I guess all attorneys should say that their clients were simply sidestepping the laws. You know, a simple dance step. “Judge, he was just engaging in the “Electric Slide.”
Yes, I’m sure this will work well for Black and Brown people in front of judges (sarcasm). I’m so over the @NYT ignoring & minimizing tRump & the GOP’s actions!
“Wow! Who’s writing this #sh##t? Somebody who lives in Neverland? They are making Trump look like ‘he could walk down 5 th Ave and kill someone, and nobody would notice..’ Trump isn’t sidestepping the law, he’s advocating killing the law!” @nytimes.com @tribelaw.bsky.social @marcelias.bsky.social
Whenever I see a headline like this, my first thought is that the New York Times must have a very competent legal department. You can't get any news from a news outlet that's been litigated into bankruptcy.
This bill their trying so hard to pass has a clause in it giving Trump power over the courts. That's what these law breaking clowns thinks will save them. And they will be right if it passes.
Laws are only laws to those who can be held accountable by those laws.
Once… Presidents were held accountable. For example, Nixon. He broke laws… and was held accountable. He had to leave office, in shame. But, he had some.
Now, though criminals understand my 1st sentence. And, that’s a problem.
It's easier to commit a crime when you ditch the enforcers and place your own compliant people in the agencies that would investigate and prosecute, but you haven't committed a crime, yet.
No. Unconstitutional, illegal, and criminal are different things. Crimes must be violations of the criminal code. The only crime defined in the Constitution is treason.
The limited definition of treason is designed to prevent despots from punishing political enemies with capital punishment.
I can't stress this enough: we must call them directly. Until they recognize our voice and enjoy talking to us. Also, make sure to email them. Ask for impeachment.

There is no representative congressional branch of government because it is controlled by the President's Party. There are no checks and balances. The Republican congressional majority has abdicated its powers to the Executive Branch.
😡 #Trump and his whole administration lies and distorts information daily to fit their lie. #Trump has turned the White House into his version of a reality TV show in large part to feed his ego and to distract from his failures, lawlessness and crimes.

He is not expanding power as much as he is centralizing power to himself....you know like totalitarian Soviet Union and its command economy........that failed .
Reminds me of real estate listings using fluffy words for everything. The house flooded so they referred to it as "all new flooring." A dilapidated box becomes "potential with TLC and the right owner."
As far as I’m concerned it’s a crime when Trump breathes.
Wouldn’t you love to see the cocktail of drugs he must be on to keep him bloviating his treason and cruelty day by day?
Who knows? I’m sure he’s on some wild cocktail of drugs and you can always tell when either they aren’t working or he’s been overdosed because that’s when he’s at his worst in public.
the ink stained wretches cant be bothered or are too scared to call a spade a spade.
it's time for the lawyers to go fuck this abomination of an administration let the dogs loose on it.
Can’t say “committing crimes,” about Trump …that will get you a one way ticket to Sudan or El Salvador. Or will get you fired by one of his oligarch bros.
My dream: future blue ICE 'officers' waiting outside MAGA courtrooms to scoop up those miscreants. Rather than deport them, tho, Dems will detain them in schools where they will be required to learn to read and think critically before they can be released.
When "sidesteps" = "breaking" so if the average american decides to "sidestep" traffic laws then it's totally acceptable? Im a need a moment to wrap my head around that.
The NYT has become a dumpster fire of normalizing fascism. I mean, they have always been Israel's lapdog propagandist to the educated. Now they're just another trash media outlet pumping mind-numbing resistance-killing swill into the masses.

Please
They don’t realise that rebound corruption eats away at the fabric & morals of what society accepts and replicates from the bottom
Without the bonds of law & commonality, society fractures and implodes
NYT: Extraordinary expansion of Presidential powers
"SIDESTEPPING LAWS" MEANS "COMMITTING CRIMES."
THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT IT MEANS!
tRump's administration are obviously ballerinas.

Republicans have loopholes.

Until I see a reporter call him out to his face for lying, they can all go to hell
Funny how those who get so upset over "people only read headlines" never give anything but the headline.

In his quest for more power, Trump breaks laws, ignores courts
NYT needs to grow some backbone. Yes, he's litigious, but the best defense against a libel lawsuit is the truth.

I wonder if Musk got him on Ketamine too...
Toying with legislation
Playing fast and loose
Getting silly about following laws
Wacky shenanigans
Firing the investigators who are investigating you is a crime post facto in my book.
Did I use the post facto correctly??
That would mean actually reporting accurately and they aren’t journalists anymore.
This is good to know.
Everyone should use this.
'No, your honour, I didn't break any laws... I was merely sidestepping laws, you know, like 🍊 POTUS does. It's a thing now.'

Republicans are the problem. Republicans are doing this.
They are establishing precedents.
