How in gods name is this legal?

Maria K.'s avatar

It's so far from legal it might as well be outside the solar system. Had it been anyone else, the republicans would be wailing at the top of their lungs.

Rosemary Dill's avatar

Charge him with treason and jail him NOW.

Dorothy's avatar

YES! At the very least, begin impeachment NOW!

Sheryl's avatar

He’s been impeached twice and it didn’t work! This whole administration is going to have to be forcibly removed. They will not leave on their own accord, even if they happen to have another election where they are voted out.

Dorothy's avatar

And that is because MITCH MCCONNELL and his fellow Republican jackals in Congress refused to remove him. Our Constitution provides for impeachment of the entire regime, so Congress does not have to stop with the Fascist in Chief. All we need are enough Repubs to stand up for our Constitution and get the fascists out.

Rosemary Dill's avatar

McConnell threatened Republicans twice when they had to vote for impeachment.

This Must Be Said's avatar

THIS IS ONLY TRUE IF YOU HAVE PRO-DEMOCRACY VOTES in CONGRESS.

Sheryl's avatar

Well, only 2 republicans voted against the big beautiful bill and with 3 dems dying in office, and 1 republican voting present we were 1 short of defeating it. Now we get 5 billion taken from Medicare and 1 trillion taken from Medicaid which is going to kill the most vulnerable people so hoping for 4 to impeach is most likely not going to happen. Not to mention the deficit being raised by 3+ trillion.

Charge him with treason. NOW. Put him in jail. NOW.He is a danger to many Americans.

This Must Be Said's avatar

IMPEACHMENT DOES NOTHING.

IMPEACHMENT DOES NOT MEAN REMOVE.

Dorothy's avatar

He must be removed as well. More difficult to accomplish with the cowardly Repub Senate.

This Must Be Said's avatar

Hey sure. Knock your self out, Dorothy. WE have done THAT with before with a MAJORITY. THEY REFUSED TO VOTE TO PROTECT DEMOCRACY.

IT. IS. MATH.

I have pro-democracy things to do rather than repeat rules that zero NAZIGOP follow.

Bob Seemueller's avatar

Removal comes with 67 Senate votes. Trump will never leave with his 77 million Cult.

Rosemary Dill's avatar

Charge him with Treason NOW. Jail him NOW

Dawn A's avatar

So where are our democratic leaders? This is insane! I want off this ride now.

Dorothy's avatar

What do you expect the Dems to do when they are in the minority? You should be calling and writing the Repubs, even if they don't represent you. Be the squeaky wheel!

Sheryl's avatar

I have had the misfortune of moving to ablood red state. I have had numerous occasions where I have emailed and called the representatives of my state who are all red. From all three of them, I have received a canned email which stated the same exact words about an entirely different subject than what I was calling and writing about. I am under the assumption that because of what these emails I’ve gotten back contained, they don’t even read them and they don’t care. This is no longer about party affiliation. It’s all about controlling the people and retaining the millions upon millions of dollars that they are receiving from taxpayers. We are not being represented anymore.

They are the ranchers and we are the cattle.

Rosemary Dill's avatar

I have been the very squeaky wheel for the past 19 months..Many others have, also. Time to to talk less and move more. Jail Trump for treason NOW as he is a danger to many USA residents.

Dorothy's avatar

Keep at it! Do it the old way by writing letters and calling their local office. Don't give up.

Rosemary Dill's avatar

I expect them to get together and charge Trump with treason. Jail him until trial as he is a threat to our natio

This Must Be Said's avatar

Knock yourself out. I have pro-democracy things to do.

Rosemary Dill's avatar

Trump needs to be charged immediately for treason. He is a danger to many who live in the USA

Rosemary Dill's avatar

Some Dems are working hard. Most need to be “encouraged” to do more.

Dawn A's avatar

I thought my vote was the "encouragement" that they needed.

