You are not far off the mark IMO. You do know what happened to the SA in 1933 or 34.Did they all have Brown Shirts?
Just wondering
Trump administration 2024-2028
- Thread starter dimsum
- Start date
A modest but definite core of which know they owe him for many years of freedom from incarceration, and have already proven themselves willing to transgress violently against America’s democratic norms and peaceful transition of power. And they’re already networked and organized to an extent, and have probably only further radicalized on ideological grounds.
Not a bunch of great people to have out in the wind.

I'm not apologizing for them. As usual, I'm pointing out that immoderate behaviour begets immoderate behaviour.
Protestors should be treated equally in accordance with their behaviour, not with the purpose of the protest.
Careful. We here have nothing to congratulate ourselves for in the justice department either. Our university and college groups, the demonstrations in Toronto over Hamas and then the lack of response by those in authority all point towards the same contempt for the rule of law that Trump's actions and the January 6th actions did/have done. The only difference is one of degree and I would suggest that one is simply the precursor for the other

It is consistent with his position that the election was illegitimate, illegal and stolen from him.
Then he is free to try to amend the Constitution by whatever means are required. If there is to be any respect or legitimacy for a nation's foundational law, you can't have it subject to one person's opinion, regardless of who that person is. If what he has done is considered legitimate, then any part of the Constitution or any of their law are subject to his personal fiat.
The 14th Amendment was passed after the US Civil War to, in part, grant citizenship to former slaves. Adoption was a requirement for a State to re-join the Union. I wonder if it would be considered okay for him to sign away that part too.
It is within his authority to direct his DOJ to take a case involving a person he defines in the Order and move it through the courts.

I'm certainly looking forward to the Trump administration looking into all the aspects of past election interference. I don't think Jan 6 was a seditious assault on democracy - rather a protest seeking to delay the proceedings in order to look into claims of electoral malfeasance. There are bad apples in every bucket, which has been sensationalized to distract from the many aspects of malfeasance that occurred.

Man, every rule book I have ever read is subject to the discretion of the referee, inspector or judge.
Good news. In a well functioning society, if you are so inclined and are willing to spend the time and money necessary, you can find a venue to challenge the ruling.
POTUS47 has ruled. He will be challenged. And the sun will come up tomorrow.

It's as counter productive as signing a EO to find ways to reduce costs for Americans but then sign a EO rolling back Bidens lower drug cost measures.Trump: rants and threatens trade wars over synthetic drugs entering the US.
