"Blind respect for authority is the greatest enemy of truth." - Albert Einstein
If you look closely at the photo, you can see MBS slipping another billion dollars into Trump's hand.

It's like boiling a frog. The chain of command gets used to following the squishy legal orders which primes them to be given the even more questionable ones. And don't forget that the ranks in DHS and DoJ have swelled with true Trump loyalists who have no compunction to do what they are told.

Illegal in the eyes of who? Certainly not in that of the Trump administration and unlikely in the officers with whom Trump and Hegseth have been replacing top commanders in position before they took power. Anyone who defies an illegal order will just be swapped out with someone who will follow it.

A. The DoD, including Natl Guard and reserves, number nearly 3 million service members. That alone would be plenty to completely disrupt elections without adding in the 80K under DHS and 135K+ under DoJ who can perform law enforcement actions.
B. They don't care if anyone accepts anything.

I think you underestimate what they can do. It takes just a couple of phone calls to redirect ICE and other parts of DHS, DoJ and the military to sieze voting machines, ballot boxes and local elections officials. Who would stop them? SCOTUS? With what army?

A former colleague who knew Dhillon back in high school said she was a crazy right-wingnut even back then.

I don't understand why an OB/GYN would practice in red states with these insane anti-abortion laws when Canada is fast tracking work visas for American healthcare providers.

The only reason Trump and his minions in Congress would change their tune on this is because Bondi and Patel assured the Mango Moron that they've finally completed the find-and-replace editing to swap all occurrences of Trump's name with that of some random Democrat.

I assume that Trump has no intention of leaving the WH without greasing the skids for Don Jr to succeed him given anyone else as president doesn't guarantee more wealth for the Trump crime family.

That's because Zekensky can't further enrich the Trump crime family like the Saudis can.

I don't think Dwight Eisenhower felt the need to brag about D-Day, nor Chester Nimitz about the Battle of Midway. They were true warriors who did their duty because it was what they signed up for and that was that.

Because he knows the GOP will never allow the vote to pass so the Mango Moron can claim to MAGA that he tried to do what they want.

Though I figure he's had Bondi scrub every reference to him from them by now, so I doubt what comes out is trustworthy anyway.

What if a president decides their “signature policy” is putting minorities in concentration camps? Oh wait …

I believe the term here is "karma".
