I like politicians that get caught, but keep doing it anyway.

Have no sympathy for Little Marco. He’s the only one in the cabinet who knows better but just along with it.

It's official: Google maps has now renamed it Gulf of America:

 

According to my VPN, Mexico, of course, is having none of it:

 

Canada appears to be hedging its bets:

I can still see "Mexico" under the part where the Sharpie wrote, "America." I refuse to comply with this nonsense.

More worried about taking care of illegals than our own people especially in the southeast. Shut FEMA down and give the money directly to the states. Bye Felicia.

One of my favorite places in the US is Santa Fe, New America.

True.

I made a faulty prediction that Trump run for President on reforming the elitist leftist judiciary. He didn’t, but then, it turns out he didn’t even have to. But I would be surprised to see the next four years pass without his at least trying to fire, or otherwise force the removal of, every judge and justice in the country who does not privilege MAGA over the Constitution.

This is why we can't have nice things with you around.  Biden was told how he was handling student debt forgiveness was unconstitutional, so he stopped doing that way and tried another means to achieve his goal that he felt was constitutional.  If it isn't, parties have a right to challenge that too.

His tweet above is that despite being stopped, he continued to fight for his goal.  Nothing is legally wrong with that. 

Trump has every right to try and enact any changes he wants to do, but if what he does is determined to be out of his legal rights, he needs to find another way to do it.

This is a very good point. I don't actually think it's as bad for people doing basic research for industry, I think the people that feel this the most are the R&D research and engineering types who run into the conflict that in most corporations everyone except those lucky enough to be in long term basic research ultimately report to sales. And if you are a data/truth driven worker you find out pretty fast that truth is about the first thing that goes down the drain when there's a customer to be sold. After a while that gets ....fatiguing....to deal with. Sure did for me.

I've worked in both academia and industry, and there are definitely good things about industry-typically you'll get higher pay, better benefits, and it's a lot easier to get a lot of the day to day things (pipet tips, reagents, etc), without having to jump through a series of hoops. 

The biggest benefit of academia, for me, is that it has been a lot more stable-followed closely by being able to work around a diverse group of students, researchers, and technicians. In industry, I was laid off 3 times in 5 years, whereas my last couple of jobs I've been at for 15, and 5 years respectively.

Very well articulated.

ewsieg described it much better, but this isn’t even remotely the same thing. He never ignored any judge order here. This  is a lie.

How did the other way work out for him?

When was Biden told he was improperly acting on the student debt?

Joe Biden was in the Senate for what, 50 years? Then Biden sits as the Vice President for eight years. And you’re going to believe he didn’t realize his scheme to forgive student debt was unconstitutional. A sitting president?
You don’t believe there was some internal conversation with his people on the legality of this prior to his acting? He knew full well what he was doing was not legal BEFORE he acted.
He literally did what Trump is doing, pushing the envelope knowing that the courts will call him on it. The executive branch has gotten very comfortable the last number of years with the exercise of floating actions without any legal backing. They’re forcing courts to respond, if they will. Testing the boundaries through the courts, more or less. 
Trump is taking this same tactic to the extreme right now. Unfortunately, it’s become too common.

When it comes to lies not much is topping this one.

It was found to be unconstitutional by the SC. Nothing Trump did has risen to that level yet. The left are still marching in the streets like SC was ignored.

What difference does it make? The point is we have laws in this country and they apply to everyone.

I’m nothing has had a chance to get to the SC because it’s only been a few weeks, but if you haven’t noticed his EOs are getting hammered by judges.
