The longer he gets away with this stuff, the harder it will be to stop it. Someone or Someones has to stop this NOW!

Hitler took 53 days. Trump has taken only 31 to declare himself a dictator! Rest in peace American Democracy...

It’s a coup and we all know it. Do the people need to step up or will Congress stop failing the American people for once?!

reply

marionicolais.bsky.social•79 days ago

Congress under GOP leadership has already failed.

It is up to:

(1) Courts to delay and stop

(2) All of its to help put Dems back in a position of power in 2026 elections. And that starts NOW.

I’m afraid it will be too late if we keep waiting for this or that

Only thing is that assumes we make it to 2026 and have elections. We are in trouble of making it to Spring at this point.

Uh, hello. Trump has been posturing to be a full-blown dictator since day one.

What's missing? Military suppression of protests, declaration of martial law, assassinations of political rivals, elimination of the sick/elderly and proclamation of his title as dictator.

And who can stop it?

John Roberts not standing up for Justice speaks volumes about how he's been absolutely emasculated. Our pathetic SCOTUS can't stand up for themselves now, and won't have the power to do it later after he's subsumed it.

I would agree that that is “full-blown dictator stuff”.

So now DOJ lawyers, who have obligations about candor to the court over what the law actually is, has to take the position that whatever the president (who notoriously makes false claims and daily demonstrates misunderstanding about the law) says is the formal legal position of the USA.

All hail the king, bow before his greatness. Like Moses parting the Red Sea, he shall widen the income chasm, creating incredible wealth for the elitists while plunging the masses into despair.

The repugnants in congress are saying, forget voters losing their jobs, I’m sticking with the ORANGE CLOWN, putin’s puppet, until the republicans in Congress push back and do the right thing, they will lose their jobs, I can always HOPE !!!

At what point will there be impeachment requests ? It doesn't matter if the Dems are in the minority. It sets a mark. Reps would have impeached every single day if Biden did something like this

reply

mbleroy1999.bsky.social•78 days ago

That would require Roberts to have a spine, which he has already proven several times he doesn’t have.

reply

mraik.bsky.social•79 days ago

Problem with this rational. The current court and MAGA believe that this was a court law in which the court only has the ability to interpret law and not make it. However the ruling was an interpretation of what the court felt was the constitutional authority of the judicial branch.

As much as I want this to be true & imagine it is, the Huffington Post is not a good source. They're a DNC blow horn of often untrue, DNC propaganda. Most MSM is. You need to watch indie news like Double Down News & DemocracyNOW if you want facts. Noam Chomsky is THE choice for history & philosophy.

So, who the hell is dumb enough to act surprised that Trump is doing the King/Dictator/God thing. He repeatedly told you what he was going to do, but lied even at that. Whatever. You wanted Trump. You got Trump. Hail, Drmpf. Destroyer of The United States of America. Oh, well. Nothing lasts.

Orange Cheeto is taking the “I came in like a wrecking ball” approach to the presidency. Our government must stop him, or we cease to exists as a true democracy. Our citizens, fate & History deserve so much better than to be apart of his twisted vision & legacy. A Greatest Generation II must rise!

It's bullshit and we all know it. He can pretend as long as he wants. Eventually he/they will have to face the people and that will not be pretty. I sense some violence may occur.

I think that is the one thing we need to avoid. It will allow him to call for Martial Law. Then all is over. His J6 friends will help to push even peaceful protests into chaos.

VP Vance: To quote President Jackson. "They have made their ruling, now lets see them enforce it."

I still firmly believe Biden made a mistake by not drastically and immediately breaking the law to force the country into realizing just how BAD the immunity ruling was.
