In response, Democrats have claimed that Trump is sending the country into a constitutional crisis.

Fucking Jesus the constitutional crisis has been here for almost two months already. Great job Dems on underselling the seriousness of this.

The crisis is here and has been ongoing. Saying he is just sending us into it now is pussy shit.

What they're teaching is self sufficiency. When that self sufficiency is realized we will have a real revolution with mortal consequences. There are more of us than them. We are smarter than them. And we are angrier than they think. If the DNC wont play ball with the true will of the people, it will be a bigger problem for them than us.

[-] Serinus@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago

All this shit and you threaten fucking Democrats?!?

[-] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 1 points 18 hours ago

In this context they're talking about Democrats in office and the DNC.

[-] j0ester@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

What you expect? Fucking Russian Donald Bots they actually are.

[-] Serinus@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

I truly believe that. It's hard for people to see when the "majority" opinion is so loud and constant.

It's why social media is dangerous.

[-] prole 2 points 1 day ago

People on this site sometimes...

[-] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

We need to cleave off at least some of the MAGA movement to make this happen.

[-] Hylactor@sopuli.xyz 23 points 1 day ago

Let them come to us. We gain nothing by catering to them. Ask Harris if you don't believe me.

[-] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Oh I'm not advocating for anything right now. But it might be an interesting time to tune into the main show on TYT and see how those turncloaks are handling this.

Anything that can cleave off or create factions weakens them.

The only parts of the Constitution they pretend to care about are the first and second amendment and only when it serves their interests. The rest is basically just toilet paper to them.

[-] PyroNeurosis 5 points 1 day ago

Ol' Petey seems a big fan of the 21st...

[-] CarrierLost@infosec.pub 3 points 1 day ago

Deep cut there. I love it!

[-] seaQueue@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago

Meanwhile we've got ~respectable moderates~ like Quisling Schumer popping a semi at the mere thought of bombing Iran

[-] SnotFlickerman 1 points 1 day ago

It's my guess that they either have 1) weapons manufacturers donating to them or 2) have weapons manufacturing in their district (which they see as "job creation" for their constituents) or both.

[-] barneypiccolo@lemm.ee 6 points 1 day ago

Of course they have weapons manufacturers lobbying them. The government is literally the ONLY client for some of these clients. Who else are they going to sell their weapons of mass destruction to?

[-] wildbus8979@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago

You're forgetting all that AIPAC money.

[-] takeda@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 day ago

Maybe the next protests should be organized next to their homes.

[-] OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 day ago

They're complaining about it because one of these times they might have to actually do something.

[-] TheEighthDoctor@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 day ago

Don't you know they are only suppose to act the year before the elections

[-] Uruanna@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

What if there were elections every year? There's always someone who needs to act.

[-] nthavoc@lemmy.today 17 points 1 day ago

Yes. It also gives grounds for the military, from the top brass all the way down to private, to refuse an illegal and unlawful order from this idiot. It may also prompt the pentagon to remove him. Unfortunately, most of the pentagon's top leadership has been replaced with yes men.

The only qualification Trump wanted of Hegseth for the job was a willingness to use the American military against American citizens on American soil. Hegseth wrote a book advocating for this.

[-] Asafum@feddit.nl 17 points 1 day ago

I'm also 100% convinced the story about Kristy Noem shooting her puppy is what got her the job. That screams callous and heartless which is exactly the qualification Trump would want...

[-] Drusas@fedia.io 57 points 1 day ago

Saying flat-out that the only court they will acknowledge is the Supreme Court. Gee, I wonder why that might be.

[-] Gates9@sh.itjust.works 27 points 1 day ago

Pete Hegseth will disobey anything except the shakes

[-] Grimy@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

That got a hard laugh out of me

[-] njm1314@lemmy.world 40 points 1 day ago
[-] KindnessIsPunk@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 day ago

Yup, it was a requirement for the job.

[-] ristoril_zip@lemmy.zip 37 points 1 day ago

The courts have to start finding these people in contempt and deputizing people to go enforce those orders on behalf of the court if law enforcement won't. The House won't exercise its duty to be a check on the President. The Senate has barely made a few weak gestures. All that's left are the courts. Well, and We The People.

[-] OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 18 points 1 day ago

Why wouldn't he disobey? There have been literally no consequences for Trump or any of his sycophants.

[-] lupusblackfur@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago

Pfft...

suggests

Are you daft? You know very fucking well he would straight up disobey on the guarantee of a pardon from Mafia Don Mangolini.

FFS.

🤷‍♂️ 🤡 🫏 🖕 💩

[-] Greyghoster@aussie.zone 5 points 1 day ago

Isn’t he Fox lightweight? How could they have confirmed him?

[-] ironcrotch@aussie.zone 11 points 1 day ago

They confirmed RFK Jr for Health, Tulsi Gabbard for Intelligence, Kash Patel for the FBI. They'd confirm a dried out turd given the chance.

[-] j0ester@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

All fucking DUI merit hires.

[-] jjjalljs@ttrpg.network 4 points 1 day ago

Pete Hegseth should be removed from power.
