    Bro, he's fucked up world economies for a year and a half with impacts that will last a long time. Acting as if SCOTUS putting a stop to it solves everything.

    lol tariffs are doing exactly what he wants them to do, it means he and his buddies can make shit tons doing calls/puts based around them for insider trading. Even if SCOTUS says the current ones are unjust that just means he'll start tweeting out telling congress to put them in place maybe and since he owns them....cool, even if it doesn't work it's still just as effective to shake up the markets a little and make bank over and over again.

    And of course they are going to fuck with the elections, they may not just come right out and 100% stop elections completely because that would cause riots but they WILL do a ton of bullshit, that the courts might get upset with but if they start doing it in spring/summer then courts aren't going to even see that shit until after election.

    All in all seems that courts ruling against ol Donny boy and buddies hasn't really done shit to stop or even slow them down and the Dems ain't doing shit other then slinking back into the shadows and pretending they don't exist.

    edit- Sorry, what I said was way out of line. It hit a nerve, as Trump's tarris are having a horrible negitave effect on world trade, and thus it is having a massive effect on my livelihood.

    SCOTUS was suppose to rule on it back in November, but they won't. It will just sit on their desk, until they are forced to make a rule.

    The filibuster still exists nothing is going through Congress and there's very little he can touch on elections without them.

    True, he's not done much without Congress's help or approval so far. Only begun illegal mass deportations, illegal tariffs, and an illegal invasion of another country. And maybe some war crimes on random fishing boats. Nothing major.

    Kinda weird how Trump continuously flaunts the rule of law, then people return to quote and claim the rule of law will reign him in entirely. I just don't get it.

    Literal judges whining to attorneys that the government is ignoring them, while the attorneys lament and are ultimately unpunished for the actions of a POTUS...flaunting their orders and laws. Had two Americans gunned down and murdered in the streets, one of them while exercising their constitutional right to bear arms, and nothing has or will come of it. But they definitely aren't going to try and cheat in the next election.

    It's like this, only Trump found the magic switch instead and Dems are like "our ability to observe will protect us"

    I mentioned something in spam about white people (and those that throw themselves to the alter of white mediocrity cause aint nkthing about this giving supremacy) and their sense of justice in spam months/year or so ago and per usual got insane amounts of flak for it. Most white people grew up and were taught eventually the problems or bad guys would lose just go to the right people. There wouldn't be any significant loss (to white people, heavily implied if not outright said). Trump outright defies those teachings and most people when having their most core beliefs obliterated, mentally break and do nothing. You know in anime or other media when a character experiences something extreme and loses their mind for a while and becomes a husk? Yeah, like that but not as extreme. Slowly people are realizing the entire system is fucked (like BIPoC and LGBTQ+ folk been saying for decades) and I dont just mean the ones significantly online but even those that live in their bubbles. White women though, theyre a special wild card because they say they want change but what they mean is they deserve more of the power that white men have and if they get it, fuck y'all below them.

    Another example, when you were doing insane PR work for Israel and Jewish people when October 7th occurred. Eventually you challenged yourself and changed your tune. Or maybe not and just stopped mentioning it so much. Who knows! But yeah it's adjacent to that.

    Anyway! Trump says it's time to move on from the Epstein files. Just keep throwing this and the most egregious reports in his supporters faces and say they support kiddie rape, murder and cannibalism. Get back to those trolling roots y'all!

    Oh ya, you are def correct. It takes WORK to check yourself and alter your schema to truly accept something new as truth. Like you said, I have first hand experience of that. You have to be an honest person, but by God so many Americans are wholly dishonest and proud of it. I can't sleep at night knowing I'm a lying sack of shit that has to pretend he can't see contradictory evidence, but too many Americans are a-okay with that.

    God damn you make Kansas sad. C'mon now.

    You know why a lot of women are assaulted by men they trust?

    Because they literally let them do it - no no, not at once. They don't willingly allow themselves to be raped or beaten - they rationalize small grievances and dismiss the big "jokes" as something they'd never do.

    Until they do. Then they rationalize that it was a mistake, that there are plenty of times they could have crossed the line and didn't.

    Then it continues.

    You seriously think they would stop him on legal grounds just because?

    This is a fight where unless the majority of Americans, especially the ones who didn't vote, stand up and say dude what the fuck that's enough of this shit NO ONE WILL DO ANYTHING because they'll say exactly what Trump did on TV - "nobody's saying anything so this is what they want".

    Knock that shit off. Nazi Germany didn't come about because the courts didn't have legal standing and Hitler went on to legally declare war on and take the land of other nations.

    There are two ways to do this - illegally (ignoring the courts) or legally (declaring the actions as legal).

    Guess who gave Trump the ability to do anything illegal if it's considered an official act of the presidency?

    The Supreme Court.

    So legally, because sometimes that's all fucking lawyers know how to do is interpret things literally, he could say "securing elections and federalizing them is a national security issue so fuck you official act" and it will get stuck in the courts while he bleeds more money and good will out of the country.

    Stop being so myopic.

    I had a long drawn out response to Kuros retarded misinterpreting of the immunity ruling but fuck it I can't be bothered anymore. Just know that when the midterms are over and the GOP has gotten trampled I'm gonna be the most insufferable asshole in the election thread.

    You already are. lol

    And you still don't understand that trying to cheat and failing STILL counts as cheating.

    I'll gladly take some smug and insufferable posters if the GOP is railed in the midterms, I'd be fucking ecstatic about it. I still think its too early to tell, though. Tried to warn y'all about Trump back in 2016, tried to warn y'all about Kamala dropping the "Trump is fucking weird" strategy in favor of "WE MUST PROTECT DEMOCRACY" and how that would blow up in their face, but nobody listened. The cult is in deep, man, and they VOTE. Think about all the ones who make it their entire personality and then probably add another 50% on to that who don't say a fucking peep about politics but still vote Republican down ballot every time. The sooner people acknowledge that maybe the Dems can get an actual fucking winning candidate not named Barack Obama and put out a winning campaign.

    The worst part is when they cheat in this election, cause they definitely are trying, y'all will refuse to acknowledge it. Downright turn into a ghost and post in every thread except the one you were mistaken in.

    And IF Democrats win net seats, which is a BIG if, you'll also claim the cheating was never a problem or concern even though Democrats had to overcome it to secure their victory anyways. The admin is literally saying they will literally take actions and engage in behaviors we understand to be undemocratic and unfair. I really don't understand why people don't believe them.
