Trump IS Contagious!

You need what, now? And I haven’t been ID’d for a beer in almost 50 years. Maybe JD has other problems.

I’ve also never voted without identity confirmation.
Trump is also getting incredibly poor advice.
Seems hard for the President to rely on the 15 percent statute (sec 122) when his DOJ in our case told the Court the opposite: “Nor does [122] have any obvious application here, where the concerns the President identified in declaring an emergency arise from trade deficits, which are conceptually distinct from balance-of-payments deficits."

If he wants sweeping tariffs, he should do the American thing and go to Congress. If his tariffs are such a good idea, he should have no problem persuading Congress. That’s what our Constitution requires.

And, he’s just an idiot: The tedious reality:
“The USNS Mercy, commissioned in 1986, departed San Diego last July for a one-year scheduled maintenance period at Alabama Shipyard under an $18.7 million firm-fixed-price contract for a 153-calendar day mid-term availability, including drydocking. The timing and logistics of any potential deployment to Greenland remain unclear given the vessel’s current maintenance status in Alabama.”

The USNS Comfort , the U.S. Navy’s only other hospital ship, is also docked at the same port as the USNS Mercy, and is secured in place away from its homeport in Virginia, suggesting the ship is also undergoing maintenance.
I’ll be surprised if it’s even brought up. Don’t want to scare the children, after all.
