Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!"

Yeap. That was the plan. JD Vance is on camera well before the election saying Trump should have his Andrew Jackson moment and tell them to go ahead and try to enforce their ruling. They want absolute power.
I'd post the clip if I could, it says too large. 😴
Edit: here is a link to the clip. Idk where to upload it for a longer period. It'll expire 2 days from when I post this. Full vid = "Dark Gothic MAGA" by Blonde Politics

This is literally the moment where a dictator rises. This is THE make it or break it moment. If the Supreme Court does not appoint marshals to enforce its ruling - if it does not enforce it is a co-equal branch, as mandated by the Constitution,
then the Executive is free to do what it wants with no consequences. The Executive is immune even to Supreme Court rulings.
Even if you somehow believe that the 2026 and 2028 elections will still matter by then (IF WE MAKE IT THERE, VOTE ANYWAY MOFO), just imagine the damage a president that is no longer equal to the Supreme Court & Congress can do. The Constitution is quite literally broken at that point - if you can make the argument that the previous executive immunity ruling didn't break it in the first place.
Anyone got betting odds on the SC actually trying to enforce the ruling?... just trying some humor cause... boys, gals, otherwise.... no matter what ultimately happens as the outcome to all this, all roads are dark from here.
SCOTUS won't do this but all they really have to do is say something like, "If you put this weasel in cuffs, bring us the case and we'll absolutely rule in your favor."
Now is the time to stand around and holding a sign with a clever anti-Trump message on it! Protesting will save democracy through the power of good vibes.
Looks like you've fallen for the lie authoritarians tell.
So what have you done that is more effective than protests? Posting snarky comments on Lemmy?
That’s not fair, they also post racist comments!
Fuck off, I have never posted racist comments.
You have to start somewhere. Don't criticise people for not having boiled the ocean yet.
Hey man; don't lash out just because your armchair isn't comfy.
