  1. >“Donald Trump and his transition team are already breaking the law,” Warren said in a post on the social platform X. “I would know because I wrote the law. Incoming presidents are required to prevent conflicts of interest and sign an ethics agreement.”

    >“This is what illegal corruption looks like,” she added

    >Last month, Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.), raised concerns in a letter to Trump and Vice President-elect JD Vance over their campaign’s failure to go into presidential transition agreements with the federal government. Raskin warned that the hold up could have an unfavorable impact on the transfer of power in the upcoming year.

  4. You haven’t seen anything yet. Thanks to SCOTUS, Trump is going to commit more high crimes than any human being in history.

  5. *Warren: Trump transition ‘already breaking the law’*

    Whey you install a convicted felon as president would you expect anything less?

  6. Didn’t you hear, Trump can do whatever he wants and not get in trouble.

  7. lol yeah, he tried to overthrow the government on live national television several years ago, racked up a zillion felonies, etc. and said government decided to let him walk. as it turns out, when you let lifelong sociopaths do whatever they want, they keep going!

  8. As we’ve seen for fucking 50 years, the law doesn’t apply to Trump.

  9. They don’t care! They don’t care that they are breaking the law and the American people don’t seem to care that they don’t care.

    America as we knew it is dead. The law is a joke played on all of us by billionaires.

    Let’s stop whining that they’re doing it and start figuring out how to resist.

  10. If Nothing is done about it then is it really breaking the law?

  11. Openly broke laws for all of us to see for four years, continued doing so beyond, was not held accountable for any of it, and the majority of the electorate voted him back in with rousing enthusiasm.

    If you don’t like what the Trump administration does, I’m afraid pointing out illegal or immoral actions is wholly ineffective. The majority of voting and abstaining Americans say, “so what?” to this.

    EDIT: Adding that he’d openly committed crimes for decades before 2016, and realized minimal accountability. If Trump’s voters’ key reason to support him really is “he tells it like it is,” then perhaps the opposition needs to dramatically simplify their language, and prove the many ways that Trump “tells it like it isn’t.”

  12. Guess what? Nothing can or will be done about it. This is the new normal. Authoritarianism is here to stay.

  13. This election proved that laws are meaningless. At least, for the 1%. I don’t think the 1% is prepared for what happens when the remaining 99% decide that laws are meaningless, too.

  14. Like, ok, maybe don’t politely concede to lawless fascism. Normally the threat of lawless fascism is what wars are for. I get that we’re never going there, but the least we can do is not politely roll over 🤷

  15. What did you expect, it’s just beginning. Trump being able to still run after Jan 6 is the real problem.

  16. Ok, so asshole doesn’t get to take office if he can’t sign basic paperwork. There, I just solved the problem. I wouldn’t be able to work where I do if I didn’t sign all of the paperwork required

  17. There is no law anymore. Not for them. They have the supreme court and will pack it some more.

    The law is dead.

  18. Better get Merrick Garland on that right away, LOL.

  19. It’s almost like the guy is a convicted felon or something. Weird

  20. Like that ever stopped him before. Let’s stop pretending we live in a nation of laws, those are only for the dirty poors.

  21. The real question is what are the consequences if he doesn’t sign?

    Does it really matter now? It’s been made clear, rules don’t matter because they are not enforced.

  22. There should be a law that prevents lawyers from delaying high-profile court cases that can end up ruining the future of the whole damn nation. Trump belongs in a dark, cold cell and the key should be thrown away.

  23. This is going to be the most corrupt administration in history and make his first term look like child’s play

  24. What does it matter now? Those that didn’t vote when they were fully capable of it can go jump in the nearest lake. Those that voted for trump be cause chicken fat and “i DoNt like KaMaLa” can go to hell. Case closed.

  25. I say this not to be flippant or funny, but Trump is above the law. Not US presidents, just Trump. Trump cannot be prosecuted because the judicial branch through a combination of incompetency (Garland), corruption (Cannon), and judicial capture (SCOTUS) has literally given him the god pass. Combined with MAGA control of the senate and house. Trump won, he can do whatever he wants, with US taxpayer $$ behind him, an army of sycophants and legacy media on his side.

  26. Dems need to get with the program and realize the game has changed. These people are not bound by rules or laws.

  27. >”Law”

    Stop saying this word. It means nothing in America.

  28. People really don’t understand what’s coming. This won’t just be a lawless administration but aggressively so.

  29. Doesn’t matter anymore, unless a Democrat does it

  30. He’s basically influencing current things without the authority

  31. Trump’s playing chicken with Biden, hope Biden doesn’t blink first.

    And while he has no more Fs to give, release the Epstein files, pack the Court, ram through all 66 federal judges, and embarrass the Saudis, release any and all 911 classified material, make them so mad that they won’t do business with Jamie Dimon or Goldman Sachs or Jared Kushner.

  33. He doesn’t care. The Supreme Court has decreed that he is above the law, and the Republicans in Congress are his bitches.

    (this is a response that will apply to thousands of articles/posts over the next four years.)
