I mean, if the other two branches of government refuse to utilize their powers to check him, then he may as well be telling the truth here.
It isn't true, but we live in a post-truth reality now where saying something often and loudly is what makes it true.
It's obvious to me that there are limits to his power to make people like him.
Except for the failure part. It should read there's no limits to his failure. I'm going to go eat my trump steak now and study for my trump university class. Oh wait, those things failed.
The rest of the article is correct, he hasn't learned his lesson yet. Malignant narcissists never do.
Term limits are a pretty good limit.
His power ends in 2028, and then he's OURS.
Here's hoping that the law stops the guy who has never been stopped by the law
Surely this time he will be held accountable!
It’s bad taste to make a former president accountable for their actions.
Remember Nixon and Ford?
Ford was Nixon’s VP and after it was clear that Nixon would be impeached he resigned and Ford became president and he completely pardoned Nixon.
Ford became VP after Nixon’s original VP Agnew resigned and since he was the speaker of the house Ford got the job.
So Ford was VP and president without being voted in for either role.
The most basic check on the pardon power would be it cannot be used for anyone who is part of or formerly part of the executive branch. These pardons would have to come from Congress.
At this point the Presidential pardon power should be removed, it has been used for so many corrupt acts it is not funny.
These pardons would have to come from Congress.
And maybe make some rule about how the same party cannot count as much. Because Republicans.
TL;DR: Gerald Ford is the only president who was not elected by the voters.
Life expectancy is a pretty good limit. He thought he was going to somehow end wars and spend years and years in retirement. Let's see what happens. Certainly Jimmy Carter was smarter.
Can’t open the Straight without begging and paying up
Powerful as a bitch beggin for bitch snacks
He said before that it was his own morality that limited him. This statement is just further clarifying the previous one.
The limit will basically be if the right wing people turn on him because you guys aren't doing shit fuck all. The best that the left can hope for is for people on the right having a "come to Jesus" moment and wanting to stop him cause they will. Lemmy users can post about it when it happens
What's the meaning of probably unconditional surrender by Tehran ??
My native language isn't English. Kindly be patient with me and explain it to me in an eli5 style. Thank you.
"Unconditional surrender" is when there is an end to hostilities, and one side is so completely defeated that they agree to stop fighting without receiving anything in exchange. Then the winning side gets to make all sorts of demands on the loser and they must agree.
The Treaty of Versailles that ended World War One is an example of this. Germany got punished hard in that document, which is widely believed to have set the stage for World War Two some twenty years later.
In this case, though, the US agreed to also end hostilities in Lebanon (including and especially by Israel) and arrange for a whole lot of reparations to be paid. Those are concessions. The winning side in an unconditional surrender doesn't make concessions.
I’m not sure if Trump’s brain farts really count as ‘world news’…
Apparently hasn’t the power to manage painting a pool blue and killing the algae.
The flaking blue reflection pool paint would like a word.
What is this pool paint ?
What about DOGE ???
DOGE is long gone but it may take years or decades to recover. DOGE was an exercise is how weak and easily manipulated the Donvict is. Musk got pretty much everything he wanted out of DOGE. Mission accomplished. And Trumpepstein? He's still deluded into thinking DOGE made America great.
I have just the same amount of power as him. The only caveat is that not enough people believe in me.
No limits of his power IN THE BEDROOM WITH A CHILD.
At this point, I think most of the government - Republicans and Democrats alike - should be impeached and removed from office for completely failing to do their jobs, and thereby violating their oaths.
The President of the United States is bludgeoningly obviously deranged, and is not fit for office by any stretch of even the most fevered imagination. Any politician who pretends otherwise is grossly negligent, overtly lying, or both.
There's a very interesting line in this article, where he says that probably it's an unconditional surrender by Tehran.
I'm pretty sure it can't really reach beyond his final breath
he thinks that he's in an anime
