I'm not sure if you've been paying attention, but federal courts have been stopping him left and right. The most common situation has been Trump signs an EO or takes other action, federal court blocks said action, administration whines and moans but is forced to go along with the ruling.
You can count on one hand the times this administration has successfully ignored a court order.
That's still one hand too many.
Good thing the funding bill removes all funding to enforce injunctions...
They’ve also been ignoring those judges. I 100% believe, especially with the immigration stuff, that he’s still carrying on what they ordered the administration not to do, only quieter.
The most high-profile case of ignoring the judges has been the Kilmar Abrego Garcia case, where the ruling came when he was already en route. The courts have also said the administration had to take all reasonable actions to facilitate his return, or words to that effect, which they've surely not done.
Aside from that, in what other instances have they successfully ignored court rulings? I'm sure there have been a few, but not many.
In regards to this particular thread, a pardon of state crimes doesn't mean anything because no one would listen to it. States run themselves when it comes to criminal justice. Short of marching the military in and causing an actual civil war, there's no method for enforcing that.
It's important not to doom. Despair is the enemy. Stay positive but stay vigilant.
It's not "doom" it's being honest and real about our current situation.
People need to realize what is happening to their country, and as of right now, my experience in the real world has been that most people have no fucking clue. Like, to a startling degree.
Pretending everything is ok just keeps them out of the loop longer while these people literally destroy our country from the inside.
Maybe if people/the media were reacting appropriately to what has been happening, people would actually be aware. And "staying positive!" is not an appropriate reaction to what is happening.
I'm extremely pessimistic with what is happening in this country, so no, I have not been paying attention, because he's gonna get what he wants. I guarantee it. Been watching politics since the 9/11 days, and if its one thing the Republicans are good at, its being persistent after everyone has lost interest, media, voters, etc.. And they just steam ahead with whatever horrible plan people were trying to reject through votes, courts, etc. After all the attention has died down.
Oh well in that case, there's nothing to worry about!
It's amazing how successful he's been at lowering the expectations for the office. For a Republican, at least. I'm certain, if a Democrat is able to become president again, that bar will suddenly rise back up.
