Richard Stone @richardstone.bsky.social · 12/02/2025There’s a way to do things legally. And, the GOP has the votes in Congress to do it. Refusing to abide by court orders is not the way. What’s happening right now will lead to a constitutional crisis — it already has — and could spark a military coup. Lord help us. -30- 120
Richard Stone @richardstone.bsky.social · 12/02/2025I don’t think anyone knows what will come from destroying these institutions. Or from occupying Gaza. Especially occupying Gaza while also angering mid-Eastern countries … while also neutering our foreign intelligence apparatus (a lot of our “foreign aid” is also how we keep tabs on bad actors). 4/ 100
Richard Stone @richardstone.bsky.social · 12/02/2025This is plainly illegal. Many courts have ruled that it’s illegal. This is “move fast and break shit.” Further, I doubt they really understand what they’ve “found.” If you don’t really understand stuff, how do you really know? 3/ 100
Richard Stone @richardstone.bsky.social · 12/02/2025The GOP has captured the government. It can now make policy, and that includes dismantling some of our institutions, if that’s what the GOP under Trump wants to do. This is not that. This is letting a ketamine-fueled proto-Nazi go all Clockwork Orange on our government. 2/ 100
Richard Stone @richardstone.bsky.social · 12/02/2025When I took a polysci class in college, the prof told us that the purpose of a political party is to capture the government so it could make policy. Trump was supposed to make American great again. Are we there yet? Because I’m mostly embarrassed. 1/ 100
