Look at this moron fotus. Because Daddy Putin said so, he’ll try to do it.

Being captain obvious isn't "how its done".

They don't give a flying fuck about the constitution. 🤷‍♀️🫩

Yeah, it does, unless he manufactures a war. Then, he'll claim that elections have to be canceled because we will be in a war that he created solely to cling to the presidency.

Congress and the Supreme Court will let him. Americans better wise up and vote to save democracy.

Might be a good idea to examine the words give and take. No, the constitution doesn't GIVE him that power. Worth noticing though that he continues to TAKE whatever he wants. The constitution isn't a person. It can't STOP him from taking whatever he wants. Unfortunately, no one is stopping him either

. Since when has the constitution mattered? (asking for a friend)

Hopefully the Supreme Court will find some principles again And courage And integrity? #SCOTUS

He's trying to expand his own powers beyond what the constitution gives to the president so he can block people from voting, strategically, in order to give his party an advantage. He is an enemy of the Constitution (If January 6 hasn't already convinced you)

The oath he swore to protect the constitution was a flat lie.

FINALLY!!!! ONE brave MSM outlet has an accurate headline. 🤦🏻‍♀️

The US Constitution does bot give him that power, but the legislative & judicial branches that own the country right now will, so the question is: How do we respond to them, bc the changes will come b4 11/2026?

Trump:

The Constitution prevents Insurrectionists from holding Public Office - but here we are. Oh - are we still pretending that Republicans DIDN'T start a Civil War that we should be fighting right now? I keep forgetting...

A lot of people tend to sweep all of that under the run. January 6th. The felonies. The assaults on women. Him being an immoral person in general. Its like a fart that just came and went.

More of this please!! And tell Mr. Roberts there is help if he needs it, he could take a refresher course.

So since I refuse to subscribe to WaPo anymore ( I live in DMV) is the Boston Globe having or these problems and I am not aware of it - I'd like to subscribe - in fact I think BG should be courting us ex-WAPO readers. Any other suggestions on papers not taken over by oligarchs are welcome.

What can’t MSM be real about the fat 🍊🤡 ? Boston Globe gets it.

Wtf is that toddler-esque fist doing ?

*getting sent to the concentration camp* Did you know this is illegal 🤓☝️

Trump dying changes nothing. Whomever the Heritage Foundation installs in his place will continue the fascist coup that’s underway. We don’t need cholesterol, we need guillotines.

Operation BIG MAC is slow, but it will work!

Any time now would be fine!

The constitution has not really stopped Trump so far. Seems foolish to presume it will stop him now.

it's not in the opinion section, is it?

That's alright then. Because the Constitution saying he has no power to impose tariffs on foreign nations or deprive people of liberty without trial has definitely stopped him doing those things.

He has the non-constitutional power of “who’s going to stop me?”.

Trump doesn't care about any laws or The Constitution.

#47 wants to either rig them all so he always wins or not have them at all.

This is as good as admission that he cheated in the last election. The mail-in ballots are paper ballots that can be recounted. They screw up his election fraud scheme, which can only be done with voting machines and tabulators. Use hand counted paper ballots from now on. Recount them.

DJT didn't have the power, tried, but couldn't take over the Capitol on J6 using his proud boy, nazi, & oath keeper cronies, and doesn't have the power to takeover DC, but still he's trying by using the National Guard, FBI, & ICE. It's wickedness. All who help his wickedness will pay a hefty price.

He doesn't care about the Constitution. He'll make up his own rules like they always do and he'll sign an executive order and the FASCIST SCOTUS 6 will says that's fine.

Exactly. The answer to everything is “he can’t do that!” And then he does it anyway. Why does anyone expect this to be different? He LITERALLY told his voters they would never have to vote again. He means every word. He never intends to leave.

He's simply using the fact that the document has no mechanisms to protect freedom from bad actors to his advantage.

And the Democrats?

and the republicans??? We have to stop blaming just the Dems for keeping him in check.

Republicans aren’t the “opposition” I don’t expect anything from them but what they’re delivering. The “opposition” to fascism looks far more like complicity than opposition. WTFU

Thats how America will be till his death

Really? That hasn’t stopped him so far, beginning January 6th, 2021

The Court & the Republican Party will make sure he has the power to do so because they are building a Republican One Party Nazi State together. The former have been doing so for 50+ years. All they needed was Trump.

