—

Rather than relying on his party’s control of Congress to trim the #budget, Trump and his advisers intend to test an obscure legal theory holding that presidents have sweeping power to defund programs they dislike.

How Donald Trump Plans to Take Spending Control From Congress

The second-term president likely will seek to cut off spending that lawmakers have already appropriated, setting off a constitutional struggle within the branches. If successful, he could wield the power to punish perceived foes.

IMO, nobody in the southern hemisphere, or living close to the #equator wants to hike all the way to the #US

They'd much rather live and prosper right where they are.

However, due to a) climate change and b) Americans' love of drugs, they're left with few options.

They didn't cause a) and don't have a b) problem. Yet, they're impacted by both.

Other countries, mostly autocratic regimes, try to empower the southern countries with the ability to be enterprising with a + b endeavors.

Alas, those with great power choose b) every time since it's easy money. Indenturing any in favor of fixing a, so b remains empowered.

1. Stop blaming regimes for aiding the south in being successful entrepreneurs, and 2. Stop blaming those wanting to join the party.

Just fix it, #congress

Or clear a path for those that actually want to!
