U.S. District Judge Amir Ali on Thursday gave the Trump administration until Monday to pay nearly $2 billion in debts to partners of the U.S. Agency for International Development and the State Department, thawing the administration’s six-week funding freeze on all foreign assistance.

      Trump gets held in contempt, pardons himself, and then it takes six months to run if he’s allowed to pardon himself from contempt through the courts

      If Trump tries to pull an Andrew Jackson, it would fall to me and the other US citizens to protest and be so disobedient that paying the bills is the lesser of the 2 evils.

      I really hope it doesn’t come to that, but if does that he will have broken the checks and balances that give our government legitimacy. And at that point, all bets are off and we, as citizens of the US, will need to decide which side of history we are going to be on. (Fuck I hate this timeline)

      Excuse my bluntness but nothing. Americans will do fucking nothing. They are the frog slowly being boiled

        We know what is happening. We have a minority MAGA/Nazi party with unelected leaders out here popping Nazi salute.

        It cannot be fixed politically. We just have to wait until the tread on the wrong right and hope things don’t get that violent when we have to throw them out of office.
