It would be great for everyone at once to realize what a paper tiger Trump is with all these illegal EOs. If the FBI and the army is resisting him, why should anyone think he can push us all around? Fuck his pencil pushers, throw punches at him. He’s burying his own grave on the economy anyway.

They’re giving away the game somewhat by calling the EOs laws. Courts and military are not fooled.

I truly believe you owe the trans community an apology for this.

Failing quickly is typical of a house of cards built on lies. The sooner the better.

Why do they hate America?
Why do they want to burn it to the ground?

Relying on enough govt workers being terrified to lose their health insurance

The big news of the day was inflation ticking up. Trump is also 'frustrated' by the immigration arrest numbers; unapprised of the logistical difficulties of deporting 11 million people. Even to MAGAns, these EO stunts will look like tactics to deflect attention from his substantive promises.

The FBI, if it’s truly resisting, should immediately arrest Elon for literally stealing $80 million out of a New York bank. Last time I checked bank robbery was a federal offense.

The Wray and Werfel resignations set a precedent of capitulation for a lot of gov employees that’s just now starting to be overcome by resistance within some agencies.

TRUMP IS WEAK

I hate all these nihilistic doomers. He's weak. He can be defeated. He won because Biden voters stayed home. He has no popular mandate. Don't buy his bull shit. He is vulnerable. Consistent pressure is what is needed. Don't assume he's won when he hasn't.

I keep telling everyone this. THIS needs to be the resistances message. Without fail, every time he is backed into a corner, he wimps out.

The problem is everyone is afraid of this perceived power and preemptively capitulates

sneakys.bsky.social•10 days ago

He's a coward and weakling. He's entirely bluster. Call his bluff and he'll back down. He's done it time and again. We didn't believe his lies during the election; it's a hell of a time to start believing them now.

It would collapse if people stopped thinking they have this self-imposed authority that they don’t have. Legislation supersedes executive orders. And if the media would stop treating TCF like he’s just another politician with a platform.

Please, I'm so tired. Please stop equating bipolar disorder with politics. I already have 250 people on a Stigma Slinger list and I would very much like to stop feeling like I must...

Musk and Trump do not have authority to do what they're doing! What's happening is that everyone sees everyone else complying, and interprets it to mean that Musk and Trump's diktats are binding and irresistible. But if they're demonstrated not to be, they won't be. It's self-fulfilling, both ways.

Look, they are targeting federal employees, who understandably are reluctant to defy their boss, the president of the United States. That is a fast track to getting fired for cause, even if the legal justification is later proved correct. Bureaucrats are not rebels.

whstancil.bsky.social•10 days ago

Stripped of the veneer of absolute authority, Trump becomes just a president - vested with no constitutional authority to make or break law, bound by the Constitution and the US Code, and wielding only tiny legislative majorities.

Every word of yours that I read convinces me more and more that you're an illiterate 12yo using AI to write his posts.

We've had a lot of presidents before, and many were ineffectual. Some were impeached or resigned. We haven't put one in jail, but there's a first time for everything!
