Slam it all you want, it means nothing until someone actually does something.
"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.
Alright boys, slam 'em
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.
Maybe Trump thought execute meant kill the office of the president
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.
Europe watching the USA lately:
If we get through this presidency, and that’s a big if, then we’ve got a fascist infestation and their enablers in congress that we’re going to need to take care of.
Time to truly drain the swamp by fucking force.
Don't disrespect swamps like that, they're a vital ecosystem. This is more like excising the cancer.
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
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.
Could someone please take one for the team and end all this.
Thomas Crooks tried.
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?
Assassination is not going to work. The line of succession is pretty shitty.
Oh, I thought he was naming DJT "Dictator Shit".
No that’s Dictator Tot
I am so fucking sick and tired of hearing " Trumps XXX Slammed" headlines.
I don't want there to be some mildly upset articles about trumps fascist actions
I want there to be hard fucking reactions and consequences for his fascist actions.
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.
Wait, is that Donald "I can declassify documents by thinking it" Trump who is tweeting?
I should really just keyword filter all headlines with the word “slammed” in it.
Oh, that’s what it takes to finally call him a dictator?
his fucking face is so goddamn revolting.
Druggie ass midnight rant. Trump scratched his ass and accidentally had a finger go up his hole and his druggie brain got triggered with some ridiculous nonsense. It's the only real explanation for this shit. It's non-stop and we're less than 100 days in.
