He is trying to mind trick us, by declaring his fantasy of the USCorporation as a reality. If he says it 3 times, it's true. I mean corporations can buy things, so this USCorp can buy countries. And our only responsibility is to be cutthroat and money-bound.

Trump loves the courts when they favor him. Musk and Vance’s comments about the decisions should raise red flags in the government and Americans! They want no checks on executive power.

"JD" (or whatever name he's using this week) was saying this a year ago. I'm sure that it's one of the reasons that Trump picked him as his running mate.

claude-oneshot.bsky.social•89 days ago

Well, if you don't think the courts have authority, then there is no need for lawyers or Judges or courts, then no need for police or prisons.

davlip.bsky.social•89 days ago

There will be police and prisons. They just won’t answer to the courts and judges.

So the police become the decision makers, that will make for an interesting society.

I think people underestimate this little turd. He’s the guy that the billionaires and tech Bros really want installed and Trump’s cult of voters was the means to get there. His views on women and their place in society are disgusting. There is an evilness to him and a lack of empathy.

davlip.bsky.social•88 days ago

If he ignores the courts, and Congress fails to act (or maybe even if they do), I see only two alternatives: a popular uprising, or a military coup, neither of which is either likely or attractive.

blandpotato.bsky.social•88 days ago

They know exactly what they’re doing. They know the law. They also know that they can say whatever the fuck they want and their base will take it as gospel.

They are running a cult and are fully aware.
