Trump talking in 2024:

"dictator on day one"
"you won't have to vote again"

Am I suppose to be surprised?

[–] Clinicallydepressedpoochie@lemmy.world 24 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I believe I was banned from r/donald in 2016 because I posted after the election something like, "trump 2024."

Was told I was a troll.

Nope. It was clear since day 1 after the primaries.

Don't worry they're now doing deep reflection on their president and will recognize ah fuck I can't finish that with anything funny.

[–] Clinicallydepressedpoochie@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Lemmy try:

Don’t worry they’re now doing deep reflection on their president and will recognize the weight of the constitution- nope nope. Its all shit.

States were obligated to block him from the ballot based on the insurrection clause, but here we are

[–] JoeBigelow@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 year ago

Multiple states tried to take him off the ballot and we're fired not to.

[–] paranoid@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

I read somewhere that his only "legal" option for becoming president for another term is by running as the vice presidential candidate, and then having whoever was voted for president resign. He wouldn't technically be elected to the presidency, and thus could exploit a loophole.

That being said, I'm certain it would be challenged in court. The fact that it could even get that far is pretty disheartening

Edit: as someone pointed out in the replies, this would not be allowed under the 12th amendment

[–] WhiteRabbit_33@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Luckily the 12th amendment prevents that.

But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States

[–] paranoid@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I did not know that, thank you. That provides at least some relief!

[–] takeda@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

They already blatantly ignore constitution. Per 14th amendment he already is an illegitimate president.

He will absolutely want to stay in that position until he dies. We already were let down but Congress and Judicial and looks like we are the only ones on his way.

Despite what others might be saying showing our dissatisfaction works and we should not stop and give up. If we give up, he will get exactly what he wants.

If you are not allowed to run for president I don't think you are allowed to run for vice president. Speaker of the house however ...

[–] paranoid@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, another commenter linked the part of the 12th amendment that says anyone constitutionally ineligible to run for president may not run as VP. That's quite a relief

[–] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

There's a precedent where someone would have been skipped in the chain as replacement for the president because they weren't born in the US.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 5 points 1 year ago

That's not the only option.

He could have the president killed. Doesn't have to just make him resign.

[–] Wilco@lemm.ee 21 points 1 year ago (2 children)

What a fucking traitor.

That's probably what he was privately polling the state governors for, to see if he had the votes to amend.

Bad news ... it would be an Obama/Trump ticket if they allowed more than two terms again.

[–] flicker@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I really really really don't want them to amend. I really, really don't.

But I'm about... ninety percent certain that if I see an Obama versus Trump election, I'll need whoever breaks the news to me to be recording, because the mad laughter that erupts from me will soon be as ubiquitous as the Wilhelm scream.

"What sound shall we use here to signify pure insanity?" "Ah, yes, queue up the flicker laughter."

[–] Jax@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No they worded the amendment very specifically, it's two consecutive terms is the cutoff for whether you get a third term.

[–] Wilco@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

They can word it however they like. They will never get two thirds from both the house and senate.

Trump knows this, so he is going to try and "cheese" it and have Vance run with Trump as VP, hope they win, and then have Vance resign.

Vance is gonna fuck Trump over if this happens.
Trump is excluded from being the VP, he can't go on the ballot.

He may also try some "Speaker of the House" fuckery. Dictators are gonna try and dictate.

Trump knows that if someone tries to take office illegally then that person can actually be attacked as a domestic threat to the Constitution ... and it is perfectly legal for any US citizen to do it.

... swastika on your forehead.

Mansonesque forehead carvings are next.

$50? No wonder he’s negotiating with Xi now.

I think an application of some orange face spray would do well to complete the look:

[–] Clinicallydepressedpoochie@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Ask yourself, "would your founding fathers approve or disapprove you bear macing a wanna be king of America in the fucking face." Then just follow your heart.

[–] Hideakikarate@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

It really isn't hard to extract pure capsaicin from peppers. Slap that shit in a bottle with alcohol, get a pressurized sprayer, and then let 'em have it.

[–] Gowron_Howard@lemm.ee 10 points 1 year ago

It would be hilarious if the Chinese companies making these shitty swag items cut him off.

I was hoping 1946-2025. He’s going to destroy everything good in this world by 2028

[–] Audacious@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 year ago

Wouldn't be a bad idea to buy some of the nazi stuff if you are considering of doing any goodtrouble behind lines.

[–] lmmarsano@lemmynsfw.com 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

When will they start selling armbands?

[–] Clinicallydepressedpoochie@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Hmmm. Good point. Seems like they're leaving something on the table here. Guess it's time to get a website up and running.

[–] itsgroundhogdayagain@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What really evil stuff is he going to do while everyone is outraged over a hat?

[–] Clinicallydepressedpoochie@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Apparently he's just walking around the white house lawn and lying about being in trade talks with china while russia disrespects him by undermining peace talks.
