When a judge stops the president from doing something illegal, that’s not a “threat to democracy,” that’s a check on the president’s power. That's the whole damn point.

If you’re looking for alternatives to traditional media I hope you’ll check out my free daily newsletter, Letters from God: https://www.thegodpodcast.com
Supporters of the guy who first became president in 2016 despite losing the vote of the people by 2.8 million have no business talking about democracy.
Yes. But there he goes with his Napoleon quote. I leaned we have no recourse! Not legal one. The congress won’t hold him accountable and he can’t be jailed for contempt of court. If the court targets a private citizen like Musk, Trump would bail him out immediately. They are above the law?!!
When authoritarianism threatens to take over, it is ultimately the people who push it back.
But we do have some stronger safeguards than many countries.
This encouraged & motivated me. https://www.readthedetox.com/p/trump-can-be-stopped
When the judges can not manage the sheer number of presidential cases - is that a threat to democracy ? And if his buddy has access to critical administrative databases ?
If required, he will start a war - occupy new soil to America such as Greenland - wait and see. He will call it 'I freed Greenland' and now I give them the right to vote for joining the US (and they will in a rigged election). A 'popular' move to unite the country. Wealth!
Maybe, but I have faith in our Judicial Branch to do the right thing as it is laid out in our Constitution and Laws. If I don’t have faith or hope, I might as well be dead.
The "Ermächtigungsgesetz vom 24. März 1933" - a law that gave the German Cabinet – most importantly, the Chancellor – the power to make and enforce laws without the involvement of the Reichstag (parliament).
Just curious god, why don't you send these yahoos in the Republican party to where they belong. As I understand it, your book says the sins they are guilty of will cause them to burn in hell ..so let's get to it!
The threat to democracy is when the “president,” (whichever one you want) decides he doesn’t need to listen to said judge. The threat to democracy is a non-elected foreign citizen having ANY power over the government. The threat to democracy is silencing anyone who dissents or fact checks.
Since the congress refuses to step up & DO THE JOB THEY WERE ELECTED TO DO, America needs the judicial branch to step up & HOLD THE LINE AGAINST THIS TYRANT.
Kid was home from school today & I was helping him with US civics. Congratulations kiddo, you now know more about the “checks and balances” in our government than the current squatter in the White House.
"squatter in the White House" gave me a much needed google-snort today. Thank you for that, some days are harder than others out here in the wasteland of healthcare. Knowing it's only gunna get worse is hard on the heart and soul ❤️🩹
A little laugh always helps, thank you sister 💙⚕️🇺🇸💪🏼

Yes, but . .
Some are too daft to realize that is the point, due to their BIAS overriding any critical thinking completely !
Exactly! Judicial checks are a fundamental part of our system to prevent any one branch from overstepping. It’s not a threat to democracy,it’s democracy working as it should.
They say some people “slept through civics/history class” but I think many of them did pay attention but just didn’t care because their prejudices were more important to them than knowledge and thought ever were.
Stopping this isn't the same has prosecuting him for doing something illegal. SCOTUS already ruled on this. Stopping is stopping. But will he stop or ignore court orders?
But what happens when the president ignores the court’s ruling? The Supreme Court are responsible for allowing this man to get away with all of these crimes he is committing while he is president that’s why all those 2025 people are able to take advantage of our government
Undoubtedly many of them did not. Does not change the fact that they voted for him. It may not have been their intent, but you know what they say about good intentions…
I get that. But the people who voted for him did so despite his very clear desire to expand executive power to autocratic levels. So that is what they voted for.
Regardless of what those who voted for him wanted.
He doesn't legally have the powers he is attempting to exercise (not to say he hasn't got way too much power legally).
So it's really up to those charged with upholding the law. Do they do so or not?
The problem is that Trump does not know this and seeks revenge. Trump is too stupid to know that there are limits to his power and most of all serious limitations to his intellect.
It’s actually more than that. They know their hateful racist policies can’t win anymore in a democracy of a majority of good people. A dictatorship
led by a horrible man is their only hope of staying in power.
And when the president simply ignores it because his bought and paid for “supreme” court has granted him emperor status, there’s exactly squat anybody can do about it. Full stop. Period.
The Supreme Court told him he was untouchable, someone drag them out here cause they are just as responsible for the chaos, actually they are more responsible, all the judges who voted for him to have this power should be held responsible and charged for the coup along with everyone

