Already tried removing this judge. Hasn't been successful yet.

It doesn't matter. No one is going to stop his lunacy. Even if we fought back, we would have to fight MAGA paramilitary and the US Army.

I am trying to learn how to balance what looks like a normal life at the same time knowing we will spend the rest of our lives under an authoritian regime. I am also trying to make arrangements to get my children out of the country quickly when I need to. Especially my youngest who is increasingly no longer safe in at least 11 states.

Republicans aren't going to stop him and 2026 elections will be to late.

Imaround someone will stop his madness so don't despair. We do have to hope it's sooner rather than later though. I wouldn't be sure your army will back him but you (and we) are in need of some brave people doing their job to protect your democracy. I do see those people slowly, it feels very slowly, beginning to standing up and being counted.

Yes, they are enabling him that way. Our checks and balances have been highjack. It has taken them 40 years to get it all in place, but they were finally successful on corrupting all 3 branches of government.

According to the article what the Supreme Court is doing atm is to be too vague in its rulings, using words like "facilitate" as opposed to specific "who has a right to do what" to allow of more than one interpretation, so that both Trump and the Judiciary claim a victory.

I hope so. SC just agreed to hear arguments on his 14th Amendment case. They should have denied it immediately because it is the freaking Constitution. They keep letting him play the game, so they are complicit.

imaround I so hope it doesn't come to that.

CNN on the general issues. Ultimately will Trump take matters so far that the hold he has on the balance in the Supreme Court breaks.

Trump will undoubtedly respond by removing him from office.
