Saying No To Trump

"I have an Article 2 where I have the right to do whatever I want as president."

Trump said that in June 2019. It is an exact quote; you can look it up. However, that is not what Article 2 says. Trump lied.

It makes perfect sense to do these things, and all the rest of what Trump has done, because this is what a leader does when he wants all the power in his hands. But it doesn't make common sense because it harms the people Trump promised to help, lowers America's standing in the world community, and gives aid and comfort to our enemies. This is what we have to contend with now: Trump doing whatever he likes (with fewer people to restrain him) and appointing people for loyalty above all else. People like Pam Bondi and Kash Patel, Pete Hegseth and Michael Walz. And this is exactly why Republicans are meeting outrage in their town halls — to the point that the RNC suggests they stop holding town halls. Well, they can run, but they can't hide. They FA'd; now they are FOing.

I won't go into each item I listed above; suffice it to say that they are all both factually wrong and damaging to America. The time to forewarn people has passed; the crisis is here. Analysis and discussion are pointless; the crisis is here. All that matters is what we will do about it.

People say the Democrats won't fight back. There's something to it. Ten of them voted to censure Al Green for correcting Trump during his address to Congress. Ten of them voted for the continuing resolution to keep the government running through September.1 The CR is, as Senate Minority Leader Schumer said, a very bad bill. But Schumer also said that shutting the government down would have been worse.

I say this is doubtful. Yes, the courts will keep functioning, which is what Schumer counts on. But will Trump obey them? He says he will, but his entire track record says he will evade unfavorable court rulings any way he can. It's impossible to rule out him openly defying the court. Some say he's already doing that — which means the constitutional crisis is upon us.

Here's the takeaway: Trump and his acolytes keep shooting themselves in the foot — and shooting America in the heart. The people are beginning to fight back. We must expand this movement until it sweeps away the dangerous regime that is dragging our country down.
