Arrest him and try him for treason.
He has committed acts that adhere him to enemies of the United States and publicly admitted to this.
Who does the arresting? All 3 branches of the govt are stacked with traitors. Its too late.
you really really haven't been paying attention to the head of the judicial branch of us government, namely the supreme court, and their recent determination that presidents cannot be held criminally responsible for their actions while in office, the department of justice from where all federal prosecutions and investigations come, reports directly to donald trump, the supreme court's republican majority was installed by donald trump personally. there's nobody that will arrest musk or trump. so, again, i ask, now what?
Technically that ruling stated the President was above all laws.
Musk and his child goons aren't.
But, also, yes, if the FBI was going to do its fucking job it would have by now.
Within the stupidity of the US system there is a legal argument for the President, in the execution of their Constitutional powers and the legislation passed by Congress to have immunity in upholding the law. Personally I think the US system is outdated and dangerous and always has been compared to more mature parliamentary democracies where no single person has much power. But it is what it is. You just can't tell some dumb cunts because they get all defensive instead of taking in information that might actually help them. Perhaps keep it in mind for the third revolution (along with SI units). When the President is acting against congress I don't believe immunity should hold and an unbiased future supreme court could overturn any ruling otherwise.
If laws are broken by the executive then Congress has the power and the obligation to act. They are sworn to act. If they don't then they answer to the mob as that is all that remains. I don't think the mob is a good resolution to this. Things can get worse.
Remember there is a gap between the regressive shitfuckery the majority of people who bothered to vote expect and want from this executive and the outrageous law breaking that might force a limp and insipid Congress to grow a spine. If they haven't selected a line in the sand now and committed themselves to act they are going to struggle to catch up to events.
Trump can pardon them for anything and everything at a federal level, and the current Supreme Court says you can do nothing about it. That makes whoever the president favors above the law.
Hence the phrase, "Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable." If the only recourse to an intolerable situation is death, then someone is going to die.
He can. So. Lets make him
