@mjsdc.bsky.social and other lawyers have pointed out that the sheer lazy incompetence of these EOs shows that the Trump people haven't gotten more skilled in the last eight years. CJ Roberts overturned many Trump 1 EOs and a lot of these will meet similar fates.
BLOTUS raised $200 mil for inauguration and spent maybe 5 of it if he paid the alleged performers. So he’s already pocketed that money. Now he’s gonna sell off buildings, lands, rights on public property etc. he wasn’t a billionaire coming in but he will be one shortly.
They have just screwed themselves because large numbers of them rely on social security, Medicare, VA Benefits, etc.
All their complaining about the price of gas and eggs will suddenly seem childish and quaint when faced with the financial hellscape that drumpf is unleashing.
He doesn't need them anymore. The oligarchs will now be quite happy to let Darwin take them out. No more drain on the system. More money for them. The perfect plan.
yeah, but it won’t be easy. the administration will impede itself and there’s a lot a consumer can NOT do. the right doesn’t own the ability to boycott and they got nothing in strikes, but ill treated employees do.
We will be tied up in knots for years? Or will they be tied up in knots for years? Either way it's a wasted four years....waste being the best case scenario - rather than destruction.
Tied up where ? In court. How's the court going to enforce the law if the regime just doesn't show up & does what it wants anyway?
This is where we are, now. I respect you but stop dreaming. We need clear heads
The sleeping masses will awaken when the
porn gets limited to boobs only. Maybe some buttocks
Especially those techno bros desperately trying to signal ‘regular guy’
It’s all they get after all
Exactly - and like the 14th Amendment - Trump can't change the Constitution -
Same with the 22nd Amendment - he can't change the rule of law and not even his Congress mates can help him -
There are lawsuits in these laws already and yep all in DC
Following that line of argument: a convicted felon can’t be president, leading a violent insurrection is an impeachable offense, the 14th Amendment protects birthright citizenship, etc., etc., etc.
I honestly don't know - in my heart of hearts - I am hoping the Democrats will find their cojonies - thus far they are doing nothing -
Factually there are a few groups taking Donald Trump to court - A democratic group and the ACLU -
One is for DOGE its an unofficial none gov - body - with no right
Americans’ arrogance as “the best country in the world,” coupled with our ignorance of history and the realities of fascism and oligarchy, have made us victims of our own political incompetence.
When oligarchs run information systems and their money corrupts government, democracy is destroyed.
And based on the stupid fuckers who voted for him, it’s clear the sheeple will not show the stalwart bravery our ancestors did to first overthrow the monarchy, and then, in WW2, defeat fascism.
Oh no? Wait. He’s got the 3 branches, executive, house, senate. The media. DoJ, SCOTUS, the military, “the nuclear football”. And musk’s money backing him. Did I miss anything?
We should have listened.
House of reps - 217 if all are conjoined -
Thus far this is not factual
Ukrainian American is out as a vote
Mike Turner is conflicted
That's 2 without going right into particulars 215 - same as the Democrats
Party lines are drawn
Senate loses with a few Cabinet picks -special elections
What he said: low cost prescriptions.
What he did: reverse Biden EO to lower prescriptions for MediCaid and Medicare
What he said: lower cost of food and goods
What he did: Double down on tariffs and say they begin Feb 1st
He’s a populist and gave zero policies, just word play & they ate it up
The U.S. will never regain its global standing, after having elected this deranged idiot not just once, but twice. We have once again proven ourselves to be capricious and untrustworthy.
I leave you the task of reading this.
I come from an alternate future where soon the Americans will successfully unite for a supreme revolution aka victory revolution operation to overthrow the oligarchic regime, nationalist Christofascism, and Russia. He will be gone long before his second term.
The shoe is on the other foot now. Democrats need to learn how to fight dirty. No more hand wringing. Trump can be tied up in court for years. Biden nominated a LOT of judges
They don’t have to fight dirty, but they have to fight. Take lessons from McConnell and stand hard on their no vote for every single thing that crosses their desk. No exceptions
Yep, but Democrats need to gun up. Time is coming and pacifists/anti gun/the law will save me pearl clutcher types, which we have more of than they do, will be our undoing.
I recall in 2015 in an interview:
Beat the Ds, Run as a Republican since they're easier to control and go along, own the media to own the narrative and control the laws. If ever, it will take years to fix.
Bannon said year it all down.
Many of us listened.
Unity amongst non Nazis is the way.
Eh, we’re talking about gargantuan systems, and those systems support a lot of people who might not get by without them. Starting over from scratch is not exactly a good solution without a plan for those people.
They should have done a lot more, they had the time. Garland was a waste. Broken a lot more norms. Lincoln suspended habeas corpus, that level of break the rules.
Republicans moved the laws to limit what they could do. Presidential Immunity was the last piece. What people want vs the laws that dictate how things are done is the issue. The highest court said challenges to the candidate must be voted on by CONGRESS
I’m Canadian and suffer great distress and depression over support for this monster. Am I too sensitive? Do others feel this way! Am I a snowflake? My faith in humanity is broken.
No, you are not too sensitive. I guarantee you there are hundreds of thousands of Americans feeling the same way.
I found watching these guys to be helpful. They are psychologists. The more recent ones address, the struggles & feelings we are having.
No, you're not. It's absolutely disgusting that our former friends and allies have elected this regime knowingly and willingly. It's time for the rest of us to disentangle ourselves from the United States - they can't be trusted anymore.
@mcuban.bsky.social
That's not reassuring. 1,000 billionaires in U.S. Can't we find a hundred or so of our own oligarchs who like America, and maybe even most Americans?
Absolutely Jen, and the mainstream media is really not talking much about project 2025. They are just mentioning all the executive orders are waiting for him to sign. But not really where they came from. They should be hammering this home now, but they’re not because they’re part of it also.
ACLU, definitely. SPLC, need to chk them; their focus had been prevention. ✔️Marc Elias on #BlueSky, #FreedomWritersCollaborative on #BlueSky, also ✔️ #Bluecrew. I just ran across mention of National Indivisible network via the local Progressives group where i live. I mean to deep dive into this.
Also, @theguardian.com. They're more global. And BBC reported on Pam Hemphill first: she refused a pradon from The Felon, saying, "I was guilty. And ib. was wrong."
Of course it’s all Project 2025! Trump lied and low info voters bought it. There’s a lot of destruction and carnage coming - 900 pages of horrific EO’s. Not one will be to lower egg prices, reduce middle class taxes or preserve democracy!
People jumped off this bridge on purpose, purely from hate of trans ppl , black women(Kamala), and immigrants. And sold a lie about eggs and milk and gasoline…..
At least humanity will get a proper reset and ppl will know 4sure that them votes (used to) count
I feel like the first Trump presidency was easier because we could count on Trump’s incompetence to keep him from doing too much damage. This time it’s easy to see the guidance of others, those with a plan. It’s truly frightening.
Gotta wonder what the billionaires will do when all the cheap labor is deported and the rest of society is too damn poor to buy their shitty products? These idiots don't understand actions have consequences. 🙄
I’m thinking the non voters are a much smaller number than the exit polls show. Many who mailed in ballots publicly stated they were not counted when they went back to check
It depends on where those million were. Look at the swing states. Blue ballots, except the President. The math ain’t mathin. They changed the law on how he could be challenged
I’m in TX & that is what I was referring to when I said many reported not being able to find their votes. We almost flipped blue with Beto. So a hard red now is a 🚩. That said both states will suffer from mass deportations. There will be infighting
“the wealthy & privileged who live in a heaven built by your labor and your suffering that they themselves don’t experience have managed to convince you that your time to live in heaven will happen after you die”
Oh, he hasn’t broken the law under the auspices of his presidential duty yet. Remember, the Supreme Court said he could do it. And if any soldiers or police are afraid of breaking the law themselves, he’ll pardon them—just as he did the insurrectionists.
for the Contrarian; consider having a monthly humor edition with contributions from many..other than Borowitz. he's fun but... we need various voices ESPECIALLY for humor... ESPECIALLY when snark has been masquerading as humor for too long. please; reach beyon Borowitz
Yes, but my fear is the same complacent morons who either didn’t vote, or voted right, will now be oppressed and under attack and won’t have the energy or spirit to fight back when they’re suffering.
Oh but trump claimed to know nothing about it and much of the media let it go. Your colleagues failed us. Attacking
Biden and then Harris while normalizing the felon got us here.
All of this should be expedited. Should have happened before with such crucial national issues. We are broken as a nation and now we get sold off in pieces.

