I would say that the US is moving into "the law doesn't matter, only the President's whim matters" territory faster than I expected, but this is about on schedule.
@evacide always a bad sign when you’ve got a guy acting as president before inauguration day
@evacide
Legalized Organized Crime
@evacide Well, the president as the boss of the executive has always had the discretionary power to choose to not prosecute law breakers without having to explain himself... the interesting thing is that Apple and Google and the folks running name servers assume that he means it.
@martinvermeer @evacide People are fussing about this when SCOTUS decided years ago that the fourth and eighth amendments don’t matter and Trump’s DHS is supposed to do a bunch of immigration raids on Tuesday. I just can’t get that worked up about it.
@MisuseCase @evacide Yeah, a luxury problem. And don't get me started on the slave-patrol amendment. SCOTUS has been captured like, forever.
@evacide have I missed something?
@peteriskrisjanis @evacide Tiktok doesn't have to follow the law because Trump said so.
@evacide There's still a 5-year statute of limitations meaning the next administration can enforce the law putting companies providing access to tiktok at great financial risk. FWTW.
@evacide He thinks he is a Julius Caesar, but he is a parody of a dictator. A muppet wagged by the rich and powerful.
@evacide
My cousin, closing her department in the Biden Administration today says Trumpers have rejected all coordination in the transition.
Detailed memos will go unread because fascism will bring its own way of doing things. Reinventing administrative wheels is very costly for taxpayers, but freedom! or something.
@evacide surely living in a timeline where it becomes the most powerful dictatorship ever is gonna be all nice
@evacide
Yeah, this a cluster fuck on Steroidz awaitin to happen.
@evacide I like the irony that Presidential Immunity now means he can ignore or oppose Supreme Court decisions, as long as it's an official act.
@evacide je suis du même avis.
