Truly lawless statement from the WH PressSec: "He is the executive of the executive branch & therefore he has the power to fire anyone within the executive branch that he wishes to." Nope. Civil servants have const due process rights. Can't be fired for political reasons or bc Trump feels like it. - ThreadSky

This is insane: White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt is making it clear that Donald Trump is not a president but a king.

He's gonna do it anyway and probably get away with it

you’re telling me the admin lacks a basic understanding of civil law?

Ahh… to be young & dumb at 27. Guess she missed those American history classes in high school and college.

...yeah, but, she's wearing a cross, so it's all Christian-y.

She almost couldn’t be less qualified for the job 🤦🏻

Ignore her. She’s an ignorant bitch just like his last ones. I would not cover her, refuse to go to her conferences, call her a dumb nasty liar at every opportunity. Pretty soon they will cancel all press conferences just like the last time.

We have our Republican Christian nationalists to thank for dumbing down education in our country over the past 20 years; she is obviously the product of that.

She has to keep lying for the lawlessness. He is not a King and will never be.

Patently false. But so far laws don’t apply to the Dear Leader.

renslaer.bsky.social•31 days ago

well, she’s stupid.

actualoccasions.bsky.social•31 days ago

they are literally just having to make shit up on the spot since no actual legal theory can justify what’s happening

Rules and norms only valid if they’re ENFORCED.

She's just another BIG KISS ASS

He is the "executive of the executive branch".

Trump believes he has the right not just to fire anyone he wants, but to fire AT anyone he wants.

Think I'm being hyperbolic?

May I remind you the hypothetical at SCOTUS where his lawyer said he would have immunity from prosecution even if he ordered Seal Team 6 to kill his political opponent.