Remember one important thing: No fascist has ever seized power. It is always given to them. And it's not just given to him by the people who work to elevate him. Attaining power would not be possible without the people giving speeches instead of acting.

With the corrupt Supreme Court, the Constitution is meaningless.

We have a constitution?

He thinks he’s above the constitution! But he’s not!

Trump told reporters “We’re going to end mail-in voting," "It’s a fraud." Election-law experts have chimed in & said the president has NO ROLE in elections. That said, ANY executive order trying to end mail-in voting & the use of voting machines is NOT worth the paper it is written on.

He thinks he’s Putin. Like kinds and minds stick together, but we won’t stand for it like the Russian people do. We will protect our democracy however we have to.

We're all well aware by now that all of this shit is unconstitutional, unfortunately that doesn't seem to matter at all anymore.

"Man vows to murder other man. Constitution does not appear to allow this" isn't the scathing indictment you seem to think it is.

Another law suit he will looooosssssseeeeee!

"Trump can't do that! Muh constitution!" *Trump does that anyway*

he's an F'n moronic criminal. he is the way he is BECAUSE he doesn't know shit about anything so for him he's made up his whole "alternative facts" world.

Since when has he followed the Constitution?

Boston and its Mayor coming out swinging. Good to see, now others follow please.

He is sworn to uphold and protect your constitution, yet he spits on it every chance he gets. So why is he still in office ?

His entire administration is unconstitutional.

The constitution is a joke that protects nothing and has been running entirely on vibes this entire time. Trump has finally realised that it actually permits him to do whatever he wants.

I don't think HE is doing any thinking 😁😆😅

Unfortunately, the Congressional GOP are trump's minions.

Why does Donnie von Shitzinpants think the weakling fist at shoulder high is a good signal? He's such a weakling and pansy, just look at Putin spanked him a couple days ago.

Only Tommie Smith & John Carlos should make that gesture, not that punk Tr&mp.

I'm old enough to remember 2 weeks ago when he announced the biggest crimes committed by Obama and Clinton in history, seems like 20,000 lies ago now

Will little Mikey help?

U.S. elections need to be changed to equal power for every vote — #Proportional_Representation More stable, more representative, more progressive. fairvote.org

Elections are run by the states...he is doing everything he can to avoid the coming landslide.

Trump is jealous of Putin and in awe of him He is endeavouring to yield the same power over the US as Putin has over Russia

PUTIN advised Trump about OUR voting system??? What in the world initiated that conversation? What else did Putin say? “I can help out with voting machines, but not with the mail in votes.” One could only imagine.

Putin knows how to play him, he plays into his ego and insecurities about elections, and how he's unpopular.

Especially since putin signed mail-in voting into law several years ago in Russia. 😑

Boston Strong! Check out our mayor’s statement today on immigration.

Oh- you already did! ✊

Wow, he’s deteriorating rapidly!

Papa is still clueless how the government works. Bet he never took a glimpse at the constitution or the Declaration of Independence. Still flying by the seat of his pants hoping he will eventually do something right.

There is zero need to show that face unadulterated Please stop; we need to win the propaganda war: bsky.app/profile/ogre... ( just click to expand frames)

It’ll probably take them another 3yrs to realize that maga actually hates the constitution

@bostonglobe.com Yes! Boston Globe, Boston strong!

He is signaling his minions via EO's to throw a wrench in to the process at all levels Constitution be damned.

WAIT JUST A MINUTE. CONSTITUTION? THIS IS GOING TOO FAR!!! AMERICA: SPEAK,ACT UP AND RESIST THIS BS.

Since when does Trump care that he doesn't have the power? He just does whatever he wants and dares anyone to stop him. Guess what? No one has stopped him yet. When will he go too far for the enablers on the Not Supreme Court and Useless Congress?

Is the Globe's billionaire owner on holiday at the moment?

Too little too late.

The national guard in DC and the shit stains on the SCOTUS do tho.... Because tyrants can seize all the power they want without recourse until the people rise up and say no more.

Still think he gives a shit about the constitution? He wouldn’t put his hand on the Bible when he took his ‘oath’. He has done everything he can ever since to bypass and destroy the constitution. The people must destroy him.

