Biggest point Kinzinger and others seem to miss: Trump does not give a shit what the laws say He will do what he wants How many times must you see it play out Before you believe it? Period

Tell them that!

Big point, Don and goons aren’t following the constitution, the laws, court orders, he has immunity for a reason, freedom of the press is gone, there’s only one way to stop him/them and it’s by physically removing him/them

Bold to assume that the laws matter to these people.

Bozo doesn't know law. He thinks he IS the law

I remain unconvinced that a few hundred protesters can do that

It will happen. Donald just criticized the Federalist Society, who owns at least 4 of the justices.

Careful Adam. You sound like a rule following dogooder here. 😉

Where is the Congressman for this district? Should he/she speak out? Make her presence known? Or did I miss it?

Will this stop them? I doubt it.

BUT THEY ARE. Dems those in politics and not are constantly saying, they can't do that. BUT THEY ARE!!!

If @governor.ca.gov and the CA legislature passed a law to stop funding the federal government, the federal government would collapse. Other blue states would likely follow CA’s lead. Trump wants to become king of CA. That’s your context Adam. @democraticags.bsky.social @chrislhayes.bsky.social

Wonderful.

Trump is above any and all laws, the Americans that voted for him not only gave him a "get out of jail free card" they gave him permission to ignore all laws.

The law doesn't matter under Trump's dictatorship.

You're assuming that our Government gives a single sh*t about "The Law" or "The Constitution". They don't - those days are gone forever. These aren't Americans - these are Republicans! If they gave a single sh*t about the Constitution - they wouldn't have sworn an Insurrectionist into office.

Do you think Trump actives a shit about that?

You keep thinking that laws matter to these people.

But they are? 🚬😎

It's so cute you think this regime is going to follow the law. Absolutely adorable.

Yeah, but them Duke boys don't seem to care about "lawful" these days...

As in several years or decades of violence, unfortunately.

When lawmakers, and the enforcers break the law, then there is no law.

Federal charges would never be filed by Trump’s DOJ because they are subject to his pardon power. That’s the reality under Trump - the rules don’t apply.

A GESTAPO BY ANY OTHER NAME IS STILL A GESTAPO.

How is that going to stop him!?

But they will violate their oath for Trump. Pete will escalate. That is the plan.

So, break that down for me... they can only stand there and look pretty?

Period? Yeh right until the emperor says otherwise.

Riiiiight. Trump always stops at a period.....

Do you mean Trump is fixing to break the law? Of course he is.

Unless they ignore the posse comitatus act and nobody enforces it and the SCOTUS lets it fall under official immunity.

January 6th.

they can escort and protect ICE in its execution of federal law

Man, people are giving up too quickly! Of course Trump doesn’t care. The courts will though. Every single person arrested can bring a huge claim against the federal government for illegal arrests by the army. This fight against fascism is a marathon. People have to fight smart.

And when they do do law enforcement, who's going to stop them? Felon47?

👏👏👏

The law has not stood in the way yet.

Good point. But the Constitution and statutes are of little influence regarding the conduct of current elected Republican officials including the president. Court orders have been ignored. The will of the majority has been ignored. SCOTUS has paved the road to this nefarious governmental conduct.

Trumps gonna do whatever Trump wants to do. Period. If laws and acts were a thing. He’d be in jail.

So how can they be stopped?

MAGA keeps saying “It’s about the law” Yet our president doesn’t follow the law. So I say to you as a 80’s DARE California kid, “I learned it from watching you”

But who stops them?

If only the law mattered

That was under the "old" rules. I fear we are entering a time when the laws, norms, customs, & mores we once knew, no longer apply.

Actually sir, Have they been abiding by the law to this point? What makes you think he cares. So he will do it,we will take it to the courts who will put a stay on it and puff gone. WE ARE BEING PLAYED.

None of the heretofore accepted “rules” matter, if they are not enforced. Civilian resistance is the only thing left to stop any of this.

So now what? How does this end? There is no law anymore in this country unless it benefits the regime.

same 🥺

They need the people. It’s not a movie.

I have military fam. This is what they tell me.

Do they know that? The Guard I mean. Will they actually kill American protestors if the President demands it? Guess we’ll soon find out soon.

The fact that we are even having this conversation...

www.vice.com/en/article/t...

Guess they missed that rule in their Governing for Dummies book…

You mean they legally can't. Trump's action does not satisfy the act he has invoked. It is illegal. All are particiapting illegally. Who is going to stop them? They are outside the law, and think they can do anything they want.

