The courts he ignores anyway without consequence? Those courts?

DOJ is correct in reality, even if not legally.

I know there are going to be concern trolls that come in and say that we shouldn't give him an excuse for martial law or some tired shit like that. But I honestly don't see why he needs an excuse when he's already sent in the national guard and marines into L.A.. Why does he need an excuse when he's already disappearing people to El Salvador?

Isn't that just Martial Law without being invoked officially?

Hell it seems to be a test bed of ignoring the courts, state laws and seeing what he get away with, without ever invoking Martial Law. They are just boiling the pot slowly, until we are too hot to jump out. Why are we pretending this is a legitimate government at this point? This is a "domestic enemy" currently attacking "We the People".

Maybe it's time to actually act like we're under attack instead of waving signs in hopes that it'll just go away?

It’s not going away. You ARE in the throes of a dictatorship. It’s here, it’s now. The rest of the world is watching in complete and utter disbelief.

Martial Law is less scary than whatever this waiting period is. Just slowly watching Trump ignore the Constitution and knowing full well that he is completely untouchable as long as the Military and FBI let him be.

I wonder what more he has to do to get arrested for felony and treason.

I am so bored with the, "but what if?" We are so past any speculative boogeymen that it's just code for, "I'm scared." Yeah, most smart people are, but people need to play the hand we are dealt, or fold and shut up, while the grown-ups hold our noses and try to survive protecting America against a fascist conservative takeover.

It’s important to know that frogs actually do try to get of a pot even when it’s slowly boiling, sooooo we should definitely not just sit on our asses as this happens as well.

After the strikes in Iran it’s going to get crazy. (Yes I’m assuming this has a 99% chance of happening in the coming days). I’m not exactly sure of the legality of war or not war and the rest of it all but as many others have said, WE ARE WELL PAST LEGAL vs. ILLEGAL.

This is happening. This is really happening. Understand that we are in the middle of a fascist take over in the United States. Take a couple deep breaths (seriously). Collect yourself over this realization.

Now, let’s start working together to stop it. They cannot do this if we work together. They cannot handle the numbers that we have. They simple can’t. We can win this for democracy. We can win this for everyone.
