Their plans to centralize more power in the Oval stretch far beyond TFG’s remarks that he would order a criminal investigation into…Biden, signaling his intent to end the postWatergate norm of #DOJ independence from WH politicalcontrol.
#Trump &his assoc have a broader goal: alter the #BalanceOfPower by increasing the president’s authority over EVERY PART OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT that now operates, by either #law or tradition, w/any measure of independence from political interference by the WH…

#AllStarTrek Were they doing tracking shots in later episodes? When S1 shows started replaying, I suddenly noticed them and they seemed oddly different.

@carljshirley
Gonna watch this episode a little later tonight, but the #StarTrekStrangeNewWorlds Season 1 finale is a recreation of this episode, with Pike as the captain of the Enterprise, and Kirk as a captain on another ship assisting.

@politicsusa46 "burn down the house and run as a third party candidate " only if we are lucky. never underestimate the dems ability to shoot themselves in the foot; see 2016. remember right now the #corps are paying both sides and win in all cases until we can re-establish our democracy; 3 independent branches of government with #balanceOfPower and #checksAndBalances with #honorable people serving the needs of the people . we have a few honorable people in our gov now but very few.

Interesting to observe the #EU making clear overtures to the western #Balkans while #Putin attempts to destroy #Ukraine. #BalanceOfPower is shifting.

@leahmcelrath with the republican party, the #GOP. The good folks in the USA must feel like it must have felt to the good folk in early 1930's Germany watching the growth of the #nazi party. We all know how that turned out. be afraid, be very afraid. #SeparationOfPower and #BalanceOfPower are the corner stones of a free healthy #democracy

Brothers No More
"Over the next four years the American Party and the Know Nothing movement fall apart for basically the same reasons the Whigs did, and when the 1864 Democratic convention falls apart, nominating three candidates (a northern one, a southern one, and a fringe one), Senator William H. Seward wins as the first president from the young, anti-slavery Republican Party in 1864 after gaining the endorsement of …"

A Tense Situation
"In the United States, tensions over the place of slavery in the Union were rising as many Democrats and Whigs in the South wanted the new territories to be organised out west to be given “popular sovereignty”. That is, to decide for themselves whether slavery was to be allowed or not. As most of the territory was north of the Missouri Compromise Line of 36°30’, this angered many abolitionists. Fillmore’s …"

Gold Fever
"The California Gold Rush starts, but after almost 15 years of increasing autonomy and home rule, the attempts to impose greater central control in Alta California to drain taxation- and economic-related monies from the gold rush back to the central government prompted Alta California to declare independence. Attempts were made to bring it to heel but were just as toothless and unsuccessful as all the bluster …"

America Moves West
"Henry Clay’s election as president of the United States was the death knell for the Jacksonian ideal of expansion and a domination of the Presidency by the Whigs until Mallard Fillmore’s handling of the Kansez-Nibraska question.
Clay’s American System had stimulated talks of a transcontinental railroad, especially after the organization of Oregon Territory from the American share of the lands of the Pacific …"

Manifestly Different
"In the United States of America, James Polk becomes the dark horse candidate for the Democratic nomination because of Martin van Buren’s anti-slavery stance and picks up votes because of his support of Secretary of State Abel Upshur’s theory that Britain was pressing the Texians for emancipation. While this was enough for Polk to win the Democratic nomination he loses the election on the economic question …"
