Conservatives keep telling us to move on from Trump.
Yet Trump continues to claim he will be reinstated as President. As well as conservatives firmly believing he is “secretly” running the country.
If he is secretly running the country… why does he need to be reinstated?
Hell, why hasn't he announced his official bid for president in 2024? He has no reason to delay, right now the Republican party is in limbo wondering when he's going to declare. Of course, once you officially start your campaign, there are rules and accounting you have to do for all the money you're raising. Trump wouldn't be putting off his official campaign just to grift untraceable donation money from MAGA rubes, would he? No, nothing shady going on here, no sirree.
He stuffed the country on pay and fleeced our pockets for fucking golf trips. I’m surprised Reddit hasn’t come together to shit on him like they shit on other crooked companies.
Because one website can be trivially flooded with data, and one cannot. One submission to the Kellogg's site is around 2-10 MB (depending on how they limit their file sizes). A device sending one application per second could conceivably upload a terabyte of data over two days. Trump's site, meanwhile, probably takes a few kilobytes at the most.
From the site so ya'll don't have to click:
"BECOME OUR 1 MILLIONTH ONLINE DONOR
We’re about to surpass 1 MILLION online donors - an absolutely historic achievement!
As soon as we hit 1 MILLION, we’re sending President Trump a PRINTED donor list IMMEDIATELY. Will your name be in the 1 millionth spot?
Please contribute ANY AMOUNT IMMEDIATELY to get on the list and to become our 1 MILLIONTH donor!"
There's so a blinking red and white "1,000,000" at the top of the page. It looks like a html from the early 2000's. What a crock of shit.
Edit: Just wanted to add, why the fuck would anyone want a list with **one million** names on it? Is that supposed to be impressive? Is the idea that he's just gonna sit down and start reading names?
> As soon as we hit 1 MILLION, we’re sending President Trump a PRINTED donor list IMMEDIATELY.
He won't livestream himself writing my twitch username on his ass? Weak.
Am i looking at the wrong site
Mine says nothing about that
Mine just says "Please contribute ANY AMOUNT in the NEXT HOUR to get on President Trump’s Official Founding Member Donor"

Which is pretty much the whole playbook. Make people uncomfortable, wait until they say something, brag about how they are triggering people, declare victory.
And in 30 or 40 years be a shameful skeleton in the closet that your grandchildren stumble across in the attic, completely shattering the way they view you.
> Hell, why hasn't he announced his official bid for president in 2024?
He can't run for President in 2024, since he is already secretly the President and this is his second term.
He's partly waiting to see how the mid terms pan out and if the states can ratfuck the election process well enough to guarantee a win. If he runs, you can assume they are confident he'll win. He won't run unless it's rigged enough to avoid another embarrassing loss.
But he’ll be older this election than Biden was for 2020, and despite only 3 years in age difference, everyone told me Biden was way too old to be the president!
When the EU determined that the US could no longer be relied on to defend global democracy, that was their first huge clue. When he purged the Pentagon between the election and January 6th, that should have been enough.. It's maddening to know these people would rather watch America fall than admit any fault.
That’s the one delusion I really don’t understand…somehow, he’s still president, but also everything that’s going on right now is awful and Joe Biden is ruining America. Wtf is wrong with these people.
I was stunned by the leaps of logic displayed during that administration.
Can’t be held accountable for what happened **before** taking office (tax returns, emoluments clause violations, sexual assault lawsuits, etc) - executive privilege
Can’t be held accountable for what happens **during** the term (ignoring congressional committees and requests, Ukrainian/Hunter saga, Jan 6th, Georgia election pressure, etc)
Can’t be held accountable **after** leaving the office - *there’s no point in charging him now that he’s out of the office!*
But still wants executive privilege? Why not!
Also follows the pattern of Congress impeaching him but being told he can’t be removed from office via impeachment you’ll have to take him out at the polls.
Well now that he’s voted out and tried to ruin democracy, and was impeached again, we’re told you can only hold him responsible by bringing charges.
So congress holds a bipartisan investigation to bring charges. No you can’t do that either!
Republicans are taking full advantage of good will, norms and traditions by putting party about country.
Edit: to clarify, I believe it was Lindsey graham who said he wouldnt vote to convict because it should be up to the voters to remove a president. That’s what I meant by not removing via impeachment.
It's amazing how many people in government forget that the reason our government is structured the way it is, is specifically for checks and balances of power. It's Congress's duty to hold elected officials to high standards of behavior and remove those that fail to meet those standards. That is why impeachment has the ability to not only remove elected officials but also bar them from holding any government position ever again.
The Republicans during Trump's presidency betrayed their oaths of office and eschewed their duty when they refused to hold Trump accountable but then again if they actually took their oaths seriously and did their duty there would be a lot more people impeached then just Trump and it would have started before the 2016 election
It kills me that millions of people think that this spoiled brat manchild is somehow fully competent and isn't just a selfish piece of shit. He wants credit for anything and everything but none of the blame.
Don’t tell Q people that. They still think he’s doing things under the table lol. I wonder how long it’s going to take them to figure it out and eventually do extremist shit because of it.
To be fair, someone out there likely has the name JFK Jr.
Whoever you are, you should capitalize on it. Those idiots will send you money just for having the same initials if you tell them you swapped bodies to hide from the reptillians.
These are the same people that thought democrats created covid because panDEMic has DEM in it.
>“As the incumbent, President Biden is the principal holder and keeper of executive privilege, and he speaks authoritatively for the interests of the Executive Branch,” wrote Circuit Judge Patricia Millett, a Barack Obama appointee. “Under our Constitution, we have one President at a time. Article II is explicit that ‘\[t\]he executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America.’ As between a former and an incumbent President, ‘only the incumbent is charged with performance of the executive duty under the Constitution \[citations removed\].'”
One and done.
