Barely wheezing at this point
What a surprise! /s
That's how fascism works, slowly, one small step at a time so the majority of the public barely notice the change...they only notice when it's too late - when it actually affects their lives...and that's when the mid-terms arrive.
It'll be too late...not just for free america but also for Europe/UK where trump's foot soldiers, (vance, rubio, and foreign agents such as farage in the uk), are already busying themselves planting the seeds of fascism.
Its incredibly frustrating to watch everyone slowly realize that we’ve been hit by a train when you’ve been telling everyone in the bus that we have been driving on tracks instead of pavement for the past 10 miles and the bus driver was laughing maniacally
To be clear, the US is nurturing the seeds of fascism, Putin I don't want to say planted, but found the strains and cultivated them.
What the political figures are doing is nothing compared to the cia and oligarch's machinations. It really is like that, worldwide fascist seizure of democracy, such as it is in it's sorry state.
U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols, a Trump appointee in Washington
Seems pretty basic that should be in the headline
After law school, Nichols was a law clerk to [Nixon and Reagan darling] Judge Laurence Silberman of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit from 1996 to 1997. He then clerked for Justice Clarence Thomas of the U.S. Supreme Court from 1997 to 1998.
He looks like he puts ketchup on steak
And then claims it’s spicy
Just look at him; he's so white he cries milk and farts chalk.
Nichols agreed with the Republican Trump administration’s contention that it was too early to block the order because it has yet to be implemented.
The ol’ “easier to ask for forgiveness than permission” law I guess.
he and his entire family would have to show up at the polls in FL. That could be fun....
Don’t worry, they’ll carve out exceptions, that are ridiculously false, that happen to help him, his family, and friends.
Agonal breath is right.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!
