This line of thinking would hold if this was a normal government; but this isn't a normal government. There are no guardrails and almost consequences for Trump anymore.

Nixon was a better man than Trump.

Anyone is…anyone except Hitler & Mussolini. Dump and Hisk are equally as despicable, no souls waste of space.

A fascist dictator doesn't care what people think.

V.P. Vance - FORGET THE LAW

Vance said, reference a Supreme Court ruling, "The chief justice has made his ruling. Now let him enforce it."

Trump/Vance plan on doing anything they want, illegal or not.

Nixon had a party that was willing to oust him. Trump has unified support.

What is politically perilous for Trump……what is the worst that happens to Trump….he is not going to be arrested…..or held to account by the Justices…it will be a full blown constitutional crisis

Public consensus is in favor of legal abortion. #SCROTUM didn't give a shit.

If they don't vote in #trumplard's favor now, he will hang them.

“OPINION: “If public consensus remains firm, a blatant defiance of the Supreme Court could be politically perilous for Trump.””

And he should look back on FDR administration.

oklahomacowboy.bsky.social•13 days ago

This is wishful thinking. trump is past the point at which he needs public support. He has all the power. Congress is unwilling to stand up to him by using the constitutional check provided to it. The next elections will see any viable candidates investigated, audited, detained and prosecuted.

I'll bet $100 the SC bends like Gumby to accommodate them

prisuniversal.bsky.social•13 days ago

I keep hearing about the Supreme Court as if is a political party all its own.

If the Supreme Court is strategising about how to manage Trump, you’ve already got problems.

Saying that, God bless & Godspeed

If Trump defies the Supreme Court, his base will cheer him on. The only time Trump will run into trouble is when moderate voters feel the pain from his policies.

thatmanglenn.bsky.social•13 days ago

Yeah. Not falling for this pipe dream optimism again anytime soon.

nicholas1987.bsky.social•13 days ago

This isn’t the 70s. Who’s going to stop him if he defies the court? He doesn’t care and neither do the republicans in congress.

hough-transform.bsky.social•13 days ago

Why would he have to defy the court? They're going to give him everything he asks for. And it will be the end of the Constitution.

kddrock.bsky.social•13 days ago

PUBLIC CONSENSUS? What about arrest and going to prison…the federal penitentiary, where he should be right now. There is no one able or willing to arrest this felon. The USA is OVER.

hypergraphic.bsky.social•13 days ago

Just like a dictator, Trump wants to shut down free speech!

jhmidsummerdream.bsky.social•12 days ago

He doesn’t care. Come on. He demonstrates this everyday.

alexis12356.bsky.social•12 days ago

Yeah and even thanks them in public for their assistance.

dachsy.bsky.social•13 days ago

The Supreme Court Judges, most of them do believe they are above the law.

I do not believe they would allow someone a dumb as 🍄 to overshadow them. Roberts gave him an inch but I do not think he will give him a mile.

knightss2.bsky.social•13 days ago

But I can't believe is that Trump actually still thinks he's intelligent. A deal maker when everybody around him and everybody in the whole world knows he's the dumbest f*** ever to run a country. The scary thing is the people who voted for him has to be dumber

jmcrookston.bsky.social•13 days ago

Appeal to historic precedent has I think completely totally and always worked to stop fascism. Good job.

lainey1.bsky.social•11 days ago

Nixon? Back in the days when republicans had integrity. Those days are over.

infinityloop.bsky.social•13 days ago

Trump should be in jail. The system doesn’t work and old men don’t put their pals in prison. Don’t mean everything is honky, man.

You guys are falling apart and on your own now. The Russians aren’t your fuckin’ friends - your friends were your friends - and still are

Steadfast & United

Hell, I doubt they’d even get all the Democrats to vote to convict at this point.

koryhartin.bsky.social•13 days ago

Nothing will stop MAGA. They have a plan. He will tho eventually encounter a force that will try to stop him… it’s not history, he doesn’t care or know about that! He knows not of morality or decorum or empathy for the American people… but THAT will be the force he’ll have to face!