I apologize for coming across as rude as I did. I am just so frustrated watching all of this unfold. Before he was elected, the felonious anointed maga god king said he would invoke the Insurrection Act; msm/politicians ignored it. It's here - msm talks od L.A. riots and politicians are speechless.

Trump and laws.

Donald Trump doesn’t understand or care about that. He requires guardrails bigger and stronger than most.

Laws? What laws? Orange Julius doesn’t follow any laws.

resist.bot/petitions/PF...

Adam, all rules and laws are now suspended. What you knew is no more. The sooner we accept that the sooner we can figure out how to fight this.

📌

Who will arrest them when they follow unlawful orders?

We, the People will.

Wow , that will most certainly stop them 🙄

The Declaration of Independence, in part.... He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures. He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.

Absolutely! The only Heritage they care about is their own and that of the wealthy!

Don’t think they really care about the law anymore.

Good lord. I fucking cringe every time someone brings up "rules". There's no rules with these fucktwads. Look, power has ALWAYS come at the tip of a sword. ALWAYS. Quote all the fucking rules you want. Here's what they understand:

The insurrection act will soon follow. Cadet bone spurs is activating the Guard with hopes of inciting violence, leading to the insurrection act.

It’s interesting because you were on the committee that investigate it. He is quick to call out the National Guard now, but where was the National Guard when our capital was being attacked?

Someone needs to enforce the law!! And it doesn't seem that anyone will/can

Big point that is being missed: In a lawless fascist state, this shit doesn't matter. trump doesn't care, his appointees dont care, the military dont care...

They are fully within their rights to disobey, is only chance, turn around and help us stop I.C.E. #democracy #democracia #democrat #republican #america #fucktrump #usa #nokings #resistfacism #notmypresident #bluewave #putinspoodle #patriot #powerofthepeople #50501movement #move.org

If they were following the law…

Which only works to limit an Executive unwilling to breach The Law and Constitution or which can be coerced into abiding by The Law (by Federal Marshall Service, Impeachment, etc).

So what happens if they do?

There are no rules.

Yeah and who exactly is going to stand up for the Cnstitution and the rule of law? (Crickets...)

Thank you Adam. But will they comply? Do they care??

Yeah but the law doesn't apply anymore since about 130 days...

That’s why his Cabinet is made up of people who have publicly expressed their trumpien antipathy towards the very departments they are now heading up! With boot lickers like Noam, Hegseth, Patel and the like, who would be sympathetic to any of his lunatic orders!

Right!!!!

The big point YOU seem to be missing is this. Trump does lots of things he legally cannot do. And? Nothing happens. So you should recalibrate your assumptions. He WILL do this, then the question becomes, ‘What are WE going to do in response?’

. . . as it is for every citizen finding themselves under fascist rule. Fascism/dictatorship has never in history been defeated by voting it out. Never. Direct, consistent, and constant civil disobedience by millions is needed. Today.

The media grabs onto whatever is Drumpf's latest scam or con. It's not just one business that needs to be boycotted. We've seen the severe effect on Teslas' bottom line. Why not all maga Drumpf's millionaire and billionaire friends?

It wasn’t instant. They have been slowly chipping at checks and balances since [at least] the GW Bush administration. I was howling at it then. They used homeland security after 9-11 as the reason and anyone who disagreed wasn’t a patriot and didn’t respect the lives of those lost to terrorists.

At the moment, to use Old West lingo, Trump has effectively hog tied this country via his multiple EOs tying up the courts, deporting people without Due Process and now Federalizing a state’s National Guard. Expect more of this in all the Blue States.

Funny how there's no "insurrection."

we are way past the rules being adhered to, Adam Love ya bro, but this lot is brute forcing everything rules, guidelines, laws, are all BS

Well, it didn't take much to lose the support of the people he's been threatening directly and explicitly and continuously for over a year straight.

Well that tends to happens when you send raids on innocent people.

The group driving Miller is The Heritage Foundation. They are the architects. as they refer to themselves, if this mayhem. Trump may stray from the playbook, but the people in power are chosen by the Heritage Foundation.

I truly hope California Does Not send federal taxes to trump and instead, hold the funds collected from Californians for California.

True. But any blue state - i.e., where Trump lost - is in Trump's crosshairs. Even his home state of New York. This is on Trump.

And Musk took his wife away. Raging anger on Los Angeles.

Trump made $ promises — which he hasn’t kept. Also, they share his homophobia, transphobia and are anti-abortion.

The trees voted for the axe, because he convinced him that he was just like them, as his handle was made of wood.

That hasn't been missed

Trump never follows the rules, unless forced to by the courts
