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 presidentking.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.
Funny you should say that; he literally brags that he hasn’t matured past age 6.
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?
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.
Probably more power than any actual king in the modern era.
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.
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.
Yes, but that’s not relevant to the whole abiding by court rulings thing.
He’s not in a position to break the US and International law either, but here we are…
It’s how he normalizes his insane plans without being directly implicit. He starts with the “I’m not saying they should cancel the elections. But if they did… I’m not saying they should do it though. But I mean, it wouldn’t be unheard of.”
Anyone who has ever worked as a restaurant server knows the old “blame they, not yourself” trick. Forgot to bring out some table’s food, and now they’re upset that it’s taking so long? Don’t apologize for it and take the blame, because that will have them potentially tipping you less. Instead, say “Oh, did they not bring that out? Let me go take care of that real quick.” Now you’ve deflected blame off to some faceless entity, and have put yourself on the customer’s side as someone who wants to help. Your tip won’t be affected, because you’ve positioned yourself as helpful.
Notice that when Trump floats ideas like this, it’s almost always “they”, not “we”. “They” is a faceless, nebulous entity. It can be anybody or nobody, so placing blame on “they” is a convenient way to float potentially unpopular ideas without putting any individual (or himself) in the crosshairs. If he used “we”, he would naturally be the figurehead for the idea, and any blowback would land on him.
It’s a message to his followers on what he wants, without directly tying himself to it. And it allows the various talking heads to use it as a springboard to normalize the idea before it is ever implemented. That way when the thing actually happens, his followers have already been primed to accept it.
Whenever he says “They say I’m not supposed to talk about X, I’ll get into big trouble, but maybe we should X”, then you know they’re planning to X.
Insightful comment, thanks. The frustrating part for me is that the media has a tendency to parrot his talking points without directly challenging them in the same breath. That allows his narrative to take hold (especially when it is backed by other members of the government) and steer popular opinion in his favor.

IMO there are a lot of people in the US who need a history lesson. They are gonna get it.
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 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.
He does circumnavigate the law a bunch…
Omg, I think the most eerie thing about this whole thing has been how perfectly all of this was predicted.
If it was a tv show I would say it’s lazy writing.
Almost like it’s exactly according to a document someone published years ago…
Yeah but the fact that they published that, it actually hit critical mass, and they got elected to do it anyway is bonkers.
Or at least it should be
If you’re planning on implementing all that heinous shit, do you think you care about winning an election fair and square?
I still want more info on those bullet ballets
But… His opponent had a funny laugh!
If elections are canceled so is work
it’s a bit late for that.
If elections are cancelled so is the entire civic contract.
No taxation without represenatation applies here I’d say, yankees pitched a fit about it once before
Angry white people pitched a fit about it. Their offspring are the ones in charge now
And laws.
I think those were cancelled a while ago.
Other than the ones protecting capital, of course.
Can’t work and riot at the same time.
American riot = sit home, smoke dope.
And just like that, no one was talking about the pedo-files.
Shitler and the Turd Reich are going to commit as many crimes against the constitution and international law as they can until they are stopped
TEMU Nazis
“I won’t say cancel the election, they should cancel the election because the fake news will say ‘he wants the elections canceled. He’s a dictator.’ They always call me a dictator,”
Complete melted brain babble
But even if it’s successful, they don’t win. I don’t know what it is. There’s something psychological, like you vote against,”
People vote for you on concepts of a plan or don’t vote because they think their life will be the same either way then they actually see what you do they turn out and vote. This isn’t that hard.
“You will have to kill us to make us stop”
Do it let’s pop this shit off already
Grandpa should be put in an old folks home.
Ideally prison tho.
Ideally grave though
Well, sooner or later…
Sooner please
Conservatives in comment sections everywhere: “pssh he’s just kidding, god you libs are so sensitive!”
Pretty sure those cowardly fucks said if they kept their guns they would step in against tyranny.

It’s not tyranny to them if they’re in the Kool Klub.
Is that the Kool Klux Klub?
Not sure what you’re talking about. I’m not a nihilist. I believe in democracy and the rule of law, among many other beliefs and principles.
On the topic of Trump, I happen to think most Americans are not ready to do what must be done. I don’t believe there is nothing that CAN be done. Do you understand the difference?
I have hope that there are individual Americans, or institutions, that will push back. But if it’s successful I doubt it will be because Trump followed the law. There’s no indication he cares about the law.
He doesn’t.
The big problem, even if millions of civilians are suddenly ready to fight and pull out their handguns and rifles… The military have tanks, and rockets, and drones that assassinate from thousands of feet up. There’s no way people could fight that.
He is already packing upper leadership with people loyal to him. You can’t take control of a gov by force without a military backing you.
the US military hasn’t won against an insurgency since that one was squashed in 1950 and before that was 1902. that is considering the us has untouchable industrial military complex, unbroken supply lines, and a monopoly on advanced tech.
an uprising IN THE CONTINENTAL US would be absolutely DEVASTATING. where all our infestructure is protected by a civil agreement not to destroy them… and with a nation as large as ours and armed as ours… arguments that the military just can’t be beat because of weaponry is laughable
Exactly what every sane and reasonable person was saying for decades, but 2A cultists wouldn’t hear it, and preferred to have dead kids so they could look like cool badasses carrying an AR.
Maybe people should start flying drones and join an improv group, IYKWIM
That’s his weak point. He has support in the military, but not enough to actually test it, and especially not enough to give the larger mass of servicepeople a taste for gunning down their own countrymen.
He had intended to be past this point by last spring, but he’s not there yet, and meanwhile what’s left of the courts is slowing his roll.
Without the military willing to take direct domestic action, in the end this coup WILL fail. I’m not saying it’s impossible he could actually do it, but I am saying it seems less and less likely every day.
In the meantime I am just hoping against hope his sorry demented ass doesn’t start WWIII, because that actually is a possibility.
Wag the dog bitch
I’m waiting for that big beautiful obituary
Believe him when orange hitler talks
We need socialism
Workers need to take control of the economy. No longer should capital be held in high regards in reference to OUR economic way of life. Workers must stop believing the circuses and take over the bread making.
Exactly
Desperately.
