (1) Republican trying to do the right thing.

Yes, that's the cowardly Repubs for you, as it's so easy now, to take a moral stand, pretend to be the hero and "do the right thing", when you've already lost your primary, to a Trump-backed opponent.

But speaking of cowardly Repubs, good ole "Mikey" Johnson is up to his old bag of tricks again, as once again, he has adjourned Congress, for fear of an impeachment vote against criminal Reupbs, this time being, Pete Hegseth. Which I hear, by all accounts, would have had enough bipartisan votes to pass, and impeach his criminal ass.

What a shame, as that would have been a nice treat, right before mid-terms. But perhaps he's only delaying the inevitable!

[Spidy]

Read The Constitution of the United States of America.

https://www.tned.uscourts.gov/sites/...1023civics.pdf

The Senate grants equal representation to each state regardless of population, allowing smaller states to check the will of larger, more populous states. Same goes for the power of the political parties in the Senate. ...

Neither Party is mine!

Oh I've read the U.S. Constitution, (not in it's entirety, but) in various sections and places where it applied to certain issues of the day, I was investigating. But I would be lying, if I said, I fully and clearly understood in totality, what I read and what ALL of what means, to all Americans. I'm no constitutional lawyer!.

But this much is clear, to prevent corruption like the current unprecedented MAGA Fuhrer's corruption, the framers of the constitution, built a system of "checks and balances", designed to prevent corruption and remedy abuses of power through structural safeguards and specific removal procedures.

When one party, the (neither party is mine) Republican Party, which is currently in power (both houses), fails to uphold their sworn constitutional duties and rule-of-law, that governs and prevents a corrupt MAGA president, then typically ...impeachment should follow, due to acts of "Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors".

As noted in The Federalist Papers, while the will of the majority should generally prevail, it must be "reasonable" and cannot violate the "equal rights" of the minority. The system is a constitutional democracy, not a pure democracy, specifically engineered to ensure that majority rule does not become a tool for oppression.

The Democrats have failed as the loyal opposition

On this score, several times over the (neither party is mine) "loyal Democrats" have upheld their sworn constitutional duties and impeached the bastard. I submit your argument of "failure as the loyal opposition" is unfounded IMHO and almost at every turn, the Democrats have upheld their sworn constitutional duties, as much as constitutionally possible given, they don't hold power in either house. But lets see what happens if they gain power in either or both houses, come the 2026 mid-terms.

So the question still remains, "What has the administrative party in power (both houses), the Repubs, done for Americans?" (...Answer: Bupkis!).

Have Repubs, upheld their sworn constitutional duties? (...I think we all know the answer to that! They've shucked their duties like cowards!).

So While "neither party is yours", let be perfectly clear on who's done what and who's upheld their sworn constitutional duties!

White House blames big banks for killing the CLARITY Act over fears stablecoins would drain their deposits. White House crypto adviser Patrick Witt says opposition to the bill was "a wildfire that was started by larger banks that ultimately spread to community banks." He says Trump was willing to divest his crypto or place it in a blind trust, calling it the most restrictive ethics provision "that has ever been agreed to by any president." Witt called the attacks on Trump "somewhat ironic," given that "a lot of senators on banking committees" actively trade stocks in the financial companies they regulate.

I'm sorry but you have to get your facts straight

The 2026 Iran war was initiated by the United States and Israel on February 28,2026, through joint airstrikes codenamed Operation Epic Fury (US) and Operation Roaring Lion (Israel).

On February 28, 2026, U.S. forces launched Operation Epic Fury (OEF) as a U.S.-Israeli partnered campaign to destroy Irans ability to project military power in the region by striking Iranian nuclear, missile, naval, and regime security targets.*

If the Republicans are willing to do this, what makes anyone think they care about you as citizen of the Dis United States of America?

I'm sorry but you have to get your facts straight, it's the Iranian regime that's terrorizing the Strait of Hormusz and they are the sole reason of why 100 million people might face starvation.

This is in the interest of the Iranian regime, President Trump and his administration are obviously against this Iranian terrorism and the consequences that might arise from it.

Trump administration tells Congress it will admit 17,500 white South African refugees.

https://www.orlandosentinel.com/2026...ican-refugees/

Because the Afrikaners are being persecuted and victims of genocide in South Africa.

I applaud President Trump for his courage to take this excellent decision.

It's hard for outside observers to follow who is liberal and who is conservative these days. MAGA leadership seems very liberal when it comes to sex with beasts, inanimate objects, kids and marriage with sex workers. They are also great at inflation game so prostitution could flourish. All that remains is for Americans to stop paying onlyfans e-girls.

Apologies for posting your great meme worth repeating!

[EihTooms]

Are not these memes based on crude, racist stereotypes?

Kash Patel isn't even Arab.

I know you are angry, but you are better than this.

I'm not angry. If Kash met her / him and they fell in love who am I to judge? His new rules for FBI agent acceptance is all about tolerance of diversity in who you love. His partner apparently doesn't mind that he is not an Arab. Why should we?

There are so few less than disastrous things to say about the Trump Cabinet and Administration. Let's at least give them credit for this.
