Hind sight is 20/20. Pay attention. The man is diabolical. His followers want to burn it all down. Dictatorship is not a plausible solution. "National CEO" is not a solution; it is the problem we need to adamantly avoid at all costs! Don't buy in. Project 2025 is in action. RESIST!
Please, please, PLEASE analyze and talk about the impact of the revocation of Chevron deference. Because of this, no agency can issue new policies/guidelines/standards without going through the courts. Folks are missing this powerful irony. PLEASE ADDRESS THIS!!!!!!!!!!
They had 𝘵𝘸𝘰 chances! 🤷
If there's any regrets amongst the shambling zombie corpse of the once proud party of Lincoln, they're hiding it 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 well! 😉
In Germany parties that advocate the overthrow of the democratically elected government and that advocate violating the constitution are illegal. When democracies tolerate fascists they often end up succumbing to fascists. And here we are.
i remember thinking often during Biden's term how our political/legal system might be fundamentally incapable of holding Trump accountable--he'd exploit all the legal mechanisms to play for time and have the Court tip in his favor at every key juncture. sure enough--he got away with ALL OF IT.
Biden could have appointed Sally Yates as AG, and trump would be in jail. Everyone knew even then that Yates was a tiger, and Garland a wet noodle, but he appointed Garland anyway.
yeah, i am too busy over hear helping my clients, loved ones and community survive this shit he could have prevented had he actually done a job to be too concerned abt some privileged lazy yt man's comfort
Merrick the Meek notwithstanding, having the classified docs case randomly assigned to Cannon is right up there as the biggest break Trump got. nailing him for absconding to FL with prized secrets and storing the bankers boxes in the shitter should have been like tapping in a 2 inch putt. and yet…
The cases didn't even get to court until the third year of Biden's term, apparently because DOJ just takes *that long* to get out of its own way. Compare to how long it took to indict Luigi Mangione.
A system that takes that long to indict for crimes that happened on live TV is not fit for purpose.
it’s an awful feeling to watch a car careen toward a cliff do four straight years, with ample opportunity to change course, and then watch as the driver is just like, fuck it, we’re going over
I will take that statement and send it right back at the ignorant Republicans who voted for their own special interest groups. I will never understand why any marginalized Republican voted for the oppressor in the first place. It is a special kind of stupid.
Yes but the willful ignorance of 49%of the country is at play. Eventually those people who are willfully ignorant will also feel the punch of the republicans they will suffer with us. That’s the only good thing about this.
Not 49% of the country. 49% of the 64% of eligible adults whose votes were counted. The people who voted for Trump make no more than 32% of eligible voters. They are a distinct minority of the country.
Thank you for the update of what I believed mistaken info I thought I saw on t.v after election what you say lines up with other bits and pieces I pick up on tv. The minority party republicans seem to always rule. When will democrats learn, need to be stronger and cleaver than republicans.
But are the people who voted him into office even tracking what he's doing? Maybe when the 90 day federal agency shutdown contrributes to the spread of bird flu and eggs become even more expensive...
Dems - stop reacting after the fact - and start acting!!!
Take proactive actions to prevent this admin s**t from happening! Start impeachment; you fire someone in his admin; you mandate something he must respond to—-!!!
The second time the dog managed to catch the car, it already had learned to drive and took it across the whole state, to leave it broken in a ditch with a turd on the driver seat.
And why it's illegal for them to hold any office in the US (including the presidency). We literally have an amendment to the constitution to prevent this exact scenario.
It will take the police and the military to have the bravery to tell him no. It is time for a freeze. No more executive orders and it is time to revote. This is not how a democracy operates. Take charge,Congress. Leadership connotes doing something to stop a dictator. He deserves jail time!
Time to enact it. We don't want an alternative to democracy. My country wants freedom, the pursuit of happiness and not some GD dictator who we cannot stand to even look at let alone listen to his drivel. He is disgusting! Don't play into his hands. His actions are not legal.
Thank feckless Merrick Garland and Biden. They chose decorum and bipartisanship over democracy. Spare me with the blaming voters shit. Trump should’ve never even been on the ballot.
You don't blame voters? Half your country voted for the guy that organized a coup 5 years ago and you did not manifest, you did not fight for your democracy. You deserve what is coming, all of you. Seeing you with disgust from Europe. You should be on the streets non stop since the election.
I don’t blame voters because we don’t have any real power. Neither party has listened to working class people for decades now. I am a working class dude. I totally get the disillusion that voters are going through. Most Americans don’t pay attention to politics and are trying to get by.
Especially when those people are actual convicted criminals, narcissists, incoherent, cruel and a lifelong grifter with no sign whatsoever of a moral compass. Yeah. 🙄😒😵💫
But still the problem is the democrats waited sooooo long to do anything that everyone just moved on and forgot about it. Even the GOP was against Jan 6 right after it happened but Trump had a long time to build back support.
Elon’s money bought votes in key districts in swing states. Old fashioned corruption prevailed. $250 million buys off a lot of ordinary corrupt politicians. Remember: they bought 2 Supreme Court justices with vacations, an RV and a house. You’d be surprised how little it takes to buy someone.
Yeah, some democracies say right in their constitution that if you swear to uphold the constitution and then try a coup, you’re barred from office. Wish we had a provision like that.
In case it wasn’t clear to everyone, my post was sarcastic. The U.S. Constitution says explicitly that if an officeholder takes an oath to support the Constitution and then engages in insurrection, they’re barred from office. Supreme Court refused to enforce it. That’s why Trump could run.
Oh I got you, but if it’s not applied what good is the paper it’s written on for. And so democracies cease to exist. I sure hope for everybody’s sake that it’s not too late, yet.
Unfortunately we spent the last four years worrying about optics and fairness towards the same people who do not care about fairness. We should’ve been spending that time prosecuting them. But, we didn’t. We checked out for four years. Now we’ve lost the nation. Oh well.
You need 3.5% of the population to create an issue
To do that you need clear values that the majority of Americans want and can organize around.

Stephen Miller just admitted on CNN that the Trump administration will be purging US government because the majority of its employees are left leaning. Of course Congress and the media are acting like it’s just another Tuesday.
We need the diverse policies that support ALL of the people. By definition, that describes Democrats. Republicans have been privileged for long enough. Ironically, they will suffer as much as the other party. It is a fire sale and it is all burning. Stop peeing on the fire. It's not effective.

But the John Roberts court had other plans.

American people: no no, let him cook
Generally avoidable things SHOULD BE AVOIDED!
Oh dear...

I also urged the Ds not to nominate the VP.
Oh, well.
United States: Please purchase 1 Trump coin to proceed...

No 14th/Sec 3, despite insurrection.
What is “leadership” DOING?
Meanwhile, did you know the company responsible for the maintenance and SECURITYof nearly
ALL our election equipment, is partners with Elon Musk?
Yeah. Me either.
It gets so much worse. 👇🏽

America - “Third time lucky?”
But we did... We are all complicit.
Congress refuses to assert its power.
Congress needs to act
Pressure needs to be put on Congress
To do that you need clear values that the majority of Americans want and can organize around.
