Treason motherfuckas … Once more!
“I have been destroying the country and will continue to” yeeeeah we knew before and we still know
A wise man once said, “No one man should have all that power…”
Look, man. We know. You’ve practically already done it.
Some voters somehow looked this idiot and said ‘nope, no point casting my vote…’
Bystander effect on a national scale
“I can destroy the country” ??? Change to “I am destroying your country, I have no allegiance except to the golden calf.”.
When you’re a billionaire they let you do it
If our country can be destroyed by any President, that means that there is no longer sufficient separation of powers, and that our federal government is completely worthless.
He is so ignorant of his job and real duties that he doesn’t even realize this. He believes it, and he believes that he is righteous. That’s because he’s a narcissist who’s never had to go shopping for groceries, who’s never had to make his own dinner, who’s never had to clean his own house, who’s never had to even work for a living.
He is completely detached from reality, and him being President shows how rotten our government has become. He could NEVER be elected in anything resembling a functioning Republic.
There never was a sufficient separation of powers. This and the much-vaunted checks and balances, it turns out, only exist if the person in the White House consents to them existing, and consents to being under the rule of law.
Well, to be quite honest, it also shows how rotten our so-called Western civilization has become. This man not only got elected, but millions upon millions of people thought it would be a great idea to reelect him - after Jan 6th and everything.
And that’s not even an exclusively American problem. Look at Europe. Even with better education and safer social security, way too many people vote for far-right populists.
Before Corona, I still had hopes for us as a species. Despite all the religious nonsense, the racism, the bigotry, the hate, the wars, everything. I thought sensible people were a safe majority. I thought it takes extraordinary circumstances, the proverbial perfect storm, to plunge a society into chaos.
Well, I know better now. I’m 49 and with any luck, I’ll have 30 more years on this planet, maybe I get lucky and there will be no wars on my doorstep. I’m utterly, utterly disappointed in mankind, I would almost go as far as to say I root for its demise. I have no kids, I don’t feel like I have a horse in this race anymore anyway.
And Trump is the epitome of everything wrong with us.
Well the fuck aware
You already are…
Yeah, we already know, because you’ve been doing it. “Do what I want or I’ll kill everybody!” He’s a child, just like the rest of MAGA.
Unfortunately, you can discipline a child.
no authoritarian has ever been removed by an election…
I think I might make this my next protest sign
It will be even funnier if the sign says “no fascist have ever been removed by a protest”
Not sure if people might take it the wrong way, it might be a bit too based.
Protests show the people who are afraid that they’re not alone. Protests show the people in power that there is a real threat. They may be peaceful now, but if things continue they may no longer have peaceful protests.
Absolutely, I’m not saying we shouldn’t protest. But protests do need to be coupled with a real threat (i.e. “we will go on strike” or similar)
Also, pritesring provides training for organizing and brings up voices and leaders that are needed for future actions to be successful.
The leaders we read about during past revolts didn’t just appear on the front lines magically. In the past many revolts took years or decades to transform the territory. With sometimes several generations of leaders playing important parts in the process.
I
candestroyam destroying the country. FIFY“I can destroy the trade. I can destroy the country,” Trump said.
“I’m allowed to impose a foreign destroying embargo, I can embargo, I can do anything I want, but I can’t charge $1.” In a bizarre explanation, Trump said he “was very modest in my ask of other countries”.
“I didn’t want to do anything that would affect the decision of the court,” he said.
“I wanted to be a good boy.”
“I didn’t want to hurt you, but look what you made me do.” He thinks about everything like a violent, abusive rapist. Probably because he’s a violent, abusive rapist.
No probably about it.
This should be a quote used by textbooks for centuries to come.
Either he will destroy democracy or this will be a turning point for more progressive leaders to become elected.
Most likely the former.
Yes, but the real issue is not what was said so much as who said it.
I can actually understand a clever, charming, and charismatic person going evil and saying it after trying to become a dictator.Well, not understand it, but not be shocked by it.
What I can not understand and what is shocking is how a thing like that orange child rapist could ever get a chance to have the power to say it…
A notoriously corrupt, quite obviously a russian stooge, blatantly racist, confirmed rapist, totally inept, stupid reality TV star, 6 times bankrupt, Epstein’s best mate, and unregistered kiddie fiddler.
Anyone of those should stop a person from having any real political power, yet the tantrumping toddler did all of the above -plus much more- and still gets elected, TWICE. . Then says that sort of shit and no fucker owns enough spine to say “Yeah, we need to get rid of him. He’s a fucking loony”.
I just can’t understand it.The answer is that the average conservative really is that fucking stupid.
They don’t think, they follow party lines. Thinking takes away from drinking, and they can’t have that.
For anyone wondering, the three “justices” who sided with trump were Kavanaugh, Thomas, and Alito.
No surprises there. If anything, Roberts, Gorsuch, and Barrett ruling against him is the surprise. It’s a win for constitutional rule of law.
They’re concerned about the precedent set if they allow taxation to be included as part of regulatory powers. If they allowed this, then precedent is set for the next Dem president to come in and just start taxing companies that don’t align with their policy goals. So something like taxing carbon emissions no longer needs Congressional approval.
Are they though? They are do everything in their power to avoid ruling on what an “emergency is”. The only reason they ruled this day is because the law he used pretty obviously is not meant to include tariffs in “regulation”. The Supreme Court says in both the ruling and dissent that there is nothing from stopping him from just using a different law.
True. Also, giving tax powers to a “unitary executive” is literally taxation without representation.
There’s a reason it’s in the purview of congress.
I think Barrett is a fucking slug, but as far as I’ve observed she genuinely wants to side on the side of the country. She’s just a woman surrounded by men appointed by a fucking narcissistic fascist, so sometimes voting is needed for her survival? Maybe?
I agree for the most part with what you’re saying. I disagree with her politics, but she usually doesn’t let her personal ideology, religion, or political affiliations get in the way of doing her job as a supreme court justice where she’s supposed to be impartial in interpreting the law as it’s written. She’s not a sycophant like some of her colleagues
This isn’t the first time she’s sided with the constitution over the maga agenda. Her record isn’t spotless, but it’s not as irredeemably tainted as some of the others.
I think what you said is a much better way of saying what I wanted to. Thanks.
