I bet if I drew a swastika on your shoe...you'd defiantly shoot your own foot off, wouldn't you?

Except in this case...there are no enforcers. At all.

There is no mechanism in place to actually enforce a court ruling, if the executive branch decides to ignore it. There is no mechanism in place to enforce legislation that's been passed by Congress, if the executive branch decides to ignore it. There aren't even any mechanisms in place to enforce Constitutional amendments that should actively restrict the executive branch's actions. They had a lot to say about what the executive branch should not be allowed to do...but they seemingly forgot to include any way of ensuring they would be held accountable, if they didn't follow the rules.

There are literally NO "checks and balances" in place to enforce anything if the executive branch decides to ignore the other two branches of government. It's like passing legislation that declares murder a crime...but not including any consequences for actually committing it.

"But Kamala would have been worse!" /s

Some systems, though, have actual mechanisms for enforcement attached to them. But apparently none of that was included in the legal framework that the entire country is built on.

"Hey! You can't do that! That very clearly violates Constitutional law."

"Oh, yeah? What are you going to do about it?"

(checks Constitution) "Oh...uhhh. I guess nothing?"

It's sad to realize that there never really were any "checks and balances". It was all based on an honor system, that relied entirely on no one trying to cross any boundaries.

As soon as Trump pushed even slightly against those so-called guardrails, they simply fell over.

So, is he saying that Epstein wasn't a child sex-offender now? I thought he called him a creep, just the other day. Now it's all just a hoax?

Your floor would have to be supernaturally flat and level for that to happen.

It would be hilarious to see them all get deported to some random foreign country just for trying, though,

Making any "deal" with Trump is pointless. He isn't going to respect the terms for more than a week...at best. Anything longer than that, and he'll have already forgotten he signed anything at all.

Shouldn't a basic understanding of the Constitution be a prerequisite to becoming a judge? And wouldn't a lack thereof be disqualifying for a promotion?

Trump didn't "win" his case against ABC. They settled, despite the fact that the judge who presided over Trump's rape case acknowledging that Trump did in fact, "rape" E. Jean Carroll. That's just not the legalese term used in the charges against him.

All while deporting as many farm workers as they can get their hands on. The US is headed for a self-inflicted famine.

Good. Fuckin' freeloaders need to get a job. /s

I give it a week before he's completely forgotten he said this.

I 100% blame Oprah for this.

I am immediately aware of how uncomfortable this makes people...so, I try not to do it very often.

Anything other than radical transparency is just going to look like a cover-up. And even that will probably not satisfy Trump's army of mouth breathers.

Don't forget duct tape.

"Vote Blue No Matter Who!!"

What "solutions" are there? We just had an election. And at the moment, there is no real opposition party. The Liberals and Conservatives are basically aligned on most of this, so between the two of them, they have a potential super majority to pass anything they want.

Anyone having buyers remorse at this point, is shit out of luck.