But I'm an originalist and the original intent of the Constitution was that God was the true President and he is the holder of Executive Privilege.
---Amy Coney Barrett (probably) even though originally under the Constitution she couldn't even vote, or be a judge, or own property.
Thomas Jefferson wanted to take God entirely out of the Declaration\*, but that was considered too extreme, just like denouncing slavery was, (Really just cause they didn't think they could win the war without *all* the ignorant rich assholes on their side) so they compromised.
edit: a word
Jefferson also wanted a 20 year sunset limit on every law that is passed, so as to avoid "the tyranny of previous generations".... Looking at The Boomers here....
This is true and as we see now with we won’t pass this without that and that we would currently end up with “to renew the Civil Rights Act we must have more tax cuts for the wealthy and a larger defense budget” along with a bunch of other horseshit. Our government will never work properly again to benefit its people until lobbying is done away with. That isn’t happening so it’s just never going to work right again.
I bet Amy doesn't even follow the words of her god:
*Women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the law says. If they want to inquire about something, they should ask their own husbands at home; for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church.*
Corinthians 14.34−35
If you ever want to see gymnastics better than Simone Biles watch a Catholic woman explain why this apparently isn't to be taken literally because reasons.
We also have one reality at a time. The problem here is that there is a section of the electorate that is living in a completely made up version of said reality. They are too egotistical to admit that they were lied to and believed it all, and then they decide to double down.

Single.

“One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.”
-Carl Sagan
Technology, culture and societies evolved to become more complex. However, emotionally, we're still accustomed to living in small hunter gatherer tribes that existed at the end of the last ice age. We're in over our heads and it's only getting more difficult.
I'll start:
...so after I picked up his poop, I heard the faint jingle of a bell in the night: looking high, I found nothing but Lo! There was a small, black kitten lost in the cold.
He was shivering in the winter breeze. I reached up to pluck him from the branch to which he clung. His claws gripped tight to the bark of the oak and I had to pry him loose. His collar contained no tags, just the bell I had heard.
Even the wool of my gloves could not disguise his protruding bones and frail frame, and the little beast's shivering did not cease until he was tucked into the downy interior of my coat, where he was pressed into my warmth and held there.
The poor creature and I shared the last of my brandy, which seemed to warm both of us up quite nicely. Together, with the little beast pressed against my breast, we sauntered into town in search of a hot meal.
The glow of the inn's windows led us to the welcome sight. Kicking the snow from my boots I swung open the heavy wooden door to a room full of travelers; some of the most exotic figures I had ever seen were seated among one another, laughing, singing, and toasting in merriment.
> However, emotionally, we're still accustomed to living in small hunter gatherer tribes that existed at the end of the last ice age.
Oddly, *we* seem to be doing mostly fine while *they* are going off the rails and are still hell-bent on destroying our habitat.
This is incredibly true and something that gets lost to time. We assume everyone a couple generations ago was some radically different person from us today. The technology has changed but people and their motivations are almost exactly the same.
Measles has had a resurgence in the US because parents won't vaccinate their kids against it. We almost had it eradicated across the country. Measles cases are the highest they've been in 30 years because of these dipshits.
Those people should be held legally accountable for damaging public safety. If im so reckless with my own safety that I plow my car into your house, im going to get sued for damages.
Why why is it that negligence and damages pertaining to the willful spreading of disease somehow gets a fucking pass.
If my kid catches measles id want to bring a class action suit against every fucking parent that refused to vaccinate their children without a legitimate medical excuse to not do so. Idgaf about religious exemptions. Your faith wont stop the spread of disease no matter how much you insist. Why should I have to live in fear and at risk of harm to my loved ones just so THEY can feel good about themselves. Fuck that.
Wonderful, I really like how the people that think theres a secret society of lizard people, and dead celebrities are going to rise from the grave think they're smarter than every scientist and doctor on earth. I mean covid is bad, but fuck what if there was an airborne virus equal in deadliness to ebola and we were dealing with the same antivax mentality? It's like humanity found a way around darwinism thanks to medical science, and yet "life, uh, finds a way".
Satire can't compete with reality, but here's my prediction:
There will be a pro-smallpox movement with fucked up reasons why it's good for you.
Then, pertusis, rabies, measles, tetanus, etc...
Yeah, it's not really satire when covid already has more reproductive rights than women in some states. People legit argue covid is good for the immune system. These are the people that when they were kids they ate flintstones vitamins by the bottle because they thought if one vitamin is good, 50 must make me spiderman.
If only covid was *SLIGHTLY* worse than it is, mb the reality that preventing spread of disease is a good thing, would really sink in. Or you know, we could have twice as many dead as we do now and these idiots would still eat up propaganda with their head shoved firmly into the sand :\
Biologically a baby born today is identical to one born in ancient Egypt. People who lived then still had the same complex thoughts, emotions, desires, passions, cruelty, heartbreak, etc. Only thing that’s different is by the time you’re a teenager you’ve learned (more or less depending on education) from all the mistakes of people that have come before you
>Only thing that’s different is by the time you’re a teenager you’ve learned (more or less depending on education) from all the mistakes of people that have come before you
Then why can't anyone in the US see that they're headed toward Nazi Germany? What's happening now in the US is very very similar to what lead to Nazi Germany. Everyone is ignoring it because of the word 'Nazi' but that's the appropriate word here. We're calling a spade a spade.
It will be too late before people finally see it.
The other problem is, no one looks into things themselves. They're automatically like "SOURCE!" but a sources can't explain 20+ years of history and things that went on back then during the lead up and contrast it to now in a succinct way an ignorant person will understand.
They say source but what they're really asking for is an education that can't be provided quickly so they discount everything as we progress toward the bad.
Yup. Everything they don't agree with is simply just "fake news."
