Combining this (Trump declares Biden admin pardons void) with Trump's admin ignoring judicial orders and I conclude the USA is now in an uncontrolled skid towards dictatorship.

The rule of law is void where it offends Trump.

@cstross If the courts have no sway, we're all in deep trouble.

We are way past "towards"

Act accordingly.

Does his rambling about Biden's pardons hold actual weight? Can he undo another President's pardon by typing words into the internet - or is it just the same screaming into the void about shit he doesn't like?

It does if no one stops him. If the courts let him break the law with impunity -- and it's not clear the Supreme Court has any interest in stopping him -- then the laws aren't worth the paper they're written on. If he starts prosecuting these people and the courts don't stop him, that's the new law.

Feels like being inside a boat that's listing rapidly and taking on water.

@cstross I think the annexation of #Austria in 1938 is a more apt comparison, so #Canada has time to prepare

Trump IS on Hitlers schedule now

@cstross I don't think there is enough stupid to keep him busy for 3 years. The trade war is going swimmingly, climate change did not get the memo it was cancelled, and the handling of the storms was as brilliant as could be expected. A distraction will be needed soon…

All the wild Republican representatives are sucking their thumb and been told not to pay attention to what the constituents say. That’s real rich.

Welcome to a world of absolute tyranny
