The Resistance to a New Trump Administration Has Already Started
NY Times ^ | 6.16.2024 | Charlie Savage et al

Posted on 06/16/2024 9:52:37 AM PDT by libh8er

Opponents of Donald J. Trump are drafting potential lawsuits in case he is elected in November and carries out mass deportations, as he has vowed. One group has hired a new auditor to withstand any attempt by a second Trump administration to unleash the Internal Revenue Service against them. Democratic-run state governments are even stockpiling abortion medication.

A sprawling network of Democratic officials, progressive activists, watchdog groups and ex-Republicans has been taking extraordinary steps to prepare for a potential second Trump presidency, drawn together by the fear that Mr. Trump’s return to power would pose a grave threat not just to their agenda but to American democracy itself.

“Trump has made clear that he’ll disregard the law and test the limits of our system,” said Joanna Lydgate, the chief executive of States United Democracy Center, a nonpartisan democracy watchdog organization that works with state officials in both parties. “What we’re staring down is extremely dark.”

While the Supreme Court on Thursday rejected an attempt to nullify federal approval of the abortion pill mifepristone, liberals fear a new Trump administration could rescind the approval or use a 19th-century morality law to criminalize sending it across state lines.

On day one, unlike Trump’s first term, this time around, he needs to fire every appointed official in the government. All of them he needs to put people in place that will respect him and be bulldog and cleaning up the government agencies.

"The best way to fight a Trump resistance, is the presidency, senate and house all GOP."

That's a damn'd good (and necessary) start. But getting rid of the permanent administrative state (not to mention the lefitst circuit court judges) is more difficult, and four years might not be enough to make it happen.

But ya gotta start somewhere...

Any federal employee or bureaucrat that performs acts of political interference against any administration has a jail cell waiting for them. This goes back to the Clinton toadies that trashed the Whitehouse and the computers while Hillary was stealing the Fine China, furniture, and silver service.

Every subsequent transition has gotten worse. Its a national embarrassment.

They have it made - they use an unlimited portion of tax payer funds to try to overthrow presidential candidates or sitting presidents they don’t like and there’s no accountability. They have their only ‘hush money’ fund to silence those seeking redress against members of congress for sexual harassment. I don’t recall ever being asked to vote on that.
Taxation without representation.

What law would he be disregarding? Seems to me the illegals are the ones disregarding laws.

ON day one, all the taxpayer monies going to these anti-American NGOs needs to be cut off and clawed back. On day one. And their members put in prison for 3-4 years before getting a trial date for their subversion. Congress can shutdown the circuit courts in a heartbeat, but that requires Americans to elect responsible and honorable, trustworthy adults, not demo-commies and rinos.

Exactly. These demonic leftists will nuke an American city before they allow him to assume office. This is just to cover them when they pull a false flag to malign Trump supporters. Buckle up.

disagreement with a new administration is not illegal, “The Resistance” however, with it’s focus to cripple and obstruct Trump’s last administration through legal warfare, refusal to carry out legal orders and use of foreign influence, that really bordered on treason.