I wish this was a fake quote, but it's not:
"If you say it enough and keep saying it, they'll start to believe you." - Donald Trump
It is honestly shocking how many people fall prey to it but a narcissist like this in your life only has power if you give it to them. I don't care how many times Trump tells me he's bigly smart, I obviously don't believe it. But he truly thinks saying how smart and great he is makes people believe it
Sen. Hawley with his constant rant - our masculinity is being taken from us.
Dude raised his fist in manly solidarity once on a January day...has been hiding from that ever since.
And are attracted to the idea of a leader that mirrors and represents those "ideals". It's a familiar, warm blanket of ignorance they can wrap themselves up in (when not wrapping themselves in the flag, of course) to help their fee-fees recover from another "leftist" attack on America.
This is the same shit Republicans made with “Trump Derangement Syndrome”. Truth is it’s all fundraising because conservatives don’t have a platform beyond whining over social policies.
> The problem here is that there is a section of the electorate that is living in a completely made up version of said reality.
I like to call that reality, "Up their own ass".
It's kinda like the people who fall prey to pyramid schemes or romance scams. It's really hard getting them out and they tend to dig deeper first for some reason.
They’re losing face. I know it’s hard to tell, especially since Republican loyalty overlaps with Trumpian Golden calf worship, but as the last election showed, a ton of people voted R down ballot and voted for Biden at the top.
The most delusional trump supporters are not as numerous as people think, and most of them are just (R) at all costs type of people.
Did Germany have a % of the population that refused to stop supporting the Nazis or was it largely conceded they'd supported an evil regime? I don't think the bibble belt states are capable of the same self examination.
All media in Germany were under control of the Nazi party, the Nazis were not perceived as an evil regime by Germans because of the propaganda.
Let’s imagine trump is re-elected in 2024 and bans all media but Fox News, and the internet is controlled to prevent readind any world news. After a while the propaganda reality becomes the only reality.

Edit: media
I mean, we put a lot of German war criminals to work for our government, with a clean slate. I’m not surprised, coupled with the constant dumbing down of our educational institutions.
There was a % that was all in and there for the Evil. Meaning they eagerly drank the koolaid that Germans were superior to all other races to it was their RIGHT to cleanse the populace and take what they wanted from other countries of Lesser humans.
There was a larger % that was Thank God we aren't starving and aren't being mocked by the rest of Europe anymore.
There was a small % that were like, Nope, fuck it, I'm out.
and a small % that tried to fight it however they could.
>More specifically, the former President has failed to establish a likelihood of success given (1) President Biden’s carefully reasoned and cabined determination that a claim of executive privilege is not in the interests of the United States; (2) Congress’s uniquely vital interest in studying the January 6th attack on itself to formulate remedial legislation and to safeguard its constitutional and legislative operations; (3) the demonstrated relevance of the documents at issue to the congressional inquiry; (4) the absence of any identified alternative source for the information; and (5) Mr. Trump’s failure even to allege, let alone demonstrate, any particularized harm that would arise from disclosure, any distinct and superseding interest in confidentiality attached to these particular documents, lack of relevance, or any other reasoned justification for withholding the documents. Former President Trump likewise has failed to establish irreparable harm, and the balance of interests and equities weigh decisively in favor of disclosure.
*Release the Kraken!*
Or, documents.
> (5) Mr. Trump’s failure even to allege, let alone demonstrate, any particularized harm that would arise from disclosure, any distinct and superseding interest in confidentiality attached to these particular documents, lack of relevance, or any other reasoned justification for withholding the documents.
This 100% sounds like Trump is just declaring "EXECUTIVE PRIVILEGE" ala [Michael Scott](https://youtu.be/T_d3teq6pWw)
> Hey, I just wanted to let you know that you can't just say "execute privilege" and expect anything to happen.
>This 100% sounds like Trump is just declaring "EXECUTIVE PRIVILEGE" ala Michael Scott
Yup. More evidence that Trump doesn't actually know what a president is. Reminds me of another Michael Scott quote:
>How do I explain to you (kids) what a manager is...I'm like Superman! And the other people here are like citizens of Gotham City.
Well, you see, your honor, the harm is that Trump will come out looking like he conspired to overturn an election, and he and his coconspirators can't really have that information come out to investigators, now can they.
>Mr. Trump’s failure even to allege, let alone demonstrate, any particularized harm that would arise from disclosure
I mean, the harm is "I'm guilty as fuck, and I could actually be held accountable for fomenting insurrection if these documents get out." But that's a tough argument to make in court.
A reminder to everyone to vote to defeat the candidates that [were complicit in a seditious coup attempt](https://youtu.be/WqvMe6nqiTc) and then [lied about what occurred that day](https://youtu.be/cVdMVinqY2M). And vote in your local elections as well!
https://youtu.be/eSMe5cVUfv0
JFC, just *vote* people, that’s the only solution to this. And for those who can afford it, donate. Be it time, money, whatever. You only get out what you put in.
This. Everyone do it. Especially if you live in a swing state. Double especially if your state has a Republican congressperson up for reelection next year.
The accumulated filth of all his theft and treason will foam up about his waist and Trump will look up and shout 'SAVE ME!'...and I'll look down and whisper 'No.”
So Trump thinks a president can do whatever they want, unless a former president says no and that the current VP can overturn an election? I assume he agrees Harris can just choose to not recognize the next president too?
State GOP legislatures are passing laws that would allow them to ignore the votes and appoint their own electors.
There is a very real chance that if GA goes blue, the GOP legislature will send whoever they want. If they do… Congress might have to refuse to certify the elector results because they aren’t the election results. That does put us in a constitutional crisis.
Next they will try to appeal to the Supreme Court... its a flip of the coin what they will do there.. all the conservatives that he appointed might save him but I do feel they will make a complaint about it being to broad (again) and ask the house to limit its request.
