Trump is the libertarian paradox, where one must use government power to reduce government power.
“Their actions, directed incidentally at Trump, have actually been focused on undermining the very things they claim to be supporting, democracy and the rule of law.”
Skinsuiting and we were a fraction of an inch from patriotism meaning the mandatory, and enthusiastic, support of progressive marxist revolution.
The danger hasn’t passed yet but hopefully more people see what is going on. The Democrats are caught in their own paradox, how to celebrate violence and terrorism while also concealing that it is happening. DNC media has been good at coordinating this effort but social media gives us a fighting chance at discerning reality.

Trump is not libertarian. These shenanigans aren’t rule of law. But I’m against what’s going on: it’s illegal; over-the-top callous theater; and at this point, likely to fail with blowback. This is Rand’s website so I’m not saying more.
Is shutting down a federal agency that organizes pro Hamas demonstrations on college campuses that terrorize Jews one of these shenanigans? Is deporting violent criminal illegal aliens a shenanigan?
Trump is using government power to reduce government power and has the government finally obeying immigration laws rather than using government illegally import people hostile to Americans and America.
Another example of that is Trump’s work to protect the 2A and limit infringement of 2A rights. No anti-democracy person would do that. This more than any other action, tells you that Trump is not a fascist and is trying to protect citizen liberty.
2A community is fired up. Strong opinions pro/con about Trump. Hard group to please lol
I don’t even think their impoundment is illegal argument is valid; the 1973 -74 impoundment law would simply make it illegal for him to arbitrarily impound. If Trump through DOGE uncovered evidence of fraud or malfeasance etc it would be facilitating a crime for him to go ahead and make the payments to USAID or anyone else he. He would not be breaking the law by withholding payment(s) (judge’s order or not); he would in fact be facilitating a crime by making the payment.
Wonder if this is doable; the “genius plan” is for Trump’s operatives to defy the judges orders and carry out Trump’s agenda. The judges at some point would start holding the Trump administration in “contempt of court”. The suggested plan is for Trump to just repeatedly pardon them as needed. They are Federal judges so he has said pardon ability.
The assumption was that individual judges could give ‘impartial’ and apolitical rulings with the contrasting rulings being eventually sorted out in the appellate process. This IS political and there lies the problem: Lawfare will degenerate into Warfare at some point if the stakes are high enough.

Yes. At some point the Trump administration will simply defy the edicts of the individual federal judges and if they go for contempt charges simply give themselves a pardon. Then the left will scream constitutional crisis. Unless judge John Roberts (and/or the full SCOTUS) intervenes and exercises their authority against said individual federal judges.
“Sweeping Trump Order Overhauls US Elections, Including Citizenship Requirement”
“President Donald Trump on Tuesday signed a sweeping executive order to overhaul elections in the U.S., including requiring documentary proof of citizenship to register to vote in federal elections and demanding that all ballots be received by Election Day.”
Sounds good to me…expect however lawsuits aplenty. One caveat I assume it would allow for absentee ballots (from our service men serving abroad) provided they are postmarked on/before election day.

You’re not saying more?
Good.
You’re wrong.
Well, I agree with you.
What shenanigans?
Is shutting down a federal agency that organizes pro Hamas demonstrations on college campuses that terrorize Jews one of these shenanigans? Is deporting violent criminal illegal aliens a shenanigan?

Trump’s GENIUS PLAN to STOP the JUDICIAL COUP.

Russia has nukes. Ukraine had nukes. Who invaded whom?
Pakistan has nukes. The Taliban operate without hindrance.
Afghanistan has no nukes, the US does. Who got kicked out?

When did Judges assume they, themselves, are above judgement?
We allowed it.
