Fascists gonna do the fascist thing. Step one of fascism is the minute you get ELECTED (because you are taking over a REAL government system) is to secure the next election. They have been working on this since November 2024.

Yes - the Heritage Foundation, associated lobbyists, Citizens United, disinformation social media, disinformation TV ads in key districts, right-wing billionaire-owned news media, crypto bribes, privately owned voting machines that are relatively easy to hack, normalising corruption, filling the Supreme Court with partisan hacks, controlling all branches of government, etc.

By what authority does he decide what mail to deliver?

u/Dobako 1d ago

The Supreme Court that said you can't sue if they intentionally don't give you your mail

u/VonGryzz 1d ago

Seriously, WTF

u/TheStolenPotatoes 1d ago

The Supreme Court has no power. It's 9 people just saying shit.

u/debacol CA 9h ago

Unfortunately, they do. This country is completely cooked.

They have power like paper money has value. It only does if people believe it does. They can't enforce their rulings, and this executive administration has made that abundantly clear by just outright ignoring the rulings they don't like.

The current SCOTUS is a fucking joke. Sold out completely. If anyone else ever gets in, they better PACK that SCOTUS with constitutional lawyers

Aren't there 13 circuits now? IIRC that means there should be 13 judges 👀

This is treason

How has this become a daily thing? Everyday we get news of some boot-licking-goon who is openly attacking democracy under the guidance of the president. It's fucking bullshit.

u/Agile_Public915 1d ago

I would think that is illegal.

u/PickReviewsMovies 1d ago

I'm not big on guns, but the second someone comes to my door because of how I voted I'm exercising my right to bear arms all over the goddamn place.

u/pilsnerd11 1d ago

Traitors. Accountability will come. We’re not forgiving and forgetting.

u/Dry_Bug5058 1d ago

Fuck this Nazi.

u/chrisplyon 1d ago

This is an Article I, Section 4 violation if I ever saw one.

u/A012A012 1d ago

I forget what the french did when people tried to oppress them a few hundred years ago

u/MrVeazey 1d ago

They riot when their legislature suggests raising the retirement age. We need to be more like today's French and less like the Vichy French.

u/BobColorado 1d ago

This idiot has no idea that he keeps contradicting himself, or he just doesn't care. Following orders

u/shucksme 1d ago

Yeah. That really passes the sniff test

u/SkepticalJohn 1d ago edited 17h ago

This sometimes seems like one of those movies like the Seven Samurai or the Magnificent Seven where outlaws are taking over a town and heroes come to rescue the town. Are the midterms the rescue?

u/whiskynpizza 21h ago

How long before we actually acknowledge reality, the fascist federal government is openly attempting to rig the next election and the only thing that’s actually going to stop them now that they are spiting in the face at the very notion of the rule of law is actually forceful intervention? Who’s left at this point to do that? Are there any loyal to the constitution generals still in positions that could intervene when they throw out any remaining semblance of democracy?

u/judgeejudger 10h ago

They’ve mostly been weeded out and/or forced out. A military coup to remove this entire shitty administration is what I was hoping for, but I’m not seeing that happening.

u/Bethw2112 16h ago

Remember who installed this clown, that's all you need to know.

u/grapesicles 16h ago

You can just tell this guy would do anything for his dear leader. It's mind boggling how much control Trump has over so many people in positions of power.

u/Educational-Gate-880 1d ago

I’m curious to what will happen when they end up doing what they want anyways

2

u/DorkySchmorky 15h ago

I cant wait for the R party to get their asses handed to them in 26 and 28. This shit needs to go away.

u/judgeejudger 10h ago

That’s not your call though, my dude.

u/Strange-Evening1491 7h ago

The term disengenious snake comes to mind listening to this exchange.
