3 equal branches is modern propaganda.

Congress has explicit authority to craft exceptions and regulations to SCOTUS appellate authority and what executive can do via power of the purse

Congress has explicit authority to reshape the court system

Legislative branches then have ultimate authority. The people in power are merely LARPing their hands are tied as they appeal to the propaganda we were all fed in public school (curriculum dictated by legislation)

It's all quid pro quo and intentional obfuscation by the people holding the scepter, gavel; whatever sigils and totem of power the elders worship blindly

SCOTUS authority should be whittled down the to explicitly defined powers with regard to ambassadors and treaties. The Judiciary as a whole should a part of these decisions not a cherry picked panel of obviously partisan hacks vetted by obviously partisan hacks

That we all sit around waiting on a bunch of incontinent elders glitching out live on TV is an massive indictment of the American public itself

My colleagues over seas are done with Americans as they feel they are not rising to meet the moment with the intensity required. They no longer see us as a reliable population interested in collaboration but as a bunch of low skilled, checked out, low effort analysts exploiting labor.

I don't blame them. You all keeping me off the hook for your healthcare with the lack of political action. So good luck but if you all end up homeless well by our cultural custom "not my problem thoughts and prayers"; guess you all should have planned better as a society