The problem is, DT doesn't give a shit about The Constitution and who's going to stop him? Congress? Which is his rubber stamp under MAGA control? SCOTUS? DoJ? The grim reality is that our Constitution means nothing when those in power choose to ignore it.

@papst-ny.bsky.social

No the Scrotum Court does

He has NEVER read The Constitution NEVER Like he has NEVER read the Bible NEVER

Funny...as with everything else, he takes it anyway.

someone you tell trump we don't pull the chain to go to the loo anymore 😅

And you think “The Constitution” on its own is going to stop him? Let us know how that works out for you. Actually, on second thoughts, don’t fret about that last bit. I’m sure we’ll work it out.

FINALLY sometime just saying it. Hope we see more of this.

*someone

How did all these people think this man had intelligence to be President?

The constitution that he regularly ignores without consequence?

OUTSTANDING Observation !!!

Doesn’t mean that orange piece of shit won’t try and will get a lot of takers in red states that are already running scared or drank the orange koolaid!

Do we think the constitution matters anymore? The John Roberts SCOTUS will “reimagine” what the founders said.

I think the takeaway here is not so much what the court will do, but that an establishment newspaper/media outlet presents the story with a fitting and truthful headline. The NYT headline would be "President Issues EO To Challenge How Elections Are Held" or some other weak shit.

He may not have that power, but he’s absolutely going to take a run at it.

Trump doesn’t know or care what’s the constitution allows or doesn’t.

You are correct. He feels if something does not go his way he can simply bend things to his will and that's not the fucking way it works. Fuck him and any party who aligns with that way of thinking.

Exactly! This was in the Project 2025 Handbook, people!

tRump is a total AH!

What Constitution? The one they've already allowed them to tear up and stomp on?

The Supreme Court will!

No disrespect to women, but we're different and Trump makes a fist like a girl.

That would matter if anyone had interest in enforcing the constitution

I don't think you Americans get how dictatorships work lol

He doesn't follow the Constitution. That's why hopefully someday he gets sent to prison for life.

What a sad commentary on the media… @NYT : “Trump Wants to End Mail-In Voting Ahead of Next Year’s Midterms”

The line between "can't do" and "will do it anyway" is being eroded on a daily basis with this guy.

A lot if tax payer dollars will go to lawyers trying to make this happen. Our tax dollars supporting a president who wants to take away our vote. We should all be screaming , hell no!

But, Putin told him to do it. According to the dictator playbook, it is legal.

It’s sad that when a traditional news outlet gets it right, tells simple truth, we’re elated.

The weaker this buffoon becomes the more desperate and extreme his narrative and actions become. This weak man is floundering, but extremely dangerous, given his seat of power and his demonstrated willingness to abuse his power. 🚩

But he'll still do it and the supreme kangaroo court will approve it. Quit thing rule of law will stop these nazis

Give me just 10 minutes alone with him to shove that fist of his right up his ass! Trump is a narcissistic bully, which makes him think he’s tougher than he actually is. If Republicans would actually stand up to him and follow the constitution and rule of law. He would have zero power

Thank you, Boston Globe for reporting the facts not the fiction.

Someone should tell him 😒

Historic correction to the title. It should read: "Trump to change whether elections are run."

No one is above the law right? Americans can't tell anymore with all the corruption going on.

The US Constitution seems irrelevant with a corrupt United States Supreme court who are committing Kleptocracy on the bench.

Like Republicans let silly things like the Constitution or laws stop them

Trump sounds scared & panicked, to say nothing of his dementia. Trump sounds afraid & will lose the election & his deconstruction of the government changes will be over turned. & he & his Fox News appointees administration will be held accountable for his crimes, & pooping “On” the White House.

I will renew my subscription for that @bostonglobe.com 🗽🇺🇸⚖️ #Boston

Why does he always look like he’s pulling man meat towards his mouth……ohhhh.

Cue the SC giving him the power. Probably via the shadow docket. In the middle of the night. Sans explanation.

Trump doesn’t want to fix the Constitution he wants to bring jimmy crows time back. But this time only the wealthy will inherit the wealth as the Nazi did in Germany.

Trump lies through fault teeth.

Sincere when does that stop him?

