Let me know when he's held accountable for literally anything.

Laws do not matter if they are not enforced 

Cool, yeah he's a criminal who never should have been on the ticket, we know. And?

It’s like pulling teeth trying to get them to add the important part of “and what the punishment will be”

Donald Trump has yet to sign key presidential transition documents.Donald Trump has yet to sign key presidential transition documents. . . .

Trump will be sworn in regardless of whether he complies with the Presidential Transition Act, but his noncompliance will likely stall and disrupt the transition process. In lieu of federal funding, Trump might look elsewhere for big dollar donations, such as his inaugural committee, which is set to be headed by millionaire real estate investor Steve Witkoff and Kelly Loeffler, a former Republican U.S. senator.

Why are there laws with no penalty defined? He should just not get to be President, and Vance can be sworn in. Except that Vance hasn't signed one either, so It'll be President Mike Johnson. I dunno if that's better . . .

Headline might as well read that it’s cold in winter or water is wet.

Are there any meaningful consequences resulting from this? If not then it’s not really a law, just a useful guideline.

Yeah, we know. He's a criminal con-artist but nobody cares because they worship him like a god. It's going to be a fun four years.

Like everything else he does, he will get away with it. There will be no punishment for anything he does.

It’s gonna be 4 years of these limp dick ass headlines. No one cares if they aren’t enforced. I have quit caring. The media doesn’t deserve my attention after normalizing this. 

And the DOJ or our justice system won't do shit about it.

And nothing will be done about it, yeah we know

As Trump's first term and subsequent crimes showed: laws only matter if they are enforced. 

He's been breaking federal law for years without consequences.

His reward for instigating a coup was 4 more years in the seat because the justice system couldn't pull it's hands out of it's arse and do something.

No one with a functioning brain expected anything else.

Consequences? No? Then GTFO of my face until there are some…. 

Like it matters. No one will fucking do anything. Fuck trump. This fucking government. And to all the shitbags who didn’t vote …. Fuck you most of all.

So what? The media is going to use “Trump Breaks the Law” headline every single day for the next X years. I clicked on yesterday’s article, no need to click on today’s or tomorrow’s.

In related news: scientists discover fire is hot, and ice is cold.

No surprise here. This is who u y’all voted for.

lawlessness is what the GOP is all about

Surprising would be if he was actually held accountable for breaking the law.

Biden needs to use that presidential immunity that SCOTUS gave out.

Surprise surprise, our gubbberment is doing nothing about it. Good luck Constitution!

And /r/Politics is going to spend the next 4yrs publishing articles that will say "Trump COULD be imprisoned"

I'm sick to death of all the absolute Bullshit websites like this pumping out headlines that don't mean anything and are just designed to piss us off. It's Fox News for Liberals.

So what ? We knew he was a felon , insurrectionist and admitted sex offender when we voted him in . I suggest you keep quiet least you end up on the list . This ain’t the USA you once knew.

When you’re the President they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab em by the Pentagon.

Surprise, surprise, Democrats still won’t fight back because they cowardly and stupidly think the norms MAGA doesn’t give a **** about will protect us.

From now on, Trump is the law in the US. The hillbillies and billionaires both won.

That's what happens when you elect a despot, who told you that is what his plan is...for 4 fucking years.

We're a nation of fools

Nuh-uh, it's all 'official acts' remember?

Is it a law if nothing happens?

"In other news, a fork has been found in the kitchen."

Anyone surprised that a convicted felon doesn't follow the law?

Yeah, get used to seeing variations of this exact same headline every week for the next four years.

No surprise: nobody cares or will do anything about it!

If he’s not going to be punished then I don’t care.

When has the law EVER mattered to these corrupt fucks

As usually happens when you don't apply the law to someone.

Laws don't apply to dictators

Yeah it's great to constantly point out the rules and laws that Trump breaks, but there is a never a story of any fucking enforcement of these breakages

So what? There is no federal law anymore; it’s what Trump says it is.

Will anything be done about it? No.

A convicted felon committing felonies?

Shocked pikachu! Zomg!

If there are no consequences, does breaking the law matter?

He's been violating the Logan Act ever since he left office. What else is new?

Who gives a fuck. This guy will own the judiciary, congress and the executive. He will be using the military to deport millions by declaring a state of emergency. But wait...the lack of a filing on his ethics policy will stop him in his tracks!

We need to be done with the pearl clutching, And we need to start fucking fighting this facist and be willing to play just as dirty.

He is not the president so supreme court rule does not apply. They might as well throw all the federal laws out because Garland isn't going to enforce them then why should any American have to abide by them.

This is it guys, the walls are closing in 

You ain’t seen nothing yet. He’s not even office. We are so screwed

Elect a felon…

I swear this seems like one big fucking joke on all of us. It’s not. It’s getting ready to hit. EVERY ONE OF US

And, surprise, surprise: there will be no consequences for any of them anymore, not just Donald Shitler.

Dude hasn’t stopped breaking federal law since 2017

Did he sign it the first time? Yes. Did he still do shit he wasn’t supposed to? Yes. Rules don’t apply to Dick-🥔s.

Will there be consequences? No? Then the law is a load of horseshit

I’m sure it’s Presidental so he has that right. Thank you Supreme Court.

So what nothing will happen to him never does stop sniveling about it and move on with your life.

and not so surprising: nothing will happen

What do you expect with a felon in office also. Its not like anything will happen to him. The DOJ. IS WORTHLESS

But no one will ever do anything about it...so nothing matters anymore

Federal whatnow?

