An FAA employee I know confirms agency already lacks sufficient air traffic controllers. The so-called “buyouts” and other attacks on federal employees won’t help.
Remember that fact when the flight delays (crashes?) commence and Trumpers start falsely blaming DEI or Biden.
"All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside."
Written right there in the Constitution.
The President cannot change that with the stroke of a pen.
I gotta tell you the guardrails failed. The constitutional checks put in place by our founders failed us. This man is just unfit. My goodness.
I will never forgive Merrick Garland, Mitch McConnell, and all those who did not rid us of him from 2021 forward.
Four years ago, officers of the law stood their ground to protect Members of Congress and staff as violent insurrectionists stormed the Capitol. These brave officers were beaten, crushed, bear sprayed, maced, and left to defend democracy with their bare hands.
The halls they protected were desecrated by hate and chaos. Offices ransacked. The electoral count delayed.
Today, in a grim irony, Donald Trump took the oath of office under the protection of those same officers, standing in those same hallowed halls he incited violence against just four years earlier.
And in one of his first acts, he pardoned the perpetrators and planners of that violence and sedition.
Trump’s action today is a sick betrayal of the rule of law and adds grievous insult to injury to law enforcement officers. These men and women fought to uphold the rule of law, only to see it mocked by a man who swore just a few hours ago, to God and country, to defend it.
It’s a desecration of memory and the idea of a peaceful transfer of power, and a brazen attempt to rewrite history.
But history will not be rewritten. Not by a thousand lies or a thousand pardons.
Instead, we may be witnessing something worse: the newest milestone along the road to autocracy, in which a president pardons those who do violence on his behalf and encourages others to do the more of the same.
Weird that tech billionaires are on the stage with the President elect Trump and our senators and representatives are in the audience. I don’t like that look. Why couldn’t they just sit in the audience? I hope they feel a little embarrassed to be up there, especially those who only recently flipped flipped to Trump
@kaitlancollins Maybe add the context of the unprecedented election of a convicted felon who caused an insurrection and wants to seek vengeance on his political opponents while ignoring the Constitution and relying on blanket presidential immunity to ruin our nation.
@SaintLaurant@kaitlancollins Exactly! The fact that he felt the need to do it at all gives me chills. Terrifying what trump could do to his perceived “enemies.”
@kaitlancollins The threat against his family must've been more serious than maybe we thought. That criminal and his thugs have gone after Biden and his family for many years, and w the lawlessness that's coming in this regime, of course he's going to protect them all.
Trump's losing his mind because President Biden has authorized Ukraine's use of US long-range weapons to strike targets deep inside Russia.
How long before he threatens President Biden with a military tribunal?
@TeaPainUSA Biden should invoke the Insurrection Act for Jan6, arrest ALL known Putin collaborators, and deal with them through UCMJ tribunals, not the criminal courts
They committed sedition against the US through the agency of a foreign power
They should have faced military justice
@allenanalysis You do realize that this idiot has been threatening the world with nukes for the last 22 years, don’t you?.
He’s not gonna do anything… He can’t afford to fight Ukraine let alone NATO countries … relax
@jimstewartson If the Biden admin is truly playing by the book, they would not permit the inauguration of the person who incited the insurrection. Allowing him to take office is a flagrant violation of A14 sec 3.
