What causes harm for humanity is, people who are clinging on power, money and influence. Dictators, despots, autocrats, wannabes, every f-ing monarch and supposed holy man. You’re all the worst human trash and a disgrace for all of mankind.
you had me at “uncostitutional”
Trump
He should do his third term on death row after a treason conviction
To me it’s incredible that there are still people saying “all this will be over in 2028” and “just vote him out in 3 years”. My brothers and sisters in Christ, looking at everything going on you remain so optimistic as to think there will be another election?
Trump continues to express interest in same illegal thing he has expressed interest in for years because it strokes his ego to think about, news at 11.
… and the dumbest part of that statement is that America has completely normalized it.
He says dumb things, America doesn’t take it seriously, he acts on whatever dumb thing he says, America shrugs their shoulders, he goes on to say even dumber things.
Trump is only half the problem in all this.
Trump’s public statements during his first term were found to be “false or misleading” on average 60% of the time. If you tried to take everything he says seriously, you’d die of exhaustion. Merely taking him at his word is not any kind of solution.
The mind blowing thing is that if, in any other job in America, a majority of things out of someone’s mouth were all about their plans to do highly illegal things that would hurt people, they’d have been hauled off long ago and “It was just a joke, bro!” wouldn’t be a valid defense.
This clown from hell jokes about harming and killing people every day, and follows through with it.
He jokes about breaking fundamental laws every day, and follows through with it.
It’s such a major flaw in our system that there’s seemingly no way to haul him away for repeated failures and egregious criminal harms to the entire country.
Erm, cops fit that description.
But if you interpret all the jokes as “things he wants to do”? Probably pretty good odds
He lies a lot, true. But he always tells the truth when he’s talking about his plans to fuck over this country for his own benefit.
If there is one thing the orange turd likes, it’s following the laws of the US.
I’m less worried about a “Trump Third Term Run” and more concerned with what kind of Eugene Debbs treatment the opposition party is going to get.
He needs to be arrested. Now. Him and every goddamn Republican criminal in government. The uncountable number of intentional civil rights violations alone should get them all life without parole.
He is the state, he is the government, he is the sole arbiter of violence. There is no legal recourse, and there won’t be until the tyrant is gone.
Because he loves to do anything that shits on Americans, he’s made that pretty clear.
“Unconstitutional third term” -that’s it, end of story. Unconstitutional means illegal. Gtfo
He’s going to. There’s absolutely no doubt about it. He’d rather die in office than face sentencing for the crimes he’s guilty of.
His successor wouldn’t do anything.
He’d rather die in office
I can accept that outcome. The sooner the better.
Joking or not, the news perpetuates his rhetoric by publishing it.
It’s the typical narcissistic sociopath trial balloon method, and I agree the news is (intentionally or not) complicit. You test boundaries constantly, break the ones that are not strong enough to resist, and wear down the others by normalizing it.
First others say it, then joking about it, then saying earnestly he’d like it, next is “exploring options.” By 2027, he’ll be normalizing actively campaigning, and by 2028 he’ll be on every GOP- and GOP-controlled purple-state ballot, with expedited Supreme Court shadow docket decisions pending to force it on the rest of the states.
Hopefully he’ll be long dead by then, but his existence is proof of a benevolent creator that seemingly won’t let that happen.
I say only half-jokingly: The best argument I’ve seen for a deity is that the last few years defy any explanation except that such a being exists and feels we deserve to be punished.
If that’s the case, he’s going to survive for quite some time.
I also say half jokingly: You know, it’s said the Anti-Christ was supposed to survive a wound to the head. Does a scary little booboo on the ear count? Lol
J/k, if the end-times-prophecy theory on Revelation is correct, the Anti-Christ would be scary because he’s competent. That rules out this guy immediately.
“Now I’m not saying that I think this is true. But would any of you be surprised to learn that he’s got a genie?”

Why the bastard keeps pushing the envelope almost everyday since January. That I stopped speculating whatever the fuck he’ll do next because his goddamn shit partners are looking for ideas for which to oppress more.
The Economist interviewed Steve Bannon last week
He was very upfront and plain about it: Trump will run for a 3rd term, he will win the election. This needs to be done because America is “under attack”. And if it is prevented, it is subversion of the Will of the People.
Alarm bell ringing turned up to 11
This is fucking stupid. Just try to get an amendment passed allowing this if you’re so sure. If you can convince 2/3 of each chamber and 3/4 of the states, maybe it’s the will of the people.
Good fucking luck with that tho.
If you think their illegal implementation of policy is contingent on ‘the will of the people’, you’re ‘fucking stupid’.
I don’t think that.
That’s what I’m saying.
They won’t do that. They’ll just ram a third term down our throats like everything else.
“election”
Yeah, but I’m pretty sure Steve Bannon has fallen out of favor, and what he says doesn’t have any weight.
In this case, I’m sure he’s right that Trump is going to try for a third term, but not because Steve Bannon is pushing for it.
