These scholars pointed to other Trump actions they say blatantly broke the law, such as freezing trillions of dollar in federal spending and dismissing members of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) and Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), even though they were confirmed by the Senate and had several years left in their terms.
“Without any doubt Donald Trump is the most lawless and scofflaw president we have ever seen in the history of the United States,” said Laurence Tribe, one of the nation’s leading constitutional scholars and a professor emeritus at Harvard Law School.
Tribe said Trump has carried out “a blitzkrieg on the law and the constitution. The very fact that the illegal actions have come out with the speed of a rapidly firing Gatling gun makes it very hard for people to focus on any one of them. That’s obviously part of the strategy.”
If you can’t hold someone accountable for their actions in a court of law, there is no law.
Eventually you are left with the law of force
This is what he learned in the 8 years since he was first elected. That laws aren’t real and no one wants to enforce then. When you impeach someone twice and nothing of consequence happens, of course they stop fearing consequence.
Also, the dude isn’t going to live much longer. He probably figured he’d turn the crazy up to 11 and tear off the knob, because why the hell not?
If he dies and JD-Vance replaces him do you expect any improvements?
No, not necessarily. At this point, everything is so very compromised in his favor, they might make Dear Leader a martyr for just stroking out after his last hamberder and try to put images of his stupid mug on everything, who knows. Ronnie Raygun was HATED when he left office and the cons did everything to try to restore that image (putting out stickers/buttons, even: “Stop lying about the 80s”, they pleaded). They even managed to rename an airport after that criminal.
Now that they have captured nearly everything, they might try to do the same to the orange dickhead, and might even be able to pull it off.
Fingers crossed.
From your lips to gods ears
He learned his lesson, just not the one anyone wanted him to learn.
This is why I take a behavioral science lens to so much of politics. They will learn the lesson you teach them. This is why principles are so important and shouldn’t be partisan or ignored.
It’s so simple that it’s kind of maddening that so few people get it.
I mean, there’s definitely still law. Just for little people with no resources.
“Law and order” was always code for “brutalize the minorities because we can.”
Fines have always been code for “you must be this rich to play.”
