I lay this at the feet of SCOTUS who states immunity. I’m guessing that is their argument.

"Persons who make private determination of the law and refuse to obey an order generally risk criminal contempt..." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us... The next step to fascism is when they tell the courts to f#ck off to f#ckoffy land. That's when the Constitution ends.

"Guarantee" clause says we must be given a republic. Trump is trying to overthrow the government. That's sedition.

😡😡😡

Like they stopped him when he was caught and refused to give back classified documents. The only court a king is interested in, is the one where people come and worship him

Courts only have power if their decisions are enforced. They have zero plans to follow the courts orders & they also control the forces who would make them.

Another impeachable offense, he's really racking them up. I hope someone is making a list.

Dems in Congress need to shutdown everything they possible can and start backchannel discussions w joint chiefs and security services as the fail safe bulwark against tyranny. We cannot let this republic end because trump and musk have decided it’s time

Because that's what they believe and it has worked so far!

This is what it boils down to. Elonald doesn't need MAGA anymore unless he calls them into battle. He's not eligible to run for reelection, so since his only choice is to stay against the Constitution, he doesn't need voters. This is a money grab from the people of America!

This should not be even remotely surprising. This is what he has been doing with the cases leveled against him the past few years. Do we think E. Jean Carroll will see the millions she's owed? That any contractor ever would have voted for this guy is still amazing.

@marcelias.bsky.social What's the plan?

Yup💙💙💙💙💙

That was literally the point of the "presidential immunity" bullshit. The fact that the non-MAGAs in our government don't seem to have a plan beyond "lawsuits" is very troubling when lawsuits are meaningless when someone is immune and has powers to pardon anyone they want

Stop the executive orders. It is bad practice and bad optics. We do not want to be like Russia. The overt opinion from America is that we want a say. We do not want a dictator. Monarchies are too far back to go back to.

Prick

This can’t come as a surprise to anyone…. Right?

Which makes it even more important for all of the rest of us to stand up and fight this death march to authoritarianism

I would let trumpo the clown hang himself. Give him all the rope he needs, let the rope jerk him off the ground when it runs out.

Indeed Trump is a fool.

Then he shouldn’t be surprised when he gets taken out the way other dictators have.

“The Federal judicial branch can declare laws or presidential actions unconstitutional, in a process known as judicial review.” RIP USA

I don't see how the courts will accept this " imperial presidency" idea. Hell they just struck down the chevron, which essentially curtailed some executive power. Dems are gonna hold the GOP feet to the fire on keeping the gov open. It's all gonna push back on Trump.

And in true Silicon Valley fashion, Elmo wants to reinvent something that already exists (judicial retention elections) but make them less functional.

Imagine how many GOP lawmakers' heads would explode if, say, "Barack Hussain Obama" told Congress and the courts to go to hell and did what he wanted. I'd bet money that the MAGAts would declare Civil War. But their white and orange, water-walking miracle worker makes it all just fine.

Nixon: “It’s not illegal when the President does it.” Still wrong.

DC is under complete control of commander in chief . All levels of law enforcement (except local PD) answer to potus in District of Columbia! States had better strengthen their law enforcement loyalties. Senile Stalin will send in military to enforce unlawful orders ! #DChasfallen #ProtectStatesNow

Well, we'll just see what the Supreme Court has to say about that! And in the unlikely event that SCOTUS tries to stop him, that will be an interesting footnote to record as Trump goes on to do as he damn well pleases anyway!

And people still seem to think we’ll have midterms.

But the people can

Plenty of things can and will stop him. America will stop him. He is a loser!!

That’s been their stance since his first administration but glad people are finally starting to realize it

Yep 💯

Donald Trump is a rapist. He rapes everything he touches! He raped his father's legacy, raped his children's futures, raped contractors' payments, raped his 1st wife, raped casino shareholders, & over 20 women say he assaulted them as well. Now, he's raping Lady Liberty & our nation. Fight back!

What we are seeing is the digital equivalent of the burning of the Reichstag. Trump intends to create mass chaos & then declare martial law. He's an inept sociopath & must rely on what has worked well in the past. In this case, that means reading from Hitler's script. I wish this were hyperbole.

But we compared him to Hitler too early…

I mean, I hope it doesn't happen, but I know in my heart that it will, our 236-year experiment in the federal rule of law, in democratic self-governance for the United States of America, in American constitutionalism, is essentially over." www.rawstory.com/george-conwa...

Boss Orange has always embraced such "logic"

Unfortunately, those are exactly the voters our system grants extra weight to via the Electoral College and even the US Senate. Unfortunate, unforeseen consequence of some bad choices made long ago under duress in order to cobble our constitutional democratic republic together.

"What he meant is..."

www.americanbar.org/news/abanews...

Not sure how this is a surprise for anyone. Fascist don't care about the rule of law.

D.J.T is hiding his fears of becoming irrelevant. A lonely person living in a trail of lies and deception. His skills he masters pulling people into his world and creating fear to destroy them if they don't do his bidding. Building a pyramid net of followers to blindly worship him.

Regardless of what Trump 'thinks,' he must obey a court order. The courts enforce orders through the US Marshals Service, under the DOJ, through the executive branch. The executive branch must comply with court orders or we can just kiss our Republic good-bye. That would be on Donald Trump.

Maybe I missed it - has anyone pointed out the Supreme Court's role when they ruled on presidential immunity? Dude got a free pass for A N Y T H I N G..... Anything, I'm telling you.

Presidential immunity AND impunity. Führerprinzip in the original German.

