Remember the enemy is not a king yet. He can be opposed.

Except haven't the White House just been ignoring the court orders?

I mean, he's immune for all presidential acts, which presumably include contempt of court.

Then America and the world really does have a very big problem on its hands because that means that the Constitution has just become toilet paper. Personally, I would be looking at that legislation very closely if I had the power to do so.

I'm obviously not privy to your news first hand, but have to say, how its being reported here, there really does not seem to be much counter-action going on from anyone concerning what Trump is doing. America in theory is set up to prevent a king from taking power so why does it not seem to be working out that way?

I mean, yes, because Trump isn't a childish buffoon. He's a genuine evil monster who is a narcissistic psychopath. Assuming he's still got that much awareness.

And the reason he can do it is because the Republican leadership turned out to all be racist criminals and the Supreme Court too.

There is that possibility that he actually believes he has a mandate by the American people. Which he doesn't. But who knows maybe he is that self aware and doesn't care.

I mean there's a not uncredible argument Trump is in late stage dementia and being used like a literal prop.

[McAvoy]

I don't think Trump is there yet. But he will be.

He had a rant about magnets lately that was just mind bogglingly bad. But that will be ignored of course.

Propping him up? Nah. Not yet.

He isn't at the point where he says

These damned cats in this country. Their big ears can hear everything and China knows this so they made them into the most beautiful spies? You know big ears! Beautiful spies. China sending these spies on ships undetected. Probably through California. California what a shithole. You know they manufacture these fires to get more money to spend. They spend so much money on the most stupid things. Stupid things! They owe so much money to the government like $500 billion. These spies coming from China. You know they are coming from China. They out these small injections into things that they sell. So they can get our information from what we say. Listening devices. Like Samsung! We should do something about that. Samsung has a huge market in technology. We should do something about that.

Oh wait.

What is it about insane clowns and magnets?

Magnets, windmills, DEI, sharks...

He does just say nothing but word salad.

And the unwillingness of the Democratic Party to upset the status quo. And the inability to establish a third force outside of both right wings of the same party. It's the birthing mistakes of the Constitution coming back to haunt you: There's no nucleus to gather around other than the existing party/parties.

If the US ever overcomes Trump and his successors, nothing short of a complete restart will prevent this from happening again. The Constitution is over, because the belief in following it is gone and will be gone, even if the Democrats and their voters keep lying to themselves about it.