I'd be happy if the very contentious power to design an electoral system & run elections were handed to randomly selected citizen assemblies. These assemblies work well in just about every other context. We need for much more power to be put in the hands of ordinary citizens. #ThirdDraftDemocracy

Trump’s aware he can’t interfere with state elections but no Republican is stopping him from violating any law through Executive Order.

@aliswenson.bsky.social and @nickriccardi.bsky.social Thank you!

Dictators don’t care about what powers Constitutions give. The checks and balances are only as effective and reliably honorable as those in control of them. So far SCOTUS is a huge failure and the Republicans are in the Trump cult.

Now would be a good time to review what Jack Smith wrote about the President's role in elections (none) and how it relates to immunity for "offical acts." www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

Cute they think this selfish traitor who hates America and democracy and is also profoundly stupid care about the constitution

After all. We are Boston Strong!

Article I, Section 4, Clause 1: The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations, except as to the Places of chusing Senators.

He won't care. Cause he is a fascist. Democracy in the USA is over,fucking dead.

He's going to do it anyway, bc he'll have SCOTUS supporting him & pretty much everybody else bc everything fkn sucks anymore

He takes the power

Better yet, change the want to be king !! IMPEACH TRUMP get the Gestapo out

These do

Not that he gives a fuck about the constitution. He may not be able to pull this shit in blue states but red states will gleefully comply. And if scotus has anything to say about it...

As is his usual MO, he will do it, states will follow his orders, the courts will intervene, but it will be too late when they do, and the damage, in this case, the election, will already have taken place. The courts will not overturn the election, and trump wins

With respect The Constitution, that most fabled of documents doesn't permit every single aspect of trumps presidency including running for Office -14thA section 3 -none of which have stopped trump from doing whatever trump is instructed to do by his handlers: Leonard Leo and the Federalist Society

bsky.app/profile/whst...

Impeach. Convict. Remove.

Put demented Gramps in a Psych Ward! YESTERDAY!!

Problem is HE is ignoring the Constitution, laws, and courts.

The real question is how would changing how elections are run prevent the release of the Epstein Files.

The real distraction from saving our democracy is focusing on the Epstein files and ignoring the fascism right before your eyes.

The fascism is kind of impossible to ignore once they started siccing soldiers on their own citizens. It REALLY can't be done.

And yet these disinformation agents keep insisting we only look at Epstein.

There are only state election, there is no such thing as a national election.

Basically he does not like the rules so he'll change them. Its sickening.And its scary that millions of people think this is OK. They continue to think whatever he does is in their best interest. A horrible,horrible mistake was and very few will own up to it. He will try his damnest to get another 4

You know, Felon47's superpower is selective comprehension. He only sees those portions of the Constitution that cede power to the executive branch. The rest are written in invisible ink.

Exactly correct thanks...

I am so tired of this sick old bastard. His policies are appalling and his poll numbers are plummeting so he is openly trying to rig the midterms to avoid any check on his power. Regardless of political party, Americans need to understand that he doesn’t care about them. Let’s give him the boot!

The thing is,the Americans are the ones that put him in power again. People need to come to the realization that next time they need to make a better decision not just for themselves but for others and their country.

Honesty, the fact we make something like this news at all is the problem. He says a lot of stupid shit and he does it in an attempt to cause chaos. It’s political theater. Imagine if the media just ignored him.

The constitution? Trump has an answer for that

Quite the opposite, Trump's camp read the holy constitution with its gaping loopholes. That document means fuck all. It was written 250 years ago by slave rapists in powdered wigs, it was not designed to govern a 21st century interventionist empire that has weapons capable of wiping out humanity.

My thought exactly!

That’s great, but who’s gong to enforce the Constitution when it comes to this administration?

Would've been better if they were all doing this the whole time

What constitution. He doesn't see or follow the constitution.

Trump wants to eliminate mail-in voting to reduce the vote count. It's not because the votes are fraudulent. It's because the votes are against him. The mango man-child is desperate. He knows a fair election will be trouble for him. Impeachment for sure, conviction, possible but not likely.

A change in control of the House would put a stop to everything Dear Leader is attempting to do. If he doesn't "fix" the election, he won't be able to continue the destruction of democracy as we know it. He won't be dictator for life. He'll be doing life and he's scared shitless.

He's a fascist son of a bitch and should be impeached and removed for that reason alone.

News media stating simple facts. Amazing.

Now do tariffs.