He’s literally already had the hats made…
JFC Americans take the phrase “burying their heads in the sand” to some astonishly crazy levels.
I stopped engaging with anyone about this because i just grew too tired and that was back in 2020 before the election. Some kid I went to highschool with that I had recently reconnected with, was posting positive shit about Trump and saying he was just joking about a 3rd term, etc etc, when Trump first hinted at this illegal 3rd term idea. I tried explaining, why is he talking about a 3rd term when he hasn’t even secured his 2nd term, he is dead serious about wanting a 3rd term dude, its obvious and he just couldn’t see it or believe it. Its all a joke, locker talk, etc. The usual.
I have totally given up engaging with these people, maybe other people have the energy to slowly and kindly walk them through to the acceptance phase of who Trump truly is, but I don’t.
They drank the Flavor aid.
There’s someone like you in every thread. You aren’t helping anything.
Plot twist: they’re all the same person.
You aren’t helping anything
As opposed to what? Hoping shit just works out for the best if you just click your heels together and wish hard enough?
Grow up. This is the real world. You’re literally watching your country’s constitution be shit on and you can’t even be bothered to care as long as the corporate oligarchs keep you sedated with your shiny toys and your marvel movies.
I guarantee you that anyone who themselves came from a dictatorship or had parents who came from a dictatorship (like my parents) is shaking their fucking heads at how idiotic your pacifist “trust the polls” attitude is, as though Trump hasn’t already got his people running every single part of the election apparatus.
You have no idea who I am or what I do. So don’t just assume whatever garbage you consume defines everyone in America.
The whole concept of America is based on immigration and diversity. That’s what makes it what it is. Many of us have generations of rebellion in our veins from Vietnam and everything that led to the civil rights act. The labor unions paving the way for workers rights, and even the No Kings Protests of today, the largest peaceful protest time and again in our history. That’s democracy in action. That’s how we change things. By deciding as a people, united, by standing up to the powers that be and telling them how it is going to be.
Every big step forward in our history came from social turmoil and political changes. That’s just part of how things evolve.
Still not helpful. They at least post links to protests. You just have a ranting Rush Limbaugh vibe going on.
Ah, what a nice time to remember he died.
“I went outside and picked up rocks to protest Trump!”
“At least I’m doing something, what are YOU doing?”
and what did that do?
gave themselves a pat on the back lol.
BREAKING NEWS: Guy who said he wanted to be a dictator and that you will never have to vote again intends to stay President for life.
Hoping for him to not to be alive before his term ends
Hopefully he croaks before the year ends. 🐸
I think he deserves a bit of help.
He does realize that he will not have the protections of his office during an illegal 3rd term … right?
If he stays in office past his term then everyone that has sworn to uphold the constitution is obligated by oath to remove him by any means as he becomes a domestic threat to the Constitution. This one is a clear and unconditional constitutional dealbreaker.
He’s a threat to the constitution right now.
He’s using the military without congressional approval to blow up South American fishing boats.
He’s deploying federal forces, including military forces, to US cities without a war or suspension of posse comitatus.
Under his orders, ICE has detained thousands of Americans for no reason.
How many threats does he have to pose before the generals say it’s time to stand up and defend the constitution? What mechanism is there that actually allows that?
Yes, but staying in office unelected allows anyone in the US to openly and legally fight him as a direct threat to the Constitution.
How many threats does he have to pose before the generals say it’s time to stand up and defend the constitution?
Depends. What’s the ratio of Smedly Butlers to Michael Flynns currently serving in the US Armed Forces?
It’s not like there’s some kind of shortage of arch-conservative military leadership. The Air Force is straight up Christian Nationalist and the Marines are stuffed full of FOX News dweebs. Half the Navy officer’s corps is angling for a booking on the Joe Rogan Podcast to talk about how they were the ones who killed Bin Laden or dropped the bomb on Qasem Soleimani or whatever.
“These corrupt American politicians are out of control, I can’t wait until we get someone like Muammar Gaddafi or Abdel Fattah el-Sisi or Charles de Gaulle in charge” is a real fucking Be-Careful-What-You-Wish-For take.
I dare you to cross this line! Now this one! How about this line? Another line, you wouldn’t dare do it
1:1 ratio of “oh he was just joking” becoming the truth
Looks like he has successfully outlasted the Epstein questions.
No-one seems to ask him those anymore.
Fewer and fewer top comments across the web reference the matter and just talk about the obvious distraction.
The obvious distraction about the dictator for life building up his gestapo, building camps, silencing speech, and crashing the economy harder than we’ve seen in history?
He could abuse a child on national television, and while there would be outcry and he’d lose a few people, he’d have more than enough support to die in office of old age without ever being removed. That’s how powerful the cult is, and that’s how absolute the his power as president.
its by design the msms is uncomfortable to keep mentioning the epstein files, because most likely thier own ceos ar e on the lists.