Wait, so everyone who ignored it when he said “dictator on day one” and laughed that we were all overreacting were WRONG? What a F-ing shock - that it shouldn’t be to anyone, and here we are.

Fuck that.

They are correct, if not in theory, in practice. The only people with the ability to actually push back are state governors. Even that is suspect due to how many of their state militia members will balk at standing against a Fed administration they agree with. We are doomed to another Civil War.

He's above the law thanks to Garland

All those idiots who claimed before the election that democracy was not at stake and Trump had no intention of becoming a dictator need to explain this. I’d like to hear what they have to say about this now.

Republicans need to be aware of these similarities between the Republican agenda and Germany in the late thirties: 1 Book banning and censorship 2 Getting rid of civil servants 3 Ignoring and defying the Judiciary 4 Maginalizing the most vulnerable: minorities,disabled, poor 5 cry corruption alot

We gonna fight

Dictatorship?!

Our Supreme Court is a joke

Roberts must be so proud.

He wasn't hiding it the last time he was in office. It's just that he wasn't totally surrounded by "yes men", back then. Now, he is.

Stop calling what the Trump administration is trying to do a constitutional crisis. Let's call it what it is. A Coup d'état It is happening now!

They’re complicit in the destruction of our nation and democracy.

Exactly

Well he's taking SC advice. GOP and SC created the monster now we all have to deal with it.

We cannot accept this.

And this is OK?

Mary Trump was completely right about this asshole when she said he has no redeeming qualities whatsoever. What a POS.

It wasn't overnight but eventually the common people stood up against the nobility via various revolutions. You would think these billionaire tech bros and wanna be King Tangerine would learn a lesson from history, they can only get away with oppressing the masses for so long.

Dear God.

If you were shocked by this it's because you've got you're head firmly in the sand. You have no idea how the firehose of lies is successfully brainwashing the country because you ignore Fox et al. Can't fix it if you don't even acknowledge the problem. www.newsweek.com/was-donald-t... (no he wasn't)

"L'État c'est moi" (I am the State) said Louis XIV the Sun King... All hail King Trump?

Why are we acting surprised, he said he would be a dic-tator on day 1

thanks to the supreme court, that is. I hope all the R's in his cult are happy now. You reap what you sow, otherwise known as FAFO

Behind bars isn’t enough anymore. He needs to be buried in a golf course and silenced forever.

Or........pass.....of natural causes......or......

I mean, I wish ol boy hadn't missed.

He’s been escaping accountability his entire life. He’s a rich guy, laws don’t apply to him. Why would he change now?

A bullet in his face would stop him

This is what they voted for.

When has been proven wrong? I hate to say it but no one is willing to do anything so might as well just do it.

How could he have gotten that idea? Oh, wait.

Who is organizing this? First I have heard of it

didn't that already happen? at this point there are two things that will save our democracy either the MAGA congress impeach his dumbass (and that shit isn't going to happen) or he drops dead very soon.

💯 yup

We can thank SCOTUS for this. Wonder what they will do if he decides to pull their security protection and Clearances? 🤔😂🤣😅

Well, they are wrong.........and this is not a joke ;-)

and the felon's installed supermajority in SC claps

Yes that is a dictatorship. cbwrong.blogspot.com?m=1

He "gets to" because everyone around him are cowards and only care about themselves. They don't give a rat's ass about America or her citizens. Treasonous SOB's.

So why couldn't Biden just do the same thing when he was in office

Demand their association strip their law licenses immediately! File emotion for abject absence of jurisprudence! They want to play dirty tricks we can play dirty tricks!

We, we have to stop it.

the SCOTUS five…

You all know in your hearts ❤️ that a Woman beat him. That has to eat him up. know wonder this little man has so much hate. He already hated women.

no he doesn’t get to. This is OUR Country. Him and His Representatives have forgotten that. We don’t have dictatorship and we Won’t.

What are the chances of this dynamic creating "dead zones" in the government? Departments that the courts say Trump can't deactivate or fire, but that nobody in the Executive Branch will work with?

"The tree of liberty must occasionally be refreshed with the blood of patriots and tyrants" -Thomas Jefferson

At this point I see no difference between a leader like Trump or Putin.

so can a POTUS be arrested?

All made possible by the corrupt SCOTUS that basically said Trump could do whatever he wants until Congress gets the balls to say no

Cause there’s one thing I love is arrogance

This dictator want to be, is it ok for democrats? Of course not, the republicans want forever power over us. We’ll never have a choice. Be like only buying one car, no choices in color, style, size. We are not a one style nation! Nor a dictatorship! Find your voice.

Called it.

We all ready knew he thinks this way & the magat republicans aren’t saying otherwise Just keep kissing his ass

Anyone who has been living in America the last three weeks knows this. The question persists, is there anything in our Constitution/laws that prevent/can stop him from continuing to destroy the government? If so, those that have the power need to do so, now. If not, it's time to pack up the tent.

Isn't that essentialy what the Supreme Court told him? That ruling was actually WORSE than Citizens United

So when do we sharpen the pitchforks, and gather the torches, feathers and tar?

"don't ask permission, just ask forgiveness" has essentially always been like this, the courts usually correct though. our government does have balance if you look at the entire history from 1776 to now. many dark times, many dictator like presidents

Dems really need to win these upcoming elections. Good decision by Hochul to hold off on Stefanik's replacement election as that's a red district here in NY.

He's already proven this to be true with his first term, did someone actually believe it would be different with a second term? 😂
