The Supreme Court actually DID steal an election.
They stole it from Gore and gave it to another war criminal shitbag W.
In hindsight, it's insane how little the Democrats / Left complained about it... They just went like "Oh, you stole this election? Ok I'll try again in 4 years. Have a good day."
Now compare that with this orange lunatic who's screaming about an election he LOST and tried to steal.
There was a good bit of complaining (for whatever that was worth) and W's approval rating was in the shitter just like trump's. Along came 9/11 which was definitely just an intelligence failure even though it was the best possible thing that could have happened for Bush.
One of the many forgotten things about November 2000 was that the Supreme Court -- before its final ruling awarding the Presidency to Bush -- issued an injunction stopping the recount in Florida on the grounds that it would call into question the legitimacy of Bush's win.
Toys thrown from pram again. Whaaaa Whaaaa Whaaaa. (Please bail me out, it's all I know, so not my fault....)
If there were any justice, Donny, you'd get impeached in November and put up against a wall with your entire family on Christmas Day.
Honestly his being alive might be a net positive at this point. Republicans have now seen how far they can push the base. Once they get a slightly more competent psychopath in place we'll be five shades more fucked than we are already
I honestly hope he lives until October 2028.
July or later so criminal proceedings will harrow him for the end of his life. May he know no peace.
As it is written:
Know violence, no peace.
No violence, know peace.
Yeah but he's probably going to run for another term and I'm not confident he'll be prevented from doing so. I don't wanna be stuck with his VP, but I'd love to see the right scramble to try and replace him in under a month
He is a putrid, lice-ridden tuft of anal pubic hair that’s been transplanted atop a grimy, tattered Egyptian mummy, that’s oft mistaken for a dried-up 6 foot tall, spray-tan colored toilet brush.
Anal pubic hair isn't an oxymoron?
Is that Dickinson?
hey what did a pthirus ever do to you
Flurries of angry social media posts are not unusual for Trump
Anybody who's ever had to deal with someone with fronto-temporal dementia knows the symptoms.
I hate how much he reminds me of my late dad. Except my dad was well read and smart. Ah shit that's not fair. My dad was generally well intentioned. But the narcissistic bullying and emotional volatility and the blaming and the gaslighting tho...
Was your late dad my late dad?
It really is a "type" isn't it? I could talk about it for a very long time. Sorry we had the same dad. Ah shit that's unfair again. He was a great dad in many respects, nowhere near Trump levels, but the behaviors man... Eerie sometimes.
Someone said it would be nice to be able to filter news for things Trump actually did than what he's said.
Unfortunately his words have an impact.
If they overturned the 2020 election would that make his current term illegal?
I think January 6 makes his current term illegal.
His knowing collusion with Russian agents makes his first term illegal.
His 34 felonies makes it illegal.
There is literally no mechanism by which that happens.
Practically speaking, the next President has to go through and undo all of this asshole's changes on paper, by signing new EOs and (in some cases) asking Congress for a law to sign. Most of it is administrative, so easy to undo without Congress.
We can't do anything about anyone he pardoned. They stay pardoned. Can't get around that, Constitutionally.
The fun thing about his pardonees is their general tendency to commit more crimes.
There has to be some point where the congress critters decide this guy is just too unhinged to be in power, right?
No, they don't care. They just try to make as many millions as they can and if the country descends into anarchy they can go live in Europe with their wealth and connections.
The fact that this line appears not to be crossed already is the single most damaging aspect for the US
The line was absolutely crossed a few months into his first term.

Exactly. Can you imagine getting in the Obama tan suit days and having an administration try 1/100th of the crap this one is doing? It's amazing how trump has normalized high treason and rampant corruption.
He's just highlighting what was already true. Rich people can do what they like because they control the government and they have class solidarity.

We can excuse dragging the country into economic turmoil (in fact we encourage it)
We can excuse the violations of the Constitution (in fact we encourage it)
It's always projection with this tiny dick chucklefuck pedo. He's trying to sow some chaos so he can call on them to come in clutch when he pulls fuckery during the midterms and take a "you owe me one" approach.
A child trapped inside an adult's body.
No wonder conservatives identify with him.
Eventually we'll get his second term declared invalid, and roll back all of his EOs, legislation, etc., including pardons. Those people will be expected to return to prison to serve out their sentences, or they'll be declared fugitives, and an additional 10 years added to their sentence, no matter what the original sentence was.
And we'll finally figure out cold fusion and faster than light travel and a unified field theory and everyone will get a pony
One megawatt clean energy for every citizen!
Eventually we'll get his second term declared invalid, and roll back all of his EOs, legislation, etc., including pardons.
Let me fix that for you:
Eventually he'll get his second term declared invalid, and use that as his reason for running for his third term.
