In another round of late-night social media posts, Donald Trump attacked the Supreme Court for not overturning his loss in the 2020 presidential election — and tried to pressure the court to rule his way in future election cases.
Flurries of angry social media posts are not unusual for Trump, but this one was particularly alarming for its scope and the criticism it directed against the nation’s highest court, where six out of nine justices are conservatives and three are Trump appointees.

Honestly his being alive might be a net positive at this point. Republicans have now seen how far they can push the base. Once they get a slightly more competent psychopath in place we'll be five shades more fucked than we are already

I honestly hope he lives until October 2028.

July or later so criminal proceedings will harrow him for the end of his life. May he know no peace.

Yeah but he's probably going to run for another term and I'm not confident he'll be prevented from doing so. I don't wanna be stuck with his VP, but I'd love to see the right scramble to try and replace him in under a month

Considering the gobsmacking heel-turn Fake Plapper has done, it wouldn't surprise me in the slightest to learn he's related to Trump.

I hate how much he reminds me of my late dad. Except my dad was well read and smart. Ah shit that's not fair. My dad was generally well intentioned. But the narcissistic bullying and emotional volatility and the blaming and the gaslighting tho...

Problem is most of the congress has empowered Trump too much, so if they step out against him, they are going to be equally implicated.
At this point, it is ride or die for them.

Literally no, he could start dragging congress people out and shooting them dead in public and the GOP would cover him for it. Say it's too soon to discuss between rounds. Especially if he leaves the GOP for last, at which point the dead are declared RINOs and ignored.

You'd think but Americans took a poll two years ago and they decided it didn't really matter much to them.
BillCheddar@lemmy.world · 9 pts · 169d
There is literally no mechanism by which that happens.
Practically speaking, the next President has to go through and undo all of this asshole's changes on paper, by signing new EOs and (in some cases) asking Congress for a law to sign. Most of it is administrative, so easy to undo without Congress.
We can't do anything about anyone he pardoned. They stay pardoned. Can't get around that, Constitutionally.
ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 169d
The fun thing about his pardonees is their general tendency to commit more crimes.

The Supreme Court actually DID steal an election.
They stole it from Gore and gave it to another war criminal shitbag W.
In hindsight, it's insane how little the Democrats / Left complained about it... They just went like "Oh, you stole this election? Ok I'll try again in 4 years. Have a good day."
Now compare that with this orange lunatic who's screaming about an election he LOST and tried to steal.
ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world · 10 pts · 169d
There was a good bit of complaining (for whatever that was worth) and W's approval rating was in the shitter just like trump's. Along came 9/11 which was definitely just an intelligence failure even though it was the best possible thing that could have happened for Bush.
One of the many forgotten things about November 2000 was that the Supreme Court -- before its final ruling awarding the Presidency to Bush -- issued an injunction stopping the recount in Florida on the grounds that it would call into question the legitimacy of Bush's win.

Eventually we'll get his second term declared invalid, and roll back all of his EOs, legislation, etc., including pardons. Those people will be expected to return to prison to serve out their sentences, or they'll be declared fugitives, and an additional 10 years added to their sentence, no matter what the original sentence was.

Yep, when the House and Senate flips in the Midterms, the new Congress will no longer be business as usual. They will get with the program, or they will suffer the consequences right along with the rest of the MAGAs. There are already a few who will have to answer for their incompetence, like the MAGA comedy act of Schmuck & Jeffries.
entropiclyclaude@lemmy.wtf · 1 pts · 169d
People keep saying this… but I just don’t see it. Maybe I’m jaded.
The masses will bitch and then kick the can down the road. They’ll feel good because 100 people gave them internet points, and they’ll go back to doing nothing.
Dems will say some stupid shit like “let’s put the past behind us and focus on a brighter future!”
They’ll bury the Epstein victims because they’re also in the files. They’ll raise taxes on the poor and middle class while extending corporate benefits.
As long as Schumer and Jeffries and the other Pelosi wannabes are in office we’re fucked.

If they validated it, I would support that if he was then immediately vacated from office, along with everything he’s done this term including appointments and lifetime confirmations, as this would be his third term.
All of this aside, I think it’s good what has happened because it means that whatever someone says doesn’t change the facts of what happened with evidence.
