Trump gets held in contempt, pardons himself, and then it takes six months to run if he's allowed to pardon himself from contempt through the courts
If Trump tries to pull an Andrew Jackson, it would fall to me and the other US citizens to protest and be so disobedient that paying the bills is the lesser of the 2 evils.
I really hope it doesn't come to that, but if does that he will have broken the checks and balances that give our government legitimacy. And at that point, all bets are off and we, as citizens of the US, will need to decide which side of history we are going to be on. (Fuck I hate this timeline)
In the case of neighbors vs neighbors, we are lacking general arms, meal team six, and the militias.
Excuse my bluntness but nothing. Americans will do fucking nothing. They are the frog slowly being boiled
We know what is happening. We have a minority MAGA/Nazi party with unelected leaders out here popping Nazi salute.
It cannot be fixed politically. We just have to wait until the tread on the wrong right and hope things don't get that violent when we have to throw them out of office.
Half the frog knows.
Ignorance would be a blessing.
I dunno if a judge has the power to garnish money from federal accounts.
Either way it's a cluster fuck.
What happens if they don’t listen to the court order?
Hopefully it results in US Marshalls arresting Trump for contempt as law requires
Do you really believe that has any chance of happening?
You don't need to actually arrest Trump himself, just arrest anyone giving the orders.
Hopefully...
Checks Supreme Court verdicts
Official act? Yup
Fuuuuck
Doesn't he still owe a bunch of cities for campaign rallies?
Yeah but there's reasons those laws don't apply to him when they would apply to any non rich person who isn't the puppet of oligarchs.
