As Elon Musk is a naturalized immigrant AND was in the US on a visa obtained falsely (he never enrolled in Stanford, the basis of his student visa and then worked here illegally - no green card & then lied in his application) his assets should be confiscated and then deport his racist misogynistic ass back to South Africa. Then also there's his ongoing violation of the Logan Act for which he & Trump should be prosecuted.

The gutless Dems should be jumping on this RIGHT NOW, while there's still time to ship his grasping, power-hungry ass back to where he belongs.

Or wait until consumers are fed up with higher food prices or no food at all as a result of Trump and his gang running out of the country, those migrants who do the jobs Americans don’t want to do, can’t do, or can’t afford to do in agriculture, food processing, etc !

Isn't it true that Trump's wives and children fall into this plan as well?

Doesn't Melania have a sister, too? I'm not sure if she lives in the USA.

I’m sharing old facts on screen shots I’ve take the past 6 yrs from way back to present. Plz share your too. Maga need to be reminded of the facts about trump. Also today Trump warned everyone that he will prosecute anyone who exposes government corruption.

Now tell me , why would he say that if he didn’t plan bring complete corruption.

We all knew it would be his only reason to be president to drain all our accounts & merge our military to be Russias too etc but his voters need to see the facts. Now , then & always.

Simple, complex question. How can Trump get rid of the Constitution should he be so inclined? I've read a few things but I remain unsure. Um, I never expected to have to ask the question. Are there protections to keeping it or can he rip it up, as stated, just because he's an asshole, in 2022? The Times thought that comment was worth page 13 back in 22. Any clarification would be GREAT!!!

Read Bill Browder's two books. For a good description of the court system in Russia. Putin and his blessed always win in the courts. Just like an old fashioned monarch with divine right to rule, regardless of the written law. The law is what the Leader says it is.

Remember, Donnie has 6 of the 9 Justices bot and pd for. Any court in the land can be overruled by them. No need to "get rid" of the Constitution. Just have it interpreted the way Donnie (or Musk or Miller or Putin or Orban) directs.

Patrick Henry warned of this day in 1788. The President controls the might of the military to enforce whatever the "King" wants. Including the courts. Think the Supremes or Congress can stand against tanks?

One hope is that the military will rise up against him and stage a coup. He tried to do it with his own militia, why not do the same to him?

Barnation Station's avatar

I’ve read them. And I agree with your assessment of don’t need to get rid of it, go around it. The immunity issue seems moot now and the SCOTUS being more concerned about future presidents shouldn’t have ruled in retrospective form as they really didn’t bother with the actual crimes.

Same way he's trying to bypass Senate confirm & consent of all his picks. SCOTUS (thanks to McConnell) will always rule in his favor. He owns the majority in Congress & the Senate as well. None will stand up to Putin's latest devotee. At least half the military voted for Trump. And the effing Dems still play politics as if it's a fair, level playing field. It hasn't been for decades. The billionaire owned 4th estate has already conceded to the ChristoFascists.

Do not obey in advance. Always resist.

I believe all he has to do is declare martial law. If I'm remembering correctly, that will suspend the constitution.

He owns SCOTUS and the legislature. If he tosses it aside, who will stop him? We'd need rebellion greater than that we just saw in South Korea. More likely, we'd need a democracy inspired military coup d'etat w the support of American citizens disgusted with Trump & his cronies in every branch.

I wish state law enforcement, police chiefs from the major cities and towns would stand in solidarity with LAPD and, to quote Nancy Reagan, JUST SAY NO! DEFY the unconstitutional orders that he plans. How can we respect this felon?

Expand full comment
Nancy Potter's avatar

Many police chiefs, particularly in California, will say the same thing, because IT ENHANCES SAFETY. If immigrants are afraid to talk to the police because it might get them caught up in immigration sweeps, they don't report crimes even against themselves, allowing the criminals to continue to commit more crimes, and they won't show up as witnesses to crimes (or even auto accidents.) Part of good policing is knowing the neighborhood, and if immigrants won't talk to cops, the cops can't separate out the problem people from the peaceful people.

Excellent move in proactively communicating your intent to push back against Lucifer’s overreach. ¡Bravísimo! Very happy for your immigrant community there in LA. We Progressives all have to be as engaged as possible in this fight to not just be a resistance, but rather, a rebellion!

Well, so we wait to see how that affects my family - we are all here legally since 1983, 2 of my kids are citizens now, but since he obviously doesn't care about that I guess we should start expecting this policy to possibly affect us eventually if he gets his way ? One son works for the government, so he might be one of the first to have his job given to someone else ? Wonderful !

You state that his stance clashes with local and federal law enforcement agencies… but what the president elect says he is going to do also clashes with what gibberish he promises and other than his handpicked goons, perhaps the rest of the federal government agencies also disagree with the heinous actions! Ever think of that?
