This is a stup*d comparison. The POTUS didn't take the Statue of Liberty home and plant it in his garden after he finished his term. It was a gift to ALL of us, and one that keeps giving to our entire country.

And he is not above the law!

Thank you for sharing this. It is the truth.

warduckus.bsky.social•18 days ago

This is also entirely different, the French and United States governments were already deeply intertwined at the time. Our military is wholly organized by the French system, obviously it has changed massively since then. They also came to our defense during every conflict since US inception.

warduckus.bsky.social•18 days ago

MOST importantly, this was not gifted to a single US person. The French gift was given to the entirety of the United States and, at the time, the idea, of the United States.

Congress has relinquished their role as a check on the executive branch. America is no longer a republic.

Why would the GOP stop their cult leader?

There is no comparison; even if there is one, the law of the land doesn't matter anymore. They are puppets in the hands of their master, they would do what the master wants. This is America, now. Remember how they were losing their mind over Hunter Biden, now no one is talking. They are taking B.

Trump will push his Trojan Horse Air Palace toward congressional approval. The Republicans have the votes if none break ranks. Do we think any Republicans will go against their king?

michaelrhuff.bsky.social•18 days ago

The statue was for all of America, thanking us for openly accepting immigrants. The plane is only for Trump!

mrwilliams48.bsky.social•18 days ago

They should not approve.

The Statue of Liberty is a gift to the United States.

That plane is a gift to FOTUS, who will lend it to the U.S. while he is president.

BIG DIFFERENCE.

bluebird4us.bsky.social•18 days ago

Exactly!

jendwd.bsky.social•18 days ago

Exactly...there is absolutely NO comparison....

Read it? They are using it in the WH bathrooms, but, no, they haven’t read it. It’s being flushed.

Your constitution is rag. Not worth the paper it’s written on. Watching your Furher trample all over it daily; prove me wrong!!

crazy4stamps.bsky.social•18 days ago

The Supreme Court is considered part of the federal government. It is the highest court in the United States and is part of the federal judiciary
So why wasn't Thomas held accountable for his gifts

bluebird4us.bsky.social•18 days ago

Very good question.

The plane will cost America millions to clean and revamp as a presidential plane. Who pays for that? Sick and disabled Americans who had Medicaid stolen from them by Republicans

President Rutherford B. Hayes did NOT accept the statue of liberty as a personal gift to himself and did not put it in his own presidential museum. The Statue of Liberty was a gift to the people, not to the president.

rayhayes215.bsky.social•18 days ago

We can read it over and over again but none of the people needed to nail him for this will. Not to mention Trump himself has never read it or cares.

catluvr103.bsky.social•18 days ago

I think by this time, we all realize Trump doesn't give a damn about the Constitution.

tahoemarta.bsky.social•18 days ago

It’s not a gift… It’s a grift 🤬

Isn't there recourse for violations of the oath of office, like ... impeachment? Jail and removal from office?

richlbi.bsky.social•18 days ago

In 1877, Congress followed the Constitution by voting to accept the Statue of Liberty. The cowardly MAGA Congress just follows an ego headed selfish convicted criminal.

bluebird4us.bsky.social•18 days ago

Exactly! I have heard some speak out against it but they are so afraid of being primaried, I don't trust them to do the right thing.

ddnmia.bsky.social•18 days ago

Congress will not even bring it to a vote. Congress does nothing but rubber stamp every trump edict and whim. They are not a check on his power, they are just a bunch of cheerleaders and court jesters.