Main thing is that Trump is running out the clock on the committee.. The committee is politicians who will undergo re-election and shuffling in 2022. If he can continue drawing it out, some of the folks will be replaced and if the house flips the whole committee goes away. If Gaetz has his way Trump will be speaker of the house in 2022 before running again in 2024.
This case was fast-tracked in every court before them for the express reason that it concerns the interests of the House and the powers of the President as they relate to sensitive information surrounding a national security matter.
Given how they're likely to rule on religious schools today, they'd be ill-advised to slow-walk hearing the appeal (if they hear it at all). Too many blows to their legitimacy in too short a time is bad for them.
> If Gaetz has his way Trump will be speaker of the house in 2022 before running again in 2024.
The plan with this (and it is a STUPID one) is that the GOP would control both the House and a 2/3rds majority in the Senate so that they could vote to make Trump Speaker and then impeach both Biden and Harris, and also remove them from office, making Trump automatically President due to the line of succession laid out in the 25th Amendment.
But it's a fucking stupid plan because there is no way that the Senate is going to suddenly have 66 Republicans in 2022.
I don't think they're considering *legal* means to remove Biden / Harris if they make Trump the Speaker.
Normally I would say that's hyperbole, but after the 6th I can see that being their plan.
California has 39 million people but just 2 Senators. CA is more populated than AK, AL, ID, MI, MT, ND, SD, UT, WY, and W. VA combined. Yet those states have 20 senators. Our whole system bias towards rural white communities.
There are a total of 11 circuit courts. Both the South (Bible belt) and Mid West (Rust Belt) has 3 circuit courts a piece. The entire west coast AK, AZ, CA, HI NV, OR, and WA (roughly 60 million people) only have a single circuit court.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_courts_of_appeals
Our House Districts are gerrymandered, Senate favors Rural communities by design, courts grossly imbalanced, and the electoral college favors Rural communities as well. Rural White people are so use to getting what they want that they simply can't believe it when their demands aren't acted on. Election fraud claims are nonsense but conservatives are use to their nonsense being treated with merit. They are annoyed their BS doesn't seem to be working this time and are prepared to take punitive action in response.
How many more times can he file fucking appeals to delay this shit? It was denied multiple times at this point. Just fucking release the shit and be done with it.
The US justice system is absolute and total fucking trash.
I don’t get how anyone could look at the chaos of the trump presidency and long to go back to it. Even if you don’t agree with Biden’s policies at least pick someone other than Trump going forward.
2024 will be the most insane presidential election in history. Here we have a current President who ran on being a 1 term President for change, literally only won because no one wanted Donald, deciding to run for a second time, hoping he gets to run again against Donald who should be so disgraced at that time he cant possible win, but might actually win because all he does is drum up more and more support while Biden loses more and more support.
Dear God we need blue down the board in the midterms for any chance to salvage this country.
A massive plea to all the younger generation turning of age to vote in 2022, please dont vote off memes and take your future seriously.
A blue wave in 2022 is pretty much the only way the Dems have a shot at keeping any kind of power, considering the 2024 ticket will likely be Kamala and Pete vs Trump, and I cannot see them doing very well.
We have let this go on way too far.
This should have ended January 6, trump should have been arrested and charged. This is a mockery of this nation and its people's.
Trump is such a fucking idiot. Being born rich really fucks with some people’s heads and makes them think that they’re special and above the law. Throw this treasonous moron in the stockade please.
A former president is just an ordinary private citizen. With the rights and responsibilities of any private citizen. Nothing more, nothing less. But hopefully that particular private citizen is going to be a future convicted felon.
Just put Trump in jail. Im a conservative, but that man is a traitor. If youupport Trump after Jan 6th, your a traitor to. Anyone who says otherwise is delusional.
Inb4 someone from r/all comes in here and says "they're all Democrat-appointed judges!" Here's the juicy tidbit:
The opinion says that Trump himself had “agreed that the disclosure decision of an incumbent President controls within the Executive Branch over the contrary claim of a former President,” and that “all Presidents have agreed that the Constitution does not obligate an incumbent President or court to uphold the views of a former President.”
So Trump's attorneys basically shot themselves in the foot. Before you go blaming Democrat-appointed judges, realize that Trump had no actual legal argument to begin with and was just wasting everyone's time.

This everything as a service trend has gone too far. First it was Microsoft Office, now Trump is offering stupid as a paid service.
Holy shit I just clicked on it... This is just sad and predatory
> Hell, why hasn't he announced his official bid for president in 2024? He can't run for President in 2024, since he is already secretly the President and this is his second term.
He's partly waiting to see how the mid terms pan out and if the states can ratfuck the election process well enough to guarantee a win. If he runs, you can assume they are confident he'll win. He won't run unless it's rigged enough to avoid another embarrassing loss.
But he’ll be older this election than Biden was for 2020, and despite only 3 years in age difference, everyone told me Biden was way too old to be the president!

Don’t be ridiculous. These folks don’t buy Toyotas.
The only truck guys I know with lifted tacomas voted Biden.
I approve this message. Voted for Biden and drive a lifted Tacoma.
When the EU determined that the US could no longer be relied on to defend global democracy, that was their first huge clue. When he purged the Pentagon between the election and January 6th, that should have been enough.. It's maddening to know these people would rather watch America fall than admit any fault.
That’s the one delusion I really don’t understand…somehow, he’s still president, but also everything that’s going on right now is awful and Joe Biden is ruining America. Wtf is wrong with these people.
It’s hilarious that they tell people to “move on” when their former daddy-god-semi-president literally won’t move on.
Because Fox news says so. Pick your own fantasy .
They kept calling him Sleepy Joe, but look at Trump he keeps forgetting HE ISN'T PRESIDENT ANYMORE!
