There is literally nothing the Republican party won't let him do, all this cowardice from them just empowers him more. He will straight up be executing people by the end of his term.
Most people have no idea how our government is supposed to work. That is how we got here and they want to keep us uneducated so we don’t question anything. It’s frightening!
As a post WWII Boomer, I was required to take Civics to graduate high school. However, it is no longer a required course, and in the state where my child went to school, Civics is no longer even taught.
It does. But we are very siloed in our professions. There are nuances and details that General pop are not going to know and that’s ok. I learn so much from experts on social media. Your analysis and comments can help. I don’t like to call out anyone for not knowing the details.
Too bad no one can do anything about it since the MAGAts run Congress and the Supreme Court. All because poorly educated and poorly informed voters don't understand economics and are led by fear and paranoia.
A great point I read earlier in response to Jon Stewart is that the Nazi’s took over and operated fully within the law. You can be fascist and still operate legally. I don’t think we can fully trust in our legal institutions to handle this: we need to be willing to disobey.
My thoughts exactly when I saw that segment of Jon Stewart carrying ALL the water for the fascists. Like, everything he said about Trump and MAGA he could have said about Hitler and the Nazis. Almost fucking verbatim. Too bad he lost his way.
Some are that's for sure and for what reasons I'd like to know. They are not doing their job they need called out on it now contact your Representatives and demand they votes to impeach now.
With the Speaker of the House and the Majority Leader in the Senate constantly wiping 47's matter from their faces, it is clear there is no separation of powers. Fuckers.
What we have experienced in these recent years are the actions of political actors of right-wing agendas that have skewed the voters' abilities to attain the candidates they wanted. Those same right-wing actors have also bought our "local" and national media. W/o gerrymandering, the House is ours.
Mind you, that the guy issuing the order is a freeloader, who enjoys golfing, flying, eating and everything else on the taxpayers dime.. He has not even paid for the lawyers from his own money.
Think it's why he pardoned all the J6 convicts so quickly. He needed his brownshirts out there, a looming threat over the Rs in Congress so they don't dare cross him. If a Dem president did these executive orders you'd never stop hearing from right-wing media how we don't have kings. Now? Crickets.
From Wikipedia: "The redcap (or powrie) is a type of malevolent, murderous goblin found in folklore of the Anglo-Scottish border region. [..] and is known for soaking his cap in the blood of his victims."
Exactly! But he also pardoned,Ulbrecht the silk Road internet Bitcoin drug source for heroin,crack etc. There's no accountability using Bitcoin. Trump was given over 100 million in Bitcoin donations to his candidacy/ campaign. Very easy to disguise. So why him, he wasn't involved in j6 at all!
Fascists have literally taken over our government, and while they have control, there will be no checks and balances. Democracy and freedom will be in shreds by the time our next election rolls around
I literally JUST did a lesson on this today! My 8th graders got it right away after we reviewed the branches. The way their faces dropped when I explained the birthright citizenship order…not sure my job has ever been more important!
Apparently members of Congress don’t or the democrats at least would be screaming from every rooftop - where the hell are you [email protected] @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @pelositrackers.bsky.social
@democrats.org
Considering that at most 5 democratic senators and 2 republicans are even daring to question trump, let alone call him out as the wannabe dictator he is, apparently most politicians don't understand civics.
Do you understand what being above the law is? Do you also understand that democracy is over because of the Democrats and law enforcement officials cowardice? They failed at their job
Exactly!! I have shared the OMB memo with friends and colleagues. Only a few were alarmed. And Morning Joe didn’t even lead with this story!!! Why is American media so awful 😞
This exactly. I know when I go all day without news or social media I have no idea what is going on. Imagine the amount of people who have no clue about what is happening. They may catch snippets here or there but that’s it. Republicans know this & is taking advantage.
I Do Not Believe He Has the Authority.
Congress Does.
It’s All Fake.
He Does NOT Have Dictoral Powers.
None.
Do NOT Act As If He Does.
Sue Him On All His Illegal and UnConstitutional Acts.
Ignore All Illegal Acts.
Stand String Against Fascism.
If only the last administration would have handled Trump like the national security threat & domestic terrorist leader that he is, starting on day one of Biden’s presidency. Instead, they were too worried about being called “politically biased” by MAGA.
Yes of course it helps to know why something is happening, but for most people it is what is happening that matters to them. When their lives are impacted directly.
My son teaches civics, and finds he is continually having to change what he teaches due to recent SCOTUS rulings as well as actions by the current administration. He fears past students will find what he taught them naive, misinformed or just plain lies.
Yes. Reading comprehension matters too. So does logical reasoning. This is what comes of 30 years of grade inflation and passing failing students; an incompetent press and an ignorant electorate.

Trump served no time for his coup.
HOW are literal strangers allowed this level of access & empowerment?!
The average American can barely read past a 6th grade level, you expect them to understand basic concepts of 7th grade civics?
Please explain.
Because the education system was destroyed years ago to allow this to happen.
Because even our side did not fund education properly… and let the military eat up all our money.
Oh yeah - and we gave billions to Elon.
Our tax dollars.
So….
I joke when I’m nervous.
Cowardly Republican congressmen are the problem!
They are it doing their job!
It's only escalating and illustrates how inherently weak our system of "checks and balances" is.
It only worked up until now because officials voluntarily followed the rules.
Those days are over..
If the people running them are corrupt and acting in bad faith, those legal institutions are worthless.

They are the ones abdicating their power and their responsibility to preserve that separation.
@democrats.org
Can't wait for them to cut ACA, MEDICAID, MEDICARE, DISABILITY, ETC.
FUCK

Feels like “leftists” are stuck in defensive reactionary mode, rather than being on offense and informative
It’s the people by our representatives who set the budget.
