Looks like we have even bigger issues. Yikes—the Trump administration is becoming a Russian sympathizer, spreading misinformation about Ukraine. Trump won’t even stand up to Putin, essentially telling him, “Do whatever the hell you want.”

And now, after Trump’s dictator-like move in the U.S. yesterday, he signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.
I don’t think the new EI requiring government lawyers to interpret laws based on what Trump says passes muster under any state bar’s rules of ethics for lawyers. Lawyers are supposed to exercise independent judgment.
Is anyone surprised by this?
Hey USians -- isn't there something in your Constitution about defending against a tyrannical regime? Around about Amendment Two, I think?
We can barely convince our population to make fucking phone calls though. I do my best to not get angry about it publicly, but some days I want to swear at people in these comment sections.
The inaction of the people will kill us faster than any tyrant.
And, of course, Trump being a famous passer of the Bar and legal expert himself, what could possibly go even worse than this? 😒
He wouldn’t even pass a mental health and psychiatric evaluation for the job he currently has!
My public education taught me that the Judicial Branch interprets the law, the Executive Branch carries it out, but I’m just a poor white guy in the middle of nowhere, what do I know….
Because we're in real news censorship mode now. It's a sad day when you have to turn to the National Parks Service (or what's left of it) to find out what's really happening in your country.
I’m glad some of us are still trying to be informed to prepare what is to come. Hopefully we can awake the zombies and get the country back before it’s too late. Good will win in the end but it’s going to be a fight !
So how is someone who is not a lawyer let alone a judge qualified to be the "only" person in the country to interpret laws? Hopefully that will piss off a judge or 3.
Because people in govt. keep acting like EOs override existing laws. It's not how it should be, but it's how people are acting. Like they're official decrees. DOGE came from an EO, remember
It's sure what the prez thinks they are. And if nobody challenges it - or loses that challenge - is he wrong?
😀🙃🤪So NOW, after all the shenanigans to get a conservative court ecen THEY are being neutered??? No Congress. No Supreme Court. Just KING MUSK and his sidekick Donny The Felon.
Welp, prolly not Loose Cannon & Kasmaryk, trump's specially selected stooge appointees. I do wonder if Roberts, Sammy, Clarence, Blackout Brett, Handmaid & Gorsuch are self-aware enough to realize they made SCOTUS obsolete when they made trump king.
We aren't screwed yet. But the inaction of a huge swath of the American citizen population is certainly helping speed this up.
We literally spoon-feed ways to help to people and the number of folks willing to do anything is incredibly low compared to the actual numbers we have on our side.
Truly. The day it passed, two things became clear: (1) they never would have bestowed so much power to the executive if they thought anyone besides T would hold office, and (2) we big fucked
Dictator-like? I think the word you’re looking for is Dictatorial. He isn’t “like” a dictator. He is a dictator. The slide is over. We’ve arrived.
Thank you for your historic and ongoing resistance. It isn’t too late to defeat this F*sc!st dictator.
I feel like that executive order doesn't matter as much as people think. It's flagrantly illegal. I almost can't imagine the courts not saying so. So, if he's obeying courts, it will be overturned. And if he isn't obeying courts? He can do that with or without this executive order.
(not tenant: our taxes pay his rent, and he even gets an allowance, which he already didn't need and even more so given how much his crypto coin has made since he got inaugurated)
I can’t remember did he say he was gonna turn down his president paycheck again this time to appease the fucking dumbest of us who didn’t realize that he went golfing for 3 1/2 years out of the four that he was president and there was a pandemic in there and we paid for all of it
Posted on https://whitehouse.gov The President and the Attorney General (subject to the President’s supervision and control) will interpret the law for the executive branch, instead of having separate agencies adopt conflicting interpretations.
I fear that with Trumps current speed etc, unless he is dealt with, we will be in ww3 within 3 months, 6 at the most. I really really really hope I’m wrong.
I'm not even a little surprised! Trump has ALWAYS bowed down to Putin even when he's insulted him! Putin OWNS him & has for YEARS! We all KNOW how Trump goes after ANYONE who says bad things about him, but NEVER Putin! I feel bad for Zelensky getting his hopes up, only to be BETRAYED by TRAITOR DT!😡
The day will come when Trump just LETS Putin TAKEOVER America! Trump DOESN'T GIVE a DAMN about this Country, he ONLY CARES about himself & as long as Putin lets HIM ROAM free, he could care less about ANYTHING or ANYONE else!😡
Unfortunately USA can’t be trusted anymore 🤬🤬🤬 GLORY TO UKRAINE 🇨🇦🇨🇦❤️❤️💙💙💛💛🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦 NEVER GIVE UP!! STAY STRONG STAND TOGETHER!! Love ❤️ you all sending hugs 🤗 and prayers 🙏🏻🙏🏻🇺🇦🇺🇦💪💪💪🇨🇦🇺🇦🇨🇦🇺🇦🇨🇦
There were already clear signs in 2016 that Trump is a russian asset. This threat has not been eliminated back then.
It's pretty clear the US government has moved to the dark side. Musk to Nazi, Trump to Russia. Both to oligarchy.
Both tRump administrations have been long-game operations of Putin’s. America is infiltrated and its citizens too dumbed down. Hate and othering are always the favorites of dictators because they’re easy for the undereducated populations to learn and embrace.
BLOG: Putin & Trump's efforts to seal a deal on Ukraine are similar to Molotov & Ribbentrop's Pact of August '39. Both involve authoritarian Russia and a fascist Western power. Both ignore the rest of Europe and the victim nation, Ukraine, then Poland. Do NOT ignore. https://www.jandehn.com/post/molotov-ribbentrop-pact-2-0
Russia has been interfering in elections all around the world for a long time. It’s either money or people or bot farms & AI. Remember how they destroyed Hilary Clinton because they wanted Trump? They targeted Brexit voters in the UK to isolate us from Europe. It’s a long game, but it’s working.
Now might be a good time to revisit the Russian collusion narrative, which ended in a dozen instances of obstruction. Maybe our media was wrong to have treated blanket obstruction as exoneration.
That is true. We here in Finland are living next door to Putin’s Nightmareland, and we must immediately start treating the US as a threat to our existence, not our ally.
treating the republican US government like a threat to your existence*
i only make this distinction because the amount of 'othering' going on is desired by the fascists. the quicker they can isolate our country, the faster they can kill our resistance and hand everything over to putin and allies
"Sen. Roger Wicker (R-Miss.) on Tuesday said Putin should be "in jail for the rest of his life, if not executed," as Pres. Trump appears to be seeking closer ties with the Russian leader."
