Did Trump ever defy the Supreme Court like Joe did with the student loan bailouts?

The irony is, democrat voters are always in favor of Congress giving the president more and more executive powers to do things all on his own.
like going around the supreme court and vote-buying by cancelling tens of billions of dollars in student debt by loading it onto the backs of taxpayers.

If you don't know any of these things then maybe you should look for a new news source, your knowledge is seriously lacking.

Everyone knows that it's the left who has been violent over the past decade.

Trump's current court cases are done for political purposes. Why are you intentionally ignoring that fact.

Seeing you pretty much quote one news source with their half baked opinions maybe should should broaden your sources and get some fresh ones. Are you retired that you can pull this random collection when ever you need it....

1) First article has no date, no charges filed and appears to be speculation not fact.

2) A Fox article from 15 months ago that again speculates with no facts but plenty of click bait.

3) An OP-ED piece from last year, Ok he criticized the media, something Trump does every day over and over and over. This is 1 time I can accept it....

4) Another Fox article, it presents no evidence that Biden forced a change but it does say "whenever CPSC identifies factually inaccurate coverage in any media outlet, we contact the outlet to request a correction."

5) Yes he is holding up 3000 bombs as Israel continues to address the slaughter they are unleashing against civilians which the US has raised as a concern. Of course Congress had no issue allowing the Ukrainian civilians getting slaughtered as they held up aid for 6 months so why the problem now..

6)The poster boy of the anti-vaxxer movement, have there been credible threats (besides from his family) to warrant protection? Him invoking what happened to his uncle or his dad who was the Democratic Candidate when he was shot is far different from being a fringe candidate which is what he is. Try reading this https://www.secretservice.gov/protec.../campaign-2024 where it says "Under 18 U.S.C.' 3056(a)(7), "[m]ajor Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates," as identified by the Secretary of Homeland Security, are eligible for Secret Service protection." Guess he isn't considered a major candidate.

Trump is the proverbial victim just like during his time in office he takes no responsiblity for anything he has done, unless it is something positive.

It is the nature, not the number or executive orders that constitute an abuse of presidential power.
Exactly. The Trump haters forgot about all the discussions we've had about executive orders back in 2017. It's the Democrats on this form, and in the nation, who don't understand what an executive order is meant to do.

Biden / Obama used EOs to tell the executive branch to ignore federal laws, and to order them not to enforce federal laws. They use EOs to bypass what the federal courts and Congress. Congress and the courts refused to pass the laws they wanted, and ruled it unconstitutional, and so Biden/Obama just wrote an EO and dared Congress to impeach them, and dared the courts to convene a court hearing to rule against them.

Obama and Biden are both lawless thugs, writing EOs to violate or refuse to enforce current federal laws, and violate the US Constitution, in hopes their illegals EOs would have their desired effects and impacts on the nation, or to buy votes and favors, before Congress and the courts could catch up to them and stop them.

Here's a copy of a FBI affidavit, provided to NBC News by defense attorney William Shipley.

Musician and libertarian writer who works for 'The Blaze' arrested on Jan. 6 charges

So what is it about the arrest and charges against the Blaze reporter that you think either did not happen or is mere speculation?

No facts? New Report Details the Extent of the FBI's Weaponization of Law Enforcement Against Traditional Catholics

What about that has you claiming it never happened?

We have a law suit filed against the federal government for exactly this type of media intimidation form the Biden admin. Maybe we can wait for that to finish its course?

We live in a great country, in part due to our system of government where there are checks and balances on the abuse of power. And those checks and balances are not in themselves political. It shouldn't matter which party controls what. As long as the people in those high positions have integrity. And therein lies the big weakness in our system. It may very well be the best in the world, but it is still limited by the integrity of our leadership.

When we vote, we should consider character and competence and integrity ( and even decency ), not just professed policies and claimed values.

I have been known to vote for people whose policies I do not care for, believing that character is more important and that the system will keep those "policies" in check. And so far it has. The sky has not fallen because anyone has ever been elected President.
