So he gets to flaunt the law because he's vindictive? Not a system I wanna live in.


That's why I'm worried. To me it's obvious he was extremely upset with all those court cases against him, and now the courts and the Fed Chair are just straight ignoring him. So is Putin.


Yeah I get personally being worried but it's a weird thing to post online because the implication shared is that it'd be better if he [was allowed to]* just abuse emergency powers.

What’s the alternative? Roll over and let him do whatever he wants?


You have to force the issue. At the end of the day, congress will either stand by and allow the president to ignore the court, arrest judges, send his flying monkeys to intimidate them… or not.

If the president doesn’t back down, we’ve crossed the rubicon.


We already crossed that rubicon Jan 6th


I was going to say, now is the best tome to double down and escalate. Never back down.
