untitled: "It's all very well to talk about the constitution but what you haven't answered is what happens when enough of the american political class simply chooses to ignore it." - if enough choose to ignore it then it is de facto invalid anyway. If enough people want to go over to a new system then that is itself democracy even if the outcome is not itself democracy. I contend that there are enough American people to resist the trashing of their system by a few. I don't accept that all the republicans in both houses are Trump disciples in the same way that not all the Labour MPs are Starmerites. I contend that in the end their country comes before the their leadership at least for enough of them to prevent what many on here seem to think is innevitable based on a few bellegerent orders.
I'm afraid that the last few years indicate that you are mistaken toratoratora. if the republicans were inclined to put country before party then they would have turned on trump after the events of january 6 2021... but they didn't. that was a line in the sand and they crossed it.
they care about being in power. they don't care about anything and i mean anything else.
God, just listen to the TDS. Not a clue about how the US works, just listen to the left wing media and parrot it.
There will be an election in 2029 or whenever so the best ting the dems should do is build up someone to challenge who will be the next Repulican lead, most likley JD. And there is their problem JD is not "Orange man bad" but is a Hillbilly done good and a very likeable chap.
Dictators can and have risen in the past and the current tide is flowing towards strong leaders who can protect decent folk from invasion and loss of the good old life they used to take for granted. If a strong leader can protect us, firm but fair measures might be needed, stamping down on strangers and suspicious types, circling the wagons, locking up potential 'enemies of the people' - all in a good cause, a bit strict but necessary for the moment. Does America really want a Hitler or Putin figure? Of course not, but that sort of talk is just scaremongering, it'll never happen to us. Trump doesn't really mean it when he talks of locking up politicians and troublemakers, it's just good ol' Donald being Donald.

President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Tuesday that aims to expand access to in vitro fertilization (IVF) and reduce costs.
The order is a stride toward Trump’s campaign pledge to have either the government or insurance companies cover the cost of IVF, which can cost between $15,000 and $30,000, according to GoodRx for one cycle. Trump has contended that Republicans should “make it easier for mothers and families to have babies — not harder.”
“These are treatments that have become unaffordable for many Americans or have been unaffordable for many Americans,” White House staff secretary Will Scharf said at a press conference at Mar-a-Lago. “And the executive order is a directive to the Domestic Policy Council to examine ways to make IVF and other fertility treatments more affordable for more Americans.”//
How wicked. He did promise to bring down the cost of eggs mind.🤔

//The document does not order the government or insurance companies to cover the cost of IVF, but it is the “first step” in actions the Trump administration could take in trying to abide by his campaign pledge, a White House official told Notus.
“The recommendations will focus on how to ensure reliable access to IVF,” the executive order fact sheet states. “Priority will also be placed on addressing any current policies, including those that require legislation, that exacerbate the cost of IVF treatments.”
The order further highlights the trouble some families have in getting pregnant and “recognizes the importance of family formation and that our Nation’s public policy must make it easier for loving and longing mothers and fathers to have children,” the fact sheet states.
IVF is process by which “mature eggs are collected from ovaries and fertilized by sperm in a lab, [and] then a procedure is done to place one or more of the fertilized eggs, called embryos, in a uterus, which is where babies develop,” according to the Mayo Clinic.
IVF became a flashpoint ahead of the 2024 presidential election after the Alabama Supreme Court issued a ruling that anyone who destroys a frozen embryo may be held liable under the state’s Wrongful Death of a Minor Act — a law that has historically applied to born and unborn children. The lawsuit was brought by several couples in 2020 after a patient at a clinic accessed, dropped, and destroyed their frozen embryos.
Several clinics in the state promptly paused offering IVF until the Republican-controlled Alabama House and Senate passed companion bills shielding IVF clinics.
The whole ordeal was weaponized by abortion-focused Democrats during an election season to paint Republicans as not only anti-abortion, but anti-family. Many Republican lawmakers have openly stated that they believe life begins at conception, which would include an embryo created through IVF. In the process of IVF, several embryos are usually created, and many are often disposed of or left frozen indefinitely.
Even so, Republicans decided to largely galvanize in support of IVF ahead of the election, including lawmakers like Sens. Katie Britt (R-AL), and Rick Scott (R-FL).//
