Deep in the ozarks of Donald Trump ‘s Big Beautiful Bill’ sits a provision that otherwise would essentially allow Donald Trump to be crowned King. The provision would limit or outright allow a flagrant violation of the very oath of office Trump is sworn to protect.
The Lowdown
The bill which passed the U.S House last week is now in the hands of the Senate where it is expected to face opposition. Amid that opposition, some people might have missed a very important piece of information.
According to the massive bill, and this is their own text, the bill would grant the Trump Administration to continue on unchecked even in the name of the court system.
“No court of the United States may use appropriated funds to enforce a contempt citation for failure to comply with an injunction or temporary restraining order if no security was given when the injunction or order was issued,” the provision in the bill, which is more than 1,000 pages long, says.
Donald Trump campaigned on ‘downsizing’ the U.S federal government but instead stacked the government with loyalists. Donald Trump campaigned on ‘small government’ rather than ‘big government’ but big government (including this bill) is exactly what the Trump Administration is.
Donald Trump has successfully seized the United States if this bill becomes law. It would neuter basically everyone including the Supreme Court rendering any rulings null and void. America would be stuck with Donald Trump for good rather than his 2nd term if this bill passes. This is how elections get stolen, Democracy dies, and the United States becomes a one-party state the very thing the GOP and the far-right claimed that the Democrats were doing to the United States.
The hypocrisy couldn’t be anymore glaring. It wasn’t okay when the Democrats were supposedly doing this to the United States, however, when it is the GOP and the far-right doing it it is apparently A-ok.
Without judicial checks agaisnt the Trump Administration, Donald Trump would be free to enact much of Project 2025 which seeks to turn the United States into a bizarre version of the Handmaid ‘s Tale.
But Trump isn’t alone in being wrong here. His base voted for this, they voted for the dismantling of the country they supposedly love and cherish. Democrats if they ever want to win another election need to stop arguing amongst themselves and figure out who can sell the message better that Donald Trump is a dangers to the United States and there is no hiding that anymore. And we don’t mean someone like Nancy Pelosi or other. We mean the new blood. Washington is a retirement home for elderly politicians who couldn’t be any further out of sync with the rest of America.
If America is going to survive Donald Trump once more America must abandon the idea of Democracy because it is dead and requires revival if the country is going to survive.
