Trump Legalizes His Criminal Activity

[SLD]

By firing the Agency Inspector Generals and replacing them with his cronies, he can coverup any criminal activity he orders.

This is extremely disturbing.

Isn’t he immune from criminality while in office anyway?

Official acts are immune. Like officially getting rid of the Constitution.
“I hereby officially override birthright citizenship.”
If it gets to the kangaroo court that billionaires have purchased for the task, how you young think they’ll rule?
Will they allow the Constitution to be altered by decree?

I honestly don't know, but something in the back of my mind says that at some point the justices (Roberts, mostly, but a few others) might realize that ceding power to the Executive will make them a toothless entity that only rubber-stamps what "daddy" wants. Thomas' misgivings about any loss of power can no doubt be assuaged with another nice motor home or a vacation residence, but will Beer Can Brett or others take the blow to their already inflated sense of self-importance?

The sleaze is already surreal. Imagine launching a cash grab on the weekend before you're sworn in -- earning billions off the office. It's like an Onion story that was rejected for being too dopy and disconnected from reality. Then, four days in, firing inspectors general. We are in for corruption, in the Trumpian phrase, "at levels we've never seen before." This is a mobster with his hands on all the levers of power.

Their power is in doing the bidding of those that paid for them to be put in place. Toothless entity is what they are meant to be.

They've issued the decrees. I understand that there are rumors that some of them may not be allowed to immediately stand. The first judge to address any of this shit correctly identified it as shit. I wonder if it begins to smell sweeter as it works its way up to the Supremes.

Some.

If you want to do some unconstitutional shit, do lots of unconstitutional shit, all at once, and try to overload the checks and balances.

Get any of it to stick, even for a while, and you make it easier to do more of it later on.

I don't expect any changes to the Constitution. Just a lack of enforcement of anything he doesn't like.

Frankly I believe this all goes back to Merrick Garland's cowardice to prosecute Trump directly. The documents case was a slam dunk.

I was referring not to the presidential decrees but the judges altering the constitution. Look at some of the decisions by the scotus over the past few years.