They need our support now more than ever.

That's, what 100 mill nonvoters enabled ...
It's that simple ..
It's not about the 75 mill for Kamala or the 77 mill for TOW ...
They used their right to vote .
Nonvoters decided again,
willfully and knowingly, about the consequences..
I miss that point in MSM
But... Misogyny was still deciding...
Having a micro penis is worth more than a vagina as commander in chief
This times, Dems lost because of those old fashioned misogynists in their own party ...
25% too young/jailed
Eligible to vote 258 mill
155 mill voted
100 mill non voters
AND YES... It doesn't mean, they all were registered... It they could... If they have wanted..
It's simple math
There we are sadly in a Ln environment, which isn't able to prove , therefore not really lawsuits were made from the DNC ...
May it be 1 mill, which wasn't counted..
Still too less to win..
Joe won the keystates very small, and had 6 mill more votes ..
That's the crazy thing in the USA..
They could just vote in that 8 states ... And would be enough..
Because only AZ, GA, NV, NC, MI, OH, PA and WI are deciding...
The rest is already fixed..
Crazy... But still the law of the nation
But not in the 1000s, never ever in the 10000s
And Kamala lost with a margin of 120k
And Joe won with 80k
But ...
I'm still under shock about Fetterman ....
Are
Texas and Florida
They are mysterious ..
And how a Paxton can get away with that ...
Is even more crazy...
But.. My opinion of AG Valium never was high and never will be..

Face it. People in this country want to forever be in the Dark Ages because Jeebus and when everyone not a hetero white man knew their place.
Jesus said feed the hungry. Clothe the naked. Tend to the needy.
They wouldn't recognize Jesus in the flesh even if he flipped their tables.
Make It So...