He is anti-democratic to his core. Always has been. He only believes in democratic institutions in order to destroy democracy.

But since when has that stopped him? No one has held him accountable for his multiple violations of the Constitution yet.

#Resist

Finally an accurate headline!!!

Man looks like disease

What an ugly Cunt!

yes, but the courts refuse to stop illegal behavior, so we have this ongoing lack of decent governance.

So sick of him and his tiny little fist pump. Epstein files!

#TrumpForPrison #PutHimInACage #WhereHeBelongs

He's does whatever he wants and those evil racists gRapist white men allow it. This country deserves to crash and crumble

Such a low bar for journalism these days.

More proof Trump is a SPECIAL kind of idiot. 🤦‍♂️🤡

He doesn’t give a shit about the constitution… or has anyone not been paying attention???

What constitution would that be? Trump doesn't recognize that we HAVE a constitution. I believe we are living in a Trump dictatorship. He seems to be ruling by EO's and congress has NO problem with it!!

Cheating is Trump's way and he has already started to do that for 2026 elections. (Texas).

For the record, that's the original AP headline.

Great. Now, if he'd just stop ignoring everything that's in the Constitution, that'd be greeeaaat.

"Aww, the constitution? That quaint old thing? --John Roberts, probably.

Stop acting as if that document is anything other than a useless rag. It can say nice things about liberty, it's all meaningless if there are no mechanisms to protect it from bad actors. Trump is simply a symptom of a deeply broken system. People need to stop bootlicking those Founding Fathers.

Yes!!!!!

When SCOTUS hands down decisions that are contrary to the constitution, Dens need to loudly call out these actions as illegitimate. Do not accept this court as legitimate when they abuse their power to undermine the country they serve.

That's a straight pickup from the Associated Press. Way to go, Boston Globe and AP.

WTF the replies devolved into a critique of Democrats. Yeah, let's go deep and contemplate all the ways to blame Democrats for the actions of Republicans.

Actual story requires the addition of “…and not one other elected official is willing to stop him.” These endless “bull in China shop breaks things” stories are idiocy. The story is that no one is doing anything to stop it. Corrected headline: “Not one coward lawmaker has the guts to stop Trump.”

Mark Elias

Mark Elias is an attorney who’s showing up the electeds by constantly lapping them in effectiveness. They should be passing laws so he doesn’t have to win all those cases. But they aren’t. A good example of how leadership and “currently holding elected office” aren’t even close to the same thing.

I agree. I should have written more, but if you could have heard the sadness with which I said it in my head, you would have understood. I'm glad Mark is fighting, but I'm sad that elected officials do not appear to be waging the battle beside him.

Bull in China shop except there are animal control experts with 12 gauge shotguns ready to stop the bull whenever they want, but they don’t because idk they just don wanna :/

There are people outside the shop begging the people with shotguns inside, who are wearing red and blue shirts, variously, to just get out of the way so better people can work on stopping the bull. But for some strange reason they seem to be protecting him from the growing crowds outside the store.

Someone from among the crowd asks “why aren’t you shooting the wild animal inside the store” to which a blue shirt fellow responds “woah, I wouldn’t go so far to call it a wild animal. I mean, we can’t just go around calling anything we don’t like a ‘wild animal’”

It seems like the blue shirt fellows wish to reach a compromise with the bull, asking it with megaphones if in exchange for destroying some of the china the bull would let them try to duct tape some of the already cracked china back together. The bull does not respond, for it is a bull

Why are the people inside the shop with the bull *all* more invested at aiming their shotguns at the people outside the store who just want to stop the bull?

Well spotted. This indeed is a HUGE part of the problem.

The constitution doesn’t give him that power. So he’ll just take it because Democrats are complicit cowards. He’ll just threaten and coerce and blackmail the states. Do what I say or I cut off funding to everything in your state. He doesn’t have that power either…he wields it with no opposition

It’s the Democrats’ fault, all of this? Thanks Fox News.

Jump to conclusions much? There’s plenty of blame to go around. FoxNews is only successful because Christian churches prime their sheep for herding. That doesn’t have any affect whatsoever on the fact Dims appear complicit in most of it with their feigned ineptitude and lack of action.

I’m going to make an analogy. You know how, after your team gets walloped in the Big Game after just looking incompetent and bad coaching decision after bad coaching decision? Your ire is usually focused on the coaches and maybe even the players themselves. Why are you trying to stop that here?

