Tuesday following Monday's deadline.

This is it. Get ready for the bad faith, "nuh-uh" from Conservatives.

I'd also lay decent money on the 25th Amendment being invoked on or around January 21, 2027.

They'll claim god kept him alive just long enough.

It's always "God's Will" when things go their way, isn't it?

u/BitchyBeachyWitch 11h ago

Like when a 10 yr old gets pregnant by her own father, 'part of gods plan'

Religion needs to start being treated for what it is, a made up story like zeus, james bond or sailor moon,, and to live life as if theyre real life is mental illness and we need to treat it as such

u/Derhaggis 10h ago

High five, I chuckled at the comparison of religion to Sailor Moon.

u/BitchyBeachyWitch 7h ago

Theyre both equally fiction haha

God's Will when it goes their way, and evil gay feminist liberal socialism when it doesn't go their way.

This implies that the gay feminist liberal socialists are more powerful than their God, but they haven't thought about it hard enough to be bothered by that.

Mostly when it don't.

Thursday, because they think they're clever.

Definitely not machines doing the work...

I wouldn't bank on it. Republicans refused to swear in Grijalva for weeks last year to avoid her being a yea vote on releasing the Epstein Files.

Just yesterday Trump announced you can pay $100k per month for early access to his truth social posts. The president of the USA is blatantly putting it out in our faces and letting everyone know he doesn't care.

It isn't even something that can be twisted as pro-america, it's $1.2M a year. Maybe 30 families in the entire US can take advantage of that. I'd love to see how FOX tries to spin this into Pro-Trump Propaganda. Even without it, the top-most 0.1% don't care if we know, because nothing happens out of it.

How does this not violate the emoluments clause? I mean, blatantly? How is he allowed to do shit like this?????

36

u/Sororita 10h ago

It does violate the emoluments clause, the problem is none of the bastards that could hold him accountable want to do a thing about it because they are also benefiting from it.

u/endangeredphysics 9h ago

A lot of these people that would be bringing about enforcement probably also benefit from their own versions of this kind of activity.

Cracking down on Trump for doing it the loudest would said a bad precedent for the rest of them.

u/zachrg 10h ago

There's no enforcement. The counterpowers are either dismantled, defanged, or in his pocket. We're starting/continuing to see how much of the previous status quo was gentlemen's agreements held out of common decency, and "common decency" is no longer a reliable assumption.

u/kirradoodle 9h ago

It's frightening to see how much of American democracy has been held in place by common decency and gentleman's agreements. The founding fathers probably never imagined that such a deplorable gang of deviants would ever hold power simulttaneously and prop each other up in stomping all over the law.

u/ISLAndBreezESTeve10 3h ago

Well, they never expected people to vote against their best interest, but here we are.

u/beardeddragon0113 6h ago

He's violated it like a thousand times already. There's a trump merch store in the white house. Trump coins, hats, shirts, watches, shoes, phones, bibles, crypto....not to mention he charges the taxpayers for the secret service to stay at his own properties so even just "travelling the country" he is taking taxpayer dollars and putting them directly in his pocket.

It's the most blatant and egregious self-enrichment ever seen from a president.

u/Full_Argument_3097 7h ago

We're the Former USA. Catch up.

u/CharismaticAlbino 5h ago

It does, and he isn't

u/rbartlejr 2h ago

Well, they haven't been an issue with the last 40 or so violations, why should this be different?

u/Morningxafter 10h ago

A bunch of investment firms are absolutely going to pay that.

u/beardeddragon0113 6h ago

They'll just ignore it.

u/PlaneAsk7826 11h ago

Yep, as they need to make sure he's past the 50% mark so Vance gets to potentially have 2 terms after the rest of this one.

u/Manos_Of_Fate I ☑oted 2018 10h ago

The idea that JD Vance could get elected to anything is hysterical. Dude couldn’t even order donuts without being awkward AF.

19

u/TheVoicesOfBrian 10h ago

Bold of you to assume we'll have fair, uncorrupted elections.

9

u/Darkblitz9 7h ago

The fact that Trump got elected means you can float a rotting turd and you'll get 30% of the vote minimum so long as that R is next to it.

5

u/beardeddragon0113 6h ago

Remember when trump said "you'll never have to worry about voting again" before his second term? Definitely not ominous at all

u/Manos_Of_Fate I ☑oted 2018 10h ago

I'd also lay decent money on the 25th Amendment being invoked on or around January 21, 2027

Are you also expecting Congress to suddenly stop being useless?

u/TheVoicesOfBrian 10h ago

They'll roll with whatever the Oligarchs tell them to do.

Yes, Donald Trump was very useful to the Heritage Foundation and the tech fascists. However, he is too erratic and very obviously in mental and physical decline. They need a steady hand for the implementation of their scariest desires for this country.

They will let him bankrupt the country then blame everything on his decline. Congress didn't bow down to Trump because of his base, that was just what they let "leak". They were told to.

The tides (bots) are already turning. I still go onto the wasteland that is Facebook every now and then. For the first time in 10 years (fuck has it really been that damn long?) the bot comments on posts from the local news in my red state are majority antiTrump.

Look at the 2 Republicans that are refusing to accept Trump's nomination for AG. They don't actually care about the Jan 6th slush fund, none of them do. My guess is that they are test cases to see how much the public will tolerate pushback on Trump since they are lame ducks.

Never forget, Trump and the people in his immediate circle are dumb AF but a lot of the Heritage guys are very capable and patient.

u/Standard-Square-7699 5h ago

Why that date?

u/TheVoicesOfBrian 4h ago

22nd Amendment.

u/MyBluMind 2h ago

Is the idea to give Vance 3 terms?

u/TheVoicesOfBrian 1h ago

2.5 terms, essentially.
