President Trump’s Justice Department has concluded that a federal law requiring presidential records to be turned over to the government is unconstitutional, a senior White House official tells Axios. Why it matters: The finding is an indication Trump will be reluctant to give all of his official records to the National Archives at the end of his term, as presidents have done for nearly a half-century under the Presidential Records Act of 1978.

    I wouldn’t count on the SC decision, they’ve made it clear their decisions are now heavily partisan.

    Heck there may even still be a Republican president, and majority in the house and/or senate next presidency, because of voter suppression, literal direct vote manipulation (cheating/rigging), Elon offering idiot voters million dollar cheques, media capture (lying and brainwashing), voter apathy, an astounding amount of cognitively damaged voters that no longer value right and wrong or can tell truth from fiction… Etcetc.

    Trump and his allies broke so many election laws and tried their hardest to cheat in the last two elections and there were essentially no consequences for Trump, only benefits, and few consequences for his allies - many of which have now been pardoned / rewarded… and now his cronies run everything. I don’t see how you guys vote your way out of this tbh.

    Still vote of course, but set expectations that they’ll cheat and prepare for a disaster. The last two elections have been bad, but the next election is going to be a goddamn mess.