Rosemary Dill's avatar

Have you read the news today? The Democrats have creamed Trump with the lies he has told. They have been working hard for some time on revealing Trump’s bullshit

Rosemary Dill's avatar

Did you rad the paper today? Trump has been eviscerated

Michele Bowman's avatar

The people who subscribe to this substack could not agree with you more.

However, who is going to charge Trump and who is going to put him in jail? He completely ignores the courts. What is to be done with him?

MARGIE's avatar

Who? Who's to charge him? Believe me, I want this as much as you but who? Who has the power to do that? I just want to wake up from this nightmare.

Bob Seemueller's avatar

Only hope Trump dies of natural causes quickly. Then America gets JD and Mike Johnson, just as bad.

Dawn W's avatar

They would have burned down the yight house by now if it was Biden in office doing these things.

PW's avatar

I might have normally thought of this an apropos hyperbole but then I immediately had images of J6 jump to the front of my brain and I realized it would have been very real possibility if the parties were reversed.

Ragh Pandragon's avatar

I mean. So why aren't we?

AnneN's avatar

look at all the gifts the Supreme Court justices take in. our government is going downhill fast

DrFrann's avatar

They’re not going downhill fast - they are downhill and underground at this point.

Rosemary Dill's avatar

Read the news today. The Dems are evicerating Trump .

Rosemary Dill's avatar

We can charge Trump with treason and jail him. He is a danger to MANY who live in the USA

It’s not legal. FFS, Congress, what’s it going to take for you to impeach and remove this anti-Constitutional administration?

Elaine H's avatar

It’s not. However, Trump has all sycophants running the show and Pam Bondi said it was legal. What an utter disgrace

Dorothy's avatar

Bondi the Bimbo is in flagrant violation of all our laws and needs to be disbarred!

Rosemary Dill's avatar

Their acts are ILLEGAL

Kathy Price's avatar

It’s not but nobody will say no to him.

Dorothy's avatar

The REPUBLICANS will not say no OR do their jobs!

Rosemary Dill's avatar

Not true. We have DEMS who will say NO to Trump. We need more. We need Republicans who are not afraid of their own shadow. We may need to pay some of them to be protected.

Bill's avatar

Laws don’t mean anything anymore unless you are marginalized and they need to use them against you.

Rosemary's avatar

Legal is not a word in the Trump regime 😡👺👺

CO's avatar

It’s not at all and we the taxpayers are going to pay up to a billion dollars 💵 if our money is used to redo it so mad 😡

Rosemary Dill's avatar

Correct. We need members of Congress who will speak out…and then MOVE. WE MAY NEED TO PROVIDE PROTECTION FOR THEM.

John Wayne Lively's avatar

May it end up the same way the 911 planes did 🛩️🔥☠️

Pamela Carlton's avatar

Except for the part where 2,996 people were unalived, and the PTSD is still affecting so many of us.

Dorothy's avatar

This would include me. I lost some of my work family on those planes (which were essentially my "office" for 37 years), and loud noises still bother me, as well as being in crowds. 😟

Pamela Carlton's avatar

Ohh I’m so sorry, and I really understand. I flew for AAL for 27 yrs, so 9/11 and the 587 crash 2 months later (which killed the crew fam I had known for 26 yrs) …and yes…still processing the PTSD too. The noises, planes flying overhead, and the crowds…I get it. 😢😢😢 Wishes for your continued healing my dear.

Linda Preston's avatar

Its against the constitution but he continues to defy the law because there are no consequences . A convicted felon , impeached twice. This is your US President. 😢

Angie's avatar

It isn’t. But he has fascists running law enforcement.

Shauna's avatar

it is not...like SO MUCH...wait...let check with Pam Bondi ~~~~~~

We HAVE PASSED THE RUBICON...we ARE in an Autocratic state...another jet took off last NIGHT with abducted people in clear direct violation of the Supreme Court

Rosemary Dill's avatar

We need to tell congress we will protect them financially if they agree to help remove Trump. That is the only way to get rid of Trump.