Hey God,
So I got this idea that if we were to use this mass communication source to unify over common ground with MAGA such as securing our vote, we could take our citizens back instead of writing them off. https://electionguard.vote
They know. You don’t graduate from Yale Law School without knowing this. They’re actively trying to overthrow the system. It’s not being said enough, especially by the #sanewashing #mainstreammedia B
We call upon our elected representatives to stand with us and to insist upon adherence to the rule of law and the legal processes and procedures that ensure orderly change.Trump cannot choose which law it will follow or ignore.These are not political issues. These are rules of Law!!
“If the president is able to defy or ignore court orders against him, then the executive branch would be effectively free of legal constraints on its actions — including those of the Constitution,” law professor Ilya Somin explains. 👇
“It could violate constitutional rights, usurp the authority of Congress, and more. In that scenario, we would no longer have a constitutionally constrained federal government, except perhaps in name only.”
Yes but you can't say NO to people with money because they will likely do one of two things
1. Offer you a check with multiple zeros.
Or if you refuse the bribe.
2. Throw a horrendous tantrum that involves hurting as many innocent people as possible.
3. Totally destroy a once great nation.
What good is it for US defence forces & FBI & CIA & other govt officials to swear to support & defend the Constitution against all enemies foreign & domestic if they are not going to follow through with their oath /promise. Why bother? Oh it might be OK?!? Wait & see.
Exactly! Yes, it's a big challenge. Unprecedented. But it's their constitutional duty. And look at the alternative if they don't.
It will be a big mess. Not just arresting all those complicit, but also maga. Proud boys. They'll revolt. And those who do, will have to be arrested as well.
seems agent orange's "oath" to the constitution was questionable during his 1st administration and even more so now (he didn't even put his damn hand on the bible during his inauguration)
All judges do is ensure that people, including politicians, comply with the laws enacted by previous generations of democratically elected politicians, hopefully in less radical times.
It’s like none of these people ever played Rock/Paper/Scissors. There’s always SOMEONE who is supposed to keep you from running off and destroying it all.
JD Vance thinks that America needs a dictator or as his buddy Curtis yarvin calls it a national CEO. This has been the stated goals from people like Kurtis yarvin since 2012. https://youtu.be/VeVhHNSe9Ks?si=UbXeJ33kOp51XmZS
Even in ruZZia there’s ‘Courts’ and ‘judges’ playing their role. In no time the USA will be the same. $trumpf and #Skum are right now in Saudi Arabia to sell (remember all those stolen data?) the USA, to carve up Ukraine between them and after that Europe.
That’s the whole damned thing.
The powers of one branch shall not encroach into those of another. That was the deal, and it's time the Legislative and Judicial start glaring the buffoon back into his box.
If you’re hearing this solely online, could be bots, or just regular rage bait. I imagine the “people” who were saying Harris had her turn for 4 years would be the same “people” who don’t grasp the concept of the 3 branches of government.
There isn't a bunch of citizens saying Trump should be able to do whatever he wants.
There IS a bunch of people who have been brainwashed into think Elon Musk is rooting out "waste and fraud" but TRUTH is winning the day and Elon Simps and Elon Bots are refuted now.
Two Mob Bosses working to get Ukraine to sign over their mineral rights! The world is getting smaller & minerals is what all countries need. Their solution is just make a deal with Ukraine that they can't refuse. European governments better work together or your next! https://youtu.be/cPZpp4eW4jg?si=SK1YHsXx9C0064xJ
Yes God and the 3 branches - legislative executive and judicial having checks to balance was planned to protect us. You can relate - having a holy trinity as your basis in some faiths 🙏
No one can imagine the suffering we are experiencing in Al Mawasi 😞 We live in a very cold tent and this year is the worst winter. My children are freezing in this cold. 💔💔You are the sole breadwinner and support for my children Every small donation helps. Please share and donate🙏🙏
I have a problem that my boss and the people I work for do pretty much have critical thinking skills yet they still believe crap. That’s the problem. Even intelligent people fall for this shit.
It’s almost as if none of these people have even heard of the Declaration of Independence. It’s a pretty good document. I’d suggest more people read it.
This eerily reminded me of my late Aunt’s words wherein as RTC Judge presiding over the Lino Brocka, et al case, in 1985 handed down a judicial ruling against the late Phil. Pres. Ferdinand Marcos Sr.’s administration & under Martial Law. We need brave judges who stands by our Constitution & laws.
I think most of those who elected Orange Michelin Man are missing the point.
If laws don't apply to GOV, they won't apply to the (coming) GOV which they will hate, either...
Agreed. Although I do agree with some of his executive orders, the way that he is using some of his E.Os bypass the system that was set by the constitution fully giving federal judges the right to strike the E.Os down.
Well if they’re repugnant or magats, there’s a chance they’re anti-vaxxers and a large percentage will die if there’s another epidemic so that’s one possible silver lining to this undemocratic cloud. 😏
"Illegal" has a meaning. Unlawful, against the law, not sanctioned by official rules...what more do we need...hey maybe there's a SCOTUS position in this???
Exactly. It's only a threat to the lawless & hateful. Don't forget, our president is an adjudicated FELON for fruad & has been using the law to steal from contractors & the gullible for years.
Resistance isn't futile.
Revolution is necessary.

You are wise, oh great creator of BlueSky posts, and universes, chocolate and stuff.
Don’t tell me this is the third constitutional presidency. Keep doing your jobs judges, don’t let the oligarchs bulldoze you. Thank you!
I dare you.

Just in different ways 👀
They know.

But I'm not entirely sure everyone who voted for him understood the repercussions.
What happens next is what's important.
Because, unlike a US president, there are no legal checks on an absolute monarch.
If Americans fail to ensure those checks aren't enforced that's on them.
He doesn't legally have the powers he is attempting to exercise (not to say he hasn't got way too much power legally).
So it's really up to those charged with upholding the law. Do they do so or not?
led by a horrible man is their only hope of staying in power.

Doing what he's doing is NOT an "official act".
It's an an illegal power grab and usurping the Legislative Branch is not covered.
Nor is declaring yourself "above the law"...?
Dear God: HELP!!
The ABA President, at the time, was tha father of one of my hometown friends.

if he doesn't *believe* why should anyone?
That’s the whole damned thing.
The President IS the Executive Office and everything Trump has done is lawful.
Heck, Clinton got rid of 377,000 federal jobs.
They forgot what it means in Latin.
they can all go to heck.
