But like. Are you stopping him? He's been doing shady and illegal shit for ages, and yall can point out its illegal and shady, but like. Are any of those critics actually stopping him or nah
Like please, I want some good news, and Moral High Ground does not count
SLAMMED
I declare... BANKRUPTCY!
He should be wary. Lest such fuckery become a prescident.
Some days you see this shit and wonder why you participate in a meaningless system that lets convicts be President.
Like as naked apes on a floating rock in eternal space I gotta wake up every morning to go to work and "be a good worker" while this motherfucker breaks laws and wants to make up shit as he goes.
Cool. No wonder I have no more motivation to be a good worker anymore.
Sometimes I hope the asteroid wipes us out in 2032
Bad news, it's not nearly big enough to end life on Earth, and wouldn't even hit in North America.
I'm rooting for the AI ending. Maybe something superior can be born out of humanity so we served some kind of purpose.
i'm rooting for the 'people finally stood up and did away with the sociopaths, ushering in a new utopia' ending.
stop being cowards making bad jokes.
I remember when I was young and optimistic and believed this was possible. The humanity at its best ending. I honestly don't have that kind of faith anymore and doubt I can get it back now.
Give the cephalopods the reigns
Oh, that’s what it takes to finally call him a dictator?
I declare Trump's presidency void. He isn't obeying laws; he's no longer a legitimate president. He is a dictator. And a hypocrite any time he enforces laws of any kind.
To clarify, I think someone who has broken laws CAN enforce them without being a hypocrite, but only if they have taken accountability for the laws they have broken.
This is the oath presidents must make before exercising any official powers or duties:
I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.
He has been very obviously doing the complete opposite of that. The GOP has some pretty flexible mental gymnasts in their circus, but I don't think even they will be able to dodge this one.
My understanding of the supreme court ruling was that he has immunity only for "official acts". So... If he violates this oath, he isn't authorized to exercise any official powers of the presidency, and thus anything he's doing isn't official! Right? I hope so. It'd give me something to look forward to as we suffer through the next 4 years.
Maybe Trump thought execute meant kill the office of the president
they don't care if they're hypocrites and listening to you children say that over and over is tiring. do something.
What are you doing about it?
trying to explain to the painfully naive what we ALL have to do. you should be thanking me and joining the chorus. i'm trying to fucking help you.
So your solution to people sitting on their asses and talking online is to... Sit on your ass and talk down to them online? Sounds like you need to do something, you sound painfully naive
I had this in my office Fantasy Dictator Pool: before end of March, POTUS will attempt to undo Biden's pre-emptive pardons.
But I sincerely hope my other predictions DON'T come true. They're much darker.
I wish I could have a pool like that. Everyone I work with is very pro Trump. Its pretty sad.
Do one with his campaign promises, and revel in the awkwardness as no one ever wins. Plus, it will give everyone personal reasons to fact check him every time someone does claim it.
That's a good idea
quit your job with a bang
Wait, is that Donald "I can declassify documents by thinking it" Trump who is tweeting?
*xcreting
Maybe we'll get lucky and he'll go through with his denuclearization plan and that will finally be the straw that breaks the camel's back and the military will take him out.
How depressing that our best case scenario is a military coup.
He already purged the generals and JAG, so I don't know how likely that is or even if it would improve things.
There is pretty much no scenario on earth that has our military take him out. It just won't happen and we should stop believing in this pipe dream.
why not? serious question, i don't really know a lot about military leadership.

Slam it all you want, it means nothing until someone actually does something.
