Trump planning flurry of executive orders for first day, top aide says

Meh, most of it will be challenged in court.
That's one of the first things I noticed with his previous try; For all of Obamas flaws, it at least seemed that everything was thought through with lawyers in the loop to make sure the execitive orders had a reasonable chance of surviving a legal challenge.
And then this clown comes along and gives the impression that he handed someone a post-it that said "no moar muzleems!!!111one"
That's why he's been stacking the courts for the last eight years.
How about this new thing that came out today - he's establishing the board to purge generals.
Is he readying complete takeover?
Of course. He’s already said he only needs to be a dictator on Day One. And the if you vote for him, “You’ll never have to vote again.”
AND HERE WE ARE BECAUSE AMERICA IS RETARDED
That was taken out of context how dare you.... He was talking to the religious people who never vote... He just wanted them to vote that one time... Come on man.. he's not a dictator... I mean all his friends are super chill people known for humanitarian deeds...
Well that's terrifying. He knows the military won't back him in a coup... As is.
Considering how much time it took Obamas orders to even get to the Supreme Court, it can be as biased as he wants it: There's no way they'll get through all of it in a timely manner. Plus, there are still state courts.
Ooh I hope to retain your optimism in the next few years…
Challenged in court? The bloody dude was announced above the law BY THE SUPREME COURT. As long as he OFFICIALLY kills all opposition, he's got a full green light on everything. The only thing stopping him will be military officers refusing orders that are too fucking outlandish. Tho I doubt the police will care too much.
Immunizing Trump as an individual from prosecution related to acts performed as President, while deeply problematic, will not prevent legal challengs his EO's. Striking down a president's EO is completely different than convicting a president with a crime.
I don't really see the difference, considering he can just lock anybody who opposes him up. People are already bending over for him out of fear, people that used to be critical of him. Challenging him will take some serious balls facing a suicide mission.
considering he can just lock anybody who opposes him up
He cannot. He says he can and will, but he has absolutely no legal authority to order people's arrest or imprisonment.
Oh sure the courts will sure stop him guys! He won't totally just, do whatever the fuck he wants
yeah, they'll put him in jail, you'll see! With all the things he did that won't be long! Very soon! Right?
They are already putting him in jail for all the other crimes he's committed... Shouldn't be too hard to give him more time!
how is it that everyone seems to have forgotten about this: https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/23pdf/23-939_e2pg.pdf
trump owns the judicial branch and they put him above the law.
That's the thing about the massive lumbering behemoth that is "government".
Despite anyone's best efforts, actually changing shit is a slow, arduous, sometimes impossible process.
Not saying he won't try, but he'll be about as successful as making America fit his vision as Biden, Obama, Bushel, Clinton, .... Etc were.
The other good news, is that historically, 100% of the time (except for NK), When the strong man dies, the party dies with it.
My optimistic prediction is that Trump keeps all of our blood pressure high for 4 years, and then we witness the actual death of the GOP, and that in average, most things will stay more or less the same.
I'm going to let myself believe this but for the same reason I might have weed.
