Slammed 💥 🦹♂️
🙄
The Russian vacuum between his ears had a short circuit.
I am so fucking sick and tired of hearing " Trumps XXX Slammed" headlines.
I don't want there to be some mildly upset articles about trumps fascist actions
I want there to be hard fucking reactions and consequences for his fascist actions.
I should really just keyword filter all headlines with the word “slammed” in it.
But like. Are you stopping him? He's been doing shady and illegal shit for ages, and yall can point out its illegal and shady, but like. Are any of those critics actually stopping him or nah
Like please, I want some good news, and Moral High Ground does not count
This is maybe the 8th headline over seen today saying Trump was "slammed" for doing something illegal and/or stupid.
That's kind of like doing something, right? /s
Some days you see this shit and wonder why you participate in a meaningless system that lets convicts be President.
Like as naked apes on a floating rock in eternal space I gotta wake up every morning to go to work and "be a good worker" while this motherfucker breaks laws and wants to make up shit as he goes.
Cool. No wonder I have no more motivation to be a good worker anymore.
I wouldn't mind a system that allowed ex felons to be elected. I very much mind one that allows a current felon to be elected. I don't know what amount of time we should let pass but a felony shouldn't be the end of your civil rights.
Sometimes I hope the asteroid wipes us out in 2032
Bad news, it's not nearly big enough to end life on Earth, and wouldn't even hit in North America.
God damn it I'm done with you, internet. Nothing but bad news.

SLAMMED
wasted
If he opens that box, then come the next president Trump might finally end up in jail. But nah! Go ahead fucker! Let's see this get interesting. Like the new ROTC students required to wear KKK hoodies. That wouldn't be at all sus. We know the guy is out of his mind full dementia empty skull. The world just needs that one last straw.
And may I remind us all how happy Duterte was just a few years ago. Jailing people, murdering, etc. The guy even silenced TFC so Filipinos abroad didn't need to bother with the stuff he was doing at home. Now he's in jail. Not easy, pay your way out jail. This is Saddam Hussein hanging jail. The consequences for crimes against humanity need to be real. So just let us enjoy our daily rat race until we too end up in Guantanamo accidentally. Worrying about things that are coming on to others is fruitless. But we should hope that the international court at least gets putin.
Biden had the chance to do that in 2020. He should have arrested Agent Krasnov and his henchmen on the first day of his presidency, and detained them in isolation without bail or access to the media, until their trials were resolved.
Instead he appointed a weak Reoublican as his AG who gave hime a 2 year head start to run out the clock.
The Dems had the perfect chance to rid ourselves of the MAGA scourge, and defend our country, and they totally abdicated their responsibility. It will be 100 times harder to take it back now, and I don't see it happening without violence.
I remain optimistic. All this has laws to prevent it. Perhaps optimists like me should continue the slow work of politics and truth in speech and writings. Meanwhile as a peaceful person I believe it is your American freedom that is constitutionally legal to free speech and all that that entails.
A law is only a law insofar as it is enforceable. Thus far for this asshole, they haven't been. There's no reason to assume that if we just sit back and wait for someone else to deal with it, his luck is suddenly going to change. It might, and I hope it does, but twiddling our thumbs while the world burns doesn't seem like the best course of action.
The problem is that the MAGA Nazis are literally traitors, and don't respect the laws or the courts, and they are starting to defy them in increasingly confrontational ways. They were just ordered to hold the deportations of Venezuelan prisoners to a far-right nation who is known for the brutal treatment and torture of prisoners, and they simply ignored it, and tweeted "Oopsie."
Following that, Kapo Stephen "PeeWee Himmler" Miller spoke to the press and whined about a judge who represents one geographical region ruling on the administration. Thats how the courts work, whether they like it or not.
The laws you respect, and are optimistic that they will protect you and this country, no longer exist. Like Hitler, one of the first policies he enacted was The Enabling Act, which makes the president the final say on what is law and what isn't, and that can change from day to day.
You’re optimistic to assume that there will be free elections.
One can only dream
The Hague Hilton isn't where Duterte belongs, but it's better than nothing.
Oh, wait! Saddam went to the iraki court. That's where he was given his upside down tie to ride one last swing. I propose Duterte checks that out! A tie would look good on him.
Druggie ass midnight rant. Trump scratched his ass and accidentally had a finger go up his hole and his druggie brain got triggered with some ridiculous nonsense. It's the only real explanation for this shit. It's non-stop and we're less than 100 days in.
Oh god, it has been less than 100 days
I declare Trump's presidency void. He isn't obeying laws; he's no longer a legitimate president. He is a dictator. And a hypocrite any time he enforces laws of any kind.
To clarify, I think someone who has broken laws CAN enforce them without being a hypocrite, but only if they have taken accountability for the laws they have broken.
This is the oath presidents must make before exercising any official powers or duties:
I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.
He has been very obviously doing the complete opposite of that. The GOP has some pretty flexible mental gymnasts in their circus, but I don't think even they will be able to dodge this one.
My understanding of the supreme court ruling was that he has immunity only for "official acts". So... If he violates this oath, he isn't authorized to exercise any official powers of the presidency, and thus anything he's doing isn't official! Right? I hope so. It'd give me something to look forward to as we suffer through the next 4 years.
As far as I remember it was a two part protection. Any official act, no matter the intent, is protected. So as one dissenting justice pointed out, ordering seal team six to assassinate a political rival could be protected as it falls within the powers of the president to direct the military. Besides that, any criminal action outside of that overly broad protection still cannot be prosecuted using any evidence that comes from the actions of the president in their capacity as such. So if the president has a phone call logged in official records in which they outline or perform an illegal act, those logs will be inadmissible in court, only evidence reltaed to the president as a private individual is admissible. The stormy daniels case had to throw out evidence because of this, despite being related to crimes committed before the election even.
Obligatory disclaimer: I’m not a lawyer and working off of memory. I might misunderstand or misremember some of this.

