It looks like Trump is testing the guardrails of american democracy.
The senate is never going to convict, clearly impeachment is off the table until at least 2026 unless trump starts a civil war or something. The judiciary is our only hope, there are a bunch of cases that have gone against trump at the district and appellate levels, these cases are going to go up to the supreme court. JD Vance has already indicated that this administration might just ignore the supreme court if they rule against the administration. Do you guys really think SCOTUS is corrupt and is going to hand the country over to Trump? I don't think the Supreme Court is actually corrupt but we live in strange times |
The only thing the Supreme Court loves more than Trump’s power is their own power. |
Didn’t they already give him a get out of jail free card? |
Yes, they are absolutely corrupt enough to handle him the country. If you're unsure about this, you haven't been paying attention. |
Kavanaugh, Alito, Gorsuch, and Thomas absolutely are corrupt to their core. Roberts and Barrett appear to have a moral compass. Let us hope so anyway. |
There can be no doubt that Thomas and Alito are corrupt. |
Yes, they are! Why are you even giving them the benefit of the doubt? |
Yep corruption abounds. However, I'm not sure what you do with Trump now in office? I mean if you take him away we're left with Vance. With a straight face, I ask you, how is that psycho any better? I actually suggest he's worse. And say you take him away somehow. This admin won the vote. How do you actually legit justify taking down the admin? I mean they've made a lot of noise and chaos but in terms of starting a war or revolution, I'm not seeing it? Don't get me wrong, they're gross and I didn't vote for Trump but I'm just saying, how do you square taking Trump and Vance and the next GOP like them down from a practical perspective? You really can't have a new election just because you disagree with this admin because every admin has dissenters. He's made a lot of noise on paper but other than giving Musk access, that's really a judgement call. |
I don't think they will rule that a district judge can mandate Trump must continue spending even though he has found fraudulent transactions. |
Trump doesn’t have the authority to impound. Congress decides on the budget. Once allotted, legally it must be disbursed. |
Because he doesn’t have enough cult followers on his own. He is unlikeable and would not be popular. He would not be the shiny object that would distract people from what fElon is doing. Don’t get me wrong - he’s dangerous in his own right. But people don’t and won’t support him like they do trump. Anything that can tarnish this administration will weaken their work. |
Yes, they have already proven that they are just lemmings. |
JD doesn't have any morals. He blows with the wind of public opinion. An impeachment would scare him. I am not sure how his marriage survives the company he keeps. |
You don’t? Pls see the Impoundment Act which does just that. If Congress appropriated the money he cannot just decide not to spend it. |
Yes. |
