The legislative branch is letting him do all of the above. They have the power to stop him at any time. They are to blame for this monster they have created.
In his bid to delegitimize ‘resistance’ to his wrecking-ball approach to government, Trump has dismissed The Constitution and the Rule of Law as inconveniences—null and void by his own decree. He simply sees no need to follow them.
The Budget Bill formally grants him the power to ignore both.
Donnies fav wet dream is to rule the US like his pal Vlad, in Moscow! He ain't leaving the WH when his term is up. That's my feeling about what he's up too, plus he's got all his mignons kissing his ring, all yes Donnie, what ever you say Donnie 🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮
What they actually said is that he can't be prosecuted for infractions that occur while he is performing his official duties as POTUS, but that he is liable to be prosecuted for things he does as a private citizen.
Or actions outside the bounds of his official duties as POTUS. There is broad latitude in that to prosecute him for his pure corruption beyond his “official duties”. I don’t think bribery and blackmail are official duties. Nor for that matter disregard of the constitutional checks and balances.
He’s a twice impeached President and a convicted felon and yet - he’s the sitting President. That’s my final answer. Good luck with any prosecutions beyond his “official duties.”
Well, the 'Orange Moron' is hell-bent on rewriting the law on his terms. It's very disturbing that the US Supreme Court isn't doing more to stop this insanity.😠
Unfortunately SCOTUS decided to "extend" the Constitution with their foolish "immunity" decision last year and create a power to do that third thing without facing criminal liability. Sad!
I'm with ya, beyond pissed! While most are on the same side, there's no time for silence! We must be LOUD about it. It's the only way to facilitate change.🤗
My point is complaining on this app is ridiculous and a waste of time since most of the people we follow are democrats or people who won't for people in this administration. I don't need to see trump bull shit posted over and over again, we get it. This isn't the place everywhere else is a target.
I just got done following back an I read all these bios and people mention I do wood working or stain glass or fly ties, but when you look not one Pic of the favorite things they do!
The Constitution has ceased to exist. It ceased to exist when SCOTUS allowed FLOTUS to run for office after being disqualified per Article 3 of the 14th amendment. The longer Americans refuse to face reality the harder it will be to end this and return our country to the rule of law.
The truth is we do not have a president.He is a mouthpiece for a 1% fascist corporate coup. None of them - Trump or his coup crew - give a flying fuck about the Constitution or the law.
We need to use it or lose it. But it’s not going to change their course. They are enacting a corporate takeover.
But these maga republicans are letting him do all three …here’s an idea…why not get rid of those stupid maga in office by impeachment trump is not the only one that can be impeached
Right now, the Constitution is just a piece of paper. Republikkkans are pissing on it, democrats have no power, the people are protesting and corruption reigns.
It may be in the 'Trump family crest' ? You know the one he stole from another family as their crest was hanging on the wall when he stole (fraudulently obtained bank loans) MAGA A Lago.
"Oh look! Let's take their name off, put on Trump"
This is the only problem.
The GOP has decided they want a king, and they picked a corrupt narcissist with a family of rabid squirrels for a brain and a deceased armadillo for a moral compass.
They are the problem and we need to take out billboards and show their constituents what they voted for.
There is a story that doubt is true, but it illustrates your point. Young GOP rep tells Sen. Barry Goldwater, "I believe in this bill, but if I vote for it, I'll lose the election."
Clearly, today's GOP needs to hear it, and appreciate it. Too bad they're so craven and cowardly.... 'too bad' being a mild way of saying that the party in power is allowing the demented disgrace to destroy us, for tax cuts.
I'd start with your spineless/corrupt Senator and Congressman and expand from there. A concentric outward pattern is best to make sure you don't miss anybody.
And yet this scotus gave him full immunity to ignore the law, break the law and full power to enforce his royal decrees
