    So overturn or amend? Like I’m kinda surprised he’s even taking the constitution into consideration. Like he’s weird, he doesn’t seem to want to acknowledge that once he’s done all he says he wants to do the United States of America will no longer exist. Caesar could not cross the rubicon and rule the republic, he could only control Rome. Nor could Napoleon take full control of the French Republic. Republics are finicky things like that, a dictator can only ever hold their land, not the thing itself.

    This guy really thinks he’s never gonna die. I’ll be surprised if he survives this upcoming term, and not even from a Minecraft related cause, just poor health.

        When you’re talking about actionable threats, I.E. real world violence, but want to appear only hypothetical, the meme is, “I’d kill X in Minecraft.”.

        Creepers in the White House, it’s a known problem in the dark corners of the building. Half of what the secret service does in the morning is clear the building of creepers that spawned over night when no one was around to block hostile mob spawns.

          They’ve had to rebuild the place over and over and over and you have no idea how hard it is to find enough lapis for the floor tiles. Hours of digging tunnels down to the bedrock…

    “He jokes all the time,” said Rep. Eli Crane, R-Ariz., who was in the room at the time. “I think it’s one of the problems with politics is you can’t even tell a joke without being excoriated.”

    Definitely, that’s the problem in politics. Ffs.

      I think you should be able to DISTINGUISH it’s a joke. Also, as anyone who does politics will tell you, ANYTHING that comes out of your mouth into any form of microphone can and should be expected to be used against you, and should be expected to be believed.

      “Joking” in politics should’ve died with Reagan’s press sec laughing about gay men dying of AIDS.

      Any time he says anything that gets significant negative pushback, it is dismissed as a joke.

      Same thing with the rest of them. It’s always a joke unless you agree with them.

    He won’t need to run. He already said he will be a dictator. Dictators don’t need elections.

    This is what we get.

    Revolution is the answer. Killing the rich.

    Well, with having control of literally every aspect of the government they actually could change this country for the worse. However, it’s theoretically possible that some of them grow a spine.

    It’s going to be hard to campaign from a New York state jail cell for the next 4 years. The DOJ may have rules about a sitting president but he was neither when he committed the crimes he has already been convicted of in NY state court.
