It's what happens when clueless racist idiots install a narcissistic megalomaniac into the highest office of the land then immediately dig trenches, barricades and parapets to defend against the folks who are asking them why would they ever elect a known felon, a fraud, a sexual predator, a tax cheat, a thief that stole top secret gov't documents, an adulterer and a racist fascist whose greed is only surpassed by his desire to permanently install himself as Lord and Master of what once was a very successful democracy.

If the Repugnants finagle to make him POtuS in 28, civil war will break out bigtime.

Nah.

People are relatively comfy.

Look at the No Kings rallies. Fizzled out 6 months into his term.

Trump and his team know this.

The Florida judicial system let Epstein off very easily. Covering for a pedophile makes you complicit. Good job Meatball! DeSantis got people to focus on Disney instead of Trump. Basically, covered for the guy with his silence in the matter.

Figures DeFascist would pay tribute to a racist shitbag like Hulk Hogan. Trump has emasculated Ron so thoroughly, he can’t even capitalize on this Epstein files scandal to position himself as the next leader of the GOP. Hey Ron and Casey, where is that 10 million bucks? and the misappropriated 450 million of Florida taxpayers funds for Alligator Alcatraz with no Federal reimbursement all for a political statement.

Oh, sure, like Trump will just stay, nobody will GAS. You know, a lot of times you are just out to lunch.

MAGA's Al Capone says... this is a nice company you got there. Be a shame if anything happened to it.
See, for MAGA, it's all about central planning, the corruption, and the bribes. They don't hate America, they just want to grab it by the !@#$%.

It turns out, the judge chosen is an openly gay black man appointed by Obama!

LMAO!

Character assassination incoming. Take cover! I can hear him and MAGA cultists now! "Woke! Woke!!" "Rigged!, Racist judge!!! So unfair! Everyone's out to get Meeeee!!!

Is there a word for a combination of Shadenfreude AND Karma?

Trump denies disaster aid for Maryland. Apparently, Trump did approve disaster aid for West Virginia. Gee!, I wonder what the difference is?

Fizzled out? There was only one planned No Kings rally which took place on Flag Day, June 14., five months into Trumps term. You're really reaching for negativity to say it fizzled out. The No Kings site still exists with current links to other ways to get involved.

Immigration agents told a teenage US citizen: ‘You’ve got no rights.’ He secretly recorded his brutal arrest

Video from Kenny Laynez-Ambrosio, 18, puts fresh scrutiny on the harsh tactics used to reach the Trump administration’s ambitious enforcement targets

Trump's GICEstapo doing their thing...seems likely it's going to escalate...

Video footage of the incident captured by Laynez-Ambrosio, an 18-year-old US citizen, appears to show a group of officers in tactical gear working together to violently detain the three men*, two of whom are undocumented. They appear to use a stun gun on one man, put another in a chokehold and can be heard telling Laynez-Ambrosio: “You’ve got no rights here. You’re a migo, brother.” Afterward, agents can be heard bragging and making light of the arrests, calling the stun gun use “funny” and quipping: “You can smell that … $30,000 bonus.”

Audio in the video catches the unidentified officers debriefing and appearing to make light of the stun gun use. “You’re funny, bro,” one officer can be overheard saying to another, followed by laughter.

Another officer says, “They’re starting to resist more now,” to which an officer replies: “We’re going to end up shooting some of them.”

From the "agents"

"“Just remember, you can smell that [inaudible] $30,000 bonus.”"

So what, 10K for each person they arrest?

I know this used to happen occassionally but under the trump administration it seems routine:

"You can smell that ... $30,000 bonus". Wtf! No wonder ICE's budget was increased and the agents have no problem rounding up and treating these people like animals. 30k bonus for picking up a gardener.

It seems bonuses being paid by DHS is turning ICE into bounty hunters!

In normal times, any LEO who told someone they'd stopped that they "had no rights" would face immediate termination. But these agents are obviously not worried they'll face any consequences and are, in fact, anticipating a time very soon when they'll get to start shooting people.

ICE is offering a signing bonus of $10,000 upon returning to service; another $10,000 bonus for those who apply by Aug. 1; and annual $10,000 bonuses, for up to three years, for those who take part in Operation Return to Service.

What could possibly go wrong with Trump administration mandated use of AI to make govt more efficient:

FDA employees say the agency's Elsa generative AI hallucinates entire studies

The federal agency introduced Elsa last month, boasting about the AI tool's ability to increase efficiency at the FDA.

More like beg.
Judges have no power over the Executive in this country. SCOTUS has seen to that.

Yes, SCOTUS has undercut its own authority.

However, we can still promote the idea that the president must follow the law. Without political power, you need the cudgels that you can get in the realm of public opinion, and in this case, "lawless president who refuses to follow judges as the Constitution requires."

There are a lot of low information people out there. Better to try to keep them believing in the ideal of America, where people have to follow the law, instead of simply giving into nihilism and completely tuning out.

Kinda his thing. Starting to wonder if he works for one of the mainsteam media outlets now. Seems pretty determined to sanewash away with them. Is that crowd size butthurt I hear?

That claim made me smile too. I just checked my phone, yup confirmed I got a email on Thursday from Champlain Valley Indivisible letting me know of six different protest events scheduled between the 26th and August 2nd.

Public outcry and disgust seem to follow Diapered Dementia Don wherever he goes, regardless of which side of the border he's on. Can't say I know of any Dems that have this problem, but hey let's keep blaming them for not being in power instead of focusing on the fascist wiping his ass with the Constitution after shitting on our future.

Example, Scotland.

When Trump throws an event, no one shows up. Ok, that's not fair. Tens, nee' - dozens of people show up. And at least two would be assassins have at this point. I'm sure we all remember the stellar turnout for his inauguration and little birthday parade.
