It’s time for people to stop saying “he can’t do that” or “he’ll never get away with it” because he can and likely will.

At least they finally stopped saying, "no one is above the law." That one didn't age well.
Anyone saying, “he can’t do that” or “he’ll never get away with it” has not been paying attention for the past 10 years. Hell, he's gotten away with everything his entire life. He's not going to suddenly be held accountable now that he is Dictator of the United States.
He did and he has.
For months now people have been reacting to me by saying "the Constitution will protect my rights!" No. You needed to protect the Constitution. You didn't.
It’s well past time for people who are in a position to make a difference - to make a difference. GOP reps. need to find their backbones and take back the power they’ve so willingly handed over to Humpty Dumpty.
Sadly so 😢
🎯
He is. Daily. Wake up. Pay attention.
When do you think he will declare martial law?
And the can thank SCOTUS, Republican complicity and Democratic indifference
And already has been for nearly 3 months… holy shizz. It’s not even 3 months yet FFS!
He has lived above the law all his thuggish life.
With their help through inaction.
I feel bad for all the lawyers out there. There is no rule of law so what are you guys going do?
Sadly, I learned that in 2016.
And the Supreme Court will help him.
JB fletcher was one of the most insidious assassins to grace television. Just saying.
And that’s the worst part. The only thing the SCOTUS is good for is to rubber stamp everything he does.
*is helping
Yup. They made sure he can commit all the crimes and cannot be stopped.
Then we have to fucking stop him.
Absolutely. The only way this ends now is "the Chicago Way."
This. 👆
How long will it be before Act Blue donors, poll workers, average citizens just doing good work and going about their lives are scooped up and shipped off? Forty-five days? Two months?
IMPEACH DONALD TRUMP
And even if the Supreme Court miraculously doesn't rule in his favor, apparently it's just a shrug and business as usual. Facisim dictatorship whatever you want to call it, it's here, it's now. Question is what's going to be our breaking point?
It's like being a 3rd grade teacher. Sometimes you gotta pretend like you don't see what they're doing because either way you're powerless to stop it but if they ever figure that out all hell is really gonna break loose.
If a SCOTUS Justice rules against him, he can declare “treason” and ship her off. And no, I am not overreacting.
People say the Nazis took time to embed, they didn't just rock up and start gassing people. Thing is, we've had Trump v. 1 already, that was the reconnaissance, probing, testing for weaknesses, marshalling, getting other backers aboard, honing the onslaught that is Trump v.2.
And the Democratic Party leadership continues to do nothing to stand up to him. Not even anything symbolic! Just a fucking shame how pathetic that are right now.
It’s not just a democrats issue. The fucking republicans need to be pushed into action too. The whole of Congress should be doing something. We aren’t going to make it to the midterms to vote them out.
The GOP has become part of the Cult of MAGA. Until their constituents make enough noise to change their minds, they will do nothing to oppose Trump.
Articles of impeachment are being drafted now
On a completely unrelated note: I was in Berlin yesterday at the Topography Of Terror, a museum on the site of the old SS HQ. I was stunned by how little justice ever arrived for so many of the Nazis, eg this Nazi who murdered “thousands” and spent a grand total of 3 years in prison for it. Yep.
On the other hand, Himmler choked on a bottle of his own cowardice in the end
Something else to note: prosecutions were ongoing well into the 1960s, a couple of decades afterwards. Some still convicted into the 80s and 90s too. Trump in particular will be long dead before any justice can be leveled, almost certainly.
He’s literally getting away with everything!
We need to be on the streets every day until we hit that flashpoint where we're on the streets every night. Shouldn't be too long now.
We better fight fast Trump told El Salvador President Bukele he needs to build 5 more prisons because he's going to be sending him "home growns" Bukele said "we have enough space" youtu.be/myFL_QyW4QY?...
Exactly. And with Congress looking for their spines and SCOTUS anal gazing, the American people need to figure out what can be done!
What oh WHAT can we do. Going to protest on Saturday again... and it feels good in the moment... but nothing happens. Our newspeople need to be like paparazzi reporters and hound repub congress and senate every single day... they're hiding and getting away with everything.
And screw us all in the process.
Ugh so GD disheartening
Unless…
Yes. Everyone needs to follow Tim Walz, expect everything he will do (read project 2025 if you haven’t already) and be prepared.
Please add, his freedom depends on not giving up.
So what can be done??
