Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

A lot of firms are developing plans in secret to avoid the eye of Sauron right now.
Ah yes, their super-secret plans to......sue. In a rigged court system. That ultimately leads to a Supreme Court that has already declared Trump a king in all but name with almost unchecked power.
I'm sure we'll hear a lot about that in the future. And by "a lot", I mean nothing.
These are the avenues in which we've described our just system. If we dont use them first to prove their illegitimacy, then our own teardown is not validated. These lawsuits build precedence so that when we, like Germany, do away with our dictator, the society that arises from it will have better tools to work with legally.
But I do agree and empathize that the pitchforks and torches should already be out. A whole lot of people just lost their retirements.
Germany didn't do away with its dictator; he did away with himself. Mussolini would be a better example.
Italy is not exactly okay right now with crawling back to the right. Germany was for a while and it might be more apt because no one is going to touch Trump, in reality.
That's not a "secret plan". That's doing what they should have done the minute these EOs were signed.
Silence doesnt mean secrecy. We the People should be loud. These law firms should shut up and draft plans. They shouldn't broadcast their intentions to the regime, let the filings do that.

Actually, I believe it's the exact opposite. We the people do not have the power and resources to be loud. We the people can easily be disappeared to El Salvador's prison system. We the people elected our officials and gave them the power to be loud. And when they fail -- and they have failed -- we should hope that our representatives in the legal system, who have years of knowledge, billions of dollars and vast resources to use those resources to fight back. We the people being the ones that have to resort to revolting should be the last option after everything else has been exhausted, not the first. These people have unlimited resources, billions of dollars, and vast swaths of legal knowledge. Not us.
Law firms should have had motions filed before the ink to sign the EOs targeting them was even dry. But instead, they're going to Trump and offering him hundreds of millions of free legal services before he even targets them. They're not fighting Trump. They're tripping over each other in a race to see which ones can capitulate to him first.

Bullshit. 100% Grade A, Trump-approved bullshit.
Their intentions should be one thing. Defending our justice system against these exact acts. And they should be broadcasting those intentions on every form of media that exists, daily. "We intend to fight you in court through this and force our court system to either admitting their intentions of ceding even more power to Trump and letting this country fall into a dictatorship by allowing Trump to continue doing this, or standing up for the Constitution and the rule of law."
They should be broadcasting that daily.