Scotus & politically appointed and fully corrupt judges are the final straw
Oh, the Tea Party days, when they used to shove pocket constitutions at you because the read amendments 1 & 2.
They liked those ones.
Now the party they created is LITERALLY
ANTI-CONSTITUTION &
ANTI-AMERICAN
While I absolutely agree, he’s STILL doing it. WHO will stand up to this awful creature? I mean people in the wild are doing a lot, but unless Congress and the SCOTUS holds him accountable, it’s like the constitution doesn’t exist.
This is the first of my "No Kings in America" protest songs with the unimaginative name of "June 14th". Please share as much as possible. Thank you. https://youtu.be/3NzguKlY2Kk?si=dCaCDaH2iCqMcEBY
And zero power of the purse. Congress is supposed to decide how funds are allocated. If they've abdicated that responsibility, that's on them and we should be raising hell with them about it.
Thing is there is no one obeying the constitution!
I do believe that the rotting administrators are using the constitution as toilet paper!
Criminals are in power and have started killing the populace. We better get real or most of us will be dead by the end of the year!
The MAGA Congress gave him all their rights that they had. They are now co conspirators, responsible for what he does and doesn't do...the EOs that are all overturned by the courts, are telling them, '"get off your lazy asses and do you jobs, if you remember you have a job."
They enjoy sitting back and watching their own voters die, don't ever doubt it. They could have stopped him, but loosing a few million voters don't bother them...
I do agree that the courts need to get in gear and enforce their rulings. Once that happens, this administrations facade will crumble. Everyone will get to see their true colors.
For that to be true, someone has to enforce the laws and rulings of the courts when the president does any or all of those things. So far, the president has all those powers. Weak ass country.
When you realize that this president is psychotic, his words and actions make more sense. What doesn't, is the way the GOP treats him--until you also realize that he is just a tool for them to accomplish ruinous policies they have dreamed of for years.
And he is doing all three while the entire REPUBLICAN PARTY does nothing to stop him. You know, like working to IMPEACH, CONVICT AND REMOVE him. I believe this is because the entire REPUBLICAN party no longer supports this country or democracy, and the definitely do not support their constituents
This is post constitutional. There’s no going back to that now. Whatever happens, all we can do now is start something new when this is over. And one day, a long time from now, an angry man will figure out how to ruin that too.
Yeah, just looking at the things the Executive and the Roberts court have done, I don’t really see a way back to the rule of law from here. Too much has been broken, institutionally and legally, that can’t be put back.
So, why isn't the Congress, the"fake,""failing," "liberal,""Mainstream,""News Media,"demanding that Trump B impeached and removed from office now"with all deliberate speed?" Trump is corrupt,incompetent,a Russian Asset, convicted felon,indicted seditionist, insurrectionist,

It also gives the President one really big thing: The Duty to Protect and Defend the Constitution from ALL Enemies...Foreign and DOMESTIC...
and sadly, this ONE Joe Biden totally failed to do..
and thus we have the New Fascist Dictatorship of Donald Trump ..and LAWS don't really matter anymore.
Who monitors the president to ensure he follows the rules?
Those who have the power to do so?
The Republican representatives?
Americans, you're so screwed...

Unfortunately we have a Supreme Court that doesn’t support the Constitution 😳
SUPREME COUP
LOL
And neither does SCOTUS.
The Constitution is not a spellbook. It doesn’t cast protection unless people enforce it.
Law doesn’t hold tyrants back. People do.
Or don’t.
That’s the choice.
We need to use it or lose it. But it’s not going to change their course. They are enacting a corporate takeover.

The Supreme Court needs to hear it.
to mean the president can ignore AND break the law.
Thanks SCOTUS...you giant pieces of shit.
Trump can do anything he wants and get away with it.
NO ONE WILL STOP TRUMP.
Trump is not immortal. No one is immortal. Eventually we all “stop”. That is the one truth of this existence that cannot be denied or avoided
(If we can get our act together)
Unitary Executive THEORY!
