Not really… It’s not that anything he says instantly becomes law, it’s only that he can’t be charged with committing a crime. It’s not a cheat code that lets him create or modify any law because the change or new law just won’t be recognized by the government. It isn’t a crime, per se, it just gets ignored. Or it gets voted on and the GOP squashes it.
Fucking lol,
This entire thread is people giving you answers that range from reasonable to nuanced, and you sticking your fingers in your ears and screaming about how the only options are murder or nothing.
I don’t get to pull this quote out very often, so please, feel honored.
What you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
Trump’s election proved that most of America’s governmental system was based around a series of “gentlemen’s agreements” and an expectation of fair play. America is not resilient to betrayal in any fashion. If one person stops respecting the rule of fair play the entire system crumbles.
Moderation isn’t in his playbook, he would never just add 4. He’d add 69+ new judges or else just appoint every single GOP congressman as a Supreme Court Judge.
The bricks don’t deserve that abuse.
There’s a very important difference here. If you’re fascist and rich, things can be done about your crimes. They are still crimes. Just nothing will be done.
A president can now do what he wants and nothing CAN be done about it, period, barring an actual act of Congress.
That’s an important distinction.
Name checks out.
Trump hasn’t been able to debate past 2004. Every single sentence out of his mouth since before his first 2016 campaign has been either gibberish or lies. I’ll take a doddering old man over a pathological liar every time if those are my two options. Not to even mention Trump’s extremely obvious dementia and extremely obvious fascist tendencies, racism, sexism, 34 felonies, convicted sex offender, on tape saying he’d like to fuck his daughter, on tape partying with Epstein, on tape committing voter fraud, can’t stay awake at his own criminal trial, moans and complains and cries at every little thing that hurts his widdle feewings…
And this is the guy you want running for president?
Hang on… So you aren’t going to trust a primary source from a country that doesn’t speak English, unless said source is in English? The fuck? Of course it’s in fucking Arabic, it was filmed in an Arabic-speaking country. Put it through a translator like the rest of the world did.
I would have preferred that they draw a line on specific acts not being considered “official acts”, especially as we draw the line between Trump’s presidency and his 2020 reelection campaign. I’m just not seeing a lot of honest discourse as to what this decision actually means from a legal perspective.
Well, that’s exactly the problem that has everyone up in arms here. They have made this ruling but conveniently failed to rule on what constitutes an “official” act. Therefore whenever a major ruling has to be done about this, they can decide at that time whether an act was official or not based on what flavor of president they’re ruling for or against, and until then the lower courts can take the heat off the SCOTUS directly by just ruling that everything Trump has ever done is legal because he was president once.
It’s a very transparently partisan ruling, setting the stage for further partisan ruling in the future by being extremely vague about what their ruling actually is. This ruling boils down to “the president is allowed to do anything he wants when we say so, and is subject to rule of law only when we say so, and whether we say so will be determined after the acts in question.” In this way the conservative-packed supreme court can easily enable a conservative president or trap a liberal one.
Alright this is like the third time I’ve seen a Whizzbanger in as many days. Who taught y’all about this? This is supposed to be cursed knowledge.

Humanity has an oligarch problem… We aren’t the first, and I’d be surprised to hear we were the last.
“Cruisin” is no longer a thing. Teens used to spend hours on nice nights driving up and down a certain stretch of road in nearly every city somewhere.
Not only is this no longer a thing it’s actually explicitly illegal in some places. Passing the same location 4 times within a short period or “driving without a destination” can get you a ticket if the cops are paying attention.
And yet it illustrates his point so poignantly!
that goofy dude that likes to play dumb around electricity
You’re probably talking about Electroboom, but also check out StyroPyro. Especially now, guy needs the views, he’s going through some serious medical issues. Probably my favorite YouTube channel that exists.
That’s real rich from the guy that didn’t even read his own source he posted in this conversation. Try harder.
He was the only option on my primary lmao
Fuck sake, why do you have to be right?
My immediate response was “well anyone who is paying attention absolutely would vote for one of them given the alternatives of Trump and Biden” but that’s exactly the point, most people aren’t paying enough attention. I can’t even argue with that. And the people whose vote we have to court the most are the fence sitters who definitely especially aren’t paying proper attention. Fuck.
I don’t even have more to add to that, now I’m just depressed. Because you’re right, I WOULD vote for Biden anyway even if I hate it, I said so myself, so I’m not even the target audience here. And Joe Moderate is going to ratchet us three clicks further right just in order to attempt preventing even worse.
On some level I definitely already knew all this but I have to say this is throwing it all into some pretty stark light.
Only sort of, it still exists but it’s a lot more compact now. And not super common as far as I know, like the other poster said here air cooling has come a long way. I’ve got a water cooled GTX 1080 Ti in my rig right now, but it’s basically just a couple rubber tubes coming off the GPU leading to a little square radiator that I have a fan bolted to. It all sits inside the case (or, well, it’s intended to… My case isn’t quite large enough for everything I’ve got in it so I’ve got the radiator and fan a little bit jury-rigged to the front of my case right now. No biggie.)
I mean, nice, but that definitely doesn’t in any way alleviate my fears of syphilis.
