What are they actually doing in America to stop Trump?

There is obviously lots of media attention citing how appalling he is and all the vile nonsense he's been up to.
However, I see no effort being made by the American political system or the judiciary to actually stop the illegal and immoral acts he is carrying out and /or remove him from office.
Has any one any insight in to this?

Moii,are your eyes closed and your ears not hearing ? I really do not see how anyone would wish the mayhem and cruelty happening in the U.S. on any country . Why do you think we need a Trump leading our country ?What good has he done ?
There are many living in the U.S. who cannot afford health care, who are concerned about having enough to pay the rent,let alone worrying that they might be snatched out their home. These are citizens of the U.S. who are experiencing this and you want it for this country !!!

Trawling Facebook has thrown up quite a few posters who think we in fact need Trump himself to 'sort out' our country!

Clearly, they do not understand sovereignty - nor how authoritarianism or dictatorships ultimately function.

An elite cabal in order to protect itself will eventually attack and dispose of anyone, any demographic, that threatens its existence, so unless you are one of the elite, or at least a subdued minion whose role is to support the Executive without question, it will eventually get rid of you. It's already happening in the US.

Niemöller knew this...

What are they doing in the USA?
To the astonishment of many, the NRA is starting to complain about ICE trying to say that citizens may not carry guns to protests. The 2nd Amendment is 'doctrine' to them, and they won't give up their rights easily.
Unforseen twist.

Unforseen twist.

Indeed. Especially when you consider that some owners see guns as a necessary check against potential government overreach which I believe is a motive rooted in the historical intent of the 2nd Amendment.

I wonder why ICE are attempting this? Is it to bolster their claim that Alex Pettri was pointing a gun at them - when all the available evidence indicates he was holding his mobile 'phone whilst they wrestled his gun from its holster... and then shot him multiple times?

... maybe it's some of those hastily recruited ICE agents who shouldn't be carrying weapons?
