Not trying to scare anyone, but Fu@K! We already knew this, but hearing a national security expert say it hits hard: “The guardrails may not hold. Many of the things we are concerned about are not written in law. They’re not legislative pronouncements or mandates.” @frankfigliuzzi.bsky.social

Pussies !!!! We have pussies representing us and our interests. Why is it up to us, as ordinary citizens with no wealth, no protection and no help to stop this fucking menace? Many of us will lose EVERYTHING fighting this, and NO ONE will care . We will just be causalities. (1 or 2)

I just don't see how all these #Kakistrophic morons will avoid rapidly plunging the US into utter financial ruin. There are going to be so many dumb greedy grifters stealing everything they can as fast as they can. They are literally killing the golden goose.

... because we were supposed to stop that sh!t before it became an infestation....and we didn't... so now we are totally screwed unless both the House and the Senate unanimously stop him from serving (in his case,self-serving) as Commander and Chief!

And even if there's an election in 2028 and a Dem wins, the destruction to our institutions will take decades to repair. The loss of thousands of brilliant and experienced people doesn't get solved by an election. And the loss of trust by our allies will be a fifty year project

Sarcasm warning. Please do not my sarcastic remark as support for or condoning suicide. If you go down fighting an unjust or totally illegal act it's a much better life choice then ending your life. At least you go down with some satisfaction you helped make some schmuck's life more miserable.

The republicans and all of trumps minions knew they were gonna win all along. Seriously, this election was rigged. Why isn’t it being investigated???

Thank you MSM for supporting and encouraging Trump. It is not hyperbole to say his goal is to reek havoc so he can assuage his bruised ego. Constitution be damned. Project 2025 is real and destructive. The rich are already obscenely wealthy but Trump and his allies want more.

You're absolutely right to raise the alarm. So much of our democracy relies on norms, not laws, & those norms are being shredded by the right. Progressives are fighting to codify protections & strengthen institutions, but it’ll take all of us to demand accountability & safeguard our future.

We should have learned many lessons from Trumps first presidency among them was shoring up institutions and making laws where “norms” had sufficed. Now we will suffer the consequences of thinking Trump could never happen again. 😫

The level disingenuousness and naivety by folks in leadership and the media to voice concern now that there are no guardrails for Trump is laughable. They had years to learn that Trump and his supreme court will ride over any laws or guidelines set for ethical behavior and did nothing

Very interesting. This is worth looking into a bit further. Who did they spy on? I know Trump claims the FBI spied on him, not exactly what happened.

How do we allow it without at least doing a forensic audit?! This is our country and democracy at stake, not to mention the rest of the world being impacted by him and his cast of characters cabinet.

Seriously? Why is the IG just now saying what happened during the first trump admin.? They are all complicit until they are not being included. Wray helped Trump by covering up all of this.

Sure .. because everyone ..from Biden on down what was coming ...they had from 2016 on to put the most hardened firewalls in place . they needed the most aggressive leaders in the DOJ and FBI , no , not Garland , not Wray . Had to shut out all the noise from the GOP , and FOX. Play some offense!!

Things Trump doesn't care about: * Law * Morality * Truth Things Trump doesn't have: * Integrity * Empathy * Remorse Things Trump WILL have: * Gov't trifecta * SCOTUS immunity * Almost TOTAL CONTROL of our military, intel, & law-enforcement agencies >>> Our nation is in peril. We must resist.

No one should be surprised here. Really the only thing that might help us is if Joe Biden is willing to do what is necessary to save our democratic republic. We cannot continue to respond with norms since these aren't normal times. Our reps are not stepping up to what we all know is going to happen.

This is the biggest thing 45 has taught us….the things that were the time honored traditions and norms need to be enshrined into law. Felons shouldn’t be president. Congressional approval and fbi background checks must be mandatory for all politicians and nominees, etc etc

"The guardrails may not hold. Many of the things we are concerned about are not written in law." That's weird, you fuckers are terrified now but you sure loved it when it was "we can't prosecute a sitting President for crimes he committed because...blah blah informal DOJ policy."

That's what is both baffling and infuriating. Like Jan 6, no one is surprised something bad was about to happen. What guardrails? What norms? Nothing but exceptions and analysis. They HAVEN'T been holding for some time. None of this should be allowed.

Dear God, what kind of country are my kids and their children, my grandsons, going to have 😞 I can't believe almost half of our country threw it all away because of the price of eggs.

Anyone who held some delusion that 250 year old ink and paper was going to protect this nation from fascism were little children deluded by American exceptionalism and the idea that being born in a certain drawn out area on the world map made them unique to the rest of the world.

Yea didn’t want to hear that. Corporate America and the far right are patting each others back. Know they will take back all the gains in 120 years. Not looking forward to this. Pleading with Biden and Senators doesn’t seem to help much. I suppose that the gop congress all side with frump. So Dig in

Why is this surprising to ANYONE!! We’ve been saying this for years! Time for pain to deliver the message. I hope we’re up to it when it’s time to help.

It's going to be up to the first three words of the Preamble: We the People. History tells us one thing for sure: how much will the people allow before they rise up to make a change; and within that change, there's often bloodshed before it gets better.

The thing that really irks me is that Trump is basking in the glory of his criminality, ego bursting at the seams, peacock feathers raised high. Our hands are tied at least for the next two years. Trump will be laughing all the way to the bank. Our nation is in the ICU. I fear for our country.

We’re in for a bumpy ride folks. I feel like I’m in a nightmare that I can’t wake up from. I’ll tell you one thing. As an American-born Latina, I’ll be carrying a certified copy of my birth certificate on me for the next four years.

Exactly. Besides which, after January our so-called government might only provide copies the birth certificates to those they consider to be “real Americans“, not POC.

If Dumald can be said to have ANY skill? It’s finding loopholes born of little more then Convention/Tradition & exploiting HELL out of those loopholes. Is he still an idiot? UNDENIABLY. THIS wud b the Grifter in him, & THAT he’s GOOD at. Spent last 78yrs learning/perfecting the Trade.

Oh, you mean like declassifying our nuke plans and ordering that they be shared with Vlad. What's to worry about? T is playing 4D checkers. He's got this. We are so screwed. I vasilate, sorry.

It is what America voted for, I don't agree with any of it. This is our system he has the right to attempt to tear down the institutions because he won. That is where we must step in,speak up,call out,protest, legally challenge, scream from the mountain top at every turn to protect democracy! Resist
