      “My first act as dictator: a day now lasts as long as I say it does!”

      Just long enough for him to redefine “day” as 14088 hours /s (ugh I feel gross just saying that number, yuck)

    Imagine what they’d say if Biden decided to be “Dictator for a day”. If Trump can do it, so too can Biden.

      Time for the Frank Wilhoit quote:

      Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition … There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.

      No, they realize it. They just think they’ll be the ones putting boots on the necks of all the people they hate.

          About the “we didn’t know” part, it’s worth noting that we’ve heard it before… Recall “He’s not hurting the people he needs to be”

          The dildo of consequences rarely arrives lubed.

          They shouldn’t buy sex toys from the Leopards-eating-faces Party.

    Sure. Because they actually believe he would be for just one day, as if ‘dictator for a day’ even makes any sense. They really believe he would be dictator for a day and then be a regular old president.

      Trump, as dictator: “I wish for more wishes!”

      It’s not that they believe him, it’s that they don’t care if he oversteps or abuses his power. If he was a dictator for one minute he would hurt the people they hate; he did that shit legally!

      There’s not one person who’s ever lived I would vote to be exempt from all laws and to do whatever the hell they want. But I’m not a bootlicking sycophant, so…

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
