People are overreacting.

He's said something like "only he can interpret the law"

Which is like saying he's ending the first amendment by EO. No he's not.

Except he is...and no one is stopping him. You can pretend otherwise but there is no resistance from anyone. Just harsh words and finger wagging. Until someone actually fights him and a judge threatens his freedom over it he will do what he wants, when he wants how he wants.

So we aren't overreacting you are under-reacting. This is not normal this crap is very bad and we aren't equipped to stop it. The guardrails won't hold because one guardrail (The Courts) don't even pretend to care half the time and the other (Congress) agrees with him.

The Courts won't even stop Musk and he is a private citizen...Trump is going Imperial here and some want to pretend it's all bluster. It isn't. It shouldn't be working but the other two branches quit.

We are going to find out whether Americans deserve to be free. These guys are the fever dreams that have always been within every rightwing breast. But for the 61 years since the Goldwater Spanking they were bright enough to hide it underneath the various Atwateresque fig leaves (state's rights, small government, fiscal responsibility, supply side, rights of the unborn).

These guys just bray it loudly in the public square: domination, power, cruelty. The question is has the RWNM boiled the frog long enough that the derps keep swallowing and begging for more, or do they finally snap and turn on their abusers.
 
Even if the courts rule against him(and Roberts did make he big "we've got powers too" speech when he ranted before the election about politicians disregarding court rulings they don't like, but what happens when Donnie just ignores them and keeps on keeping on?

It's not like barring the Justice Department, the courts have any enforcement mechanisms of their own. And we all know who the Justice Department works for. Say the court rules Elon goes to jail for contempt? Who's gonna make him go?

The court rules Donnie has to stop his purged, and all these people need to be hired back? Who forces him to do that? You think Donnie says, "oh well, the courts said do. Hire them all back"?

If he defies the courts, or the Supreme side with him, this country as we know it is over.

One and one half branches capitulated to him allowing this, the remaining half is mostly "Susan Collins-ing it" saying that they're cross at him, but hopes he learned his lesson.

A small sliver is actually putting up a fight (Crockett, AOC). I'm not as bitter towards the Dems as some on Bluesky, but goddammit at least do you job and lie to me a little that there's court challenges being formed. Why am I hearing more pushback from the Alt National Parks account and Adam Kinzinger than my own goddammed elected officials.

Every independent agency set up to oversee now reports to him. And any rules given to the executive branch can only be interpreted by the executive branch.

Can't be. Supreme Court ruled last year that agencies can't develop their own rules and regulations in how they operate and how laws get enforced. The Congress has to specify in detail what their passed laws mean, and how they should be interpreted in execution.

I was on the "Dems are screwing this up" bandwagon before most of Bluesky was because I saw how pathetic the Dems are. The second they started talking about bipartisanship again I knew we were lost. (so you spent a billiond dollars saying he is Hitler...and now you want to work with Hitler? This is why no one trusts you clowns) When some started blaming the "Woke Left" I knew they weren't serious...and when they couldnt be bothered to even stay in DC to work (MULITPLE TIMES!!) while the country was burning I knew we were screwed. They don't care...because most of leadership is bought and paid for by the same clowns they are pretending to hate. Hell Jeffries was just out in California trying to raise money...hey pr!ck maybe do your phucking job and at least pretend you are trying to protect us. Nancy Pelosi would have!

The ones who seem the most worried these days are the former Republicans like Michael Steele. He legit froths at the mouth begging the Dems to take this seriously. Kinzinger too. Lower level Dems like Moskowitz and Crockett do...but hell even Bernie voted for Rubio I believe. (and hasn't stopped Unanimous Consent which he could do to you know...FIGHT!) The Dems don't care because they are benefiting in their eyes. I bet the lobbyists are throwing cash at them so they don't even notice if we stop donating. Most of them think it is is their right to be there...they dont care if we think they no longer represent us. You can hear it every time they talk.

At least the GOP doesn't hide who they are. The Dems are wolves in sheeps clothing.
 
Last night I got a text message from my cousin's wife, out of the blue. For background, my cousin is pretty well off financially. I'm pretty close with him. I've know his wife since they got married 35 years ago. Their son is my godson. She's very Junior League, etc. Their daughter is autistic, she's in her late 20s. Takes advantage of a lot of programs to help her try to be as independent as possible. The wife and I are friends on Facebook. She hardly ever posts. I'm assuming she does look at it because I've posted a few things the last few weeks about things that have been going on in the world.

She sends me a text with a scanned photo of a Trump Facebook post about him signing the Autism Cares Act and says she just saw this and wanted me to see it since her daughter is on the spectrum. It was so odd. No greeting, just that message. I googled it. It was signed by him in 2019. I also saw that Biden signed a newer (and I'm thinking better) law in December 2024. I don't know how to respond to her. Or of I should. I'd need help in developing a response, like that's all well and good but a) it's from 2019 and b) here's a link on the improved act that Biden signed in December. Also, I'm thinking your daughter on the spectrum will be getting screwed over soon what with DEI no longer being recognized. Or something something. It really threw me for a loop when she texted me.

People love voting for liars. No two politicians in history told the truth more than H. Clinton and Harris and they were summarily rejected for it.