Slam it all you want, it means nothing until someone actually does something.
"SLAMMED!", I pronounce into the face of the arresting ICE agent.
"S-S-S-SLAMMED!", I cry out as the DHS official drags me down a hallway towards my El Salvadorian prison cell.
"Seee-Lamb-da!", I exclaim as the door to my cell clangs shut.
I do not know whether it is to yourself or Mr. Adams I am to give my thanks for the copy of the new constitution. I beg leave through you to place them where due. It will be yet three weeks before I shall receive them from America. There are very good articles in it: and very bad. I do not know which preponderate. What we have lately read in the history of Holland, in the chapter on the Stadtholder, would have sufficed to set me against a Chief magistrate eligible for a long duration, if I had ever been disposed towards one: and what we have always read of the elections of Polish kings should have forever excluded the idea of one continuable for life. Wonderful is the effect of impudent and persevering lying. The British ministry have so long hired their gazetteers to repeat and model into every form lies about our being in anarchy, that the world has at length believed them, the English nation has believed them, the ministers themselves have come to believe them, and what is more wonderful, we have believed them ourselves. Yet where does this anarchy exist? Where did it ever exist, except in the single instance of Massachusets? And can history produce an instance of a rebellion so honourably conducted? I say nothing of it’s motives. They were founded in ignorance, not wickedness. God forbid we should ever be 20. years without such a rebellion. The people can not be all, and always, well informed. The part which is wrong will be discontented in proportion to the importance of the facts they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions it is a lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty. We have had 13. states independant 11. years. There has been one rebellion. That comes to one rebellion in a century and a half for each state. What country before ever existed a century and half without a rebellion? And what country can preserve it’s liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them.What signify a few lives lost in a century or two?
The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is it’s natural manure.
Our Convention has been too much impressed by the insurrection of Massachusets: and in the spur of the moment they are setting up a kite to keep the hen yard in order. I hope in god this article will be rectified before the new constitution is accepted.
-Thomas Jefferson
It's powerfully written and just a shame it had to come from a child rapist.
Alright boys, slam 'em

Oh, that’s what it takes to finally call him a dictator?
I had this in my office Fantasy Dictator Pool: before end of March, POTUS will attempt to undo Biden's pre-emptive pardons.
But I sincerely hope my other predictions DON'T come true. They're much darker.
I've got civil war by July 4th. Only time will tell.
