He's not authoritarian.If there's nothing authoritarian about his agenda, why did he fire the Inspectors General?

Fired watchdogs can’t be reinstated despite Trump’s ‘obvious’ law breaking, court decides
A federal judge determined the removed inspectors general could not show irreparable harm.www.govexec.com
Under the Inspector General Act of 1978 (as amended by the 2008 Inspector General Reform Act), the president has broad authority to remove an establishment IG.Why did he fire the Inspectors General?
The Trump administration mirrors the 1995 Mexican peso bailout under President Clinton, where the ESF provided $20 billion in swaps (plus guarantees). That action faced lawsuits and congressional pushback but was upheld as constitutional.When did Congress authorize $40 Billion to Argentina?
It was not done without evidence.Why did his DOJ indict Comey without evidence?
Obama.Which president has successfully intimated media sources?
Such delightful people.
Shit that one interaction totally changes the course of history wiping out the fact that 7+ million citizens peacefully marched yesterday against the worst POTUS in generations.
Let me know when the no kings rally truly changes one single thing. I will wait…Shit that one interaction totally changes the course of history wiping out the fact that 7+ million citizens peacefully marched yesterday against the worst POTUS in generations.
since you backtracked on J6 you have no moral high ground here.
Wow! You seem lost. Let me help.What I find interesting is that all of those people who are dressed up in fantasyland garb have actually in the public squareed Donald John Trump as their King!
Why would they subject themselves to Trump being King over them during their “fantasyland reign” idea being promoted in the public square?
When In real life Donald John Trump is factually/actually The 47TH to Duly Elected POTUS. He will not be reigning for a lifetime and his heir will not be the next king.
Voting for a President is very different than the crowning of a king when the subjects have no say who will be Crowned and put upon a Throne to Reign over them.
Trump is not a king. He is not reigning as a king. Fortunately, I do not live in that “fantasyland reign” idea being promoted in the public square. Thankfully!
Our Constitution will keep Trump in check. He will not have absolute and sole command over our government.
That is the desire of Trump’s current opposition party. imho
It seems to have really upset you and your fellow cult members. Good enough for now.Let me know when the no kings rally truly changes one single thing. I will wait…
The No Kings rally mobilized 7M people, or over 2% of the US population and a much, much higher percentage of those of voting age.Let me know when the no kings rally truly changes one single thing. I will wait…
Why would I be upset? I enjoyed watching the “event”. I found it interesting. The reality is….it changed absolutely nothing. Trump is still the President of the United States. And he will be until the end of his term.It seems to have really upset you and your fellow cult members. Good enough for now.

A large part of your population taking to the streets can fall dictators, bring economies to a halt and collapse governments. You need 3.5% of the population to change the world. The rally showed they can do that, if necessary.

It Takes 3.5% of the Population to Change the World
Research by Harvard political scientist Erica Chenoweth has shown that movements which actively engage just 3.5% of the population rarely fail to bring about change. This finding comes from studyin…thinkbynumbers.org
I found it all very entertaining. Made for a wonderful day of laughs.These people are really out there, and this is another example of the mental illness of the Left.
The USA has never had a King.
There is no one out there deputing the fact trump is still POTUS. Did you and Trix get an email giving you these talking points this morning?Why would I be upset? I enjoyed watching the “event”. I found it interesting. The reality is….it changed absolutely nothing. Trump is still the President of the United States. And he will be until the end of his term.

Trix? What an odd reply. I have had no contact with anyone. Paranoid muchThere is no one out there deputing the fact trump is still POTUS. Did you and Trix get an email giving you these talking points this morning?
Trump is now our President and will remain so until the end of his term.Wow! You seem lost. Let me help.
1. This is not actually about a king. The king reference is to help us all get in touch with our American heritage. If you recall, the American revolution was about renouncing the king and establishing a government by the people, for the people. The issue now is the most of America (75% by one poll) says we are losing our democracy; with most of that group believing we sliding toward autocracy.
No one is suggesting Trump will be a king, but most of us are concerned he will be, if left unchecked, an autocrat. A monarch is a type of autocrat, so quibbling over whether you should take the "No Kings" title literally is silly as king v autocrat is a distinction without a difference.
2. You have far too much faith in a piece of paper. The Constitution is completely worthless unless people are willing to risk their lives, or at least their congressional seat in its defense. Today, we have seen very few heroes and far more enablers, including and especially leadership in the other two branched of government designed to keep the executive in check.
The piece of paper called the Constitution will not stop Trump. First, he has no respect for it, and second, he pushes the limits of the rule of law every chance he gets, which is why he continually gets shot down in court. Unfortunately, over the past 18 months the SCOTUS has gone extra-constitutional (overriding precedent and creating to new law) on us enabling him to get by these pesky lower court decisions. OTH, the SCOTUS has no power to stop Trump, even if they wanted to, without the DoJ willing to prosecute or the Senate willing to convict on impeachment.
3. Trump IS a wannabe autocrat. Left unchecked, that is what he will become. Do you not understand the Trump is following Viktor Orban's blueprint for using the levers of government to neuter its constitution? First, Orban was a consultant to Project 2025, which is the blueprint for this plan. Then, its chief architect, Russel Voight, was named OMB Director, the actual position in government that allows you to implement such a plan. Project 2025 starts with replacing line level government professionals with loyalists so there is no institutional resistance but rather the enablement of loyalists.
Just as Orban did, he has already attacked, with a great deal of success, the institutions that could stop him, including the press, academic institutions and the courts (including attorneys). He is also ridding the military of those not loyal to him.
Trump showed us all last time that he can not accept the results of free and fair elections and does not want to leave office. There is no indication, short of a health issue (which is a real possibility) that he will just walk away when his term is done. Who is going to stop him from staying? .... I want names.

Um, that was in response to Biden being kicked to the curb not the protests from yesterday. another lie by the MAGA team.so why have a No Kings day ?
doesn't make sense
I just read ... Karine Jean-Pierre wrote, "'You know what? I’m going to become an independent. I don’t think I can stomach being in the Democratic Party anymore.'"
good for her !
So you both just happen to be repeating the same talking points.Trix? What an odd reply. I have had no contact with anyone. Paranoid much![]()
It was not meant to change anything in the short run.... this is a long term play, similar to the Tea Parties of 2010, but actually on a much grander and more organized scale. Again, 3.5% taking to the streets will change the world. This group showed us they are capable of doing so.….it changed nothing.![]()
Apparently. Odd that you are so bothered by that. Oh…wait.So you both just happen to be repeating the same talking points.
