Dare I say Trump is the next Hitler

You cannot fucking tell me that he does shit like this and nobody gives a damn. This has to be illegal

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 61 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Hatch act, it is in fact illegal.

[–] BanMe@lemmy.world 26 points 1 week ago (1 children)

He basically shredded the Hatch act his first term, there were no consequences, of course he's just gonna flat out ignore it this time.

[–] andros_rex@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Forcing those military generals to sit through a campaign speech showed that the Hatch Act is basically dead.

We need to give courts the power to order people with guns to enforce their rulings, lowe courts too

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

We have that. Most judges can empower a Marshall or Marshalls. A federal judge can empower a federal Marshall and a state judge a state Marshall.

it may well be illegal, but when has that stopped the 34 time felon rapist in chief?

[–] lukaro@lemmy.zip 30 points 1 week ago (1 children)

34 times convicted felon, who knows how many more he's committed without being convicted.

[–] aeternum@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

i mean, technically you're not a felon until you're convicted of a felony.

[–] Infrapink@thebrainbin.org 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Trump was convicted of those 34 felonies, he just wasn't punished for them.

[–] aeternum@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I know. I was saying how the parent comment said that he had other felonies, just wasn’t convicted of them. you're not a felon until you're convicted of a felony.

He's too dumb, also near death, but mostly, he's just too dumb. All of them are. Our saving grace is that the evil isn't smart enough to succeed at evil.

[–] cows_are_underrated@feddit.org 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I wouldn't call him dumb. If he was literally stupid he wouldn't have made it this far. He knows exactly what he does and doesn't care. Hes evil as hell, but not dumb.

[–] lichtmetzger@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The man himself is absolutely dense. Just listen to one of his speeches or interviews for five minutes. But the really smart (and dangerous) people are the ones whispering into his ear.

[–] wolfeh@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 week ago

This is my impression. Kinda like Dick Cheney whispering into George W. Bush's ear, just... even more openly evil. And that's saying something.

[–] QueenHawlSera@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 week ago

It is. But nothing will be done about it

[–] smeenz@lemmy.nz 2 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Does anyone have the article or at least what the wording was changed to ? Blocked by paywall for me

[–] smeenz@lemmy.nz 2 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I'm reading lemmy using the Android voyager client, which seems to open the default Samsung browser which is quite limited in what it can do. I don't see any options in the settings to force it to use Firefox, or any other browser unfortunately.

So googling for "remove paywall" is not helpful

[–] Zink@programming.dev 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I have no idea how similar the settings screens are, but in the iOS voyager client there is some kind of option if you go to:

settings

general

other

open links in...

[–] smeenz@lemmy.nz 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Thanks, but unless I'm blind, there's no such option in the android one.

[–] UltraBlack@lemmy.world -1 points 1 week ago

There is most likely a way to open it in a real browser.