With the judiciary in his back pocket, and DC attorneys who have guaranteed him the finest representation, there is NOTHING standing in the way of this regime. But that does not mean we surrender and roll over, either. We #ResistOppose&Organize because we are #StrongerTogether✊
Finally!! Someone who gets it. He’s a dictator and he’s gonna do dictator stuff. Rule of law is dead. I’m so sorry Andrew.
Yes. This. It is over. Check-mate. We lost.
And meanwhile, the Supreme Court and all the Republicans in this regime are silent. Ray Dalio recently warned this pattern being set up is reminiscent of Germany in the 1930s. Every American every citizen of the world needs to step up and take action against this corrupt regime.
For a time.
Time to remove him from power
We can stop him if enough people join the effort. It isn't someone else's job. It is on all of us. That is why we are calling our representatives, protesting in the streets, and more.
He can and will do anything the MAGAns in Congress will let him. Which at this point appears to be anything he wants.
It's time for people to stand up and fight back. We can't let him continue to get away with this. I'm ready to fight.
What’s the solution then?
Liz Cheney warned us! No one listened.
A lot of women warned us.
Yes they did!
Facts
That time has come and passed. People should have stopped thinking that way his FIRST term.
So what do we DO??? Please post what we should do - when posting this news it would be VERY helpful if you can include what us citizens can do! Thank you.
Mass movements. Mass protests. General strike. Organize locally and nationally to remove him.
Well, I don't like the idea of us just giving up on accountability. Because we CERTAINLY will not forgivei, NOR FORGET, the crimes we are seeing. That said, absolutely on the part of idiotic traitors saying "he can't do it" They are enablers and complicit.
At some point, we'll need to decide how much of this we'll take, when to act on it when it becomes unbearable, and what actions we'll be ready to take when that time comes.
As in, he IS.
No one else will hold the fucker accountable, so everyday Americans must.
What can we do we can’t put up with it for 3 more years impeachment now
We call this denial. If I had a dollar for every time someone said those exact phrases to me, I’d be rich.
Basically, they are saying to you all IN YOUR FUCKING FACE
“He can’t do that” is a valuable way of saying “we must hold him to not doing it” and I guess it was always implied. Don’t let your representatives get away with ignoring it.
every single elected representative took an oath to support the constitution against all enemies foreign & DOMESTIC. You were not elected to manipulate divisions. Stop setting us against each other -we are not pawns. Do u work for us? Then you must fix this before it's too late.
He's gotten away with everything for his entire life. Why stop now?
Complying I see. Must be a democrat.
THANKS💙💙💙😊
Then what? WTF is going on…total chaos…free for all. I’m sick & tired of so called men cosplaying COWARDS! At least Luigi wasn’t afraid💪🏻
What happened to the United States of America? If you find it let me know because I want to go home.
So what do you suggest we do?
This
"What we allow is what will continue."
I would say he is and has
I am sick & tired of every time there's some DJT admin outrage, some god-awful decision by the SC, some DJT crap BS--all supported by GOP pols--that the reaction is DEMS BETTER IMMEDIATELY DO X, Y, & Z OR ELSE I WON'T VOTE FOR ANY OF THEM!!!!! Isn't that how we ended up where we are now?
I know ....wtaf.....what is the devil emoji??
It does feel like we’re a bit lost in the sauce of, “whoa, that’s crazy. No way.” Yep. 🫠
The courts can refuse to supply a veneer of legality and people can back the courts. Resist, now more than ever.
Exactly. I just posted an article from February, where the ACLU stated: "You may not deport a U.S. citizen, period," ACLU attorney Lee Gelernt, deputy director of the group's Immigrants' Rights Project, told NPR. "The courts have not allowed that, and they would not allow it." 😂 as if trump cares
And does. It needs to be what can we do to fix it. It cannot be wait for midterms. Like Russia invading Ukraine, Biden was right about threat to democracy. People just don't understand what democracy covers
There is no bottom.
He is he made himself the dictator on day 1 just like he said
and is...
He is. He is getting away with it because there is nothing and no one to stop him. The time to stop him was a while past and the people who were responsible failed.
It's time to stop paying taxes and maybe stop showing up for work.
Thank you. The better response is "I'm going to do everything I can to keep him from doing that." And then raise holy hell.
Until someone stops them........
In one generation hence looking back this will be the whole point. TY for posting the it. TY for pointing out THE OBVIOUS.
That's how I feel every time I see a " the courts say" or " they have him this time". It's times like this I wish I believed in Hell because there would be a special place for him and his syncophants l, Mar-a-lardo, Hell.