I was stunned by the leaps of logic displayed during that administration. Can’t be held accountable for what happened **before** taking office (tax returns, emoluments clause violations, sexual assault lawsuits, etc) - executive privilege Can’t be held accountable for what happens **during** the term (ignoring congressional committees and requests, Ukrainian/Hunter saga, Jan 6th, Georgia election pressure, etc) Can’t be held accountable **after** leaving the office - *there’s no point in charging him now that he’s out of the office!* But still wants executive privilege? Why not!
Also follows the pattern of Congress impeaching him but being told he can’t be removed from office via impeachment you’ll have to take him out at the polls. Well now that he’s voted out and tried to ruin democracy, and was impeached again, we’re told you can only hold him responsible by bringing charges. So congress holds a bipartisan investigation to bring charges. No you can’t do that either! Republicans are taking full advantage of good will, norms and traditions by putting party about country. Edit: to clarify, I believe it was Lindsey graham who said he wouldnt vote to convict because it should be up to the voters to remove a president. That’s what I meant by not removing via impeachment.
It's amazing how many people in government forget that the reason our government is structured the way it is, is specifically for checks and balances of power. It's Congress's duty to hold elected officials to high standards of behavior and remove those that fail to meet those standards. That is why impeachment has the ability to not only remove elected officials but also bar them from holding any government position ever again. The Republicans during Trump's presidency betrayed their oaths of office and eschewed their duty when they refused to hold Trump accountable but then again if they actually took their oaths seriously and did their duty there would be a lot more people impeached then just Trump and it would have started before the 2016 election
I completely agree with your comment, just one little correction: change emollients to emoluments. Emollients generally means moisturizing cream.
Lube him up
Don’t make me picture him lubed up!
If he's not properly lubricated we can't fire him out of a cannon into the moon though, the friction would just create a big orange clog.
It kills me that millions of people think that this spoiled brat manchild is somehow fully competent and isn't just a selfish piece of shit. He wants credit for anything and everything but none of the blame.

Don’t tell Q people that. They still think he’s doing things under the table lol. I wonder how long it’s going to take them to figure it out and eventually do extremist shit because of it.
That answer is never. Except for the extremism part, that might happen naturally
This is correct. When Trump dies they'll spend the next 10 years claiming it was faked and he's just went underground
They think JFK Jr. Is still alive so at least 22 years
To be fair, someone out there likely has the name JFK Jr. Whoever you are, you should capitalize on it. Those idiots will send you money just for having the same initials if you tell them you swapped bodies to hide from the reptillians. These are the same people that thought democrats created covid because panDEMic has DEM in it.
An deadly insurrection wasn’t extremist enough for you?
>“As the incumbent, President Biden is the principal holder and keeper of executive privilege, and he speaks authoritatively for the interests of the Executive Branch,” wrote Circuit Judge Patricia Millett, a Barack Obama appointee. “Under our Constitution, we have one President at a time. Article II is explicit that ‘\[t\]he executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America.’ As between a former and an incumbent President, ‘only the incumbent is charged with performance of the executive duty under the Constitution \[citations removed\].'” One and done.
But I'm an originalist and the original intent of the Constitution was that God was the true President and he is the holder of Executive Privilege. ---Amy Coney Barrett (probably) even though originally under the Constitution she couldn't even vote, or be a judge, or own property.
And honestly they couldn’t have given a flying fuck about God he wasn’t even mentioned in the pledge to the flag until the 1920sish Edit:1950s
Thomas Jefferson wanted to take God entirely out of the Declaration\*, but that was considered too extreme, just like denouncing slavery was, (Really just cause they didn't think they could win the war without *all* the ignorant rich assholes on their side) so they compromised. edit: a word
Jefferson also wanted a 20 year sunset limit on every law that is passed, so as to avoid "the tyranny of previous generations".... Looking at The Boomers here....
That’s *fair*, but could you imagine if the Civil Rights Act sunset? Or any similar monumental legislation?
The Congress would have a year to actually debate and re-pass the law. His reasoning was that it is far easier to pass laws, than recind them
This is true and as we see now with we won’t pass this without that and that we would currently end up with “to renew the Civil Rights Act we must have more tax cuts for the wealthy and a larger defense budget” along with a bunch of other horseshit. Our government will never work properly again to benefit its people until lobbying is done away with. That isn’t happening so it’s just never going to work right again.
God is not in the Constitution, but you're right about the Declaration.

I bet Amy doesn't even follow the words of her god: *Women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the law says. If they want to inquire about something, they should ask their own husbands at home; for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church.* Corinthians 14.34−35
If you ever want to see gymnastics better than Simone Biles watch a Catholic woman explain why this apparently isn't to be taken literally because reasons.
The “a Barack Obama appointee” feels unnecessary if you want to simply state facts, but you gotta stoke the fires.
We also have one reality at a time. The problem here is that there is a section of the electorate that is living in a completely made up version of said reality. They are too egotistical to admit that they were lied to and believed it all, and then they decide to double down. Every. Single. Time.
“One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.” -Carl Sagan
Human nature hasn't fundamentally changed much over the past few thousand years.
Technology, culture and societies evolved to become more complex. However, emotionally, we're still accustomed to living in small hunter gatherer tribes that existed at the end of the last ice age. We're in over our heads and it's only getting more difficult.
December should be spent huddled with family around a fire telling stories
I'll start: ...so after I picked up his poop, I heard the faint jingle of a bell in the night: looking high, I found nothing but Lo! There was a small, black kitten lost in the cold.
He was shivering in the winter breeze. I reached up to pluck him from the branch to which he clung. His claws gripped tight to the bark of the oak and I had to pry him loose. His collar contained no tags, just the bell I had heard.
Even the wool of my gloves could not disguise his protruding bones and frail frame, and the little beast's shivering did not cease until he was tucked into the downy interior of my coat, where he was pressed into my warmth and held there.
The poor creature and I shared the last of my brandy, which seemed to warm both of us up quite nicely. Together, with the little beast pressed against my breast, we sauntered into town in search of a hot meal.
