Summary

Trump declared Biden’s pardons “VOID” in a late-night Truth Social post, claiming they were signed by autopen without Biden’s knowledge—despite Trump having used autopen during his first term.

Trump warned pardoned individuals, including January 6th committee members (who weren’t charged with crimes), that they’re “subject to investigation at the highest level.”

Critics characterized his statements as “dictator shit” and questioned their legality, with one commenting this represents “the 17th constitutional crisis of just this weekend alone.”

      “SLAMMED!”, I pronounce into the face of the arresting ICE agent.

      “S-S-S-SLAMMED!”, I cry out as the DHS official drags me down a hallway towards my El Salvadorian prison cell.

      Seee-Lamb-da!”, I exclaim as the door to my cell clangs shut.

      There’s not much holding him back. He’s been defying cour rulings left and right. The Dems are spineless and we’re fucked.

    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.

      There were very few attempts on Hitler’s life and he directly killed millions of people. Trump will indirectly kill millions and I wouldn’t be surprised if there are no more attempts on his life.

        There were very few attempts on Hitler’s life

        If ≥42 is ‘very few’, what do you consider to be a normal number of assassination attempts?

        They are mostly foreigners. Until the next pandemic hits, trumps cuts probably hit the world’s most impoverished, most oppressed people the hardest. It shouldn’t make a difference that they’re not Americans since people are people, but it does.

        I imagine it’s the same as with hitler. It’s not just the inherent racism, but it’s harder to care as much about people the farther they are geographically or culturally or nationality.

        I’m not trying to encourage this but I think it’s realistic

        Vance is incompetent and slimey. Trump is only getting away with this shit because 45%ish of Americans find him sophmorically funny.

        He and Elon are simply too dangerous and if America wants to continue being a country both of them need very public lessons to discourage copycats.

        Vance has an old school polotician side. If left to himself, he wouldn’t go against the courts for example. He is just willing to say what trump wants him to say.

    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.

    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.

      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.

      He already purged the generals and JAG, so I don’t know how likely that is or even if it would improve things.

        He’s saying its because of the auto pen. If he signed with hand then he won’t think it’s invalid.

          Doesn’t matter pardons have specifically and by my estimate intentionally not been brought lined in basically any way. There are traditions by the rest is sorta wishy washy.

    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.

      I wouldn’t mind a system that allowed ex felons to be elected. I very much mind one that allows a current felon to be elected. I don’t know what amount of time we should let pass but a felony shouldn’t be the end of your civil rights.

          Given who’s funding the AI, a perverse instantiation or infrastructure profusion failure mode is far more likely

          Imagine if the butter robot from rick and morty really takes its purpose “to pass butter” to heart, and concludes that, in order to maximize the degree to which it succeeds in passing butter, it must hack and reorient the world economy to make as much butter as possible, and further apportioning resources to improve its ability to pass butter en-masse, then it just goes full “I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream”, but it imprisons a few people and just passes the ever-growing amount of butter between them

        Bad news, it’s not nearly big enough to end life on Earth, and wouldn’t even hit in North America.
