I’m clutching my pearls waiting for the Dems to do nothing about it

  1. I mean, you elect a felon, you gotta expect a bit of law breaking, right?

  2. This would be classified as an official act.

    He has complete immunity from it.

    Even if SCOTUS says he broke the law – which they won’t – he can still terminate them. Direct they no longer be paid. Direct they be barred from entering office. Direct their access to systems be removed. And appoint whoever the hell he wants.

    All of these are official acts. Even defying the SCOTUS. It’s an official act.

    The only body that can hold him accountable is Congress and Republicans in Congress would never go against Dear Leader.

  3. This time around, he has the SCOTUS “do whatever the hell you want” card, so there will be no repercussions.

  4. Is it me or is he looking REALLY bad? Like a slow melt or something?

  5. They hold all 3 branches . Wtf you think they can realistically do?

  6. What exactly do you *want* the Dems to do from their current position? Schiff is one of the better members of Congress; if he had a better path forward I’m sure he would take it.

  7. OP you obviously didn’t understand the seriousness of the election. A democratic minority cannot do anything. The people elected a fascist.

  8. And what, pray tell, would you have them do? Recommend the Trump administration DOJ investigate him?

  9. Personally, I think they should all continue to show up for work & do their job. Hear me out…

    The law requires the president to notify Congress of the reasons for the removals within 30 days prior to their removal. Him firing them breaks the law, no question. No one will do anything about it because of the presidential immunity crap.

    However, anyone forcibly removing these people from their offices or preventing them from doing their jobs is STILL BREAKING THE LAW & they do NOT have immunity.

    The real question is if those who attempt to physically or functionally impair the IGs’ work are willing to go to jail for it.

    Yes, Trump could pardon them but NOT until they were convicted of a crime. That would require time, court actions, further public scrutiny, & an actual legal decision. And we know the justice system does not move quickly.

    And even if preemptive pardons are issued, I’d think the IGs could continue to show up so that a pardon has to be reissued every time someone attempted to remove them. Pardons cannot be given for future actions.

  10. Lol what? It’s up to the people to vote him out, or vote a branch for the Dems before they can do anything about it. Do your part first before expecting someone else to clean up your mess

  11. Like what? They don’t have the courts, the legislative branch, committee chairs, executive branch, DOJ, fbi, etc. The time to do something about this was 3 months ago. If you don’t realize this, you represent a fundamental problem with our electorate.

  12. What are Democrats supposed to do? You voted for this.

  13. Regrettably at this point there’s very little the Demos can do. Republicans hold the most power right now in all three branches. Not to mention the Democrats have not been collectively on the same page in about eight years or so…I just hope that the radio silence going on means something is brewing under the surface, but I won’t hold my breath.

  14. He can’t break the law, we have proven to him that as long as it’s “Presidential” he can do anything. Even if it’s not “Presidential,” even if he’s convicted, nothing will be done.

  15. The felon president committed another crime? Who could have predicted that?

  16. Why doesn’t he say “all IGs should remain in their posts and fight this illegal action”. Words don’t do shit if there isn’t action behind it 

  17. He’s a fucking felon and they are shocked he broke the law, are you fucking stupid. Did u know fried chicken came from chickens lmao

  18. Oh no! Trump broke the law. What a bad man. He needs to be punished.

    Dude could literally murder someone in broad daylight in front of a crowd and police ready to arrest and he wouldn’t face any consequences whatsoever

    We need to stop pointing out whenever he breaks the law as if it matters anymore. Just assume everything he does is illegal and that it doesn’t matter.

  19. still blaming the Democrats? Who doesn’t even hold any majority?? Are you kidding??!

  20. I heard this clown is untouchable?

    Has he shot anyone on Times Square yet?

  21. you forget the part where Trump was impeached 2x by democrats and yet people still absolve the republicans of any liability.

  22. What the hell CAN they do? He’s got all of the federal govt under his thumb at this point.

  23. Republicans do shit and somehow everyone blames Democrats for not stopping them, despite being basically powerless right now.

    Every single one of them tried to prevent Hegseth being confirmed and it was still meaningless.

    What exactly do you expect?

    Seriously?

    What’s the fucking point of this post?

  24. The IGs themselves may have standing to sue, but democrats don’t.  Trump is immune, but the question remains if members of his administration are.  

    The rule of law doesn’t exist anymore, so without an enforcement mechanism laws don’t matter.

  25. Not much to do until Republicans start carrying about their crimes instead of the ones they make up about democrats.

  26. The Dems control less branches of government than your mom.

  27. What do you want Dems to do about it now? The country elected him and his party to run the show. Yall shoulda showed up in November if you wanted something different.

  28. what exactly are they supposed to do?

    they don’t hold any branch of government.

    it’s weird how everything is always the Democrats fault. in my adult life the last 25 years Democrats have only had the actual votes to pass laws for 18 months that was the first year and a half of the Obama administration when we got the ACA.

    like everybody so mad and everybody wants Democrats to do everything but we don’t have the power to do anything.
