It’s definitely what we’re seeing them do. They’re grabbing power, and fast, while br so very blind to the sad consequences for regular folks. A frenzied combo of greed, arrogance, and ignorance. And bigotry.

ALL Democrat politicians need to get on Local TV stations in every market/state, Every Day. Explain in simple terms, how this/that will impact THEM

Even I could say I told you so.

Let the record show you and your colleagues nailed it in July 2023.

Once again, let's apply the Obama test to these actions and ask everyone to take a moment to imagine the exploding heads of the right wing if Obama did anything even remotely close to this.

Frame that as an abject failure of modern “journalism” then.

Bluesky is largely populated by a certain type of person — hello friends — who are rightly alarmed by what’s happening.

But I wonder if we’re not asking the right questions, because I think a lot of the non-maga folks who voted Trump, think government is rotten to the core.

How do *they* see this?

They don’t care. They are being IV fed propaganda. The independants and people who never voted can find info.

He is essentially trying to remake America into Orban’s Hungary if not Putin’s Russia where all power rests in a single official that whether or not we call him a king is a king. He is trying to remake America into a dictatorship.

The GOP could stop all this tomorrow. Articles of impeachment could be drawn in hours. They stop all cabinet approvals immediately. He could be out of office in weeks. Vance could be put on a tight leash, and Musk could be fired immediately. Is there any integrity or honor left?

If only they were doughty.

ddrae.bsky.social•20 days ago

Yup they could have stopped it after the first impeachment.
The second impeachment. Jan 6……

What benefit would impeachment bring? President Vance? He’d do all the same things.

gripnoir.bsky.social•20 days ago

And get impeached also.

waterly.bsky.social•20 days ago

Huge benefit. It lets Pres. Vance know the congress and people of some ethical character on in charge. Its disrupts this coupe. He will buckle under as he dorsn’t want to be removed, and it brings back some order and constitutional balance. Or you could continue to wring your hands…

Good luck getting an actual impeachment vote on the floor, let alone passed and onto a trial.

Centralize control but not accountability. He's got these teams taking action under the color of his authority and then the White House claims they weren't involved when it goes sideways.
