(#6228) A shimmer of light this morning...

      The US Supreme Court by a 6-3 margin has ruled trumps sweeping tariffs unconstitutional. Not all his tariffs are included in this ruling but a large swath of them. Now trump may well use other mechanisms to reapply the tariffs but his ability to do as he pleases is the big takeaway here. Beer boy and the 2 decrepit assholes voted to keep the tariffs as constitutionally protected but they were overruled by the slightly less incompetent other 3 republicans on the the court along with the shining 3 liberals who are in line with constitutional intent. But again the takeaway is that the 3 republicans found their backbone and defended the constitution over trump's imperialistic demands.
     What does this mean going forward? For me it is the crack in the armor of trump to portray himself as a strongman. He didn't destroy the court for ruling against him he instead accepted their decision. That was a real question to me. Would trump abide by a Supreme Court ruling of this magnitude or would he go apeshit and ignore the court with anger and retribution. He didn't do that and acquiesced instead. His persona of a tough guy just vanished and instead we see the frail belligerent hollow man. Each time he takes a hit on his authority as he perceives it, gives the rest of us minions in his eyes more courage to stand up to him.
     With today's news of the tariff ruling going against him and the National GDP numbers dropping precipitously a double hammer has come down on him. He has to know that he is in trouble and today may well be a further decline in his ability to ravage our society. I have been under the impression that for months now trump is going through the throes of diminishment and this morning further bolsters my opinion in that direction. So maybe more than a shimmer of light and possibly a full blast of white hot heat pointing us to the end of trump instead of the relentless flogging he seems to relish inflicting on us!