Share. WRITE & MAIL 9 LETTERS! Flood SCOTUS with millions of letters from US! We can ALL do this! John G. Roberts,Clarence Thomas,Samuel A. Alito,Sonia Sotomayor,Elena Kagan,Neil M. Gorsuch,Brett M. Kavanaugh,Amy Coney Barrett,Ketanji Brown Jackson C/O SCOTUS 1 First Street NE Washington DC 20543
He does
There wont be a midterm election...dems cant pretend this is just the status qou...it hasnt even been 100 days....what will be left?
Facts. Anyone who thinks we're voting our way out of this is either an idiot or in denial. Authoritarians do not get voted out of power. They get overthrown.
It's funny how they'll certainly accept (and beg for) donations from folks who aren't their constituents...
No rules or laws make a damn difference. YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE TO FIGHT FIRE WITH FIRE! A countercoup!
Most of the judiciary holding strong. But when it goes to SCOTUS, or should I say tRump's protection racket . . . . . . .
At this point what is going to stop him?
Someone equally unaffected by rules.
The real question is, how can he be stopped ? Is our system so weak we have no recourse?
And already has.
As long as the Supreme Court is willing to be co-conspiritors with the president, nothing can happen to him. It is a huge flaw in our system.
Or because he has already?
Why I lost all respect for Biden. He knew this before he left office. While failed SCOTUS & Congress gave him their power, Biden gave him the keys to destruction. That’s Biden’s world history legacy
Whenever the GOP does something terrible, some folks ALWAYS blaming the democrats. About 1/3 of registered voters did not bother so start there.
He has... and he will continue to do so
He is getting away with it all., cbwrong.blogspot.com?m=1
“Likely will”?!?! “Is”!!!
And in fact he IS doing it
Yes Andrew—say it like it is—help America wake up
And stop demanding "Impeachment" It's ignorant Impeachment was from before we had our Criminal Justice System And this just in, NO Criminal must FIRST be fired from their job to be arrested for proven crimes
He has. There is not that much that can be done. Any perceived instability will result in martial law. Trump was not playing cards, he was playing chess With MAGA & orgs like proud boys 100% behind him, the new reality is a new America Check mate America. Hold on though, it is going to be bumpy
He already is.
If the Constitution is to ever mean anything again, it’s time The Joint Chiefs intervene.
Because it’s allowed
…and in some instances just so far, already has.
And already is
With all the hoopla where is the mechanism to take trump to jail where he should remain until his last breath? Where is the Law!
Our other branches of government are supposed to check abuses of power of the executive branch but we get are empty phrases when they need to pass an impeachment and conviction and, handcuff him and retain him in prison until he is executed for treason.
He has. Period.
No he can’t and Won’t if the people DEMAND CONGRESS DO ITS JOB & SCOTUS ENFORCE ITS ORDER via CONTEMPT & ARREST!
What will it take for Senators or Congress to act? Protests do nothing. If you want to hurt 🍊💩 go after his image. He is producing a reality TV show. Once you see that it all makes sense. Chaos = good ratings. Last thing said during Zelinsky oval meeting was "that will be some good TV." 🤔
Yep I agree Republicans are letting this happen it all fall on them all of it
He must be stopped!!
Scary.
It is time to stop him.
He has shown he is very predictable we can expect his approach to continue.
Exactly. Stop needs to come from congress. Hard stop.🛑
We can keep saying "he'll never get away with it" because we will protest until the Trump regime is held accountable for every illegal thing they've done.
Finally someone saying the truth instead of this nonsense “Rule of Law” sound bite. We are a lawless country at this point.
He is willfully ignoring the courts and the Constitution - and he NEVER should have been allowed to run again after 1/6. What can be done now??
When 34 felony convictions are put aside so that a corrupt criminal can move into the White House, the rule of law no longer matters in this country, not even a little bit. Except for those of us who have no money. And because the rule of law is not honored, the Constitution will not be either.
It’s time fer whoever gets a clear shot to send it.
Not "he can and likely will". But "he has and will continue to". We need stop acting surprised when things get worse. We should assume the worst and act accordingly now. We only see what is being reported and not what actually happens behind the scenes.
This.
At some point, the reality of what needs to be done will dawn on the American people.
I also love how people would always get mad when someone said “ he won’t go to jail, he gets away with everything, he’s above the law…….” Well, guess what? He does get away with everything and is never held accountable. He is destroying our country and NO ONE is stopping him.