Donald Trump and all his destruction is entirely the fault of Republicans.

No. Democrats chose to nominate a capitalist pig to represent the left. You wanna blame someone, blame your fellow Democrats for their ridiculous and irrational paranoia and fear of socialism Get your head out of the ass of the ass (cultist!) then maybe you’ll comprehend what’s being said to you.

Now imagine your coaches have blown it in the Big Game against Actual Decrepit Dollar Store Satan in an Ill-Fitting Human Suit twice now. Who’s getting your ire? Sure, Decrepit Dollar Store Satan is. But your coaches and players are gonna be too. Guarantee it. They let us down. We trusted *them*.

Politics is not a spectator sport. It’s this analogy that has us where we are.

We are where we are because the billionaires that own the DNC do not allow any movement leftward, while the billionaires that own the GOP, keep pushing right as hard as they can and Dims continue to let them. WTFU It’s the same billionaires that own both. Do the math.

Oh really? What do you think citizens talking to each other about politics in a democracy is? Seems like you aren’t a big fan of it. Telling, if so.

I mean I only have a law degree and a concentration in public policy and a decade’s service in the Navy as a JAG behind me but I *think* maybe the First Amendment’s speech protection is first and foremost to protect *political* speech. You seem to think political speech isn’t even doing anything.

Who said anything against the First Amendment? Not me.

Here comes Team Murc's Law to let Republicans off the hook again, as always! No wonder they're constantly testing the limits of their power; if they overstep, they can expect Team Murc's Law to bail them out!

In case you haven’t noticed, your home party, capitalist pig, has become fascist, and is in dire need of having “centrists” undermine the fascism like you’ve undermined socialism for generations. Leave the party of the left for the actual left. Go home, assholes.

You like making yourself look like a horse's ass all the time?

The Constitution? Do you really think he cares? He considers himself the Imperial President, whose wishes supersedes our laws. And "his" Supreme Court majority tends to agree with him.

The Democratic Party tends to agree with him, based on their action/inaction

Read past the first sentence so you get to “…so he’ll just take it.”

Glorious example of this phenomenon though.

Dems: “Oh no these words on a very old page say you can’t do that you scoundrel. I’m filing a complaint with my mommy.”

They’re writing their strongly worded letters as we speak.

Trump also doesn't legitimately have the powers to affect global trade the way he's doing and yet... look what's happening under the guise of his fake "emergencies".

Or posting a meme on their socials. 🙄

Conservative Democrat: Conservative Democrat Base:

The U.S. Constitution doesn't give Trump many of the powers he is exercising. 6 Supreme Court Justices give him those powers.

Exactly! We are helpless bc of the corrupt 6 SCOTUS that lean right and are being told by the billionaire sycophants what to vote for! They don’t hide that they are corrupt! They are literally flaunting their unbridled power and snubbing their noses at us! It all started with the reversal of R vs W

If I steal a gun and then use it to harm someone, no one gives a shit if I had the right to wield the gun. They only care that I pointed it and pulled the trigger.

No. A complicit “opposition” is allowing him to exercise whatever powers he thinks he has. Here’s the Dim Party ready to take on Nazis

And yet he’s exercising them anyway despite them not being granted. There’s a lesson there. Lincoln ignored the Constitution and the Courts when he issued the Emancipation Proclamation in direct contravention of Taney’s ruling in Dred Scott. It’s not the exercise of power. It’s what he’s doing.

The most major crime the Democrats ever pulled was convincing people that leadership was about following the rules. It isn’t. Leadership is about much more: also knowing when the situation demands you break them. And being willing to pay the price for being wrong, but doing the right thing anyway.

Pluses and minuses to that. After a decision to do something illegal at the moment is acted upon, that decision only works when you come out on top. Else, many are executed as a result. When all of your legal options are no longer on the table, what then is left? Who fires the first shot? Not I!

I would if I were hunting an Orange Turd. I'm 84.

Pretty sure stealing a bunch of tea and throwing it in Boston Harbor was illegal. I’m certain that capturing British customs officials (their version of ICE) and pouring boiling tar on their heads and then pouring feathers onto the sticky tar was illegal. They did that too. More than once.

