And helpless. That’s what they want!

Start acting and stop REACTING! Do something no matter how small!

For starters
Call your congress ppl
Post what they are doing to all SM sites you might be on
Don’t engage maga, it’s useless and aggravating as hell!
And…most importantly STOP SPENDING ANY MONEY on anything except absolute necessities!

But then there's the Supreme Court.

In certain situations, the ICC has jurisdiction over the US and its citizens even though the US has not joined the Rome Statute. Some of these situations include when a citizen of a non-member country is connected with war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide on the territory of an ICC member country.

But we know what would happen if the ICC convicted Trump or any of his minions of anything.

jurisdiction. And that is why I think AG Garland went all the way to The Hague and hired Jack Smith instead of an attorney within the US to be special counsel. I also think, when Garland looked at the stolen documents, he realized F47s crimes went beyond US borders and involved other national and international actors.

Watch what NATO is doing and read foreign news sources. BBC is not foreign news.

Only recently have some countries amended their laws to include cyber crimes and election interference.

I guess we'll find out if Separation of Powers and that Checks and Balances stuff in the U.S. Constitution is still working. If the courts won't do anything, things look bleak for the country.

That's been true for quite a while when Republicans control both. They love groveling to what they perceive as a strongman.

During Trump's first term, some GOP congressman said, "We serve at the pleasure of the president." I guess he skipped civics class in high school.

Trump is clearly trying to reshape the judicial branch to be subordinate to him as well.

Actually, it does as a matter of the mechanics of governance.

Otherwise, the article is spot-on: “Voters decided in November to put all federal power in the hands of Republicans. That’s done."

In fact, other than the courts, Democrats’ sole recourse is a battle over public opinion, which at best will realize minimal, marginal success, if any.

Thing is, over 70% of the voting electorate (259,454,702 (as of 11/04/24) ) did not vote for Republicans
(iow, 75,017,626 for Harris plus the rest who could vote but didn't).
Note:
many of the current 74,000,000 minors will be of voting age by the midterms and 2028. Which means that if they have time to pay attention to their own lives but not politics, they'll still feel the negative effects of this 4 year period's politics, and during that time they'll start looking to those with answers/solutions for their lives.
We have to make sure the Democrats and the youth in the DNC (David Hogg's demographic) are out there offering what new voters need for hope in the future.

The richest person in the world just bought himself into our government and is running rough shod over it. And yet it seems there is less outrage and push back against Trump now, than there was in his first term, which is going to seem positively mild and boring after this one.

but that would be one way to resist. In particular, Democrats on armed forces and national security committees need to recruit sympathetic generals and other high ranking service people. And work out a way to save the Constitution by force if needed.

Fictional:

A cabal of generals plan a coup against the POTUS. Written by Rod Serling.



Non-fictional:

In 1919, the French secret services established a secret multi-million dollar war chest overseas in case France lost a war and needed to fund a "government-in-exile." Our side probably didn't do this thinking the Kremlin would never win. The US did have a stay-behind-agent (SBA) program for Alaska in case the USSR occupied it, as did some NATO countries under the "Gladio" program.
