Not sure what disturbs me more, the courts giving trump’s fascist admin so much obfuscation, to avoid following it’s directive, shhh…if we make it optional then no one will no they aren’t following the law… and the real cost…to people, suffering pain, death, straight up diabolical cruelty.
And once again the reminder that the Executive branch is supposed to be the enforcement arm of the Judicial branch. If the Executive decides to ignore the courts, nothing happens.
Thanks. The courts do have some sort of force to arrest people who fail to comply. I don't know exactly what it is or how it works, but I'm not going to despair in advance in the expectation that everything will fail.
Sure, and it was in this this audio-only version, or you can even skim the transcript at the same link (about 80% through the episode) if you’re avoiding an eyeful/earful:
Are you familiar with anti-cultists? These ideologues push citizens to engage in criminal activities and spread false information to undermine authorities. You can discover more about the operations of a global terrorist network of anti-cultists in the documentary "The Impact"
And if he dosent unfreeze the 2$ billion in frozen aid funds, what is the penalty? Another slap on the hand or a big fat icecream cone? Because we can't hold him accountable...right? Put his ass in jail! Right where we would go if we defied the courts!!!
There SHOuLD be plans in place at the SCOTUS level to send the Federal Marshalls out to force compliance or arrest Musk and probably the president. When it doesn’t happen, the country will know right where they are at. Probably not going to be good. Js
Not sure. Definitely something to find out about. We may need them sooner than later. I thought they were the ultimate power in the land and that is why this is already a constitutional crisis even tho nobody is wiling to call a spade a spade
it is always important to remember that the people who truly hold power in this country are US. how do you think women got the right to vote? how did the civil rights act got passed? how did the vietnam war end? we *made* them do it. we are not powerless to them. they are powerless to us
they control you with your fear and your sadness and that is how true authoritarianism takes hold. but the fact is people are already fighting and it is working. republicans are already feeling pressure. we are already scaring them. and its only just begun. it isnt over until we say it is
Exactly, does Bondi send marshals to the oval office? What would the secret service do? Do these Americans, who also swore an oath to the constitution, cave in to his threats & morph into loyalists or stand up and do their job?
Exactly! Everything hangs in the balance and when you think about it that way it’s kind of terrifying cuz I think we all know what will happen. But what then? I want SCOTUS to step up and for the Marshalls to do what they need to do.
Vance is compromised
Trump is definitely openly compromised
Musk is also a Russian asset or power devoured megolomaniac
So many Senators are compromised
He’s already not abiding by the Constitution by gutting all these government agencies via EO and not going through Congress. He didn’t even forfeit his Presidency when Biden won in 2020. He’s not forfeiting anything.
Eventually, when the billionaire oligarchy and its sycophants in power feel too restricted in their full destruction of human, civil and worker rights and of the finite and governing ecosystem, they will, probably much sooner rather than later now, will declare martial law or will impose it. Revolt.
Judges are on the ballot in Pennsylvania in 2025. Campaigns are working NOW. If you want to make a difference, please reach out about judicial campaigns you can support with time, treasure, or/and talent—we need all three!
When Trump initiated last Estate tax cut, I found the number of millionaires/billionaires at each level of taxable estate, multiplied that by their WELFARE cut. Govt taxable revenue shrank by over $2T.
DO THE MATH!!!
Oppose welfare for the wealthiest!!! This is CRITICAL!!!
Does anyone think that Trump will comply? Dream on. Soon all uncooperative judges will be tamed by Trumpist thuggery. As will the entire American population!
The Arian mafia has taken over while the nation watches and sighs.
America is being raped by a rapist president!

Trump/Vance plan on doing anything they want, illegal or not.
Vance said, reference a Supreme Court ruling, "The chief justice has made his ruling. Now let him enforce it."

Not after a dozen infractions. Musk is a citizen, treat him as one.

Who’s left? Chuck Grassley?
