What does a TRUMP presidency look like?

[crazy canuck]

I know you know this, but for the rest of our group - A Federal Judge ruled today that his order to release federal grant money was violated by the White House and the court noted that persons who fail to follow an order of the court are generally found to be in criminal contempt.

The Trumpists are unlikely to back down.  The US is days away from a full blown constitutional crisis (if it has not reached that point already).

For further clarity -

if this happens, the implication is not just that the federal judiciary is no longer a functioning constitutional check, it also means that the United States Congress has been rendered irrelevant as well.  Congressional power to pass laws is meaningless if Executive has no obligation to carry them out. The power of the purse is meaningless if the Executive machinery can simply collect what taxes it wishes and deploy them as it wishes.  There is no purpose for a separate law making body if the Executive can legislate by Executive Order

That is why the implication is a fully accomplished coup

Yes, and I recommend everyone read the opinion piece I gifted to the group from the former Treasury Secretaries  in today's NYTimes, much to the same point

I am a bit surprised they are coming to Eric Adams aid of all people.

Trump has shown a soft spot for corrupt Democrats before.  I think he just respects corruption.

And he just fucking pardoned Rod Blagojevich. What the fuck? I guess he is a bipartisan asshole.

I don't understand. Does he just do things because it is the wrong thing to do?

Can we expect a Bob Menendez pardon tomorrow?

People who are pardoned can make useful ally?

Tulsi Gabbard has a certain use to him.

The good old days when workers were not so uppity and would work for food and lodging.

And we would have gotten away with it to if it weren't for that meddling Teddy Roosevelt.

Fucking Democrats!

Perhaps we might be well served if the POTUS began watching more of the Russian media (as he is well known for doing of the US media). They have already shifted from cautiously optimistic rhetoric about his coming into office to outright mocking ridicule.

I think that is the only way you can consistently pick the evil/bad option.
