If he does it outside of 24 hours, will you still complain that he ended that conflict? mspart

Can a pardon be revoked? I don't think so. Seems kind of strange to think about. Would it take a law to proscribe the pardon power of the President? An amendment? It seems to me that there are many "laws" that describe and control powers granted in the Constitution. But the language in the Constitution states: Section 2. The President shall be commander in chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the militia of the several states, when called into the actual service of the United States; he may require the opinion, in writing, of the principal officer in each of the executive departments, upon any subject relating to the duties of their respective offices, and he shall have power to grant reprieves and pardons for offenses against the United States, except in cases of impeachment. It does not say .... grant reprieves and pardons for potential offenses against the United States,... So many of those pardoned were pardoned for things they have not been prosecuted for. I suppose you could interpret that as possibilities rather than determinations of blame. I am unsure that the Constitution gives Biden the power to pardon potential offenses. I will leave that to those that speak legalese. mspart

Is today: 1. MLK day 2. Innauguration of Donald Trump bringing in a new and fresh look 3. The getting rid of Joe Biden and his final acts of dictatorship as shown in the final days. Either way, this is a momentous day. mspart

Thanks MP for posting that. I didn't know we had participation in anything, so this is good to hear. mspart

https://www.npr.org/2025/01/17/nx-s1-5264378/biden-era-national-archivist-constitution President Biden on Friday declared that he considers the Equal Rights Amendment to the Constitution "the law of the land," a surprising declaration that does not have any formal force of effect, but that was celebrated by its backers in a rally in front of the National Archives. Talk about a dictator. mspart

This is really great news for the people. CNN defamed a guy and are paying millions as a result. This guy is going to get 5 million in compensatory damages and untold tens of millions for punitive measures. I'm guessing CNN and the rest of the alphabet soup MSM will watch their P's and Q's from now on. mspart

How is that bad? Look at where the military is now with people you ostensibly like. Recruitment is down. We don't have enough soldiers to meet demand for preparedness. That's what the pro's have given us. We need that to change, so maybe Hegseth is the right guy to initiate that change. They may even be able to pass an audit with him. The pro's don't seem to be able to do that. "Gee Mr. Auditor, we really don't know where that $150 billion went. It just disappeared." Yes, this is what the professionals have given us. Apparently you want more of that. mspart

The original topic is the Deportation Bill. You said we already have laws. True, but not being enforced. I just gave you a reason why it might be necessary to have a new Deportation Law (the current4 bill and topic of this thread) and you say I am changing the subject. Perhaps I'm changing what you want to talk about but I am perfectly on topic. mspart

Bring it inside! That will warm it up!!! I've never tried the smoker on such a hot day. It might be interesting. We are having cold mornings the next week here but nothing below 26. Very manageable. It actually feels a little warmer as there is no humidity to chill you to the bone. mspart

Hence we have millions of illegal aliens that have crossed the border from 2021 thru 2024. It is only recently being more enforced because the tide turned on that fiasco and the American people finally woke up. They are woke some might say but not in the way it is usually used. mspart

Well, I guess we will see what happens then eh? mspart

https://thehill.com/homenews/media/5092006-cnn-defamation-lawsuit-zachary-young-navy-veteran/ Jury finds CNN defamed Navy veteran with segment on Afghan refugees by Dominick Mastrangelo - 01/17/25 1:25 PM ET A jury in Florida on Friday found that CNN defamed a Navy veteran with a report on his business that aired in 2021 and awarded him $5 million damages. Punitive damages will be decided by later today the rest of the article says. Oh but wait!!!! https://www.yahoo.com/news/cnn-found-liable-defaming-u-173150968.html (Reuters) -CNN reached a settlement on Friday with a U.S. Navy veteran who helped evacuate people from Afghanistan after the U.S. military withdrew from the country in 2021, a judge said on Friday, hours after a jury found the TV news outlet liable for defaming him. The six-person jury decided CNN had to pay damages totaling $5 million. The settlement will avert a second phase of the trial that would have determined any punitive damages. CNN cried UNCLE. I was not aware that a settlement could be reached after a jury verdict is reached. CNN was in a very bad place if they went this route. They screwed up. They thought they were able to do and say whatever they wanted. And they were wrong. This shoudl be a huge cudgel to other "news" entities to be truthful and not opinionated. mspart

You are correct. But with that logic, why have any laws at all if the exec branch can determine which ones they will enforce and which ones they will not. But by passing a new law with support of most of the people int he country it sends a message. Anger will follow if it is not enforced. I think that is the power in a new law. mspart

Yes, I would create a bill to give no federal assistance to cities, counties, and states if they are not assisting federal law enforcement with regard to illegal aliens. It would withhold all funding. I doubt anyone will do that but it should be done. mspart

What is it about Hegseth that creates the opposition? I thought he represented himself well before the committee. He obviously has the welfare of the troops as his top concern. Is that bad? mspart

Hey, this was a serious request. I have one week to make this jerky and I'm looking for input . If there is no input, that is fine, but I thought his would be something to re-energize this thread. mspart

People can buy what they want. I think though that it is not for the utility of the machine. Rather it is a status symbol. I have money and I can buy this stupid looking thing because I can. Different than that Smart car. It is stupid looking but is not near as costly. mspart

Immigration law, as written and codified, is not being followed. That's why we have an illegal alien problem. There is already law to not let that happen but when the executive branch is derelict in their duty to uphold the law, you need to re address the situation. mspart

Any additions to the card? mspart

I won't be buying one soon. We have a Palisade that doubles as our pickup truck. Stuff stays dry and we can haul grandkids. mspart

I looked up Dodge Ram 1500 and it was 40K. I didn't do an in depth analysis. that is a crazy pic. mspart

There were enough normal Ds that it passed quite easily. But that fact that 158 Ds voted against it is a testament to how much the Ds hate the country and love illegal aliens more. The excuse is that a victim of sexual assault, if here illegally, would get caught up in deportation. He/she should not be here in the first place. I have no issue with this. mspart

I just did a search on how many cyber trucks have been sold. According to the google, 27k+ have been sold. What a bunch of morons is all I have to say. There are a few that I see as I drive around. There are a few tings against it: 1. Ugliest vehicle ever made. Even a panzer has more pizzazz. 2. It is not a truck really, it cannot replace a normal pickup in practice. 3. At $80k a pop, not worth the money. Especially at twice the cost of a normal pickup. mspart
