Even if Donnie ends up never being punished, I sure hope the Democrats don't puss the fuck out on using every tool in the legal arsenal to get every single asshole responsible for shit like this and give them maximum sentences.
Don't worry, they will. Its Schumer and Bookers dream to piss and shit the bed so everything can "return to normal".
Only if we get rid of the establishment and corporate/AIPAC owned Democrats. And even then only maybe. Trump was allowed to turn ICE into an extremely well funded personal army that doesn't swear to uphold the Constitution. Even if Democrat Socialists sweep the midterms, it seems likely that will result in him getting even more extreme in ignoring the laws and court orders.
What happens if he decides to use the imaginary authority he granted himself over revoking citizenship with his last illegal executive order to declare that all the Democrats in congress who weren't born in the US or had a parent from any country he decides to call an enemy are no longer US citizens and send large groups of ICE goons to kidnap them?
If anyone else did something like that the President could call on the US Military to defend them, but he clearly wouldn't do that when he's the one ordering it. It's very possible that since so much of the Republican party is fully owned by him, Congress wouldn't have the votes to do anything against it. If it's something done quickly and quietly and those representatives are removed before Congress can act they certainly wouldn't, and even if they managed to and did have the votes the President is still Commander-in-Chief.
To put the military in a position where obeying him is clearly wrong they'd have to vote to remove him entirely, which would take two thirds of the Senate and by default promote JD Vance to President.
Civil War it is then.
Sounds like you have a purity test you want the democrats to pass. Like you want to be represented. We dont do that here.
you will get what you are given, you will shut the fuck up, and you will vote blue no matter who.
I'm confused. You say "here", but then claim to be from a country being bombed by trump. What's your nationality?
Huh? Not sure where I said I was from somewhere other then the y'all zone in the USA. The USA does attack me and my people through the police state (war on drugs) and the economic system on a daily basis. Perhaps I was talking about that in a comment you read.
This is what I was asking about. It sounds like you were saying that you were in one of the various countries this country bombs or otherwise attacks on a daily basis.
Believing the democrats will do that is like believing the Avengers will come save you
