America's going to find out in the next few days whether we still have
an American republic or a fascist autocratic government. If the
legislative branch has no power to compel the executive branch to comply
with its rulings, it's pretty much all over for the USA. That's the
breaks.

UDDER nonsense, David...!!!
YAHOO NEWS:
Bill Maher Praises Trump After Attending Private Dinner Organized by Kid
Rock
"Bill Maher has praised Donald Trump after having a private dinner with
him last month...
Yes, even though Maher has spent years railing against Trump on his HBO
show, Real Time With Bill Maher, the comedian has softened his view of
the president after attending the White House on March 31st for a dinner
organized by longtime MAGA-supporter, Kid Rock...
As Maher recounted during Friday’s monologue of Real Time, Trump was
“gracious,” and “much more self-aware than he lets on in public,” making
jokes, asking for others’ thoughts, and not taking offense to dissenting
opinions. “Just for starters: he laughs,” Maher said. “I’ve never seen
him laugh in public. But he does, including at himself. He’s not
fake.”...
Continuing, Maher claimed Trump even used the word “lost” to describe
the outcome to his 2020 bid for the presidency. “I said, ‘Wow, I never
thought I’d hear you say that,’” Maher recalled. “He didn’t get mad.”...
Maher then praised some of Trump’s controversial policies, like reigning
in DEI (which Maher agreed had “gone too far”), his action against trans
athletes, his immigration policy, his support for Israel, and more...
Though Maher clarified he still had disagreements with the president, he
declared: “A crazy person doesn’t live in the White House. A person who
plays a crazy person on TV a lot lives there, which I know is fucked up.
It’s just not as fucked up as I thought it was.”...
Maher was evidently so impressed by the hospitality that, when he got
home and watched clips of Trump in a press conference, he found himself
wondering: “Who’s that guy? What happened to Glinda the Good Witch?”...