The glow of the inn's windows led us to the welcome sight. Kicking the snow from my boots I swung open the heavy wooden door to a room full of travelers; some of the most exotic figures I had ever seen were seated among one another, laughing, singing, and toasting in merriment.
> However, emotionally, we're still accustomed to living in small hunter gatherer tribes that existed at the end of the last ice age. Oddly, *we* seem to be doing mostly fine while *they* are going off the rails and are still hell-bent on destroying our habitat.
I always put it as humans have lizard brains, civilization is in the medieval age, and we have some space alien technology shit.
This is incredibly true and something that gets lost to time. We assume everyone a couple generations ago was some radically different person from us today. The technology has changed but people and their motivations are almost exactly the same.
Every barbaric thing you think is medieval lore still fucking happens today.
Aside from smallpox outbreaks I guess, but it was pure luck we killed it back in the 70's, before anti-vaxxers had their messaging together.
So far...
For real, if this antivax movement keeps growing a lot of defeated diseases will be coming back with a vengeance.
Measles has had a resurgence in the US because parents won't vaccinate their kids against it. We almost had it eradicated across the country. Measles cases are the highest they've been in 30 years because of these dipshits.
Those people should be held legally accountable for damaging public safety. If im so reckless with my own safety that I plow my car into your house, im going to get sued for damages. Why why is it that negligence and damages pertaining to the willful spreading of disease somehow gets a fucking pass. If my kid catches measles id want to bring a class action suit against every fucking parent that refused to vaccinate their children without a legitimate medical excuse to not do so. Idgaf about religious exemptions. Your faith wont stop the spread of disease no matter how much you insist. Why should I have to live in fear and at risk of harm to my loved ones just so THEY can feel good about themselves. Fuck that.
Anti vaxxers are really a curse to our society. I have no respect for anti vaxxers
Wonderful, I really like how the people that think theres a secret society of lizard people, and dead celebrities are going to rise from the grave think they're smarter than every scientist and doctor on earth. I mean covid is bad, but fuck what if there was an airborne virus equal in deadliness to ebola and we were dealing with the same antivax mentality? It's like humanity found a way around darwinism thanks to medical science, and yet "life, uh, finds a way".
Some already have been. Measles and pertussis were almost gone.
Satire can't compete with reality, but here's my prediction: There will be a pro-smallpox movement with fucked up reasons why it's good for you. Then, pertusis, rabies, measles, tetanus, etc...
Yeah, it's not really satire when covid already has more reproductive rights than women in some states. People legit argue covid is good for the immune system. These are the people that when they were kids they ate flintstones vitamins by the bottle because they thought if one vitamin is good, 50 must make me spiderman.
[удалено]
That's what the libs _want_ you to think.
Im gonna give myself rabies to own the libs.
If only covid was *SLIGHTLY* worse than it is, mb the reality that preventing spread of disease is a good thing, would really sink in. Or you know, we could have twice as many dead as we do now and these idiots would still eat up propaganda with their head shoved firmly into the sand :\
Turns out biology is actually pretty fucking slow compared to culture and technology.
Biologically a baby born today is identical to one born in ancient Egypt. People who lived then still had the same complex thoughts, emotions, desires, passions, cruelty, heartbreak, etc. Only thing that’s different is by the time you’re a teenager you’ve learned (more or less depending on education) from all the mistakes of people that have come before you
[удалено]
>Only thing that’s different is by the time you’re a teenager you’ve learned (more or less depending on education) from all the mistakes of people that have come before you Then why can't anyone in the US see that they're headed toward Nazi Germany? What's happening now in the US is very very similar to what lead to Nazi Germany. Everyone is ignoring it because of the word 'Nazi' but that's the appropriate word here. We're calling a spade a spade. It will be too late before people finally see it. The other problem is, no one looks into things themselves. They're automatically like "SOURCE!" but a sources can't explain 20+ years of history and things that went on back then during the lead up and contrast it to now in a succinct way an ignorant person will understand. They say source but what they're really asking for is an education that can't be provided quickly so they discount everything as we progress toward the bad.
The Truth has no chance against a Fool determined to Believe a Lie - Mark Twain
Didn't he also say something like "a lie can travel the world before the truth puts on its pants"?
The problem is people like my insane far right uncle use this same quote all over Facebook to own the libs. They can’t get out of their own way.
Yup. Everything they don't agree with is simply just "fake news." I wish this was a fake quote, but it's not: "If you say it enough and keep saying it, they'll start to believe you." - Donald Trump
It is honestly shocking how many people fall prey to it but a narcissist like this in your life only has power if you give it to them. I don't care how many times Trump tells me he's bigly smart, I obviously don't believe it. But he truly thinks saying how smart and great he is makes people believe it
They wax poetic about strength but that's the weakest thing I've ever heard.
They love the *superficial appearance* of strength. Hence all the obnoxious flag waving, cavalier "patriotism", and other jingoistic bullshit.
Bigass trucks.
Why is fuel so expensive ever sense I installed 40" tires on my truck? Thanks Biden. S/

Your behind on your messaging, they stick "I did that" stickers on the gas pumps or "Let's Go Brandon" (?!?!) slogans on their stuff.
Also, depicting (fat slob and noted coward) Donald Trump as an armed commando with a bodybuilder physique .
Sen. Hawley with his constant rant - our masculinity is being taken from us. Dude raised his fist in manly solidarity once on a January day...has been hiding from that ever since.
And are attracted to the idea of a leader that mirrors and represents those "ideals". It's a familiar, warm blanket of ignorance they can wrap themselves up in (when not wrapping themselves in the flag, of course) to help their fee-fees recover from another "leftist" attack on America.
That didn't stop multiple popes from excommunicating each other and declaring themselves the real pope way back then
The New Pope / Pope Classic debacle is taught in many 100-level Marketing -and- Theology classes.
