No he didn't. Oh, he says he did, but those Democrats should ignore it and continue working until the orange asshole has to send in his DOGE-stapo. It's not a legal firing.

I assume we’ll all just sit around and do nothing? Maybe file another court challenge for him to ignore?

30 minutes later and I still haven't figured out how to join. How do I get a registration token?

I will amend it to my previous comment.

By "we" he means "other people".

But he's Guy Fawkes, head of the Anonymous Gang.

"you! You in the handcuffs we placed on you! Why are you not overthrowing this assclown for us?!? We expect better from our discards"

Hopefully when dems get in, they will do the same thing, then after that and they have the majority, create actual laws preventing this shot from ever happening again. If trump was smart he'd be doing that now himself but he doesn't have foresight

[–] Waldowal@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

The laws don't seem to matter. It takes too long to enforce them and then the damage is done. Afterwards, Trump pardons whoever he needs to, or calls it an "official act" and no one pays for it.

This will be how our government will work for the foreseeable future. There will be a "cold war" on which administrations can weaponize this the most.

You realize there is no next time, right? We aren't in a Democracy anymore.

[–] LuxSpark@lemmy.cafe 15 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

They did absolutely nothing after Trump 1.0.

[–] Sirus@lemm.ee 12 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago) (1 children)

Yep, I'm aware. I wanted Bernie but you know.... elitist asshats....

[–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 4 points 6 hours ago

That's how I knew we were screwed. We can't even fight the DNC from screwing us over, how we going to fight fascism?

“Hopefully” here is doing a lot of work for you. I have 0 expectation of fair elections going forward.
