Of course there is. Just takes a few Republican Senators to tell him stop or we’ll impeach you.
You’re probably too young to remember Richard Nixon.

Nixon....

Nixon....

Nope, not ringing a bell.

Wait...wasn't he a two sport athlete in college?? I think he played both football and basketball for some low level mid major. Other than that I don't know much about him or what he did after that. I sometimes lose track of players once they leave college.

I was promised there would be no more elections if Trump won last year.

I'm still waiting for the gulag construction to start. I've been hiding my democrat father in the basement since the election for fear of internment.

They may have built it in El Salvador. All ready for "home growns." (That would be your father)

I think some really bad precedents are being set that should alarm everyone. Ignoring court orders, especially SCOTUS orders, is not a direction we want to go. The pendulum swings both ways, and Trump is paving the way for it to swing back hard the other way when it does swing back. We still have elections every two years, and presidential elections every four years.

They wanted to own the Libs!! Now it's the Libs turn to own the MAGAs!! Let the executive orders run wild!!! First day in office!!!....

-Everyone that was laid off by DOGE is reinstated! With back pay!!

-DEI is reinstated! Everywhere! Effective immediately!

-Pronouns are back!

-biological men who identify as women can play any sport they want and use any restroom they want!

-Certain activist groups that we like, such as Queers for Palestine, are eligible for federal funding!!

-Masks must once again be worn in public, but all other clothing is optional!!

-All the borders are now completely open!! Just come on in!! And, once they're here, we'll let them vote if they want to!

And....who's going to stop any of this?? The Supreme Court?? The precedent has now been set! The Executive Branch no longer needs to listen to them or obey any rulings they don't like. There's no recourse and no enforcement if we just ignore it! In fact, we're going to create a new court! An Executive Court of the United States! They, and only they, will rule on all issues that concern the Executive Branch, and all the judges will have lifetime appointments, and the new Super-Lib/Woke President that just got elected gets to pick all of them!!


So....MAYBE we should do a better job of respecting the checks and balances that are in place, and maybe rethink whether or not we should be abandoning soem of our political norms. Because once that starts happening things can get out of hand. And anything the current administration does while in office, the next administration can also do when it's their turn, and sooner or later it will be.

Really good points XUBrew! Scary times ahead!

Stephen Miller does a pretty good job of outlining the scope of just the immigration crime that the Demoncrap crime syndicate has wrought on this country. These are real crimes, not manufactured crime designed to circumvent the will of the actual citizenry.

Waggy: Forget Stephen Miller, since you posted his video. The question for you is: Is Garcia a person charged with a crime in the US? If so, which crime? If he has not been charged, and has the papers to stay here, why was he arrested? Oh, yes, the Trumpsters admitted it was a "mistake." Why do fellow travellers like you continue to post lies?
