Yeah, but Trump wrote a book! Take THAT, lefties :p
Ahem. As someone who does write books, as in "sits at a keyboard and works long hours to create stuff that at least makes a valiant effort to communicate something of value," I think you meant to say, "Trump's name was used to promote a shitty book."

Lengthy and excoriating analysis by Lord Sumption, a former justice of the UK's Supreme Court (our Supreme Court justices have a mandatory retirement age of 70) of the US Supreme Court's decision in Trump v United States.

Congress is polarised, dysfunctional and gridlocked. Filibusters make it difficult to get controversial legislation through. This often leaves the Supreme Court as the only institution that can change the law on contentious issues. When the Supreme Court changes the law on constitutional grounds there is no democratic way to undo it. Their rulings determine what the Constitution means until the crack of doom, because the Constitution is practically incapable of amendment without bipartisan support. It needs a two-thirds vote in each house of Congress and ratification by three-quarters of the states. This is a problem almost unique among the world’s constitutions.
The decision in Trump v United States is merely the most recent and extreme symptom of a profound constitutional disorder in the affairs of the United States. The country’s constitution is the oldest written one in the world, but it is a fair weather instrument. The United States is fortunate in having enjoyed a great deal of fair weather in the course of its history. But that may now be coming to an end.
The elaborate system of checks and balances can work only if there is common ground across the political spectrum that the end does not always justify the means. There has to be a culture in which politicians regard it as more important to make the Constitution work in the interest of all parties than for any one party to get its way by hook or by crook. The Republican Party’s sense of political entitlement, its ruthless constitutional obstructiveness and its irrational rage against the Democratic presidents Clinton and Obama have junked the political culture that made the Constitution workable.

The ship appears to be sinking, so the rats grifters executives are heading for the lifeboats. The captain, of course, has his life-yacht at the ready.

Truth Social Exec Dumps Stock as Price Plummets
According to a recent filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG) CFO and treasurer Juhan Phillip has already sold a whopping $1.9 million worth of company shares.

CEO Devin Nunes and COO Andrew Northwall joined in as well, selling chunks of their holdings.

Meanwhile, Trump is likely also getting ready to offload his 114 million TMTG shares — roughly 60 percent of the company's outstanding stock — as soon as next month. The six-month lockup period determined by the SEC is set to expire as soon as September 20, clearing the way for Trump to pull out.

I don't understand, aren't these assholes the silent majority? Why is the business of assholes telling everyone lies more lucrative?

Why does this keep happening??????
