    From your link

    White House chief of staff Mark Meadows said earlier Sunday that USPS will not dismantle any mail-sorting machines between now and Election Day.
    "Sorting machines between now and Election Day will not be taken off line," Meadows told CNN's Jake Tapper on "State of the Union."

    Welp, just wasted my time actually watching this video, only to find your claim is STILL COMPLETELY NON-FACTUAL. Not only did she never support your claim that she said Congress could initiate the 25th Amendment . . . she said THE EXACT ****ING OPPOSITE and said that "It is time that HIS CABINET" should initiate section 4 of the 25th Amendment. Please review your own videos before posting. It is getting really old to do the homework of Trump supporters for them. Really old. Not sure if I can keep doing it.

    Funny how he keeps specifying "between now and Election Day" and steadfastly refuses to discuss the machines ALREADY removed, which is what prompted the whole thing.

    More interest than Trump has ever shown, at least.

    Whataboutism noted. I'm sure the shameless congresswoman from California would appreciate your deflection.

    What gives him the authority to suspend FICA taxes?

    Probably cost saving, not unusual under any administration.

    By, in the very least, continually bypassing the tax and spending clauses and passing his own taxes without Congress and securing his own spending without Congress. Save your breath. I've already had Trump supporters lecture me about how those parts of the Constitution don't matter anymore. Not sure if I'm up to hear more attacks on the Constitution in the name of Trump worship. It's getting old. Hell, even Trump himself has now called parts of the Constitution "phony" and his lackeys have fallen in line to agree.

    It was a stupid comment. And the more you think about that section of the 25th in practical terms, the more you realize it was a waste of words. It protects us from a President lying in a coma for 3 months and not much else.

    Continually bypassing the tax and spending clauses? Since when?

    Aren't you arguing with me in the other thread that Trump's responsible for spending? You're trying to have it both ways, lol.

    Which part did he call phony. Didn't hear that part.

    Since every single tariff he passed and every time he has tried circumventing Congress for his favorite spending projects. Have you been hibernating?

    You are having quote reading problems. Congress write budget. President sign on budget. Trump spend even outside budget. Trump pass taxes Congress no approve, outside Constitution. You understand?

    He called the emoluments clauses phony, in addition to ignoring the tax and spending clauses.

    It is amazing how much Waters relishes in proudly showing off her idiotic stupidity.

    Except she never actually said that. The OP made it up. It's amazing how much Trump supporters relish in failing to read in order to make up fake accusations.

    You don't understand whataboutism. You also don't understand deflection. Let me help you read: I called Farrakhan an idiotic racist too. Whataboutism and deflection involve EXCUSING one person's actions by pointing to another. I'm CONDEMNING both while pointing out the blind hypocrisy of Trump supporters. Understand now?

    I've already answered this. Feel free to respond.

    Fake argument. And one I've already corrected. Feel free to respond.

    The emoluments clauses. I've already answered this question. Feel free to respond.

    I can't read for you. Please read. If that is too much to ask, then we can end this "conversation" now.

    Not more, but still a good point. I remember him saying "take the guns first, due process second" Feinstein looked like she won the lottery. As far as actions denying citizens their constitution rights, dems are in the lead.

    Sorry, I look at it more as Trump saving people from going broke due to a Liberal dominated House hijacking a relief bill because they want to illegally fund their friends causes instead of helping the people that need the money.

    False. Congress has, over the years, ceded a large amount of discretion to the Executive Branch with respect to tariffs. Examples include:
    Trading with the Enemy Act of 1917
    Economic Powers Act of 1977
    Trade Act of 1974, Section 122

    And if Trump doesn't sign, Democrats shut down government and pout. I understand just fine, lol. What taxes are you talking about?

    The claims that he violated the emoluments clause were phony.

    I've seen Trump either argue against or outright circumvent the tax clause, the spending clause, second amendment rights, first amendment rights, 14th amendment rights, due process, etc. He's far in the lead. Not voting for a Dem either, but Trump is far in the lead here.

    Trump has advocated for more spending. He's done MORE to make us broke. He makes Dems look like economic conservatives my comparison.

    The left wing wackos proposed a $3 trillion bill with most of the money not going to the people while Republicans proposed a $1-1.5 trillion bill. Trump just extended releif to the end of the year which is less than both all while helping people put food on their tables. So Mr. Genius mathmetician, you do the freaking math,

    Hes really not. The USPS could have that extra money but House Dems wont drop the $1 TRILLION dollars they want for states/large cities (namely ones they control) from the latest stimulus package. So really its Democrats hamstringing the Post Office - along with us not getting our second check.