Sending a mob to crack police officers over the head with steel flag poles and hit them in the face with grizzly-grade bear spray, and then pardoning the mob participants unconditionally, probably counts as "Leadership breaking the rules to do what is necessary."

After 8 months, i doubt anyone has the courage to actually fight back. Otherwise it would've already happened. We're fucked cause we're cowards.

So true. Democrats are complicit in letting djt ruin the once admired country

Gavin is showing more leadership for this Nation then congress!

6 *unelected*

Along with the silence of too many U.S. citizens

I suspect many Democrats stay quiet as they see Trump setting precedents on unlimited power they would like to use in the future, and many Republicans stay quiet since they aren't worried about Democrats ever having that kind of power as long as the rest of the elections are fixed.

In other words, Democrats are just as corrupt

That's how "Both Sides" and Whataboutism work. No one is lily white, everyone is some shade of gray, so let's leave corruption out of our voting decisions right? I've always voted for gridlock so Separation of Powers is divided by party to minimize damage, but one party got all the levers of power.

And that tired old argument was revealed as fraudulent when they said that as the excuse for not getting rid of the filibuster and then when they had the chance to use it they didn’t because oh now we have to worry about bipartisanship with Nazis, something people specifically told them not to do.

I think they’re on the same team. No party lets the other party just wield power like this. They aren’t a real party. They let a *coup* go. Biden said “welcome home” to a guy who ran a coup against him. Biden had the Epstein Files in January 2024 but kept them. What are people supposed to think?

Mutually Assured Destruction must be keeping both teams from releasing the Epstein Files.

I wish everyone had voted for Dems so they had the power to stop him. Meanwhile this is on the republicans

#ChristiansDidThis no doubt But they’re only able to do it because Democrats have failed to defend our liberal democracy from the tyranny of the right. We are a liberal democracy by definition. As such, those opposed to it are the opposition. Why have Dems been the opposition since Reagan?

Exactly... and mommy DNC will send a letter condemning trump's actions in the strongest terms... God save us all 😱 I'm looking for a pearl necklace to clutch onto as if my depended on it. Oh, God of the 🌊 whose name I don't remember... where are the pearls!?🫨

He does it because the Republicans are the majority party. There are not enough Democrats in Congress to stop it without some of the Republicans.

No shit. Maybe if the Democrats tried a different platform other than “vote blue no matter who” we wouldn’t be in this mess. But #BlueMAGA is just as mush a cult as the red one. Stupid is as stupid does

Hey look at this free spirit who was saying this *FOUR MONTHS AGO*. Folks have known, y’all. We’ve been telling you. Lots of us. Like this gardener! bsky.app/profile/then...

Just… Democrats and Republicans alike. Nobody doing anything organized to stop it. It’s like a prisoner’s dilemma except all the prisoners are in the same room and are in fact talking to each other all the time. Like, just get together and remove him you idiots. Vance too. God they’re such morons.

Like dummies you don’t even have to agree with each other you just have to agree that you too have a lust for power and if you idiots would just conspire together for five seconds like any barely competent school board schemer the rules let you simply remove him from power completely legally. GOSH.

Yes, Collaborators being bought by Citizens United to do what they are told. Technically only representing their pocketbooks.

Came here to say the same thing. Will any Republican stand up and stop him and tell him the law. No, of course, not. Republicans won't stand up to him. They gave away their power to him. It's time to vote them all out. If we have an election in 2026.

Oh man there is so much wrong with that. In any other situation in history the opposition party would be getting arrested constantly, throwing chairs in the legislature, and *fighting* against tyranny. “Our” folks make us waste our time and money begging them to simply stop voting for his judges.

There is no universe in which the Democrats, at least the ones in DC, aren’t properly viewed as traitors at this point. Just none. The guy has brought in troops from states he considers loyal and occupied the Capital with them and they’re terrorizing the almost entirely Democratic populace there.

That’s why we need to watch those AIPAC democrats. He needs 2/3 of both senate and house to change the constitution. Also the red states may capitulate but we know NY and CA and IL will not.

Watching "Hitler and the Nazis; Evil on Trial" on Netflix. It is scary how many parallels there are between the rise of Hitler and the rise of Trump. imo

2 similarities are: 1. Absolute loyalty required by both men of those around them. 2. The voters of both Germany and America were easily tricked by the two complete psychopaths. imo

Add this to the list of impeachable offenses -- Violating his oath to the Constitution.

