The President cannot shut down an agency created by Congress. That is illegal.

Hours after Russell Vought took over as acting head of the CFPB, its website is down. This is awful — and likely will be challenged — but they’re also unleashing Elizabeth Warren at a whole new level now.

Who will stop them?

terrypasta.bsky.social•15 days ago

You've got a Hitler admirer smashing the entire state to pieces and in a country with more guns than people no one has the courage or principles to go and do anything about it.

fernmonkey.bsky.social•15 days ago

There's very little overlap on the Venn diagram between the ones with courage and principles and the ones with the guns.

terrypasta.bsky.social•15 days ago

True. But there must be at least one. After all, Luigi wasn't even particularly left-wing.

True.
But.
Who. Is. Stopping. Him?

Hearing that a lot lately. And yet...

gardylou-games.bsky.social•14 days ago

I know people shit on pointing out they are doing illegal things, but we have to keep clarifying this is illegal bullshit and expect/demand it being stopped by a court.

A lot of people saying “legal and illegal don’t matter anymore bro” must have missed how many actions are stayed right now.

comradepalindrome.bsky.social•15 days ago

And yet he did it's as if laws are made up??? What???

iamgodzilla.bsky.social•15 days ago

Someone should tell the President. He'll be so embarrassed when he finds out.

fickdich.bsky.social•15 days ago

Please inform this to that imbecile Merrick garland and that other imbecile James Comey. These two unleashed this monster upon the country.

iamgodzilla.bsky.social•15 days ago

Someone should tell the liberals who thought that moving further and further right was the way to defeat the right.

impcus.bsky.social•15 days ago

Bro "legal" and "illegal" isnt relevant anymore, can u people get a clue?

dineenporter.bsky.social•15 days ago

Supreme Court ruled that nothing the president does is illegal so long as he puts it on White House stationary. All three branches of government have chosen dictatorship. Laws are just stories we tell ourselves and America decided it doesn’t want to tell the story of democracy any longer.

dineenporter.bsky.social•15 days ago

Fascism is an ad hoc form of government. The law only exists to retrain its enemies.

nursegenius1019.bsky.social•15 days ago

Bless and keep Elizabeth Warren. She is a treasure

whisperingsage.bsky.social•15 days ago

If a law is not enforced, then it might as well not exist.

resist33.bsky.social•15 days ago

Stopping him is Congress job! Very first sentence in. Constitution!
Republicans swore to defend Constitution not a child like president!
Johnson is worthless as tits on a boar hog!

Do we finally have enough to IMPEACH him?

Damn, does he know? I’m sure Donald Trump doesn’t want to break the fucking law.

Impeachable abuse of power

jacobharr.is•15 days ago

The agency still exists. However there are certain mandatory things it does as specified by Congress that require a working website.

skskinner.bsky.social•15 days ago

What’s illegal? When you can get away with a violent coup, you can get away with anything. It’s over.

jmonkeh.bsky.social•15 days ago

Congrats, you've figured out they'll do whatever they want until someone physically stops them.

replyguyincognito.bsky.social•15 days ago

surely, he'll realize this and come to his senses!

theabh.bsky.social•15 days ago

You should call the White House and tell them about this silly little misunderstanding

nowarbutclasswar.bsky.social•15 days ago

So what

artisanrox.bsky.social•15 days ago

I don't think they care.

rockleesmiletv.bsky.social•15 days ago

The president also can't be a convicted federal criminal rapist nazi but here we are!

lonevoice.bsky.social•15 days ago

Even Justice Roberts and the supermajority of his court do not seem to think it is illegal!

akajuhlz.bsky.social•15 days ago

It is illegal.

And?

katherineduclos.bsky.social•15 days ago

They don’t care it’s illegal. Why does everyone keep talking about laws?! They don’t care, that is precisely the point!

seighless.bsky.social•15 days ago

And yet the courts keep stopping them. Why do you people feel the need to make the situation sound even worse than it actually is? It’s almost like you have an agenda to make people lose all hope in their government.

gardylou-games.bsky.social•14 days ago

Yes, we know they don’t care they are breaking the law…which makes it more important for media and citizens to say, “hey, you’re doing illegal shit over there!”

And the courts are pausing his really bad and laughably unconstitutional stuff. Yes I wish it was more but laws still fucking matter.

katherineduclos.bsky.social•15 days ago

I have no agenda. I don’t believe courts will hold when the Supreme Court has said the President is immune. They gave him that power ahead of time and he’s now acting on it. The checks and balances will
not hold without more government officials getting in his direct way.

lukerussell.bsky.social•15 days ago

We continue talking about laws because they exist even when they are being broken.

When people stop talking about laws is when you really need to worry.

trainsgenderfoamer.bsky.social•15 days ago

That doesn't matter when he doesn't give a shit what the laws says and it's clear he is outrunning consequences

kea4.bsky.social•15 days ago

A country that re-elects a CONVICTED FELON doesn’t care much about the rule of law. A country that Re-elects an insurrectionist doesn’t care about their country. Full stop.

mykenk.us•15 days ago

That convicted felon is probably the only hope of stopping Musk at this point. 😔

Now if the USA was a nation of gun owners you'd be able to do something about this. But alas.

goodgirlgang.bsky.social•15 days ago

if only there hadn't been a decades-long bipartisan propaganda-and-domestic-terrorism campaign to disarm everyone leftward of ronald reagan by politicizing having a gun and turning all attempts to disarm nazis against marginalized populi instead

rueshine.bsky.social•15 days ago

You could probably still walk into Target or wherever and buy one though. Propaganda campaign or not.

rueshine.bsky.social•15 days ago

Don't get me wrong, I do sympathise, but surely there comes a time when you draw a line under everything that's gone before and go 'time for action'. And surely that's now with Musk etc.

jeanlucbacardi.bsky.social•15 days ago

I mean I agree but let's not pretend guns are inaccessible right now

wenleh.bsky.social•15 days ago

Congress needs a policy police force now!!

antilinguist.bsky.social•15 days ago

Have you put that on your vision board? That will double the power of manifestation that saying "that is illegal" has.

seegras.bsky.social•15 days ago

Well, you probably already have the proof of the crime in form of an signed confession, aka Executive Order.

So arrest that perp then. With force if he resists.

tprophet.bsky.social•15 days ago

The Party can do whatever it wants when the Party is the legislature, the executives, and the courts. The army is controlled by and serves the Party. That's how it works in China, and these days, also how it works in the United States of America.

laws only exist if they are enforced and I keep waiting for any enforcement whatsoever

jackphantom.bsky.social•15 days ago

He isn’t- Musk is.

papadelta.bsky.social•15 days ago

Please understand one thing. They - Trump/Musk Tyranny Trust - do not care of what is legal and what is illegal. They will destroy American federation much faster than the judicial machinery will wake up.

umotu.bsky.social•15 days ago

But then how will he be able to take all the money? He doesn’t care about other people’s money…Grifters gotta grift.

uaau.bsky.social•15 days ago

The Supreme Court begs to differ.

dribrats.bsky.social•15 days ago

If the Court doesn't enforce the Constitution, the People will. And the members of the Court may not enjoy the way that goes.

goodgirlgang.bsky.social•15 days ago

laws require force to uphold them when they are broken, otherwise they are guidelines, like OSHA and FDA regulations
