Which is a violation of his oath of office, which is ample grounds for impeachment.
Shame that Congress is full of feckless cowards
I dont think theyre cowards per se. I think this is how the “democracy” is intended to work?
Trump looks after oligarchs, oligarchs make donations to campaigns to get senators elected, senators support Trump.
Its not so much that theyre cowards, theyre just serving the people who got them elected, and thats not the voters.
Cool. What of it then? I get it, but it doesn’t really mean anything if accountability is optional nowadays.
So the grants must be reinstated.
They’ll just appeal it to the supreme court who will rule that actually it’s totally cool
The absolute least we can do is force them to jump through the hoops. Like, I get that it feels pointless but it’s better than just giving up and letting them do whatever they want.
They WANT you to feel like there’s no point so that you’ll give up. They want you to give up because that’s the easiest way for them to win. Why give them the satisfaction? They haven’t actually won yet, but even if I can never win I’ll won’t give up no matter how impossible the victory, and neither should you.
Also it helps build up a solid case if shit goes to civil war, easier to get international aid if the list of things the feds have done is long and itemized. Also helps justify it to the population both within and without such anti trump territory.
So we should give up, dig a hole and stick your heads in? I’m not a giving up sort of person. But if that’s your preference, go for it. smh
I like that, by “must” do you mean still optional?
And when they aren’t?
Not an american but is the famous american “checks and balances” need to be turned off and on again or smt? It doesn’t seem to be working.
I’m American and I’m not convinced it was ever turned on. Pretty sure it was theorized and marketed well and all of you believed it as much as we did.
Just part of the elementary school indoctrination.
The real tip off was that we had a song for how great the flag is :)
Checks and balances is working exactly as the founding fathers envisioned.
…by cashing checks and hoarding balances.
The founders were mostly slave/land owning robber barons. Washington was one of the most wealthiest people in the colonies…
Yeah the only reason they didn’t want to remain a colony was because they thought they could become more wealthy personally breaking off from the British empire, seizing more land from the natives, and taking more land from Britain’s other colony of Canada.
Then bind all the states and their settlers and natives by saddling them with national debt to lock them into a unfettered capitalist experiment on an unexploited resource rich land with the moral framework of civilising and subsuming the native population.
It’s definitely not working now. It got destroyed after 9/11 - Bush was only too happy about the opportunity to make some changes that had already been waiting in a drawer for who knows how many years - and it’s honestly a miracle it took so long for someone to exploit its absence to its fullest extent.
But arguably it all went downhill long before Bush.
The “checks and balances” depend on putting ambitious people in different parts of the government, and giving them competing roles. Then, naturally, excesses get curbed because no one part of the government would want to cede too much of its power to the other.
It did not forsee a future where the leaders of the other co-equal branches of government would subjugate themselves to the President’s ego.
They ripped the CPU out of the socket, cut traces around the motherboard, stole the ram and paid off the IT staff and management to look the other way.
Apparently, and who would have guessed it, laws only work when people are willing to follow and or enforce them.
He commits crimes against the constitution every day. Is something going to be done about it?
Probably not. Decades of political rot have come to this.
We need 100 years of McCarthyism against right wing lunatics
The politicians sure as fuck aren’t doing anything. Maybe a post on social media or a 5 second statement on the news. That’s it. Nothing else. They are making money off this and can advance their agendas. They don’t give a fuck about America or its people.
Congress doesn’t want to have a record of members approving this, but they have decided that they will let it go forward
As other countries in the world showed in recent years, constitutions are worthless pieces of paper.
And some like Brazil and South Korea showed that constitutions were law
They’re only about at worthless as the citizens though.
Amazing. I cant wait to see what the consequences are.
I’ve under taken the arduous trip and located the answer. To save you the trouble, I’ve drawn a map.
OK you like surprises and magic. Right?
Its 6am, I’m a guy and just woke up. I got my own bed and my age is between 20 and 60. What am I holding? The answer may surprise you. Or maybe not.
Pastrami on rye with a little mustard, not the good mustard the occasion doesn’t call for it
Yeah hold the Good pasta!
What the fuck hahahah
Nope!
Wait but how do you know what my guess is??
Keep on keepin’ on, bud 😂
Oh I miss read your reply. No, I was holding my elbow!
Incoming Truth Social post…
“This PROVES that Demonrat states are run by crooks, because only criminals use the Fifth Amendment!”
Rick Scott.
MFW people say the Democrats are “tearing this country apart”
I wish the media stop addressing him as President for the rest of his term he only cares about his ego and white supremacy. Trump has show something being illegal doesn’t matter if you just don’t care.
Or even better: so called President Trump or “President” Trump
Trump’s violated so many laws and under aged women and got no consequences so why would he stop?
It would probably be a shorter article to list the amendments he hasn’t violated!
I tried to make a post of what that would look like but it wouldnt let me submit it since it was empty.
“Not my president” because he refuses to be.
“Wait, I know the 5th Amendment! That’s an important one! That’s the one that says I don’t have to admit to my crimes! I’m the best in the world at that one!”
“It’s my favorite Bible verse!”
Probably the most concise summary of modern Christianity we’re ever going to get.
You talking about 5th element the movie right?
Such a pathetic little spiteful coward of a man.
That thing isn’t a man. It’s an orange ghoul.
You can expect this behavior from an orange ghoul. Calling him a man insinuates that he is supposed to be better than this- which makes it worse.
I just watched “the brothers Grimsby” and it was very relevant.
Supreme Court: Uno Reverse card.
