@GottaLaff So a king in all but name, who decides what of his pet projects should be rewarded with the country’s monies? It’s feudal, medieval behaviour.

I’m aghast at the myriad (& creative) ways 47’s administration have found to break nearly every law holding the gov’t and nation together.

They’ve been the very best thoroughly criminal organization in our long history.

@GottaLaff I've always thought of this law as the No Dictators law. I expect SCOTUS will hand this to him as well.
