    All I can do is laugh at this point. This regime is so buffoonish and so open with their intentions that I genuinely wonder how people fell for this shit and continue to believe it. Are we really this fucking dumb ?

    Pressed whether his administration is following the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution, which says no person “shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law,” Trump said he wasn’t sure.

    “I don’t know. It seems – it might say that, but if you’re talking about that, then we’d have to have a million or 2 million or 3 million trials,” he said. “We have thousands of people that are some murderers and some drug dealers and some of the worst people on Earth.”

    It might say that? Might? This isn’t something that is debatable you hippopotamic dung heap. That’s what it fucking says.

    A lot of Trumpers here decorate their cars with “We the people…” in Constitution-style script. I wonder how much of it he needs to violate for them to see the disconnect.

    I always go back to that early coronavirus briefing where a reporter questioned his authority to dictate state government lockdown policies and he just sat there stunned, repeating “when you’re the president your authority is total because you have total authority, it’s total…” It’s been clear for years that this fucking guy never understood the job description, and rather than learning anything from experience, he’s having it rewritten. The constitution isn’t going to save us from that.

    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.

    -President Trump, just this year.

        the world is not binary. there are many people who bare part of the responsibility:

        • the republican party - all of them
        • republican voters
        • the democratic party
        • no-voters (who didn’t want to “support genocide” and now you have a worse genocide and a bunch of other horrible shit including a shit load of extra war crimes in ukraine for the foreseeable future)
        • the media

        these and many more can have played a part all at the same time

            it’s worth calling out all on their own because it surfaces a specific problem… just saying “billionaires ruin everything” isn’t helpful, because it simply shifts blame to a nebulous concept that’s further removed from everyday people

            also, following orders is no excuse

              That’s valid.

              There used to be laws to force news stations to be bipartisan and show both sides.

              Copypasta:

              The “Fairness Doctrine,” which once required broadcasters to present contrasting viewpoints on controversial issues, was eliminated by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in 1987.

        This is what you get for running two genocidaires.

                Obviously that is a larger factor for mainstream American acceptance than distant genocide. Most voters have no concept of political theory or world events.

                  Virtually nobody cared about her being black or a woman.

                  Her policies were horrible period.

                  Most importantly: She got nominated by the DNC because of her horrible policies. Not despite of them.
