Dare I say Trump is the next Hitler

You cannot fucking tell me that he does shit like this and nobody gives a damn. This has to be illegal

[–] QueenHawlSera@sh.itjust.works 5 points 19 hours ago

It is. But nothing will be done about it

Hatch act, it is in fact illegal.

[–] BanMe@lemmy.world 25 points 1 day ago (1 children)

He basically shredded the Hatch act his first term, there were no consequences, of course he's just gonna flat out ignore it this time.

[–] andros_rex@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Forcing those military generals to sit through a campaign speech showed that the Hatch Act is basically dead.

We need to give courts the power to order people with guns to enforce their rulings, lowe courts too

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 1 points 18 hours ago

We have that. Most judges can empower a Marshall or Marshalls. A federal judge can empower a federal Marshall and a state judge a state Marshall.

I think we're way past what's legal or not in this shithole. His whole point from the beginning was that he could shoot someone and nothing would happen and americans were like: wow. I like guns too.

it may well be illegal, but when has that stopped the 34 time felon rapist in chief?

[–] lukaro@lemmy.zip 27 points 1 day ago (1 children)

34 times convicted felon, who knows how many more he's committed without being convicted.

[–] aeternum@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

i mean, technically you're not a felon until you're convicted of a felony.

[–] Infrapink@thebrainbin.org 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Trump was convicted of those 34 felonies, he just wasn't punished for them.

[–] aeternum@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago)

I know. I was saying how the parent comment said that he had other felonies, just wasn’t convicted of them. you're not a felon until you're convicted of a felony.

Does anyone have the article or at least what the wording was changed to ? Blocked by paywall for me

[–] UltraBlack@lemmy.world -1 points 20 hours ago (1 children)
[–] smeenz@lemmy.nz 2 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

I'm reading lemmy using the Android voyager client, which seems to open the default Samsung browser which is quite limited in what it can do. I don't see any options in the settings to force it to use Firefox, or any other browser unfortunately.

So googling for "remove paywall" is not helpful

[–] Zink@programming.dev 2 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

I have no idea how similar the settings screens are, but in the iOS voyager client there is some kind of option if you go to:

settings

general

other

open links in...

[–] smeenz@lemmy.nz 1 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

Thanks, but unless I'm blind, there's no such option in the android one.

He's too dumb, also near death, but mostly, he's just too dumb. All of them are. Our saving grace is that the evil isn't smart enough to succeed at evil.

[–] cows_are_underrated@feddit.org 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I wouldn't call him dumb. If he was literally stupid he wouldn't have made it this far. He knows exactly what he does and doesn't care. Hes evil as hell, but not dumb.

[–] lichtmetzger@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The man himself is absolutely dense. Just listen to one of his speeches or interviews for five minutes. But the really smart (and dangerous) people are the ones whispering into his ear.

[–] wolfeh@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 23 hours ago

This is my impression. Kinda like Dick Cheney whispering into George W. Bush's ear, just... even more openly evil. And that's saying something.
