  1. things that stop other governments:

    – war
    – mass protests
    – general strikes
    – atomic weaponry

    things which stop Donald Trump, America’s CEO:

  2. YES — HE IS!! According to the Supreme Court AND Republicans.

  3. Great, so what is Bernie gonna do about it? Regurgitate his stump speech for the millionth time?

  4. You can march on Washington with about 2 or 3 million of your closest friends and demand your government back.

  5. You know what’s interesting. There are currently real kings and queens in the world and I haven’t read that they are doing this shit to their fellow citizens.

  6. If he isn’t challenged and then does not comply with rulings, what then ? Lord Donnie ?

  7. He is a fascist dictator – lame duck Donald, will be even lamer in 2026.

  8. Yeah let’s starve our kids and pregnant women and then call ourselves pro life. F’ing idiots. I hate all of them.

  9. But who’s going to stop him. Barring a revolution. I don’t see a way to block his insane policies, which are mainly based on retribution not progress

  10. All the leftist NGO’s that contributed the $1 Billion of wasted political contributions to the Harris/Walz campaign, aren’t going to get their coffers restocked with taxpayer dollars anymore… 🥲

  11. I mean; no. But he could probably start a $king department and make it official

  12. When anything you do is sanctioned by the courts, as long as you simply declare it to be in the course of your official duties, you are effectively ’king’.

    This timeline is toxic and poisonous thanks to the corrupt Robert’s court.

  13. All of these budget orders should be out of the purveyance of the president. That responsibility lies directly with congress.

  14. lol Bernie is still voting for every single cabinet officer Trump puts in front him

  15. If only Bernie hadn’t worked so hard to sabotage Hillary Clinton’s campaign, and accepted that 20% of the primary vote for an outsider was something to be incredibly proud of, and would have bought him influence.

    Instead he went after the Democratic primary process, and laid a blueprint for Trump on how to attack the electoral system.