Kailey's avatar

They don’t care what is legal anymore. They are no guardrails in place to stop this administration bc he’s planted loyalists in all the high places. We will be in trouble as a country by the time his term ends, if it even does.

Michele Ross's avatar

The us president has been bought and paid for!! 🤬🤬🤬🤬

Bonnie Council's avatar

And he doesn’t want anyone saying that or talking about it. Everything he does these days is to deflect from some other illegal or treasonous thing he’s done or is doing. How much is it going to cost taxpayers to retrofit this gilded spy machine? While he takes food out of the mouths of SNAP recipients & healthcare away from veterans, the elderly & the disabled. He disgusts me more every day.

Stacey Ennis's avatar

As long as he gets away with this shit, he’s going to keep going. It’s in his DNA 🧬.

He’s going to run out of steam eventually but we all pay the price.

Shauna's avatar

He will not run out of steam while raking in money...and if he does...JD Vance and Peter Theal and the whole BUNCH are right behind him..we are in a TERRIBLE moment and is Jan 6th was a legal transfer of power IMAGINE what it will take to oust him...but living live POOR Russian/hungarians with no freedoms is WORSE WORSE WORSE

Rosemary Dill's avatar

No doubt. Why do we not charge Trump for treason and jail him immediately? The longer we wait, the more Trump will destroy us. STEP UP.

Stacey Ennis's avatar

I ask the same questions. I’ve asked for years. WHO is going to do it? At what point? There is no so-called law in his world. He does whatever the fu*k he wants to and makes up the rules as he goes. He’s got enough people around him that are as sick as he is. Again, WHO is going to stop him?

Every single day, our anxiety over losing our rights, healthcare and basic needs are threatened- something different (and bad) every single day. We’re getting screwed, can do basically nothing to stop him and the rest of the n a z ee s who rip us to shreds. Rip Van Winkling this is looking like a good option. I feel powerless. Obviously my vote meant nothing.

Dorothy's avatar

Tell that to the Republican traitors!

Holly Seaton's avatar

Trump has ALWAYS been for sale to the highest bidder! Always!

Cathi Connelly's avatar

And is The Trump Crime Family Enterprise is recruiting Barron and his peers to further the Enterprise goals.

Rosemary Dill's avatar

Trump has committed serious crimes since the 1970s. I was there to read all about it. Trump is evil

Rosemary Dill's avatar

For the past 50+years.😱😱😱😱😱😱

Karen Ferguson's avatar

At our expense. Who knows what the idiot has agreed to. We could all be in some type of danger.

Rosemary Dill's avatar

Jail him for treason. NOW

Rosemary Dill's avatar

We never know what the lunatic will do next.

Christine McLennan Biederman's avatar

Yes, quite a while ago I’d wager

SasSyPAntsJeNn's avatar

How about the deaths from the deadly tornados from my home state Kentucky, or Missouri etc? How about all the people that are suffering from the deadly weather the last few days ...he's worried about racist assholes from South Africa that are running from anything. They aren't in danger just Nazis

Michelle Lang's avatar

And made cuts to FEMA and NOAA! He and his administration are out of control!!!

Kay G's avatar

The South African government officials are trying to straighten out Trump but the the American wannabe dictator doesn’t appear to be listening because Elon told him differently. The South African officials are trying to explain that what he is hearing is about massacres is from those trying to increase trouble between the races. The killing is across races. Many of those meeting in the Oval Office with Trump are White South Africans. BTW - I was in South Africa, by happenstance, during the riots in Soweto SA when the major challenge to apartheid began. But Trump needs to listen to the South African government officials - white and black - who visited - trying to make the Trump administration understand reality. The problem is CRIME. Whether Trump does or not - it’s on tape now

Carmen Andrews's avatar

And why is all that damage not huge news?? They don’t want people to know that they’re not getting any help. My son technically still works for FEMA but hasn’t been deployed since last year. He finally got another job. Sad for all involved.