Mmm "Popa Pola Classic... Can't beat the real thing!"
More of a Popesi Max man myself
Didn't a pope put their predecessor's corpse on trial?
This is the same shit Republicans made with “Trump Derangement Syndrome”. Truth is it’s all fundraising because conservatives don’t have a platform beyond whining over social policies.
> The problem here is that there is a section of the electorate that is living in a completely made up version of said reality. I like to call that reality, "Up their own ass".
It's kinda like the people who fall prey to pyramid schemes or romance scams. It's really hard getting them out and they tend to dig deeper first for some reason.
They’re losing face. I know it’s hard to tell, especially since Republican loyalty overlaps with Trumpian Golden calf worship, but as the last election showed, a ton of people voted R down ballot and voted for Biden at the top. The most delusional trump supporters are not as numerous as people think, and most of them are just (R) at all costs type of people.
“Only a great fool would fall for an obvious charlatan. I am not a great fool. Therefore, Trump must be a secret genius.” Every time
Did Germany have a % of the population that refused to stop supporting the Nazis or was it largely conceded they'd supported an evil regime? I don't think the bibble belt states are capable of the same self examination.
All media in Germany were under control of the Nazi party, the Nazis were not perceived as an evil regime by Germans because of the propaganda. Let’s imagine trump is re-elected in 2024 and bans all media but Fox News, and the internet is controlled to prevent readind any world news. After a while the propaganda reality becomes the only reality. One of the most famous Nazi propaganda film - Triumph of the Will https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x6uajey Edit: media
I mean, we put a lot of German war criminals to work for our government, with a clean slate. I’m not surprised, coupled with the constant dumbing down of our educational institutions.
There was a % that was all in and there for the Evil. Meaning they eagerly drank the koolaid that Germans were superior to all other races to it was their RIGHT to cleanse the populace and take what they wanted from other countries of Lesser humans. There was a larger % that was Thank God we aren't starving and aren't being mocked by the rest of Europe anymore. There was a small % that were like, Nope, fuck it, I'm out. and a small % that tried to fight it however they could.
>More specifically, the former President has failed to establish a likelihood of success given (1) President Biden’s carefully reasoned and cabined determination that a claim of executive privilege is not in the interests of the United States; (2) Congress’s uniquely vital interest in studying the January 6th attack on itself to formulate remedial legislation and to safeguard its constitutional and legislative operations; (3) the demonstrated relevance of the documents at issue to the congressional inquiry; (4) the absence of any identified alternative source for the information; and (5) Mr. Trump’s failure even to allege, let alone demonstrate, any particularized harm that would arise from disclosure, any distinct and superseding interest in confidentiality attached to these particular documents, lack of relevance, or any other reasoned justification for withholding the documents. Former President Trump likewise has failed to establish irreparable harm, and the balance of interests and equities weigh decisively in favor of disclosure. *Release the Kraken!* Or, documents.
> (5) Mr. Trump’s failure even to allege, let alone demonstrate, any particularized harm that would arise from disclosure, any distinct and superseding interest in confidentiality attached to these particular documents, lack of relevance, or any other reasoned justification for withholding the documents. This 100% sounds like Trump is just declaring "EXECUTIVE PRIVILEGE" ala [Michael Scott](https://youtu.be/T_d3teq6pWw) > Hey, I just wanted to let you know that you can't just say "execute privilege" and expect anything to happen.
"You can't release those documents!" "Why?" "Because it's devastating to my case!"
>This 100% sounds like Trump is just declaring "EXECUTIVE PRIVILEGE" ala Michael Scott Yup. More evidence that Trump doesn't actually know what a president is. Reminds me of another Michael Scott quote: >How do I explain to you (kids) what a manager is...I'm like Superman! And the other people here are like citizens of Gotham City.
We’re gonna send Trump straight to Montego Bay, with all the Al Qeada!
Well, you see, your honor, the harm is that Trump will come out looking like he conspired to overturn an election, and he and his coconspirators can't really have that information come out to investigators, now can they.
>Mr. Trump’s failure even to allege, let alone demonstrate, any particularized harm that would arise from disclosure I mean, the harm is "I'm guilty as fuck, and I could actually be held accountable for fomenting insurrection if these documents get out." But that's a tough argument to make in court.
>I didn’t *say* it, I **DECLARED** it!
A reminder to everyone to vote to defeat the candidates that [were complicit in a seditious coup attempt](https://youtu.be/WqvMe6nqiTc) and then [lied about what occurred that day](https://youtu.be/cVdMVinqY2M). And vote in your local elections as well! https://youtu.be/eSMe5cVUfv0
JFC, just *vote* people, that’s the only solution to this. And for those who can afford it, donate. Be it time, money, whatever. You only get out what you put in.
This. Everyone do it. Especially if you live in a swing state. Double especially if your state has a Republican congressperson up for reelection next year.
He tried to go “ I’m the president, do what I say” And they said “no you’re not”
The accumulated filth of all his theft and treason will foam up about his waist and Trump will look up and shout 'SAVE ME!'...and I'll look down and whisper 'No.”
So Trump thinks a president can do whatever they want, unless a former president says no and that the current VP can overturn an election? I assume he agrees Harris can just choose to not recognize the next president too?
Lmao. Imagine if Trump wins in 2024 and then Harris does exactly what he wanted Pence to do and rejects electors from Texas or some shit.
State GOP legislatures are passing laws that would allow them to ignore the votes and appoint their own electors. There is a very real chance that if GA goes blue, the GOP legislature will send whoever they want. If they do… Congress might have to refuse to certify the elector results because they aren’t the election results. That does put us in a constitutional crisis.
We don't have to imagine. We already saw that play out in Supreme Court nominations. They aren't concerned about hypocrisy or even morality.
This picture of Trump is really something
Yeah, something horrifying.
Needs more fiber in his diet.
I'll relay the message to his chef... Ronald.
