No, the military can only deploy a small number of forces without congressional approval FIRST. And States have their own armies.

All great reasons to contact your republican representatives, and arguments to campaign on against republicans, not to catastrophize though. Say we go even just 2 years to midterms, and you all are screaming "end of democracy, constitutional crisis", we get a legal election, democrats gain some seats and all of a sudden your crying wolf is exposed and subsequently everyone is exhausted and unplugged from politics and no longer listen to leftists scream into the void. This is a republican trap, no different than culture war noise, it get's people to tune out of politics, if you stay level headed republicans will look worse and worse and we will get rid of the cockroaches once and for all. We can use trumps antics to our advantage, he will cause a blue wave if we don't obfuscate the situation with emotional reactivity.

That's for Congress to decide with impeachment, or the voters with elections. Congress has decided he has not done anything wrong.

Americans elected a Republican Congress, SCOTUS is Republican, what fourth branch are you referring to for "seperation of powers"? They cannot block appointments, that's a lie going around. Trump could still just ignore those, with a Republican congress, it wouldn't matter.

See; 'civil rights movement'. I do live here, a red state even, and no we're not. What commentators have you been listening to? Thune is the new leader of Republican Senators The New Republic https://newrepublic.com › post › republican-congressman... "Republican Congressman Slams Trump’s “Out of Control” Executive Or… 23 hours ago · “Not the president, not Elon Musk.

To, overturn the will of the people? Besides that even, this is such a vague answer, do you have any action idea at all?

Trump himself is "halting everything" and ending "business as usual". He's shutting down his own branch of government, he'll be able to do nothing, he is already doing this to himself. Democrats cannot block cabinet picks and they normally filibuster against republican bills already.

That's a cartoonish view of Americans, they're not that fucked up.

What "offense" should they do? They just lost the election, they were voted out of congress and the presidency, this is what the people voted for, you want democrats to deny the will of the people?

That all would mean nothing, it's up to the states and congress. That would be no different than Ronald McDonald declaring it.

Why don't you progressives ever ask what Jill Stein or Claudia De LA Cruz is going to do about Trump? Democrats were voted out of all power, Jill Stein has as much power.

I suggest just being open to dating if you come across a woman you're interested in. If you can find semi-social activities you like to do, you can potentially find a great girl or great friends that might have a great girl in their social circle. Great relationships can energize and empower you.

He's embarrassed by his poor reputation as President so he is going full throttle with common Republican strategy talking points, he wants to have a good legacy, but he's a moron....

When you're confident that you and the woman can commit to being together for the rest of your lives, you both know what you want, and you work well together.

I agree with contacting your representatives, especially Republican ones. Trump's actions definitely require that, try to not sound unhinged in your communication though, "pardoning jan 6ers is very bad for the rule of law, congress should be who decides spending, defying the law is impeachable, please impeach this criminal now". And definitely prepare for a recession. Hundreds of millions in stock were sold off this week by insiders across most industries....

To cut spending. Republicans want to privatize usps.

Elon's wealth is stock not cash.

Drawing comparisons with the rise of WW2 fascism is historical nescience. Germany only became a democracy the decade before Hitler, Italy was a monarchy prior to Mussolini, they were more familiar with authoritarianism than the foreign new age concept of liberalism.

I bet he doesn't even know all of his kids names.

You can't blame the u.s. for the things that other nations do just because the u.s. trades with them, they sell weapons and buy oil, they don't supply and fund entire regimes, they just don't sell to ones they don't trust. Iraq and Afghanistan are so destabilized now huh?..... Panama, destabilized? Not that I'm suggesting what was done was right, i think it was wrong. The West is the global trader and protects it's trade routes, foreign assets, investments, and attacks groups that attack any of those. China is supplying Russia against Ukraine, and African Rebels, along with Russia, you don't see them with American weapons, it's Russian and Chinese, same with South America.

I can't really stand the news. I like Ezra Klein, Destiny, and David Pakman but barely even watch them. I usually just browse headlines, and barely, and then look stuff up if everyone goes crazy about something serious sounding. That Vaush and Hasan I know some of you all like are terrible, MeidasTouch is rage baity.

No. I like a fight though, and would never be in any sense of harm's way from Republican politics. I had thought of moving prior to Trump for cultural reasons, but after seeing the concern from Europeans I feel it very important for me to stay here and fight and vote. I feel my vote is even more important now seeing how so many non-americans are concerned about our politics, I vote for them too. I will always be helping campaigns, but I might even run for senator when I'm older. You can find great communities in the states too, so many great people here. I will make sure my children are familiar with Europe though, and know their options of moving there. I love Europe, I would have moved to France.

My moms best friend since they were like 12, likes trump, and my mom was almost ready to end the friendship. My mom isn't political at all and just tells her she doesn't want to hear about politics from her. He's just given terrible people reason to be proud of being terrible.
