The legal basis is "Trump gets to do whatever the fuck he wants because none of the checks and balances have any balls to check and balance this motherfucker."
Trump took full control of the DHS and the FBI, staffed it with loyal goons, and is actively arresting/assaulting anyone who stands in his way.
This isn't a matter of "no balls", its a matter of Biden handing Trump's biggest supporters a bunch of money and guns back in 2021 and Trump telling these guys "Arrest all the Bidencrats" the moment he took office.
Dafuq is any judge or legislator supposed to do in a country when ICE can kick down your door?
They fucked up thinking they'd never lose power. Now its too late to politics their way out of the mess.
Not to promote violence, but there's a particular constitutional amendment that applies in this very specific situation
We've been busting through constitutional amendments with abandon. I don't think you could point to one that this administration would honor or respect.
I can:
Which is why they lable anyone they arrest as a criminal, doesn't have to be true. You heard Trump, having a trial for each one would take too long. So just slap a label on them and say you're though on crime.
By that logic, you'd think trump would be a slave.
He IS a 34x convicted criminal after all.
Whoa, keep your thinking to our dear leader
Haven't judges been knocking down a bunch of his proclamations? It's not bulletproof, and it hasn't been everything, but clearly some things are a bridge too far. At least for now.
And he and bis goons ignore the judges
The thing is the statute of limitations extends beyond Trump's presidency and the penalties are levied against the hosting and distributing companies (Oracle, Google, Apple) wouldn't it be lovely if the next president assuming we get a next president enforced the law and collected the fines from these companies.
I mean, sort of, yes, but also no? It's another tool of power for a tyrannical government to wield, even if it is against companies I dislike.
Is it tyrannical to make companies obey laws they don't agree with? I mean it's probably tyrannical for the law to exist in the first place but this feels like a "well well well if it isn't the consequences of my own actions" for these companies propping up establishment candidates who line up be cucked by Israel.
