MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell is a vital commentator. He also nails it: .

“No matter what does happen, there will be no enforcement power for the judge's order in Donald Trump's Washington. What you're seeing now is the suit and tie version of January 6th."

Then the judge should specifically order some kind of enforcement - duh us marshalls, incarceration for non compliance????? Somebody ought to have an idea and boilerplate enforcement specifics for orders

The best way to get enforcement is to goad Trvmp into firing Musk. Start calling Musk King Musk, or acting President Musk. Make statements of adoration and compliment Musk see how fast the ketchup starts flying.

Which is why he should be eliminated. No president should be allowed to do what he is doing.

Easy to say but trump has been planning this for years and he found the right people to use as sheep. I do not hold out any hope for our country when people refuse to listen to anything but FOX. I have lost friends but I don’t care.

Without the Warning (I signed on immediately knowing Steve is a no bs guy who loves my country and all it was before fatass and all it can continue to be if we stop them in their tracks. Clarence Thomas is a #1 traitor who needs a bag put over his deceitful oath breaking head and run out of town on a rail and his wife is a traitor to everything and just an ordinary money grubbing fatass beyatch who betrayed all of us sneakily and intentionally They should go to hell

The irony is that Donald would put Clarence on a slave ship faster than you can blink an eye - so Clarence you are the ultimate of Tom’s played by a know nothing fatass grifter

Gee Clarence u r a product of dei- wouldn’t u say?? - am I getting that right- let’s throw your black ass off the court and see who catches you

Hahahahaha no one- especially not Harlan Crowe man!!

Yous a fool been exploited your whole life and you thoughr$$$$ would make up for it

Well pal not happening. History will show via your legal process once a boy kowtowing to whitey always a boy

Enough hate- it’s seeping out of my pores

I am a 75 yo white lady lawyer who took an oath to the constitution. I know what it means

You should be disbarred and incarcerated for treason- all of you

I had a hope humanity would make 1 iota of progress in this millennium. I’m wrong so I give up on humanity - it’s just the same bs over and over - we are stuck in a real bad feedback loop and elonia and his lost boy geek tribe ain’t doing nothin but perfecting the Grift

All of you have your greedy mean heads up your own asses

Sorry Steve I’m righteously pissed off that response to these twerps has been so slow

Musk & Trump, who have notoriously sh1tcanned everything they've touched, want to run the US like a business. OUR FREEDOM is not a product. OUR liberty is protected by the CONSTITUTION. You cannot fundamentally DESTROY our government by FIAT. Ask Mussolini how that worked out for him.

If you don't know about this, please read and share. This is what I've been spamming reddit, youtube and democratic congresspeople with this since monday (im def not the only one but it seems to be picking up steam): https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2024/oct/03/jd-vance-anti-democracy-movement-leader?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Other

I like your spirit and attached article. However, the way I think this will go is WE have faith in law/order, DOJ, US Supreme Courts, civil and Federal courts stopping, slowing the destruction down. OK, so Musk/Rats access all DC databases, fat chance but trump's DOJ or civil courts indict them. trump pardons them all in Fed. courts and threatens, buys off, orders the civil cases be sent to Fed. courts, juries blackmailed-everything HANDLED the old Mafia Mob way. Once coup is almost done, Trump resigns and as yet unseen JD Vance is President. Vance pardons Trump and SCOTUS new immunity helps there too. So Musk/Rats/Trump and any other treasonists are free to use DC databases anyway they want. Crime was commited before pardons. Sold to MAGA, Russia-OOPS I'm pardoned.

Legislature is broken by an immovable majority of trump/GOP/MAGA representatives. I cannot believe they destroy our people, our nation to keep a job. There has to be blackmail, physical threats because I think people are basically good. If I was under these madmen's thumbs, I would resign with an illness, get shot in the foot and be in hospital, rehab for a year, have a nervous breakdown, claim some other calamity to resign and go home. How can these GOP have depraved indifference to facts, people's suffering, erosion of all faith in democratic republicanism, destruction of honor and love of our 250 yrs of United States of America. I weep and wait for the great UPRISING that seems to never happen.

Hard disagree. They are actively using law and order to assault us but the laws do not apply to them. They broke the social contract. We should act accordingly.

I agree. But, where is everyone who sees this? I've been waiting since 2017 for the uprising-massive protests, general strikes, tax avoidance measures/tax revolt, sit-ins to block things with arrests ensuing, massive boycotts of all purchasing except essentials for life, walk-outs, blocking highways as MAGA did in COVID, not paying local and state taxes in Red States that ban abortion, refuse to treat pregnant females with desparate health needs, want to deny human rights, freedoms, voting by resistrictive legislatures. WE need to put ourselves in a battle and be all in as millions of Americans have for 245 yrs. to hand over this democratic, law/order, constitutional republic. It is our calling to preserve it and honor those who came before us to preserve the idea of a "more perfect union" of, by and for the people.

Yes, it is a game of distractions by Trump setting up $ trillions for theft by Musk. It is rather simple. I did say $ trillions and I identity what I can see. In just one instance,

if they kill the Education Department, states will clamor for privatization. Education is $853 billion per year. Yes $BILLION. Ohhh. The 10-year contract(s), think $9 trillion. One graft pie. There are many $ 1 trillion pies in play. They don’t think small theft.

I suggest a new acronym. RAFT: Resistance Against Fascist Takeover.

We should all get on the RAFT together. Join the RAFT movement.

Please spread the word. All successful movements need a catchy acronym.

Exactly! Unfortunatelt for them, they forgot we're not a part of their cult and can see through the bs. Thank you as well! This isn't a right or left issue, this is a are you a patriot issue or do you want to go the treasonous route by ripping up the constitution!

The deception and lies you mention are for the purpose of having the nation heavily concerned in matters that will never happen ..... they just want to draw your attention away from their real intent.

We know Trump has said things that get the readers upset ..... what they don't know that 'King' Trump's real intentions are far more devastating to the country ...... while you worry about things that never will happen, Trump and associates are making plans to rid our nation of it's wealth.

Thanks for your service .... love your posts.

Steve, can you give a Masterclass to the elected Democrats in DC? We would all benefit from it.

ELON SHOULD HAVE BEEN STOPPED DURING THE CAMPAIGN. Giving out that money to voters must be election interference.

No shit he should (almost could) give us all a cool million, his arrogance wouldn’t allow it. I haven’t heard proof that he did it, anybody? That’s all we should need class action on eelan.

This might just be your best work yet Steve. Please don't forget how inspiring your words are and the service that you are providing for patriots. Your words will fall on deaf MAGA ears, but for those of us who respect the "rule of law" and the Constitution, they ring true and sometimes they land with humor like the Tommy Tuberville debacle — nearly fell off the sofa laughing.

I say

the military should revolt against everyone in this illegal administration and take them out and put them in Guantanamo to be held for treason...stop the pussy-footing around right now...I know that goes against the rule of law and pretty much the concept of this democracy...but less than a month into this insanity we are at an inflection point...it's either reestablishing a honest, law abiding country of laws for it's citizens or continue to swirl around the drain until we are all drowned except the handful of the rich billionaires, corrupt GOP politicians, right-wing SCOTUS and their unfit appointees that all beg for the favor of Muskrat and his second in command, tRUMP and will be willing to do anything they are told.
