With some of the things that I have liked, I am dismayed by some of these other actions.

I will, for the next several years, quote Catherine Fitts in that "Trump was selected because he could be the guy to get things done, quickly; Biden was too slow" (paraphrasing of course) in her discussion with Danny Jones. Essentially meaning that the presidential selection was always going to go to the Donald. Kamala would have never been able to be effective in the way that the powers that shouldn't be want. They need speed and confusion not steady and thoughtful. (not that I think Kamala could have been thoughtful, but she was likely to be slow)

We live in a world of increasingly shadow powers. Many of us learned this in the last 10 years. It started with the Clintons, and them (in my belief) giving Bernie the 3am phone call "shut up or people close to you will get hurt" because he was making too many waves. His tune changed VERY quickly when he was crushing her. Since then, it has gone downhill for me.

It is far less about the enumerated powers written in the Constitution than it has been for a long time. Granted though, the Constitution I am learning was not a golden ticket either. There was a lot of corruption and disagreement at that time as well. Robert Morris seems a lot like the Donald Trump of his day except I don't think he ended up being a president. Very rich and wanted to get his way.

At the same time, many have said that this was a way to flex the American power muscle that atrophied greatly under Biden, to potentially prevent other wars in the future where countries have thought we have grown weak. I can see both your side of that, as well as this other.
