"Antifa" is a loose band of "Anti-Fascists", with no organization, and has never been extolled by, or had a seat in the Democratic Party. Ask yourself if any Dem President has invited someone who promoted "Antifa Violence" to dinner at his residence...like Donald Trump did with leading White Supremacist, Nick Fuentes,...who is anything BUT "For ALL People" at Mar-a-Lago.

Sad to see you spreading Disinformation like this...and being on the side of such hateful people.

You are the party of elites, not of the people.

Moreover, you are the party of globalism, not of America.

America needs an advocate to argue its case in the court of the world. You should trust the system, but you don't, so you insist that America have no advocate. Educate yourself.

...on top of that, he makes 46M of America's poorest citizens pay Double or Triple for their HC costs...Fires, Without Cause, tens of thousands of Federal Workers..that's never going to help your credibility, Ned. But then, you're a Libertarian exhibiting an appetite for Ayn Rand "Objectivism"...so that's not a problem for you.

why...i.e. his distain for the Rule of Law and our Constitution...which is all about treating ALL Americans with the same degree of respect.

Not sure why you've forgotten what you should have learned in Law School...and support such an Unlawful person like Donald Trump.

Excerpts From Today's Paper of Record:

The Power Grab That Embodies Trumpism
Nov. 14, 2025
By The Editorial Board

The Constitution gives the authority to tax and spend not to the head of state, but to the elected representatives who are closest to the people: the members of Congress. Money is power, and the founders of this country feared that a president would turn into a monarch if he alone could dictate how the government uses the federal treasury.

President Trump, however, has tried to take Congress’s constitutional power and make it his own. He has repeatedly ignored laws passed by the House and the Senate to spend money, or not spend it, based on his whims and agenda. He has violated the law at least six times, according to the Government Accountability Office, a federal watchdog agency. That total does not include the government shutdown, when he continued to disregard the law.

Mr. Trump’s abuses of spending power fall into three categories. First, he has refused to spend money that Congress allocated. He avoided allocating foreign aid with a maneuver known as a pocket rescission, and he withheld funds for electric vehicles, libraries and museums, preschools, other schools, grants for scientific research and emergency response operations.

Second, Mr. Trump has spent money that Congress has not allocated. During the shutdown, he paid military troops and some other federal workers without congressional approval. He used private funds from a billionaire supporter for some of the payments, setting a dangerous precedent. Earlier in his term, he declared an emergency to divert funds for the military to his border crackdown.

Third, the president has taken steps that effectively overturn Congress’s spending decisions. In these cases, he has not added or subtracted federal funds, but he has taken other steps that make it so an agency cannot carry out the mission that Congress envisioned for it. He has gutted the Department of Education with layoffs, making it impossible for the agency to do things, such as protect students’ civil rights, that Congress appropriated funds for it to do. He has taken similar steps with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

Mr. Trump and his supporters can fairly argue that they did not start the trend of executive overreach. In response to gridlocked and disagreeable congresses, previous presidents have sought to expand their powers in ways that violated the spirit, if not the text, of federal laws. President Joe Biden’s attempt to forgive student loans, in the face of opposition in Congress that included even a few Democrats, is one example. Yet Mr. Trump is different. He has gone much further than previous presidents, which explains why the Government Accountability Office has found he violated the law six times in the span of a few months. Regardless, “he started it” is not a reasonable justification for a child’s misbehavior, much less a president’s.

Republicans have done little to confront Mr. Trump’s abrogation of Congress’s spending powers. They have largely refused to criticize his actions. They have chosen not to block his executive and judicial nominees, which they could use as leverage to get the president to respect the constitutional order. They have failed to pass new bills that would emphasize their constitutional role in setting taxing and spending. These moves would raise the political costs of Mr. Trump’s actions by signaling that this issue is not narrowly partisan. It is constitutional. The country’s founders envisioned a legislature that was a primary center of power in its own right, rather than subservient to an executive.

If Congress refuses to act, the courts will need to do more. Lower court judges have already done an admirable job, ruling against Mr. Trump’s spending decisions on foreign aid, food stamps and more. Judges appointed by presidents of both parties have written detailed decisions that explain the illegality of Mr. Trump’s actions. They have called them out for what they are, using words like “arbitrary,” “capricious” and “disingenuous.” In one ruling, a judge cited a previous decision from Justice Anthony Kennedy: “Liberty is always at stake when one or more of the branches seek to transgress the separation of powers.”

Today’s Supreme Court has been far too tolerant of Mr. Trump’s steamrolling of Congress. It has stood by while Trump effectively cancels, after the fact, the agreements lawmakers make to pass a budget. What’s the point of the appropriations process if the president can just undo it? The justices have fresh opportunities to return our system to order, including in the ongoing case about Mr. Trump’s tariffs. They should do so.