I just saw this as I was making my 5 calls today. I changed the topic to be this alignment with Putin. I was in tears and could hardly finish the calls (which were all to voicemail).
Not "becoming a Russian sympathizer" but showing that he's truly a Russian asset. Better question is whether the other tech bros are also beholden as Russia seems to have infiltrated the entire GOP party.
Given everything that's been leaked about him, and all he's been found liable for & convicted of, I think it's reasonable to assume that there's something much more sinister than pee tapes going on here.
Yes, but we all knew that would happen. Trump just does not have the cajones to stand up to Putin. He's a coward who thinks he is a strong man. He is not. And he is allowing the unelected Musk to be the de facto president.
Guys, trump has been a russian sympathizer (and likely asset) since the 80s. Putin helped put him in the WH in 2016 and bought off various gop officials along the way. The relationship is long and strong.
Trump is guilty of usurpation.
Violating the constitutional oath breaks the presidential oath and it's given authority.
All aiding are also guilty of usurpation and are likewise in violation of their oathes.
Any citizen oathed officer has the patriotic duty to remove the fired rotten orange diaper.
He's been beholden to Vladimir Putin since the beginning. His goal is and always has been to destroy the US from within. There are decades old articles stating that he would be a useful Russian asset because a little praise makes him amenable to controlling.
Trump is a corporate raider, but of nations at this point. He sees aid, values and norms as a weakness to gaslight & leverage for quid pro quos. As he tears down his allies for gain, the American kleptocracy is pandemic, ISOLATE this diseased state, BOYCOTT EVERYTHING!
"Whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends (life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness) it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it, and to institute new government."
And let me just say that FB has ramped up their propaganda crap since the inauguration to an even higher level. I had quit using it much and every time I went in, I was bombarded with crap. I've since set my account to be deleted, but what about those still using it? More brainwashing? 🤮
Similar things happened Ukraine itself in 2014 where Putin installed _Oct 2017 article that reads like a carbon copy of the predicament the US is in now. At a guess the US is in a similar stage to Ukraine 2010 with Putins man reinstalled…
He was ousted 2014 by a second people’s revolt - the EuroMaidan - where’ the Maidan square was occupied - over a 100 protestors were shot at the height of the protest - but the puppet fled. The political fixer - Manafort - who worked to put Putins man in power - also worked to put Trump in in 2016.
This is not a surprise, I believe he said he would urge Russia to do whatever the hell they want in Europe and Ukraine on the campaign trail Feb 10, 2024.
I wonder what’s so great, for Maga, that usa are now the useful idiots of Russia, who is faaaar from a power. Russia is economically weak and have a hard time, militarily, to hang on a somehow slim piece of land against Ukraine, after 2 years of war (and who needed North Korea help!)
#3ringshitshow. Ring 1: dumpy says "only me and the people me wants can "understand" the laws". Ring 2: Blame Ukraine. fElon is always in ring 3 (hijacking the Treasury, the DOL, the DOEx2). Even Bannon is causing distraction. With dumpy doing these? It must be really bad.
This has some great actionable info !! Highly recommend. I think the expanded version is only on audible which obviously trying to avoid but worth it !
Trump has been a Russian agent in some capacity since the first dystopia. Just never quite this blatantly. You'd think the national security folks would have something to say about this...
JFC. Reagan and Nixon were gawdawful shitweasels but I wouldn't mind if some necromancer called them back long enough to beat T-47's punk-ass for this.
Not a Russian sympathizer, Trump is a TRAITOR openly supporting Putin/Russia in the United States. Openly supporting and giving Putin what he asked for. Where are the HEROES? Retired CIA? Retired FBI? Retired Military?
Traitor Trump is so far up Putins ass he can't see. Not only is Donald J Trump a deranged and senile POS he is selling bout our country to Russia. He needs to be stopped. This senior citizen is angry and ready to fight.
#Trump has torn up President #Truman’s ‘To Do’ List:
🖲️ Protect the West
🖲️ Contain #Russia
🖲️ Help southern neighbours
🖲️ Keep America prosperous and strong #Ukraine
Bigger, sure. Expected? Absolutely. It worked well in his first term and he has told us who he admires. He's also never had a relationship with truth or evidence.
Y’all do realize they have been planning this for years…THEY are calling it Civil War, but Democrats aren’t fighting back. You will never see a democracy or 2 party system in your lifetime again. Because Democrats and Judges aren’t fighting back. This is the end, people. They are burning it all.
My question is WHY aren't the democrats fighting back? How many of them got paid off? You put together all of the money of Bezos, Musk, Zuckerberg and a few others they have in their circle. It would be NOTHING to make millionaires out of all of the DNC and not make a dent.
Think big but stay focused. Consider Russian programming for years to help us implode.
bots are telling us to wait for elections or courts to make us think we don’t need to stand up now. We need to get off our phones and into the streets(peacefully with resolve).
Even the British Conservative leader has said Trump is totally wrong (she's our version of a crazy right wing nutcase but evidently not as crazy as your versions)
VP Harris made it clear that Trump's idea of a "deal" is for Ukraine to surrender, just like Trump handed Afghanistan to the unelected Taliban.
Deal-making like that shows how Trump bankrupted a casino. A CASINO!
He's not "spreading misinformation." He's lying. Using euphemisms only hides the truth. His voters have been lied to. Tell them that. "You've been lied to" is easier to accept than "You voted for the wrong person."
Did the military and veterans forget the oath they made? When you join you make a oath to defend the constitution against all enemies, both foreign and domestic. The Constitution is being attacked, he has threatened our allies, has spread false information about Ukraine. When is it gonna be enough.
Hey y'all, there are rallies happening in many states to Stand With Ukraine on February 23rd, marking 3 years of Russia's war. Please come join your local group or start a march in your city if there isn't one yet. Spread the word.
For anyone who doesn't know, it's written in Ukraine's constitution to pause elections during wartime. Zelenskiy is absolutely not a dictator. The only dictator here is Putin (and looking like Trump is trying to become one).
"Sen. Roger Wicker (R-Miss.) on Tuesday said Putin should be "in jail for the rest of his life, if not executed," as Pres. Trump appears to be seeking closer ties with the Russian leader."

