As no surprise to anyone, he has no respect for the law.
Well, we’ve already been told that you can’t prosecute a sitting president, and you can’t really hold them responsible for “Official Acts”, so there’s really no reason for Trump to take direction from the courts seriously.
Well, except those laws that give him what he wants - like the stacked Supreme Court saying virtually anything he does in office automatically comes with blanket immunity from prosecution.
Finally the media will actually say it. I’ve been trying to point this out for a week but no one has been talking about it. Ignoring lawful court orders, laws passed by congress, and the constitution. This is not a drill, please think about what it will take to reverse this and what you personally can contribute to this struggle. The consequences will be dire for everyone if this is not stopped.
I believe you, but it’s too late. We elected a mad man -twice, and have never once followed through with any sorta legal action, punishment, or repercussions for his sly/illegal behavior. What can we do now except hope to vote against his party/interest in 2 years and continue to write letters to congressmen (who don’t read them).
It’s never too late.
There are plenty of political actions one can take beyond voting and there is absolutely not time to wait 2 years to address these things. Protest, join orgs fighting this, call your representatives, do anything you can think of.
It’s never too late. Remember, whatever democratic protections we have today were fought and clawed from the rulers of the past by people like us. Worst case scenario we have a repeat of that situation but they never win in the long run. The human spirit and desire for freedom can never be permanently defeated.
Unionize. Unionize while you still can
Yup a Nixon move and he’ll be buddy busy with Patel trying to go after political rivals and whistle blowers. Democracy lasted 249 years
The trouble is that what trump is doing is similar to what other current dictatorship countries did when transitioning from a democracy to a dictatorship.
When you throw a million different conflicting stories at the general public such as one day banning all foreign investment, and the other day expropriating domestic companies, people start to get overwhelmed with information overloaded.
Next thing you know in 6 months to a year the government you knew no longer exists and all your rights where stripped.
