What is Plenary Authority?

Plenary authority refers to a single government official having absolute power on a particular matter.

According to Cornell Law School’s Legal Information Institute, in the U.S., it is recognised as “complete power over a particular area with no limitations”.

    Couldn’t find an article with video, but here’s the clip:

    It’s not just disconcerting that he said the president has full and unmitigated authority…

    It’s that after he said it, he realized his best move was to fucking pretend he froze. That’s how real it is, he just isn’t supposed to say it yet

    And since CNN refused to press it and went along with an obvious fake freeze, they get an obligatory: Fuck CNN.

        CNN is owned by Warner Discovery, which is owned by private equity. They don’t just lick the boot, they are the boot. All major media corporations in America are owned by the corporate elite.

        Larry Ellison is trying to buy TikTok and his son runs CBS. Elon owns X. Zuck owns Threads, Facebook, Instagram, and what’s app. Murdoch owns fox, but also News Corp, which runs The Wall Street Journal, The Times (of London), The Sun, The Australian, Herald Sun, The Daily Telegrap, and the New York Post. He also owns Tubi. Jeff Bezos owns the Washington Post. Allmost all of the mainstream ways of getting news are owned by billionaires.

            Ah yes, the mythical left leaning news sources.

            CNN regularly calls for the dissolution of capitalism.

            MSNBC cannot stop talking about that socialist revolution.

            Mother Jones making the case for eco terrorism.

            All those “lefty” news sources /S

                No mainstream news is reporting what is going on. The only major group I know that is even doing decent reporting right now would be the MeidasTouch Network.

                Everything else is either directly supporting this administration or indirectly supporting by reporting the facts with no pushback to the insanity.

      And apologized to this piece of shit. As if there’s a technical issue that makes his mouth suddenly stop moving while the rest of his body continues to move.

        A ‘technical issue’? Are they saying Miller is some sort of android? He might need resetting to factory settings.
