Another lawsuit.

mrmike59.bsky.social•27 days ago

then prosecute for it. no? then it's legal

justjaneen.bsky.social•27 days ago

Who is going to stop him?

roguegrunt.bsky.social•27 days ago

Not Congressional Democrats, apparently. Bare minimum resistance from them to look good for the cameras.

joled16.bsky.social•27 days ago

Wimps have no power anymore.

micahbergdale.bsky.social•27 days ago

At this point only the Supreme Court can stop him.

dunlike.bsky.social•27 days ago

Just another example of the corruption of the American justice system.

heavymetalmike.bsky.social•27 days ago

Autoritarian, wrong and totally corrupt.. add stupid and you describe Trump

comfortwoods.bsky.social•27 days ago

Republicans don’t care. They won’t be in favor forever or for long. Then it will be Dems turn. Parallel behavior. Give back as good as you got.

USA 2025 💩⚫️

And nobody will stop him. He can do anything - shoot someone on 5th Avenue and the Supreme Court will say it’s allowed. We are already in an authoritarian government and we need to find the leadership that will lead us out of it

preciouslarue.bsky.social•27 days ago

Yes. We knew it was going to happen. There's nothing to stop him.

Welcome to trump's America. It will get worse. Much worse.

nancynina.bsky.social•27 days ago

How is this asshole allowed to get away with this?

pauldoroshenko.com•27 days ago

Of course he did.

bf345.bsky.social•23 days ago

Stop the purging, stop a-political civil service employee ultimatums - resign or be fired, stop the destabilization of our essential security infrastructure across the federal government, stop breaking the law.
Another emergency court to halt these actions is needed.

Authoritarian, wrong and totally corrupt pretty much describes Trump and the whole GOP.

amcgrath815.bsky.social•27 days ago

Impeachment, please

ubuntu4all.bsky.social•27 days ago

The word illegal doesn’t carry the same definition anymore. Neither does corrupt or wrong or….it’s all changed. When the rule of law is turned upside down it’s terrifying.

ianxz.bsky.social•27 days ago

"Illegal" has become such an empty word (unless you are talking about immigrants).

What meaning does it have, with no one to enforce laws, and prosecute crimes?

Makes for barely a conversation piece.

ibipelican.bsky.social•27 days ago

Hope they sue!

susanyork.bsky.social•27 days ago

So who is going to do something about it?

joled16.bsky.social•27 days ago

Our only hope for "law and order" is a GENUINELY patriotic military.
Unfortunately, it is now being run by an alcoholic Trump sycophant.

oreomarie.bsky.social•27 days ago

Dems just talk about. Nothing will be done.

perpelxity.bsky.social•27 days ago

I hope theres at least one patriot amongst them who was brave enough to walk out the door with all the evidence and make it public.

jenkers.bsky.social•27 days ago

I thought SCOTUS ruled that if Trump does it, it's not illegal. 🤷🏻‍♀️

ginkgogreen.bsky.social•27 days ago

Once a crook always a crook.

jordo2323.bsky.social•27 days ago

But what's going to happen is that this Sunday, Kristin Welker's going to ask some sycophant congressman about it and they'll lie to her and she'll keep getting paid and nothing matters anymore.

studentsdemocracy.bsky.social•27 days ago

WHAT IS "ILLEGAL" ?

when DOJ is OWNED
when SCOTUS is OWNED

"warns radicals that FUHRER ALONE decides"

steelers3.bsky.social•27 days ago

They voted for this 🍊🤡!!!!!

fionalaidler.bsky.social•27 days ago

Dealing with the DOJ is official, so immunity. Also, he doesn’t give a crap.

joled16.bsky.social•27 days ago

Ok! But what can be done about the illegal decision to fire civil servants?
At this point, with the "rule of law" turned on its head, the only way out that I see is that our maniacal "messiah" has a fatal illness or that our military replaces him with a true law and order government!

level90.bsky.social•26 days ago

The US system of justice only functioned while honourable people worked in it. Now that Republicans hold all levers that system is now just an illusion.
