What is surprising, and an indicator of why the US is a 2nd-3rd world country, is that they can take such important decisions, tariffs, without parliament-congress participation.

It’s amazing how long the US had us all convinced it was a real country.

"The Justice Department announced on Wednesday the formation of a task force to look into unsubstantiated allegations by President Trump that President Barack Obama and his aides ordered an investigation into the 2016 Trump campaign’s connections to Russia to destroy Mr. Trump.
The announcement, which came in an ambiguous, bare-bones statement on the department’s website, was a continuation of Mr. Trump’s campaign of retribution. It also represented yet another Trump pivot away from the political morass of the Jeffrey Epstein files in targeting Mr. Obama, whose presidency set off a wave of reactionary anger that helped propel Mr. Trump from a punchline to political dominance.
The move came hours after Tulsi Gabbard, the director of national intelligence, ramped up her attacks on Mr. Obama, releasing a document that she said undermined the conclusion of his intelligence agencies that Russia favored the election of Mr. Trump in 2016.
Ms. Gabbard said that after Mr. Trump’s first election, Mr. Obama ordered an intelligence analysis that was subject to 'unusual directives' from him. She criticized that assessment as using unclear or unknown sources.
Under questions from reporters, she said Obama administration officials had led to a 'yearslong coup and treasonous conspiracy' against Mr. Trump.
Asked if she thought Mr. Obama was implicated in criminal behavior, Ms. Gabbard said she had referred documents to the F.B.I.
'The evidence that we have found and that we have released directly point to President Obama leading the manufacturing of this intelligence assessment,' she said. 'There are multiple pieces of evidence and intelligence that confirm that fact.'
The documents Ms. Gabbard has produced, both Wednesday and last week, show that Obama administration officials wanted to complete a review before they left office and put pressure on the intelligence agencies to work quickly, but there is no evidence of criminal behavior."
It's what all the best banana republics do. Soon bananas will be growing in Ohio, so...
With #trump and #maga gaining full control of the #usa it's time for a new flag for the #republic. Here it is.

The net result of Republican anti-abortion, natalist,anti-autonomy, and anti-{First World welfare state} policies would be to require that public assistance for women be conditioned on their being required to bear 'excess' I.V.F. embryos…leading to the spectre of Republicans' ten years hence complaining that 'welfare mothers arenʼt having enough babies'.
