He, also, can direct people to kill US citizens without concern to the Bill of Rights. Now it may be that it’s illegal for the person to carry out the order, but:
His right to do as he pleases is absolute and the intentions cannot be considered.
If Trump wins, come back to this mid-2026?
Trump signed an executive order and made much of the executive branch fire-able. Go far enough and that influence can turn into control over other parts of the government.
There’s a path to effective termination.
It’s the DNC, they’ll aim for a new coronated candidate.
At some point, that could be part of the delay.
He’s too virtuous. He hasn’t processed that anything he does is legal.
So he leads be example. Or something.
Maybe someone should explain it to him before 4 PM?
And a President can fire them. Or more. Because they said he could.
I think the commitment part is going to be a problem this election cycle.
They want to hurt us. It’s the common denominator for many.
The other stuff is noise. Porn stars, confidential papers, fraud, none of that matters. Because it doesn’t matter.
It’s the backlash. We weather it or we don’t.
No worries. Have absolutely done the same in the past.
And I’ll take the moment to salute your reliance on fact and citation. Wish more people did the same.

I’m not the one being slow. SCOTUS had 8 people while McConnell held up Garland.
Officially SCOTUS was and is nine people. But if the wheels of government turn slow enough, SCOTUS continues to do its job with whoever has made it through the process.
Officially 9, it functioned with 8. No one is credibly saying all those decisions must be thrown out or that SCOTUS cannot function during a shortage.
If that shortage was 4, people would be vocal. But legally, it would still be functional.
I not talking about changing the official number. I never did in this thread until you did.
It ran at 8 for quite a while. No one’s legitimately saying those decisions don’t count.
The official number can be whatever. Congress doesn’t get to nominate. And SCOTUS would keep deciding.
If there were 5 justices, they’d still be functional. As proven in the past, there’s no requirement for 9.

That and the dash cam.
If you’re worried enough about police integrity, have a dash cam and have it on. I’ve seen videos (rare) where the cop lied about speed and the dash cam was used to knock it down.
Even cheap ones could be used to figure out speed based on landmarks and time stamps. GPS speed would be more conclusive, though.
All the self righteousness of lemmy is strange.
There’s not just better opinions, even small decisions are morally imbued and if someone steps out of line…
Wait, does using sync cause hurricanes? Earthquakes? Will the four big ponies of the lempocalypse arrive and snort angrily?
Otherwise, I get that a surge of people elated they have something you don’t/can’t have is off putting. FOMO is real.
But it doesn’t need all the meme-shade.
Too many people assumed Clinton would win.
Ergo, she didn’t. Even so, never should have been close in the states that carried it over the line.
