Before whatever is about to happen happens: There will be a lot of reporting and commentary about executive orders. Much of that reporting, at least initially, will regurgitate what the White House *says* the orders do as opposed to what they can *actually* do based on the text and controlling law.

Have we not learned yet there is absolutely no such thing?
"Laws" are enforced against minorities, be they racial, political or otherwise. If we haven't learned anything else in the last four years, this is now painfully obvious.
What SCOTUS believes has no practical impact at all.
The constitution is just a gentleman's agreement and a handshake.
These cases will all go to DC courts to start, where they will get rejected and then the appeals will have to go through a lot of real judges before scotus.
Getting media to regurgitate whatever 💩 comes out of the orange insurrectionist mouth is the only thing Trump does well
Full of propaganda SHIT
Good joke about thelat we should all ask Karoline Leavitt:
"HEY, IS YOUR ASS JEALOUS OF THE SHIT THAT COMES OUT YOUR MOUTH?"
Last night, Trump admitted the election was hacked, and pointed the finger at Musk.
People have been shouting about this for the last two months, and the press ignored evidence and discredited those bringing it.
We can get a clear glimpse of truth from fiction.

This isn’t “uncharted territory,” Prof. Kreps. This is a planned burn.
Next up? 14th Amendment.

I still have yet to read it.
Trump is sending a clear message:
Loyalty is the law now.
If you commit a violent crime for Trump, it’s not illegal.
If you say or do anything disloyal or critical of Trump,
punishment will follow and the book will be thrown at you.
If the president tells you to do it, it’s not illegal.
If the president tells you not to do it, and you do it, it’s a crime.
You know you’re dealing with a tyrant when everyone is breathlessly, anxiously scrutinizing one man’s features for signs of his mood. Like weather, sunny? Stormy?
In ‘I, Claudius’ we see Caligula have his nephew killed for an irritating cough.
Trump’s mood in his life before the presidency was read by the many people within striking range by the color of his hat.
White was “snappish but not ‘rageous.”
Red was red alert.
It’s been red for years now.
Thx Putin!
But I *do* expect that on a practical level, writing and implementing the regulations to actually carry out these policies will be a nightmare and prove impossible, resulting in chaos, uncertainty, arbitrary action, and distress.
