Kind of shocking that most of the media in the US - and the UK - don’t seem to have spotted what is going on, or at least aren’t taking it seriously.

To preserve democracy our Founders set up 3 separate branches of government – the Executive, the Legislature & the Judiciary.
Two are already corrupted. The last pillar standing is the Judiciary - the rule of Law. Trump is now intent on rendering it powerless so that he will have unfettered power

Indeed…

We can look back to the European demagogue political policies of the 1930s for much of what Trump, Vance, Bannon et al recommend today.

The BBC’s framing: ‘Trump Pushes Ahead Judicial Reforms’

BBC News is on the same side. It's been obvious for years but has accelerated after the presidential election.

I think they think it's too complicated to explain. When Boris did it most people didn't understand

Far too many people & organisations seem to be in thrall to Trump & his MAGA cult.

He is manufacturing the crisis that enables him to "legitimately" take emergency powers, and he's demolishing the infrastructure that's designed to stop him doing that along the way

The majority of our mainstream media are more than turning the other cheek: they’re complicit now. Look at who owns/runs them. Follow the £££$$$. One of the first steps in controlling a nation is controlling the media, after all.

We can only hope that the U.K. security services are doing emergency risk planning to protect us when Trump inevitably turns on us.

The billionaire-owned mass media is either afraid of the Rapist-in-Chief, or actively agrees with him.

jaimeebullock.bsky.social•89 days ago

Unfortunately our US media is afraid of a felon and has decided to convince us that everything is normal

My question is how far Americans will let this go.

Complicit.

Boiled frog/ "they wouldn't let it happen"/ "they're all the same" syndrome ...

J D Vance’s remarks about Greenland yesterday were deeply shocking. They are a load of thugs.

Trump's next move will be to simply ignore whatever the courts rule (including the supreme court).

We have state tv now

Owned by Murdochs and SINclaire and other bought and paid for people rooting on project 2025

Turn them off
Tune them out
Support public news

Or they're simply choosing to ignore it for reasons best known to themselves.

beantrees.bsky.social•89 days ago

Easier than trying to deal with it.

It's scary. The man is unhinged and he's amassing unfettered power with no one willing to stop him. This is not going to end well. Revolution in the US and we'll all be drawn in as countries are forced to take sides.

Is Keir -Special Relationship- Starmer still ignoring this? And if it all kicks off over there, whose side will he be on?

rossco6429.bsky.social•89 days ago

He'll abstain, it's his default position

uncertainworld.bsky.social•89 days ago

Deeply depressing that the second question has to be asked.
