Trump breaks another long-standing tradition by allowing executions to proceed during a presidential transition. This hasn't happened for 130 years, but Trump's changing all that.

RIP Brandon Bernard, a reformed man who'd already served 20 years on death row (where he'd been a model prisoner) and had a massive number of people supporting his plea for clemency (including the prosecutor of his case).
Classy. Suits his authocrat style.

Personally I think an unhinged Trump with unchecked power easily would start jailing and eventually executing any opposition. Politicians, journalists, activists. He'd probably emulate those theatrical nazi court cases with that manic judge who screamed at and humiliated the defendants. He's basically just like the nazis before they started to implement all their ideas, I bet we would witness a gradual decline into barbarity.

Hehe, touche.

I mean it though. He's already branding the press the enemy of the people, he wants to lock up his political opponents (Hillary), he's refusing to distance himself from groups like Proud Boys, the very fine people on both sides statement, when the looting starts the shooting starts statement, he wanted to use the army against protesters. Words mean something, despite what people on the far right tend to argue.

It's also important to remember that the nazis went through a radicalization during the 30s. More and more extreme measures and policies came gradually over a long period of time.
 
How hard would your Trump loving governor fight extradition? I can see it turning into a Snowden situation with Florida being the Ecuadorian embassy.

Cyrus Vance will land the plane for Donald. Again.

What's he going to do? Send the sheriffs to stand in the way of the feds?

Squatty would probably fight it. It would increase the media circus & be an undoubtedly glorious spectacle.

He could mobilize the National Guard to do so, couldn’t he? Loyal sheriffs, too.

They fecking sent in storm troopers to get Elian Gonzalez, wouldn’t think they’d bat an eye to spin up some NG to protect Mar-a-Lago.

The president can overrule the governor to take command of the national guard.

Domestically I think this is only possible if the President uses the insurrection act. It is why Trump could not deploy the NG during the social justice protests. In any case, my guess is that Florida (by which I mean its Republican leaders) would throw a hissy fit and Trump would declare he was "more persecuted than the Jewish people in WWII", but ultimately Florida would have to extradite him.

Not sure the feasibility of doing such quickly. Any impact by NG use will be pretty immediate.

If it does become a siege situation, imagine the follow on Y’all Qaeda forces that would be drawn to SE Florida. What a spectacle that would be.

@calodo2003 my friend, I think it is time for you to repay us all back for the years of therapy you triggered. In the event of the above happening we are going to need to immediately kick Florida out of the union and set up a DMZ at the Trumpistan border.

The feds can box them in, cut supplies, water and power, sit and wait. I'll give them a week before they get bored of cosplaying CoD before packing up and going home.

Oh, there’s absolutely no way any armed resistance would work. It would be a public perspective exercise at best, one that would allow their side to get even more batshit.

I’m actually just in Georgia these days, kick away.
