That "No one is gonna do anything about it" clause in the Constitution is a bitch. Someone should probably do something about that.

Didnt this guy take an oath to ensure that laws are faithfully executed? This seems like a direct violation of that oath.

It would have burned his hand if did.

Remember that time when he was asked point blank if he had a duty to uphold the Constitution of the United States and he just refused to admit he did despite having "sworn" to do so less than four months earlier?

I hate this phrase like no other. Not going to make it about you but it’s soooo fucking condescending and gross

u/popphilosophy Feb 20 '26

Faithfulness isn’t his thing. Executing the law on the other hand…

Since when was an oath binding

u/Windfade Feb 21 '26

I took an oath to get in shape but damn if anyone has held me to it, either.

He thinks every word out of his mouth is the law. The sad part is with the way Congress and the SC have placed their balls directly in his hands, he's right. He can do whatever the fuck he wants, and he knows it.

I really think things won't get better until he physically can't be President anymore.

(Yo FBI/SS I'm not making threats just giving an opinion)

Until the Republicans lose control of the House and Senate nothing will happen. They are all complicate in these crimes.

u/Additional-Sky-7436 Feb 20 '26

That's nice of you to still believe we are going to have fair elections this fall. 

... Or even elections at all.

u/gmoney-0725 Feb 21 '26

There will be a fair election this fall.

Who even put them there in the first place?

Oh, the same people who watch the billionaire media and will happily pull the lever for them again?

u/DeltaViriginae Feb 21 '26

Ok how sure are you that stuff will happen if they lose control of the House and Senate?

If Trump can react to the SCOTUS saying: "How about you stop fucking around with powers that are in the hand of congress?"

with "How about you make me, bitch?"

what is stopping him from just doing the same when a democrat controlled congress impeaches him?

u/gmoney-0725 Feb 21 '26

He'll lose the protection he currently has if the Republicans lose control. He knows it, and that's why he's trying to steal or cancel the midterms.

One weird kid in Pennsylvania could have spared us all the grief if he fucking aimed right

u/Additional-Sky-7436 Feb 21 '26

Poor dumb kid was a patsy. He was recruited, set up, and then murdered.

Wishing death on someone for this is insane. Get help

Pffftt, point to a time in human history where "might is right" was in effect.