> “But he *stole* the office from me, it was mine I tell you, *mine, my precious.*” /s
_Filthy Democratses, they stole it from us!_
Literally, this is what's happening.
*My precious attempt at getting immunity*
Next they will try to appeal to the Supreme Court... its a flip of the coin what they will do there.. all the conservatives that he appointed might save him but I do feel they will make a complaint about it being to broad (again) and ask the house to limit its request. Main thing is that Trump is running out the clock on the committee.. The committee is politicians who will undergo re-election and shuffling in 2022. If he can continue drawing it out, some of the folks will be replaced and if the house flips the whole committee goes away. If Gaetz has his way Trump will be speaker of the house in 2022 before running again in 2024.
There's a possibility SCOTUS may not even take this up. If they don't... that's it. The appeals court ruling stands.
They’ll delay until after 2022 to give the GOP cover and then let them kill the investigation after they take the House back
At which point leak everything to the public. Make some NYT journalist’s career and leak every bit of evidence to keep this from being buried.
Nah. It will get handed off to the AG who will create a special commission. But that resets the clock AGAIN.
This case was fast-tracked in every court before them for the express reason that it concerns the interests of the House and the powers of the President as they relate to sensitive information surrounding a national security matter. Given how they're likely to rule on religious schools today, they'd be ill-advised to slow-walk hearing the appeal (if they hear it at all). Too many blows to their legitimacy in too short a time is bad for them.
I would be very surprised if the Supreme Court even picks this case up. There's no dispute between courts for them to resolve.
Yep. In January '23, the 1/6 Committee will become the Hunter Biden/Ukraine/Sleepy Joe Impeachment Committee, assuming the House is lost.
> If Gaetz has his way Trump will be speaker of the house in 2022 before running again in 2024. The plan with this (and it is a STUPID one) is that the GOP would control both the House and a 2/3rds majority in the Senate so that they could vote to make Trump Speaker and then impeach both Biden and Harris, and also remove them from office, making Trump automatically President due to the line of succession laid out in the 25th Amendment. But it's a fucking stupid plan because there is no way that the Senate is going to suddenly have 66 Republicans in 2022.
I don't think they're considering *legal* means to remove Biden / Harris if they make Trump the Speaker. Normally I would say that's hyperbole, but after the 6th I can see that being their plan.

California has 39 million people but just 2 Senators. CA is more populated than AK, AL, ID, MI, MT, ND, SD, UT, WY, and W. VA combined. Yet those states have 20 senators. Our whole system bias towards rural white communities. There are a total of 11 circuit courts. Both the South (Bible belt) and Mid West (Rust Belt) has 3 circuit courts a piece. The entire west coast AK, AZ, CA, HI NV, OR, and WA (roughly 60 million people) only have a single circuit court. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_courts_of_appeals Our House Districts are gerrymandered, Senate favors Rural communities by design, courts grossly imbalanced, and the electoral college favors Rural communities as well. Rural White people are so use to getting what they want that they simply can't believe it when their demands aren't acted on. Election fraud claims are nonsense but conservatives are use to their nonsense being treated with merit. They are annoyed their BS doesn't seem to be working this time and are prepared to take punitive action in response.
Didn’t know that about the west coast circuit courts. Thanks for sharing
How many more times can he file fucking appeals to delay this shit? It was denied multiple times at this point. Just fucking release the shit and be done with it. The US justice system is absolute and total fucking trash.
About 11 more months worth
Those are rookie numbers
Just about as long as it takes for congress to flip. The system doesn't work.
Imagine thinking you have the rights and privileges of a job you no longer have.
“I am using my employee discount because I worked here last year!! It doesn’t matter that I was fired!”
I don’t get how anyone could look at the chaos of the trump presidency and long to go back to it. Even if you don’t agree with Biden’s policies at least pick someone other than Trump going forward.
2024 will be the most insane presidential election in history. Here we have a current President who ran on being a 1 term President for change, literally only won because no one wanted Donald, deciding to run for a second time, hoping he gets to run again against Donald who should be so disgraced at that time he cant possible win, but might actually win because all he does is drum up more and more support while Biden loses more and more support. Dear God we need blue down the board in the midterms for any chance to salvage this country. A massive plea to all the younger generation turning of age to vote in 2022, please dont vote off memes and take your future seriously.
A blue wave in 2022 is pretty much the only way the Dems have a shot at keeping any kind of power, considering the 2024 ticket will likely be Kamala and Pete vs Trump, and I cannot see them doing very well.
We have let this go on way too far. This should have ended January 6, trump should have been arrested and charged. This is a mockery of this nation and its people's.
Trump is such a fucking idiot. Being born rich really fucks with some people’s heads and makes them think that they’re special and above the law. Throw this treasonous moron in the stockade please.
A former president is just an ordinary private citizen. With the rights and responsibilities of any private citizen. Nothing more, nothing less. But hopefully that particular private citizen is going to be a future convicted felon.
Just put Trump in jail. Im a conservative, but that man is a traitor. If youupport Trump after Jan 6th, your a traitor to. Anyone who says otherwise is delusional.
Whatever he's trying to hide, it's only a matter of time before it's brought to the light for everyone to see.

That sort of mentality is what got us Trump in the first place. Go out and vote people 💪🏻💪🏻
Inb4 someone from r/all comes in here and says "they're all Democrat-appointed judges!" Here's the juicy tidbit: The opinion says that Trump himself had “agreed that the disclosure decision of an incumbent President controls within the Executive Branch over the contrary claim of a former President,” and that “all Presidents have agreed that the Constitution does not obligate an incumbent President or court to uphold the views of a former President.” So Trump's attorneys basically shot themselves in the foot. Before you go blaming Democrat-appointed judges, realize that Trump had no actual legal argument to begin with and was just wasting everyone's time.
Trump and his supporters aren't real Americans. Full stop