President? FUCK HIM, I don't care! Ignore his BS 'orders.'
'The law is what I want to be' goes both ways, if he's intent on destroying rule of law.
Any bets on Clarence Thomas? Alito?

Thank you for your historic and ongoing resistance. It isn’t too late to defeat this F*sc!st dictator.
The whole issue is, the court system doesn't move quickly enough to put a stop to any of this. He knows it.
And he should resign because he just failed his oath of office
Surely, the current SCOTUS is not so enthralled to the Orange occupant of the White House, that they would reverse THAT decision.
i accidentally typed "to get us through the presidency" at first and that was a funny as fuck freudian slip lol
https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/02/ensuring-accountability-for-all-agencies/
Unless the feckless MAGATS in congress and SCOTUS let you.
Insane times we are in.
Who's gonna take any actual action to disabuse him of the notion?
No, Trump has always been a Russian sympathizer, ever since Russian oligarchs started buying up spaces in Trump Tower.
It won't be easy to remove hundreds of people
putler helped musk buy twitter to destroy democracy and spread russian misinformation across the world.
And I’m certain kremlin helped musk & trump steal 2024 elections!
He’s been a Putin puppet from day 1
It's pretty clear the US government has moved to the dark side. Musk to Nazi, Trump to Russia. Both to oligarchy.

2016, presidential debate:
“russia, if you’re listening, release the emails.”
The emails were released THE NEXT DAY!!
They obviously WERE listening.
Now might be a good time to revisit the Russian collusion narrative, which ended in a dozen instances of obstruction. Maybe our media was wrong to have treated blanket obstruction as exoneration.
Trump has single-handedly destroyed our relationship with the allied world.
Safety and health to you.

Has no one been paying attention?
Uh, yeah, that's because PUTIN OWNS TRUMP!
Trump's not telling Putin shit - Putin's got his hand up Trump's puppet ass, and makes Trump's rat-sphincter lips move to say whatever he wants.

Trump is treating Ukraine like a colony, not an ally. He is undermining American leadership and strength. People are suffering with USAID stalled.
It will take all of us to end the Musk Trump Regime.
almost all of the policies which harmed these things being put in place by .......
the republicans.

I hope Putin says "You can fend for yourself, loser..!"
Not agent like Bond, but agent like acting on their behalf.
Everything he does is lifted directly from the wet dreams of Putin and his oligarch friends.
