He's not testing the waters.

He's normalizing the illegal discourse.

This is always how he starts things.

And if he does that. Expect people to do some nasty business in response to his dictatorship.

Trump doesn't joke

I'll be surprised if it doesn't happen before midterms.

Yeah, the law pertaining to not holding elections during martial law in Ukraine was created during another person's presidency as well. He didn't make that. (It stemmed from Russias invasion into Ukraine in 2014, law made in 2015). Zelensky didn't become president until 2019.

If the war was closer or even inside the US, it might be a different thing. I wouldn't be surprised if he could still consider it though.

Legally, it won't matter. He doesn't hold office until the next guy, his term ends in 2029. If there is no replacement, the office is simply vacant, and we already have processes for that.

Legally, it won't matter. If (when) he's ignoring the laws to that level, it doesn't matter what anyone pretends happened with an election. The laws will have no bearing anyway.

That’ll be before the midterms, in case anyone wasn’t clear about that.

He truly just cannot help himself... Could be our one saving grace. That and the sheer incompetence.

“Serving” LOL as of Trump is serving anyone but himself. He’s made billions in bribes since taking power. He doesn’t serve Americans, he serves himself to whatever he wants. Mostly golf and killing people.

THE FILES

Were they cancelled during WW2

Rapes

Hey guys I hearn fücking kïbs is cööl nöw :DDDDDDDDD

No. Literally warned people and yelled at them that we would be inviting kidnappings (ICE), abortion rights, and gay rights, civil rights… damn there is so much that has already has happened. He can do no wrong to his base and the Supreme Court here and congress has pretty much given him free rein. The cognitive dissonance is astounding.

Same how the 14th Amendment to the Constitution is basically invalidated as long as some states hold off on challenging his EO undoing it.

He'll do some "Elections will happen, but only in states that are nice to me and I expect to win" EO and will basically take CA and IL out of the results, and their results won't be certified by Congress. Because right now it's a race to rig 2026 to save donor campaign money.

He is a dictator. There will be no more elections. America is an autocracy.

yea, you know just like how he "joked" about rounding up brown people, or cut most people's medical aid, or destroy the american soft power.

you know, just funny things he would totally never ever do, because that would mean his voters are retarded.

I thought that's why y'all kept sacrificing children to gun violence, but apparently they were to support, not fight, facism. Or at least to have them hanging there while supposedly American values get trampled.

Does a civil war count?

You motherfuckers are already armed. But he's not black or a child no no one is gonna shoot him anyway

This is a trial balloon

As soon as he stops being president all that Epstein shit is going to fall over him, he knows that so he's going to try to use his power to stay in power.

Then they 25th Amendment him and install JDV as Thiels hand-picked successor. Somehow speedrunning our way into some weird techno-fascist hellacspe faster than we already are.

Or he could've already had one. Allegedly Reagan was declining for years and the people around him successfully hid it until he was out of office.

He lives such an unhealthy lifestyle that it is amazing he has held out this long.

Only the good die young.

I hate to say it bud, but just like everything else he has ever done, it will be swept under the rug. People will stop worrying about it. He’ll pardon anyone involved if it ever even comes close to coming out.

All this bullshit about, “he said he’d release the Epstein files!!”

That isn’t what I remember.

What I remember is them asking about declassifying this and that, “yes, yeah, absolutely”. When asked about the Epstein files, “yes. Well, maybe not so much that one. I don’t want innocent people caught up in that.”

I’m paraphrasing and doing my best to quote, but every article I read fails to mention that. I can’t even find it when I search for it.

It was clear from before the election that he would keep those covered up.

When he said that, people cared for about ten seconds. When he sent his people to overthrow the government, his base cared for about 10 seconds and then blamed “ainteefuh”.

When he pardoned all of those “ainteefuh”, no one batted an eye. Even people who looked me in the eyes and swore that it mattered. “He’s gonna do it on a case by case basis.” They said. “He won’t just pardon them all, it would send a terrible message.”

One week later, “Well, they were political prisoners. It wasn’t as bad as the news made it look.”

FUCK Donald Trump. He can do anything he wants to do. The rest of us need to just bend over. That is reality now.

I’m sorry.

We’ll see how it goes in 2028. I ain’t got high hopes. I wish I could have high hopes. Reality has shown me that my high hopes are silly.

Sorry to be all doom and gloom. You can tell me all day that the sky is neon pink, but I can see with my own eyes that it’s still blue.

I think these people are watching The Handmaid's Tale and not understanding that Gilead is supposed to be bad
