    What is this fucking headline. He is not in a position to float changes like this.

    Trump plans on circumventing the law and becoming a forever president king.

      He is absolutely in a position to change this. It’s become abundantly clear that we’re way too culturally fractured as a nation and will never unify for any single cause. The DOJ is in his back pocket and there is zero chance all 350 million of us can put our differences aside to stop him, especially since a ton of people want this.

        Well he can’t unilaterally cancel the elections, for example, you know California will hold elections. The question would be whether he gets congress to ignore the results of the midterms.

          Maybe not cancel in an official capacity, but he could still stop them. He didn’t use official channels to try to stop Joe Biden from becoming president in 2021, he just had his followers use the front door instead.

      Prove to me that he’s not already a king. He suffers zero consequences and solely controls every aspect of the federal government. He is what a 6 year old thinks the president is.

        Oh he is effectively a king (the real burger king), I just wish news articles would call him out without resorting to headlines like this.

          They never will. Media companies want to get in on the grift and get their cut. Every lawsuit that went to trial has been a blow to that shitheel of a human, but companies keep bendin nthe fucking knee and settling at best.

        The U.S. Supreme Court somehow handed down a major ruling that stops him from deploying National Guard to American cities… and he’s abiding by it. Is that what a king would do?

          He’s sending cbp and ice instead. The guard was just a stop gap while the pardoned the future ice recruits. Which scotus allowed until ice was staffed up.

          The same Supreme Court that gave him license to do whatever he wants without any legal repercussions as long as he calls it presidential affairs?

          That’s a king. He’s a king.

          As an aside by doing this the Supreme Court effectively retroactively exonerated Nixon. The US is a joke.

            You’re conveniently glossing over the fact that kings don’t adhere to any court rulings.

            You know what this is? You just want to feel justified in your nihilism. If he already has absolute control as a king, then nothing can be done and we all might as well give up, right?

            Wrong. The regime hasn’t fully concentrated power, they aren’t invulnerable, and anyone who pretends otherwise is fucking complicit.

            without any legal repercussions

            He can’t be indicted. That’s not really the same as “without any legal repercussions”. The Supreme Court can stop him, and has on a few occasions. He doesn’t have to be a literal monarch, he’s a fascist pedophile which represents the worst our species has to offer. That’s plenty reason to be rid of him.

      Who’s gonna stop him? Certainly not the citizens, not the government, and not any foreign country.

      The amount of shit a pedophile in the NSA (Nazi States of America) can get away with is unprecedented. And the Ameri-cunts are too lazy to get off their sofas to do anything.

        The amount of shit a pedophile in the NSA (Nazi States of America) can get away with is unprecedented.

        This country was founded on genocide, pedophilia is obviously terrible but this entire shit nation is literally predicated on the violent erasure of an entire people. This isn’t new. It’s depraved, it’s a failure of humanity, it’s worth doing everything we can do to stop it, but it’s not new.

        And if you think Americans are lazy, you have obviously never been to America, or at least not spent any time around working class families. Most Americans are extremely overworked. If they do nothing in their limited downtime (when many people also have to raise children), that’s not being “lazy”, that’s being exploited and exhausted. As well as very, very distracted, a little light on the bread but pretty heavy on the circus. Grow some class consciousness or continue spreading the rhetoric of the enemy.

      He’s not in a position to break the US and International law either, but here we are…
