Summary
Trump declared Biden’s pardons “VOID” in a late-night Truth Social post, claiming they were signed by autopen without Biden’s knowledge—despite Trump having used autopen during his first term.
Trump warned pardoned individuals, including January 6th committee members (who weren’t charged with crimes), that they’re “subject to investigation at the highest level.”
Critics characterized his statements as “dictator shit” and questioned their legality, with one commenting this represents “the 17th constitutional crisis of just this weekend alone.”
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.
Alright boys, slam 'em
There’s not much holding him back. He’s been defying cour rulings left and right. The Dems are spineless and we’re fucked.

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.
Maybe Trump thought execute meant kill the office of the president
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.

That’s not true, I have jokes AND a winning personality!
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.
Sometimes I hope the asteroid wipes us out in 2032
I’m rooting for the AI ending. Maybe something superior can be born out of humanity so we served some kind of purpose.

I remember when I was young and optimistic and believed this was possible. The humanity at its best ending. I honestly don’t have that kind of faith anymore and doubt I can get it back now.

Given who’s funding the AI, a perverse instantiation or infrastructure profusion failure mode is far more likely
Imagine if the butter robot from rick and morty really takes its purpose “to pass butter” to heart, and concludes that, in order to maximize the degree to which it succeeds in passing butter, it must hack and reorient the world economy to make as much butter as possible, and further apportioning resources to improve its ability to pass butter en-masse, then it just goes full “I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream”, but it imprisons a few people and just passes the ever-growing amount of butter between them
Hah. That is a very depressing end indeed.
Bad news, it’s not nearly big enough to end life on Earth, and wouldn’t even hit in North America.

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.
No wonder I have no more motivation to be a good worker anymore.

Europe watching the USA lately:
If we get through this presidency, and that’s a big if, then we’ve got a fascist infestation and their enablers in congress that we’re going to need to take care of.
Time to truly drain the swamp by fucking force.
Don’t disrespect swamps like that, they’re a vital ecosystem. This is more like excising the cancer.

Yeah… shit’s getting wild, and not in a good way
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
Things haven’t gotten bad enough yet. Let’s hope they don’t but I’m not feeling optimistic
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 wish I could have a pool like that. Everyone I work with is very pro Trump. Its pretty sad.

I’ve got civil war by July 4th. Only time will tell.
Could someone please take one for the team and end all this.
Why not you?
I got kids. :( also I am not very “accurate” or even knowledgable of the required implements.
Thomas Crooks tried.
End? Hah, if you killed him he’d be a martyr and his successor Great Leader Vance would run a more competent fascist operation.
Vance is incompetent and slimey. Trump is only getting away with this shit because 45%ish of Americans find him sophmorically funny.
He and Elon are simply too dangerous and if America wants to continue being a country both of them need very public lessons to discourage copycats.
Vance has an old school polotician side. If left to himself, he wouldn’t go against the courts for example. He is just willing to say what trump wants him to say.
Vance has an old school polotician side. If left to himself, he wouldn’t go against the courts for example.
“I think that what Trump should, like, if I was giving him one piece of advice, [is] fire every single mid-level bureaucrat, every civil servant in the administrative state,” he said in 2021 on a podcast. “Replace them with our people. And when the courts — because you will get taken to court — and when the courts stop you, stand before the country like Andrew Jackson did and say, ‘The chief justice has made his ruling. Now let him enforce it.’”
Now, Vance doesn’t have the iron grip on 33% of the country that Trump has, so it’s possible that he’d have to be more cautious. But he’s definitely not against ignoring the courts in principle.
You really shouldn’t believe anything either ofvthem ssy is their actual opinion or plan. Trump will say anything to please a crowd. Vance will say anything to please trump.
Vance said this well before he became the VP.
Don’t treat Vance like he’s harmless. Vance is dangerous. Unlike Trump, he has something of a coherent vision, and he believes in things beyond himself. He’s willing to violate the rule of law for the sake of ideals.
Assassination is not going to work. The line of succession is pretty shitty.
Ain’t no line of succession for Elon.
Too true!

Interesting idea. Someone in Ukraine could make an app to help make it all come true.

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.
Maybe we’ll get lucky and he’ll go through with his denuclearization plan and that will finally be the straw that breaks the camel’s back and the military will take him out.
How depressing that our best case scenario is a military coup.

German w/eyepatch Tom Cruise tried to assassinate Hitler, but it was unsuccessful.
why not? serious question, i don’t really know a lot about military leadership.
He already purged the generals and JAG, so I don’t know how likely that is or even if it would improve things.

This is what “they” want. I get it. I’m right there with you. Find something that you can lean on to help you keep your sanity; a hobby, a new tv show, volunteer to take care of puppies at your local shelter… you need to balance this firestorm before you get burnt out. But no matter what, we need you to keep fighting! We need you!
Edit.
That’s by design.
I’m so tired of the news instigating outrage.
Nobody is instigating anything here; the whole thing is just that outrageous.

Uh… You do realize America is becoming fascist right now right? I wonder if German media also hyperfocused on Hitler in the 1930s.
I’m so tired of the news instigating outrage.
Trump’s tyranny itself is what instigates outrage, not the news’ coverage of it.
Not even two months in, yet. I fear you won’t make it.

This is the truth and you should be outraged, but calling truthful reporting “instigating outrage” is insane

I should really just keyword filter all headlines with the word “slammed” in it.
I had “slams”, but not “slammed”. Fixed.
Oh, that’s what it takes to finally call him a dictator?
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