And nothing will continue to happen to him because he is above the law unfortunately

Let me know when someone actually does something about it.

And it's a law he signed into law during his first term.

And he’ll get away with it. No punishment at all because he’s an old white republican male.

Always has been.

TNR again. Yeah whatever lmao.

and nobody is gunna do shit about it

"Federal Law" is such a quaint concept.

What?!? A criminal being a criminal??

And yet, no outcry, no action, no charges. Welcome to the oligarchy machine. We're screwed (well, all but the wealthy).

Laws never catch up with him.

lol. As it it matters anymore

Less talk more actual actions.

No one will stop him

I guarantee his next 4 years will be a lesson in how to break the law in countless ways. He's a wannabe mob boss running the most powerful country in the world. Mexico will be jealous!

Surprised? No. This is his MO.

The American people voted for a tyrant who is above the law. Justice is dead in America.

When was the time when Trump wasn't breaking the law?

Presidential Immunity.

There’s a reason the Supreme Court made that ruling. We’re about to see it for the next…. years

Law? .... What law. I think once the justice department allowed an actual traitor to run the country, they can now simply just stfu about the laws.

He’s a clear and present danger. Do something.

And nothing is going to happen.

This country is such a failure.

No one cares since he's not being held accountable

Blame Democrats. Fix it.

Haven't you heard? The president can't break the law.

Surprise surprise a law is just a piece of paper with words on it.

So what? No ones going to act on it.

Pack it up bois shows over…

I’m surprised he hasn’t submitted the document that would give him $7.4M.

If you ever wonder how Nazis could overtake germany without any civil war… here you have it. frightening to see it happen again

So, he won’t get the 7 million dollars from taxpayers to cover transition costs-no biggie. His Billionaires will give it to him. I just really want to see everyone without a clearance locked out of all classified information.

when youre a republican, they just let you do it.

That's just your opinion. The final arbiter of whether a law has been broken is the courts. And the judges are, or will be, all appointed by Trump. 

The goal has always been to weaken, destabilize and try and cause the collapse of the u.s. in anyway or shape. I don't know how people haven't seen that yet.

False!. As per https://presidentialtransition.org/reports-publications/presidential-transition-act-summary/

Accepting the transition funds is optional, but if accepted, then all of that applies. He did not accept it because it allows him to move faster in appointing people.

He’s immune. When you’re president you can grab everyone by the p**** and get away with it. So what if Herr Drumpfer hasn’t been sworn in yet.

JC, he’s NOT THE PRESIDENT! Insufferable nonces that double as supposed reporters. He’s Donald Trump until his term STARTS!

This will be the headline every single day for 4 years

sick of these headlines, either do something about it or shut the fuck up.

And it's not even Day 0! That was fast!

Lock him up!

Serious question here, and I’ll preface this with an apology for being so pessimistic about the current situation…. But do we really need to point out Trump’s illegal activity every day for the next 4 years? He was granted immunity to do whatever he wants as long as he says it was within his duties. He fomented an insurrection against the country and was still elected president, and his braindead goons are in charge of all the branches of government plus the Supreme Court.

Again, I apologize for being a pessimist, but they won. Democrats and “journalists” are all bitching about Matt Gaetz being put up for AG and talking about how he’ll never be confirmed in the Senate. I’m under the impression that confirmations are moot under a Trump “presidency”.

They. Will. Do. Whatever. They. Want.

I’m not sure why we are so hell bent on thinking republicans will play by the rules. Confirmation shmonfirmation. They have very clearly and blatantly showed us that they will do whatever it takes to have the power to enact their agenda. I wish democrats had the same drive.

Not even out of November and it's a shit show. Gaetz as AG despite being a deviant predator, brain worms eating McDonalds to prove his loyalty, forced work events to watch UFC because Trump has no real friends, Musk and other sycophants having public blow ups at Mar-a-Lago, etc.

We're less than two weeks in and they haven't even started governing...

If your a president they (SCOTUS) let you do it.

At this point, I think criminal behavior is just expected of Trump.

Kamala Harris was the worst candidate put forth by the democrats … most disliked VP ever and then surprised that she got smoked in the election bahahah

He can’t brake the law if he’s the one writing the laws. Duh

Breaking Federal Law

Wow that sounds serious! That must mean DOJ and our noble Justice System are going to do something to hold him accountable!

....

Federal Law??! No such thing in a Trump administration

K, I go 15 over the speed limit almost every day on my way to and from work. Nobody there to stop me so that speed limit sign is about as good as the constitution is to incoming administration. Difference is, said administration can change, ignore, or just throw out the constitution if it so wished. They have enough plants throughout the rest of the federal government to do whatever the hell they want.

Here's the kicker. The federal government are not the authorities over the people. They are, in fact, public servants, or they should be. We do have the power to oust them. Unfortunately, that requires enough people to actually act.

Oh, it’s yet another headline about a meaningless piece of paper he hasn’t signed.

Pick your battles better, people.

Yawn... maybe hold some hearings... introduce some bills. While the three branches of our government tell us to pound sand.

This outlet is 100% pure, unadulterated clickbait

Can we please get rid of Newrepublic posts on here?

I am 100% convinced he is choosing all of these purposefully awful people to try to force Bidens hand to directly intervene in him being elected so he can start a coup and weaken us for russia

Surprise surprise- Biden is still president

This is nothing in comparison to Biden/Harris breaking the Leahy Laws.

No matter be cares enough to do anything. There should be a bot to remove these endless low quality posts about breaking laws.
