I thought it was up to the legislature to make laws. Have we become an authoritarian regime and nobody told me?
HB, I have been telling you for years. The American Republic that I myself admire and respect is long since dead.
America became the US empire, at least, by the time Hawaii was illegally annexed by them in 1898. Some historians argue the American Republic died much earlier than that. The only difference is the ultrawealthy was very clandestine, in its oligarchic administration, up until the 21st century. Since 2000, just like the Gambino's crime family's former leader, John Gotti, they decided to no longer rule, from behind the scenes. However, just like Gotti's only mistake, the US empire's Power Okole is making the same error that will take their empire with it.
As I predicted and shared, on this forum, on numerous occasions; the US empire is falling, as recently evidenced, with its apparent withdrawal or surrender, in the Middle East, just like the Romans, about two millennia ago. Its pivot to Asia, with the desperate goal, of goading China, into a zero-sum Earth destroying war; might be the US empire's last hurrah, in trying to save itself. Unfortunately, they will not be able to defeat China and/or Russia, for that matter, as well as can't accept that their rule, of our planet is over; and are willing to annihilate everything and everyone, before that happens.
Stay tuned...
