Gotta get people gone. Control, control, control. Mine, all mine. Do as I say. Jobless. Random firings. No reason(s) given. What the hell. My decisions. Get gone. My choices. Say goodbye.
tRump has been busy with firing all these people so as to put his minions in. There are legal constraints that require due process through laws. But he’s completely oblivious, or so it seems, wrapped around these firings to get people out. Why? Is there a greater end game or is he truly unconcerned? It doesn’t matter to him because he’s the President and absolute immunity. ABSOLUTE. IMMUNITY. *That* is why he’s not worried. He can do any damn thing he wants to. Thank you, SCOTUS. Oh, lordy the thought of him wrecking our country is horrifying.
We’re only getting hints of what this is going to turn into. Just hints. But I would bet that it’s just going to get worse and worse. I’m hoping it doesn’t mean we are going to have to be barricaded inside the apartment and hope our food lasts until the next battle is done and we can possibly get to the stores. They’re going to have to protect themselves if the country goes nuts, too. And yes, I’m serious. What are the chances of a class action suit against the government. Since it’s not *specifically* Trump that is doing things (hi, Elon) would there be any chance of something like this? Sure, he doesn’t take a hit for it, but against the *government*? I guess it might depend on how tough a lawyer you can find and the money for the tough lawyer you’ll need?
Maybe things won’t be quite as bad as I was imagining. Maybe. We might not be able to get to DonOld and his gazillions (or Elon with even more gazillions) but there will be other factors at play that *don’t* involve the Mango Mandarin directly. I was getting nervous thinking about all the possible things he could do and the legal system couldn’t touch him. Of course. that’s a pretty long list of what he could do but there’s not yet a list of what he can’t do. I hope there is one.
So the question still remains – is he completely free of legal backlash? I don’t know quite enough about law to be sure but we can guess together. He’s shredding our government into pieces and there are no guardrails on him. He can say what he wants. And lordy, all the Executive Orders he’s signing and putting out there! I’m surprised he has time to do anything except sign the EOs. Ha, and I’m surprised he hasn’t complained about writer’s cramp. That would be so perfect if he did. Whine, whine, whine. The Confused Carrot is good at that but then he’s had lots of practice! “If you’re not with me, you’re against me.” We all know which one we’d rather be! If we could just get all the apathetic voters to think that way then we might be able to build something to push against the Mango Mandarin and the GOP and we’re not gonna take it. It’s challenging pushing against the current status quo but again, it means waking up the people who are resigned to our country being in hell and possibly staying in hell. It’s hot down there. I’d rather not.
******And now, please read a very special request from our awesome boss******
Friends, I am forced to self-promote and ask you for money. We had a bad year compared with 2023 and the end of the year has been catastrophic. Traffic died on November 5. We are a small blog and completely self-supporting by ad revenue, donations, and subscriptions. If you can afford a monthly subscription that would help us out. If you can make a small donation, likewise. Our only goal is to stay in business and give you the best content we can generate. You are the wind beneath our wings. Thank you. Ursula
Susan, Sphincter Face is gaslighting, with the help of the usual suspects, about his “absolute immunity.” I’m giving you and readers a simple explanation from “The Hill,” but there are some good legal sites that go into more depth. 47’s actions must still be within his powers in the Constitution and within law. Sphincter’s EO binge is including things the Constitution specifically empowers only Congress to do…no matter how much he screams that “SCOTUS said I can,” it didn’t toss out the separation of powers!! 🤪
Every goddamn toddler that has ever lived thinks they rule everything. Most find out that isn’t the case depending on the system of discipline their parents employ. Mine, along with EVERY adult I knew, brought ass whipping to the table no matter WHERE you were pitching the fit. This mutherfucker was NEVER taught anything but grifting and bullying. If he’d been born poor, he would have been taught. Unfortunately, he and muskrat never encountered anything but coddling and indifference. Hey phuckheads here’s a piece of reality for your sorry nazi asses: somewhere in space and time YOU ARE ALREADY DEAD. See how ineffective money and power is then. No one gets out alive. No one, and you are no exception. Put that bee up your ass. Tick phucking tock you evil pieces of shit. Tick tock. Tick tock. Tick tock. Tick tock. Tick tock. Tick tock. Tick Tock!!! Getting a clue yet assholes?
I’ve said this several times on this blog in the last few days. Trump has immunity for official acts only. He does not have immunity for unconsitutional acts. And more importantly, the fact that he has personal immunity does not mean that everything he does is LEGAL, it only means that if it is NOT legal, he cannot be charged while in office But it’s still not legal. If something is not legal, it’s not the law of the land and doesn’t have to be followed. That’s why they are doing all this shock and awe stuff because they have force but they don’t have legal authority. Trump’s personal immunity is not the central problem. The central problem is the rule of law and the enforcement of it.
On another but not unrelated front, there are expected to be at least three special elections to the House in 2025. If enough people are sufficiently pissed off (and a recent Iowa election shows signs that they may well be) we could regain control of the House this year.

There it is, there’s that inane dreck (hi suzie) that I crave when I click on this junk site, and the message board too! (bonus)
Keep it coming snowflakes!
MAGA!
I think it was a mistake to place so much power in the hands of a single person
I’m sure that the framers assumed only honorable people would seek and attain such high office. Had they been able to foresee the Current Occupant, I’m sure some of the language of the Constitution would have been tweaked a bit.
I’m wondering if someone can bring a case before The Supreme Court to get greater defined clarity about the court means about official acts?!
