        So it’s about as convincing as a YouTuber telling me to SMASH that like and subscribe button?

      It’s happening. The rich guy does whatever he wants and the world bends to accommodate.

    If the president defies the courts, what happens? Is it a toothless dog or are there genuine systems in place? I genuinely don’t know (European). My next thought is that if not, the US has a King with unimpeachable powers. Holy fuck.

    My guess is the money is gone. Moved into some billionaire or DOGEbag’s pockets.
