Biden is 81 For the good of America he should just resign himself to eating Trump. The only consequences he would now face are indigestion.
So when Trump becomes president he can just throw all his political opponents in jail, right? It’s a presidential action.
The USA just created a second Russia, China, North Korea, …
Biden should take his balls in his hands and fire the republicans from office as an “official action to save the poor”, get rid of the crooked supreme court justices as an “official action to restore balance”, write a new constitution as an “official action to save the country from the brink of destruction”, and just in general clean up the laws in the country as an “official action”. No more gerrymandering, get rid of first past the post and the two party system, make the presidential election a direct vote instead of the bullshit electoral college, and so many other things.
Do it, you fucking coward.
Centre of democracy my arse
It staggers me that in reality so much of the operation of various countries democracies have relied upon good people acting in good faith.
Was Scomo making himself anything less than a king by secretly appointing himself as the minister in charge for every key portfolio? Roll out martial law, and congratulations, you have a new dictator. Surely, he could have done it with the panic around covid.
I always thought that looking back through history, with the lessons from ancient Egypt, Greece, the Roman Empire and even the rise of Stalin, Hitler etc we would be aware of what to look for and wouldn’t fall for the same thing over and over.
But it still seems to be so incredibly easy to achieve. It doesn’t seem to matter how ‘democratic’ you are, or how democratic you think your society is.
I am disappoint…
i think it would be funny if joe went sicko mode on this precedent and did some housecleaning to demonstrate materially why and how the supreme court made a massive mistake.
He won’t but it seems win/win to me.
- I mean, he’s not long for this world so he won’t even really have to deal with the consequences.
- He’ll definitely end up in the history books for centuries.
- We wouldn’t have to deal with Trump anymore.
- The Republican party would be in chaos.
- There would almost certainly be a bipartisan push for a constitutional amendment to limit the ability of the President to do shit like that in the future.
The only potential downside I can see is that they might use Trump as a martyr to get someone even crazier and probably smarter elected.
Oh yeah, the end of democracy and the peaceful transition of power, and the beginning of outright fascism. So funny! Haha.
It wasn’t funny when that actually came to pass but we’re beyond that stage now. Democracy is already dead. Peaceful transition has already failed. January 6th was the fuckaround, and it’s begging for a findingout.
