Bro courts arent doing shit other than writing strongly worded letters.. they dont have any enforcement mechanism and Trump is just ignoring them. Were cooked.
Boesburg is about to start finding them in contempt. There also is a mechanism. The judge picks up a phone and calls someone he knows isn't corrupt and gives them the warrant to execute. He can even deputize people. Could have a local sheriff's department snatch up whoever it is. Police will be pretty hesitant to refuse a warrant from a circuit court judge.
You're falling for their propaganda to be scared. Even if the federal government is completely compromised we have plenty of blue states with state police and national guard.
You think a sheriff is going to risk going against the President and the whole federal government?
Power resides where people believe it resides. Right now, Trump is believed to have the authority and power to break laws and get away with it because he already has. The Supreme Court has given him broad immunity. He has pardoned and gotten people released from prison for Jan 6 offenses.
There's no one who has enough independent power to fight the federal government without it being a really ugly fight.
He can only win if we lay down and allow him to win. He wants you to feel defeated and scared. There are way too many good people out there for him to win if we just don't cower to his nonsense.
I very much understand what's going on because this isn't the first time it's happened in history. We already know how to resist this, there's a literal guide.
Checks and balances are still grinding as well, at least the judicial.
If you just want to spread doom and gloom... Shut the fuck up.
Not cooked. Trump and friends have been blatantly breaking obvious laws, that haven't been truly enforced. Common sense laws that politicians don't normally break.
They are cementing their own graves currently.
This is what half of America voted for isn't it? You gotta let them at least enjoy some of it before Daddy comes in to save the day?
that’s my biggest surprise is how much of what i stupidly assumed were codified laws are just precedent and expecting people to be decent when elected.
i do place a ton of blame on fucking Biden for not aggressively going after these loopholes and doing everything he could to close them and for nominating fucking Garland to not look biased. foolish, foolish moves. Biden had the political instincts of a pile of wet towels.
reading the book excerpts that just came out saying that he skipped the progressive caucus meeting for an Annie Leibowitz photo shoot with his family and just berated them over Zoom for criticizing his Israel position instead of rallying the left wing was infuriating. i remember reading about that and thinking, we are fucked. sure enough the left wing stayed home on election day. it wasn’t only dumbass MAGAs that got us here, establishment Dems share some blame too. people were too disillusioned with the whole system and the young voters maybe didn’t realize fully how horrible Trump was the first time.
Yeah, I blame Biden and Garland too. They thought they were letting the country "heal" and that Trump was going to go into obscurity and things were going to go back to normal.
Instead, they sent a message that there's no will politically to prosecute crimes.
I agree with everything you're saying though. Dems rolling over the last 20 or so years while Republicans continually escalate has created a situation where there's no accountability at all for Republicans. Even right now, it seems like Dems are hiding in their basements hoping Trump screws things up so bad and Americans will be forced back into their arms.
Maybe not right away in 1776, but Washington did come to realize and predict this threat, and even gave a warning in his farewell address.
Washington predicted that political parties would eventually be used to subvert the power of the people, placing the government in the hands of such unprincipled men that would hold onto the power for themselves.

He doesn’t.
Courts are already rolling back his stuff. It just takes awhile.
Founders also didn’t see a Congress that would put a party over country.
