Legal actions against a man above the law. Yeah, sorry FBI agents, y'all are going to have to choose between vigilante justice or no justice, like the rest of us peasants.
It doesn't sound like a very wise idea for the government to betray people who have been trained for covert ops, who may also already know how to find people that are willing to take action against the current government.
But what do I know. I'm not qualified to be president*
*Too poor, too female, and too focused on the good of the people. I have an ice cube's chance in hell.
Setting aside the question of whether Trump is above the law, this won't be suing Trump, but rather the DoJ, their employer.
And anyone enacting trumps orders. They’ll just plead guilty and take the pardon so they can get back to corrupting the nation before dinner.
More time Trump spends signing pardons the less time he spends doing other bullshit
Glad to hear it, though I'm not holding my breath for justice from Trump's DOJ.
We investigated ourselves and found no wrongdoing.
May the road rise up to meet their wheels
~~Meet your new boss Agent Cooper!~~

Civil lawsuits against a taxpayer-funded administration and the richest man in the world aren't going to touch the sides during this blitzkreig coup. Immediate intervention with arrests and sanctions, combined with widespread unrest from local authorities and public protests are likely to be the only way anything will change now, and it would have to happen soon, before Elon breaks into the final remaining departments to take over.
But at least people are trying. We have to resist. Even if it's not going to bring us to justice, it's still something to gum up the gears.
I agree, at least people are doing something. I just know that it's not enough, and its sad to sit across the Atlantic and see it all unfold in slow motion day after day. The Republican party aren't following the rulebook, running roughshod over countless historic conventions, firing people they have no right to fire, taken control of agencies responsible for paying employees. There is only a small window now before they take complete control of federal agencies. The opposition would need to also stop playing by the rulebook to even stand a chance.
Project 2025 is like the military leaders from 1914 from the European nations that were desperate to put their untested war doctrines to the test, waiting for the excuse to do it. They have the manual. They have the machinery in place and someone has turned it on. They have thousands of people dedicated to seeing this plan through in official positions of power now, each with their own small but significant part to play in the takeover. I have a feeling it is now nearly impossible to turn it off.
I really hope those opposed to the takeover have the conviction to stop what's coming, but I don't think they grasp even now what it will take to stop it now. There's an underlying assumption by key opposition figures that this will play out like a Hollywood storyline and giving big speeches with the right words will mean the Constitution and other existing legislation will save them. Trump's cabal didn't follow the law before, so it will do nothing to stop them now.
Can't wait to see who presides over this case