It’s way past time if you ask me.
Not the statement we want to hear. Coming from you, holds its weight.
#ICE isn't "deporting" immigrants, it is kidnapping them. #DOGE isn't "fixing" the government, it is dismantling it. #Trump isn't "helping" Americans, he is retaliating against them. Pam Bondi isn't "upholding" the Constitution, she is ignoring it. #FuckTrump #Resist #Felon47
He is and has been. We live in authoritarian America now.
laws don't enforce themselves
He has already. Pay attention.
He already did! And because no one is outraged and branding the knee, he will not be.
Until the Repukelicans find their balls. He is not going to get slowed down. What is going to get them to save the Democracy?
Lock him up!
Ye have little faith. THIS MUST NOT STAND!
And?
He already is.
Trump has done every horrible thing he said he would and lots of other horrible things he didn’t say he would do. He won’t stop.
He has become unfettered from democracy and is about to go full on Stalin.
Must be stopped, one way or another
That's my brother in law. It started with "they can't touch my social security or medicare without Congress" and he is still drinking the Kool-Aid.
So do just have an uprising and have him turn the military on the American people. What do we do? I am seeing no other options. Does anybody have answers
If he did that, it would be the end of him!
Apparently, the laws don't apply to him, so I really don't see any other recourse than an uprising. I'm just thinking South Korean style justice
The question comes down to whether the state national guards will follow the governors of their state or the president of the United States
I guess we have to find out, right? This can not go on
Sadly, it seems that way. I don’t understand y the courts aren’t taking stronger actions. This administration has been mockingly defying them over and over again
The Felon openly defies SCOTUS orders and his Republican minions in congress do nothing - we have a constitutional crisis.
He is.
We need to use the 2A and end this for good.
That's what it's there for!
No accountability whatsoever!!😡
He already is. Are you having trouble with the reality of how fucked up this is because right there with you.
Lo and behold, a hermetically sealed, hundreds of years old document didn’t break out of containment and magically stop this!
🥹
His life story is “…and I got away with it”
Let’s give the Supreme Court all the credit it deserves for this. That immunity ruling was just great you dumb💩s.
I'm sick to death of hearing "unconstitutional" as if anyone, anyone, ANYONE will hold him accountable for his unconstitutional and unconscionable actions.
What do US citizens do now?
Sadly you are correct
Rise up!!!
So, America was all a big lie then? Nation of laws? Patriotism? Justice? Constitution? America, land of the brave, home of the free? It really is a farce carried on this far until the farcical showed us it really was?
And is already doing it
And don't bother with "impeach him" since the impeachment "jury" Senate can't be depended upon to be at least 66% ethically constitutionally lawful. We all have seen how he turns a hung jury into "completely innocent". 😡
This Congress won’t even start the impeachment proceedings anyway. We need to get rid of Johnson first.
NOT LIKELY. CERTAINLY.
Looking for the magic idea to make this change... how much of this country needs to be shut down to make this regime respect the rule of law ?
🎯
He stole our national secrets and sold them. He attacked our capital. He can and will do whatever he wants.
Thank you!
and already has.
The damn SCOTUS should immediately haul that orange tinted idiot before it and hold him in contempt for not getting Garcia returned ASAP. Keeping him as a SCOTUS detainee and not letting him out until Garcia returns would be tres cool.
Absolutely.
Precisely! Do you remember the days when the US had an independent and impartial judicial system? 😞
Will Chief Justice Roberts ever admit his court’s grievous mistake of giving Trump immunity protections for “official acts”?? Probably not, since Trump could send Roberts to jail in El Salvador.
He will probably after it’s too late to stop the monster they created.
He already has.
He will try.
Every time. The law doesn't matter anymore if no one enforces it.
He told us EXACTLY what he would do. I blame everyone that voted for this.
Along with those who didn't vote at all.
Whenever I hear someone say that, I reply with “so what? Nobody’s done anything about it yet, not likely they will
death camps are coming for brown people 2A exercise it before you can't do shit
Yep, this is his position. Each time he's not stopped, the evil 🍊 monster grows.
Is it time for revolution yet?
Past time!
#IsHeDeadYet
If checks and balances are gone, all that is left is the anger of the people. That anger must be backed by action or it is useless. So I ask, what action is appropriate?
I propose that we withdraw our consent, the consent of the governed, from these people chng.it/VHfHbdfpYg
He can, he will, and he has. The country we all loved is dead. Time to give birth to a new one.
