Summary
Trump’s defiance of court orders—refusing to release funds or reinstate officials—signals a dangerous drift toward dictatorship.
Courts use civil and criminal contempt to enforce orders, yet their power relies on DOJ-controlled agencies like the Marshals and Bureau of Prisons.
If the DOJ ignores or pardons contempt findings, judicial authority is undermined.
With Congress failing to check executive overreach, Trump’s persistent noncompliance erodes the rule of law.
The situation risks transforming government into a dictatorship unless public outrage and political resistance reverse this trend.
I don’t think trans veterans killing themselves in the VA is gonna do much for morale.
Don’t worry, we’re defunding the VA. They’ll kill themselves in the streets instead
Back to Vietnam! Hopefully don’t also go back to post ww1 where they sent tanks after veterans asking for their war benefits
Yeah, trans veterans aren’t the majority of veterans. While it’s horrific what’s being done to them, it’s not really going to have any impact on the military resisting a dictatorship.
I’m not too hopeful either.
This is how how you get Rambo.
Hopefully.
Not like they are known for caring about the troops ever. They love posing with them, and that’s about it
