When are y’all gonna realize that THEY DONT GIVE A SHIT ABOUT THE RULE OF LAW!!!!!geez.

Rules for thee, but not for me is the hallmark of autocrats and domestic abusers everywhere.

How many divisions has Ryan Goodman? The law is what the power decides to enforce.

The rule of law only works if there is a mechanism for holding people to it.

I wish the Democrats would wake up, smell the coffee, and join reality. THERE IS NO RULE OF LAW WHEN THE SUPREME COURT GAVE BLANKET IMMUNITY FOR ANYTHING THE ORANGE CLOWN DOES.

What we are seeing is the digital equivalent of the burning of the Reichstag. Trump intends to create mass chaos & then declare martial law. He's a stupid sociopath & must rely on what has worked well in the past. In this case, that means reading from Hitler's script. I wish this were hyperbole.

If that’s the case, why isn’t anyone trying to stop him

ottawahawk.bsky.social•17 days ago

Why soften things like this with wishy-washy words like "seems to be"?

vincentpyrmont.bsky.social•17 days ago

This sounds like all the lawyers when Hitler took power.

Question:
How long before the stock market craters because there is no rule of law?
Public financial markets need government stability, and a reliable court system.
Currently, the US has neither.

Ya don't say.....

They know that but are trying to take to the Supreme Court hoping for a change. Supreme Court should send back to Congress.

In 1933 German left were fighting amongst themselves and unable to mount a successful opposition. LEARN.

So Bill, did your USAID check clear for this post?

charlessumner-rino.bsky.social•17 days ago

You can pretend all of your tax money is going to things you enjoy, like bombs falling on foreign children, while I pretend all of my tax money is going to feeding poor and desperate people across the world, such as what was happening with USAid.

Rule of law is a term no one ever explains to people and yet we expect them to gravitate to our positions. How about talking about everyone must be treated equally in the legal system or the rules of the road of the legal system. Anything but rule of law.

Hey Elon, I forgot my password, can you shoot me a text...in your spare time? Also can you check my balance to see if I can afford $800 for my lifesaving prescriptions that cost only $93 last month? Thanks for Making America (not so) Great.

We need just a few Republican GOPers to have a Conscience Attack, and say no to the illegal Bullshit, and jump on board for Impeachment.
We need HEROES not Criminals running the Country.

Read the Feb 6 NYT piece by David French. He makes the same point about “the rule of law” and the Supreme Court JVL has been making.

ladycross.bsky.social•17 days ago

We get it. It's been analyzed already. Now we need action, which has started.

gaia111.bsky.social•17 days ago

Musk doesn't care and he's not being held accountable...yet

realbenisons.bsky.social•17 days ago

Republicans in Congress are saying James Madison was very wrong about men and angels and necessary government

Trump's no angel

But Republicans are saying yes he is and can do as he pleases and it'll be fine

ravenna321.bsky.social•17 days ago

Yes, more people need to say no to this crap. Make them show you the paperwork and no, a note from Daddy isn't enough. Make them go to court at every turn. They at least seem to be holding.

chrisamy7.bsky.social•17 days ago

Yep we get it. Who has the balls to step in? The legislature sure doesn’t!

mrsdefarge.bsky.social•17 days ago

Call it what it is: Theft!

catcrone.bsky.social•17 days ago

Didn’t you get the memo? SCOTUS exempted the Trump presidency from the rule of law. Like taxes—laws are for the little people.
