the pieces are falling into place...

the orange asshole and his very own cardinal richelieu (Bondi) are looking into arresting supreme court justices and looking into using the military for domestic enforcement.

the last two pieces the need for complete control.

I keep saying, it will be less a civil war and more of a revolution

I predicted 2 months ago that within 3 to 6 months he will order the military or the national guard to fire on protestors.

if all these things come to fruition, you can kiss the midterms goodbye.

he knows full well what he's going in his fever dreamed mind or at least he's egged on by miller (more likely the case), who whispers in his ear that he will go to prison after being impeached if the dems get control of congress.

and if there is one thing that simply terrifies the orange asshole, it's going to prison.

he's cornered and he knows it.

will there be more strongly worded letters? will the supremes continue to sit on their hands? will congress and the repukes that supposedly hate him speak up?

only time will tell.

If unconstitutional is just a subset of illegal, he's off the hook. And unconstitutional actions aren't necessarily statutory crimes. It's messy. Thanks a lot, SCOTUS.

Why do you think the Repugs are all still staying silent? Because they won't need the elections to stay in office.

when you make a deal with the devil, make sure you have on asbestos clothing.

they don't and it will be interesting to watch them twist and turn to justify things.

They had best start believing that Article II intends to wipe out the members of Articles I and III of the Constitution... along with the rest of Constitution. President Bukele of Auschwalvador has beds waiting for all of them at CECOT.

If he can get kicked out of power…I’m betting a firing squad is his fate.

not buying the innumerable talking heads saying that somehow he doesn't (e.g. dementia, etc.). People forget, he doesn't want to go to prison, so will do whatever it takes not to.

that with him sending the Military down to the border, and declaring the entire swath of land at the border a "military base" that it gives those military members and border Patrol, the free will to just shoot any immigrant trying to cross the border. The Military sure took enough soldiers and military and WAR machinery down there......

Not a civil war, or revolution, an outright MILITARY COUP by a TYRANT/DICTATOR. Look at what he did to just pose for a photo op of him holding a bible up in the air......

If we think that the Trumphumping Voters were beyond Stupid........LOL.....Just look at all of the Republican U.S. Senators, U.S. Republican House Members and the Republican U.S. Supreme Court Justices.
They ALL are so F'ing stupid to realize THAT THERE IS NO Legislative or Judicial Branch of government in a TYRANNY/DICTATORSHIP
He is already kicking the voters under the bus, knowing that he will rig elections even more so they have outgrown their usefulness.
What Makes the Senators, House Members and USSC justices think that they will be any different?????? It's his M.O...his entire life.

He cannot let those continue as they threaten his regime.

He is no longer afraid of going to prison.
The SC has given him a free pass for the rest of his life.

They will make some claim about national security and cancel the 2026 midterms. People will protest. He will declare martial law. Rounds up political opponents. Except for the protests this is exactly what happened in 1930's Germany.