Paper ballots with optical scanners are the best current method. Voting is easily done. Ballots can be easily returned by mail, and the resultant increase in completed ballots can quickly be counted until every vote is verified. trump wants to make it harder so only republican votes are counted.

Welcome to the 2nd American Civil War brought to you by the corrupt SCOTUS & GOP cowards. The 4th Reich would appreciate all Americans to be true patriots and civilly cooperate with your imprisonment and enslaved labor to the oligarchy.

Trump is not the only person in US with serious character disorders who wants to be a dictator. It is the enablers who made this possible. My candidates for the 2 most guilty ones, are Mitch McConnell for hindering 25th amendment after the insurrection and John Roberts for granting Trump immunity.

Control over voting belongs to the states. I thought state rights is Trump's platform?

Trump is so powerless that soon he won't even be able to change his own diaper. Who knows? He may already be there to that point.

Thank you!! Headlines should be written in a way that dares SCOTUS to cave.

Fortunately, an oath or a vow from Trump doesn't mean a thing.

Like he gives a shit it’s his and putins America now. He follows no rules the constitution is not relevant and those who could stop him seem to just do as they are told with no thought for country and people. That’s what the world sees now 🙁

Well he was told so by his boss Putin.

Tiny little baby hands.

Why are you all in his thrall? His powers are limited by the Constitution. If he oversteps, it’s Insurrection. If he overides it’s Treason.

It doesn’t but do you think he will care about that? With the partisan SCOTUS he has a free pass to do what he wants.

Yah I think a 34 count convicted felon who attempted an insurrection where people died shouldn't be altering how Americans vote. But that's just me.

Unfortunately, my worry is that the Supreme Court will give him the power.

That's how to write a headline.

It’s still too soft. Here is what it should say: “Trump pledges takeover of election systems—democracy is dead” “After repeated lawbreaking and court defiance, Trump’s new election pledge signals democracy is dead” “Trump’s vow to override US election laws-right from authoritarian playbook”

Fascism is winning.

You know you are screwed when you hear: “I’m not interested in politics” “Politics doesn’t affect my daily life” “I don’t pay attention to all that Washington drama” “Both sides are the same anyway” “I’m sure he’s doing what’s right for the country” “He’s a businessman, he knows what he’s doing”

You know you are screwed when you hear: “Even if they don’t agree with everything he’s doing, he’s doing something” “Trump might be taking it too far, but…” “At least he’s better than the alternative” “It’s just politics as usual” “The media is making it sound worse than it is”

You know you are screwed when you hear: “He’s just being dramatic - he won’t really do those things” “Congress will stop him if he goes too far” “The courts will handle it” “It’s all just campaign rhetoric” “What about what the Democrats did?” “All politicians are corrupt”

You know you are screwed when you hear: “At least he tells it like it is” “The deep state is the real problem” “There’s nothing I can do about it anyway” “My vote doesn’t matter” “Things will work themselves out” “We survived four years before” “The system is too big to fail”

So no one wants to blame Kamala for not fighting these obviously fake results and leading him to do this? I mean, no one is pinning this on her?!

And still no one will stand up and remove this Nazi regime the way our constitution says to remove corrupt government! In case you don’t know. Thats why they have the 2a. To stop a corrupt tyrannical govt! It’s time to get to work AMERICA. This should be the job you want to do!

Like that will stop him.

Finally. 💯 of what he says is not a thing. Media needs to stop treating his words as such.

Holy fnck he has small hands!

Ew…he looks cra cra.

Look at that feeble tiny little hand fist gesture. What an unbelievable A-hole. Executive orders are not law. They are the lunetic wishes of a pedophile president. Nothing more. Of course President Pedo is not smart enough to actually enact real laws. Neither is the GOP swamp dwellers.

Wouldn't a responsible Attorney General inform him of this foolish, illegal action . . . oh, yeah, right . . . silly question 😂

GASLIGHTING and PROJECTION. All evidence shows the GOP are the one's perpetrating election fraud. > fake elector scheme in 2021 > pressuring States to "find more votes" in 2020 > pressuring States to gerrymander in 2025 > Red States enacting voting laws that impact women marginalized people. ...

AP news did this as well. Grateful to see this apnews.com/article/trum...
