President Trump 2.0: The NEW one and only politics thread

Yeah, there's a lot of outrage. Not much else.

U.S. President Donald Trump's campaign-like speech at the Department of Justice on Friday sparked a fresh wave of alarm over the Republican's attacks on his critics, disrespect for the rule of law, and plans for his second term.

Trump—who was convicted of 34 felonies in New York before returning to the White House—slammed his perceived opponents as "scum" and "thugs," called efforts to hold him accountable for alleged criminal activity "bull----," and declared: "We will expel the rogue actors and corrupt forces from our government. We will expose... their egregious crimes and severe misconduct."

Trump's appearance with U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi and props promoting drug enforcement displayed his intent to remake the federal judiciary and fueled speculation that he will appoint Florida-based District Judge Aileen Cannon, who dismissed the classified documents case against him, to the nation's Supreme Court.

"Some of the most hallowed halls of justice in America were disgraced by the president of the United States, who has inappropriately installed his personal lawyers and other loyalists into leadership roles at the Department of Justice," said Lena Zwarensteyn, senior director of the fair courts program and an adviser at the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights.

"This reinforces what we knew: The independence of the department has been compromised. During his remarks, the president sought to undermine faith in our judicial system, attacked lawyers who support due process and the rule of law, and made it clear that he expects the attorney general and other leaders to use the full force and resources of the Justice Department to roll back our civil and human rights, target his enemies, andoperationalize a worldview that perpetuates white supremacy," she said. "The anti-immigrant rhetoric that both he and the attorney general used was reprehensible and unacceptable."

How about maybe let's do something about it all?

 

Love to hear an idea to go along with this post.

 

If it weren't for another chance to promote the taco bowl at Trump Tower, they'll freak on Cinco de Mayo. Probably think it's Mexican independence day. The number of times I had to fix that in stories in California papers, as well as explain it to higher editors not from the West Coast ...

 

What a guy

He voted for Trump. Now his wife sits in an ICE detention center.

So, win-win?

 

At the heart of GOP / Trumpist attacks on “DEI” is the assumption that nobody other than Straight, white, Christian men can actually accomplish anything without improper assistance.

US deports hundreds of Venezuelan immigrants despite court order

 

LOL. Courts have no power over the dictatorial executive branch. Neither does Congress. Checks and balances are for suckers.

 

Prayers and thoughts.

 

I hate that we have to root for things like this to happen, but that seems to be the only way for these a-holes to understand. FAFO. The leopard is coming for your face.

 

‘Lowest Ever Recorded’: CNN Drops ‘Staggering’ Poll Showing ‘Brutal Reality’ of Democrat Disapproval Ratings

When taken with the Trump ratings, there really should be no question that current Democratic leadership should step down, step aside - like they would do in a parliamentary system. It is clear that a big chunk of Harris voters and traditional Dem voters have zero confidence in the current leadership.

 

Thoughts and prayers.
