Some one has to step up and stop the fool that driving the nation into the ground! The republicans will have a price to pay if they don’t respond to this idiotic clown!

They’ll have a price to play regardless on how things turn out. They’ve been pulling this BS for the last 10 years, especially with the orange clown. People are not gonna put up with the games the GOP plays.

I know they fear Trump’s wrath but I’m surprised the MAGA GOP is not fearful of their once adoring constituents turning on them as the economy begins to tank from these tariffs.

The plan is to just not have pesky, bothersome elections anymore.

Why worry about angry voters when you’ve taken away the right to vote?

Voting has been “suspended” in other autocratic takeovers, why not here?

Declare martial law because of the danger of an unruly, angry mob, and employ the military against their own citzens, to enforce your will on them. Enough of this outdated “ democracy” bullshit.

I too fear Marshall law is not out of the question for this unlawful president but I also question if our military would uphold a command against their fellow citizens. Trump has never shown much respect for our servicemen. I know it feels like we are moving toward autocracy but the difference is we have 250 years of democracy (ironic that all this is happening now) behind us while Germany was only a few years from living under a monarchy when Hitler rose to power. I do feel though that our military needs to be reminded that “I was just following orders” did not hold up in the world court. That reminder should be on billboards all around our military bases.

I have been concerned as to what our military members would do if they were ordered to fire on the neighbors and friends. I would hope they would not do that and respect the constitution. I was talking with my brother about it yesterday and he said that they would be Court, Marshall than possibly could be set in front of a firing squad as wellfor disobeying orders. He’s a former Air Force guy from the 60s.

Not for disobeying an illegal order.

What is ICE doing: following orders w/o process !

An emergency order made by a non sensical pres is suspect!

So why isn’t thrse plain clothes hoodies with no badge clarification on them is “ breaking windows on women or KIDNAPOING off the streets.

If you are in army not questioning those think: Will you face criminal charges?( it’s not war!!!)

The Dems need to be fierce and forceful against the tariffs. It will prove them to be formidable next year and hopefully stop the destruction of the economy now.

Definitely and don’t forget those who paved the way for this lawlessness- McConnell and the Supreme Court.

There is a private level in hell for Mitch McConnell. He orchestrated the entire TRUMP escape escapade, from tanking both impeachments, to ensuring Donald could run again in 2024. He is an evil republican lackey and I sincerely hope he suffers for all eternity. He knew exactly what he was doing. From manipulating votes, the election, and the despicable stacking of the Supreme Court with the most corrupt judges he could find. He had no thought for the consequences to the country, only his own evil ends. Truly an evil worthless Balrog from the depths of hell. BURN! MITCH BURN !

It’s Project 2025 to destroy us. Look at their timeline online. It’s not ALL Trump. You think he could have created 180 executive orders himself?! They’re just allowing him to have some of his pet projects.

And Republicans when Trump played the president game the first. Republicans allowed that sore to fester and become contagious to America and to our blessed world. What's being down took a monster and spineless, bias, supremacy beings. People that don't have a clue about doing your own research, care about people, concern for others. A house divided will not stand.

ASAP is NOT too soon to begin to constrict options for Trump. He is 150 years out of date on tariffs. Republicans gotta get a backbone, including the obsequious leader of the House.

I would love Dems to have a clean sweep next year if enough Rs aren't scared of their voters than the felon. Getting a 20-35 seat majority in the House and flipping the Senate would be a massive rebuke to FDJT's tariffs insanity.

Republicans do NOT have backbones, just like they do not have the BALLS to stand up to this dictator wanna be. GROW A PAIR AND TAKE A STAND, for your country, for your own family for crap’s sake!
