U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio will issue a fresh warning to European allies at a NATO meeting of foreign ministers later this week, pushing for the continent to keep up orders of American weapons, according to a new report. European officials publicly and privately agree that Europe must do more to ensure its own defense, with wavering confidence in how reliable an ally the U.S., which has historically provided much of the continent's most expensive military capabilities, now is. European initiatives to boost defense spending in line with U.S. insistence have sought to fund industry on the continent, paving the way to a more powerful European military-industrial complex. It is still not clear how big a step Europe will take away from the U.S.'s formidable defense industry, and how the Trump administration's stance could impact the country's defense giants. read more

Basically, as with pretty much everything, it comes down to how Trump's SCOTUS wants to read it. Dollars to doughnuts on how at least four of the MAGATs there will vote.

Constitutional Expert Warns How Trump Really Could Get Third TermI'm sure we can count on Trump's SCOTUS to put an end to this nonsense ...
In an X post Monday, the Harvard Law professor wrote: "Anyone discounting a 3d Trump term per the 22d am + the 12th am is thinking magically: The 22d dsn't bar *serving* a 3d term, only being *elected* 3 times."
Tribe, who has been publicly critical of Trump over the years, is a trusted advisor to the Democratic Party. He represented former Vice President Al Gore in the landmark decision Bush v. Gore regarding a dispute over recounting votes in the 2000 election, and served in the Justice Department during former President Barack Obama's first term, the latter of which used to work for Tribe at Harvard Law.

Only hope would be for Obama to do the same thing, although I could see Dem voters refusing to violate a Constitutional bar out of principle, while the GOP would not, handing the White House to Trump again, because Dems are idiots and get their panties into a wad at the slightest bump in the road.

Thanks Trump, for running the US economy like he ran his bankrupted casinos. I'm sure the blatant stock manipulation has earned him a few bucks, though, so that's nice.

Wait, is this legit? Interesting if true, and would explain much. Also, it would be sexual assault
Transgender man Tarjit Singh who tricked women into sexual relationships jailed for 10 yearsBut I don't know whether it would qualify as legitimate rape according to the GOP, so Boaz might be out of luck if he tried to prosecute.
Singh, of Enfield, north London, was convicted of three counts of assault by penetration, six counts of assault occasioning actual bodily harm, and one count of making a threat to kill, after a trial at Snaresbrook Crown Court earlier this year.