Robot Bender's avatar

Missouri, too. I don't think we got hit half as bad as you did. Coward Hawley was just in Washington pleading for emergency assistance, but he's not likely to see any.

SasSyPAntsJeNn's avatar

Yes Missouri was also hit hard That's why I put Kentucky and Missouri and etc don't know the other states I just know of those two particularly. Want to hear something crazy and Tennessee the weather radio stuff that you know broadcast to the whole state when there's warnings and stuff was down for upgrades from Monday until Wednesday night. Smh

Frederica Walker's avatar

Any other president would be on the ground in these states but he hasn’t even mentioned it!!!

catz444's avatar

The one he begged them for and we are paying for…. And will continue to pay for that fat ass after he leaves office!! SUCH BULLSHIT!! 😡😡😡

Taya's avatar

This is not legal!!!! This is a crime. We are in a dictatorship

Becky Legamaro's avatar

“You’re a terrible reporter” for calling me out on my corrupt bullshit. How dare you!

Suzanne H's avatar

Now NBC gets sued, and then pays Trump off to drop charges. Same shit different day!! Blah, blah, blah.

Dorothy's avatar

Yep! NBC is not in my A List now either! Also, they keep airing the Puppy Killer's ads, which I did write to them about expressing my displeasure. No reply!

Doug C's avatar

He actually accepted it. Unbelievable. Come on, Congress. This is it. This is what you have been waiting for with the emoluments clause. DO SOMETHING!

Taya's avatar

Reps this is all the reps fault they have the majority

MJ's avatar

He didn’t just accept it. He ASKED THEM for it in the first place!

Mary's avatar

This nightmare keeps getting worse 😭

Sheila Prosterman's avatar

The Qataris gave it to him because it was too expensive for even them to run. They’ve been trying to get rid of it for years. They gave one to turkey for free this sucker is going to pay for it. Apparently a con man is also easy to be conned himself

REBECCA ORNELAS's avatar

This makes me sick! That bastard wants to spend money retrofitting that piece of junk and using money from cuts they are making to Medicaid and SNAP and other programs that will harm everyone in the USA except the bastard in the White House. 🤬

Audra Mac's avatar

And he’s going to get away with this as he does everything else.

RACHEL's avatar

unfortunately you are probably correct

Melanie Claypool's avatar

Report that it will take $1BILLION to retro fit this illegal “gift”. How does this fit into the “waste, fraud, and abuse” narrative?

Michelle Lang's avatar

I doesn’t and that’s why it won’t be mentioned. Maybe a reporter will ask but we all know what his response will be “you’re an awful reporter who knows nothing, unlike me, I know EVERYTHING!!” This is the worst nightmare in this country at least what we’ve seen in our lifetime.

Trish Is Living La Vida Loca's avatar

He is above the law. Wake up, America!

Ballard Graham's avatar

Now this is an out right “Impeachable offense”!

Melanie Claypool's avatar

I highly recommend the app- 5 CALLS- which links you directly to Congress with a script. Yes, time to demand our House reps start impeachment proceedings immediately. Note a model of the plane was front and center in today’s press conference with South African leader who joked he was “sorry, he couldn’t give him a plane”.

LINDA's avatar

This free app has the issues and phone nos you need. Amazing tool. https://5calls.org/

Melanie Claypool's avatar

Just verified by NYT: “ And it could cost $1 billion or more to retrofit the Qatari plane to get it ready for use as Air Force One, a process that former Air Force officials said could take longer than finishing the job Boeing is already doing to deliver the first two planes.”

Frederica Walker's avatar

He doesn’t care if it’s done during his presidency. He just wants to use tax payer money to do it and then he will take it with him for his personal use!!!

AliGal's avatar

Unprecedented corruption and beating the United States into an unrecognizable nation. Sickening!!!!!! I hate him and every Republican on the planet! They have always wanted this -ALWAYS!!!!!!! Disgusting POS!

Rosemary Dill's avatar

I agree with your every word.🤗🤗🤗🤗
