So we have a system where a president can go hog wild breaking the laws

[milestogo]

and then many months later a judge tells him what he did is illegal.

This seems really fucked up to me.

1. I was just thinking...

...of all the damage that is done by the time the court gets around to ruling on it.

11. The American judicial system is slow enough as it is, and being buried in an an avalanche of fascism on a daily basis is

not sustainable.

2. If Congress cared, he could have been held accountable the next day. Week. Month.

Congress has handed the Orange Man all their power as a separate branch of government. Damn lily-livered Republicans.

[._.]

3. Wrong

We have a system that lets REPUBLICAN presidents go hog wild.

[Frasier Balzov]

4. Trump is the only issue in 2026.

The votes to flip Congress are waiting to be cast.

Just don't get drawn into any issue other than Less of Trump.

[Mad_Machine76]

10. And don't listen to pundits

Telling us that we can’t spend all of our time attacking Trump.

5. And even after the courts say it's illegal, Trump continues breaking the law with few or no consequences,

while the Republican party looks the other way. Constitutional checks and balances no longer exist in this country.

6. it really is - and he bumps the decision to the supreme court (sic) and usually gets his support

as a one off so that a future Democratic President can't do the same thing.

7. You get this when . . .

you give a destructive leader the King level power of executive orders and there are people who carry them out without regard for legality or morality.

In most first world countries executive orders don't exist, and where they do, they need to be examined and ratified by levels within the government first.

[thought crime]

8. Appellate Court ruled Trump's Tariffs illegal but let them continue.

Trump administration argues the economy will collapse if they stop tariffs, because they, the Trump administration, have structured the economy on the illegal tariffs.

Wow, can anyone spot the logical fallacy here? Will the Supreme Court buy this?

[Aussie105]

12. More likely . . .

the economy will collapse, or at minimum do a major shrinkage, BECAUSE of the tariffs.

Tariffs are a regressive tax, they suck the lifeblood out of the economy.

. . . but I think everyone is waiting - waiting for Trump to disappear off the scene, through death or being cut down by EpsteinGate, and things to right themselves magically.

Unfortunately magic won't do it, it will take a lot of effort on the part of many sane people to fix things.

[Karasu]

9. It's not a system that can last.
