Lock him up.

Every accusation is a confession

Checks and balances.

Checks and balances.

Checks and balances.

Fascism and collapse.

Oops.

No one is supposed to follow illegal orders. But, who is to say what's illegal and isn't? And who are you going to call when they force you? The people executing Trumps orders? Is it worth not going home to your family over, or should you just let the courts decide? And who is to adjudicate your guilt? And can you even afford to fight it? Not if you're a non-corrupt civil servant.

No, there is no plan for the country choosing evil.

All the laws that were put in place after Nixon didn't really lay out a punishment. They assumed impeachment would still be the remedy used. Not sure what changed between the 70s and now that made senators afraid to challenge their president.

Do you have to be a citizen to commit treason? Did he actually obtain citizenship after committing his visa fraud? I’d like to see the long form certificate of his citizenship. Last time they complained someone was born in Africa it was a big deal…

Glad I am not the only one who had an altered view of the death penalty in light of recent events.

He didn't have to. Read this.

My first thought when seeing the headline was “quick, somebody tell the conservatives that he’s using Hillary’s server to do it, then maybe something will happen!”

You put the equivalent of mobsters in the White House and suddenly these checks don't matter. As a country we fucked around and found out.

Seriously I tried warning people but they were certain that our existing laws would hold up. It's heartbreaking.

I see no signs of that militia. Where are you? I don't even see signs of mass protest. Just idle chat online. Theres alarm, but its all complacent, Land of the free, to sit around and watch their country burn. Yet they still make fun of the french for WWII.

At least the french know how to fucking riot.

Like [insert dystopian story here], but stupider. That seems to be the theme.

As an unelected, unappointed worker he shouldn't have any power outside of DOGE (which kind of doesn't even exist).

Yes. He has literally committed a capital offense. He could literally hang for this.

Most definitely. The article mentioned USAJobs, which everyone goes through, including the CIA and the other alphabet agencies.

I don't know if the intelligence community does any sort of obfuscation for counterintelligence purposes (so that your job title isn't [Spy Grade 4 - Stationed in Greenland] outward facing to OPM) but they'll definitely have access to names and vitals for everyone in that system.

Governmentally? Not a lot. All the people who would be responsible for doing anything work for the people doing it. All the people who are supposed to have oversight either agree with it, or we're just put into the minority by voters.
The only real options available are for someone to sue in a federal court and hope they get a judge who isn't a trump appointee.

Outside the government? Legally, this is what the election decided the nation wanted, and there isn't much that can be done.
Anything outside the scope of legal action isn't going to be discussed online openly. You see small snippets of data being backed up to archive services, so you know that there are people doing things, but if you're doing something outside the scope of what the administration wants, you keep quiet.
