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 6 days ago (2 children)

Hatch act, it is in fact illegal.

[–] BanMe@lemmy.world 26 points 6 days 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.

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

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

[–] lukaro@lemmy.zip 30 points 6 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] aeternum@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

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

[–] Infrapink@thebrainbin.org 7 points 6 days ago (1 children)

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

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.

The day this pedo king strokes out will become a national holiday

[–] Dorkyd68@lemmy.world 16 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Pedo king is fitting.

Trump the King of the pedophilia, protector of corruption, leader of the racist white army.

I doubt it will change much, the rest of the party is still in tact. They'll just move Vance to to king dipshit and continue as they were.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 5 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Is he really capable of leading the party he's always struck me as the sort of person that would get out of depth in a slightly melted ice cube. Trump gets away with it because he just says it all does something ridiculous and then the story moves on to that. Vance doesn't really command the kind of following they need.

I will be so happy, i don't even know what i will do.

[–] regedit@lemmy.zip 58 points 6 days ago

This is what happens when the people exposed to the highest levels of lead are give access to all the hate they can eat and free-reign to use that lowered cognitive function in positions of power.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 38 points 6 days ago

Why is my soup so cold? Blame the democrats!

[–] Wilco@lemmy.zip 34 points 6 days ago

So fucking dystopian. People need to go to prison for this.

In addition to everyone else here's much more pressing political concerns, this is terrible for computer security. It encourages users to install third-party programs onto government machines.

Mossad should release autoreply_writer.exe

this is terrible for computer security. It encourages users to install third-party programs onto government machines

I'd be more concerned about the programs the government is installing onto the machines

[–] mvirts@lemmy.world 13 points 6 days ago

Hmm it's almost like the feds need a union... ... ... ... 👀

What is that thumbnail? Looks like some independence day shit.

[–] Medic8teMe@lemmy.ca 10 points 6 days ago (1 children)

You're only wishing the aliens would come take over.

Anal probing would be a welcome change of pace.
