He can confess to multiple murders and show the bodies on stage and nothing will happen. The US “justice” system only applies to poor people.
And Democrats. You’re going to see the DOJ move at light speed now. Moved at glacial pace with the previous administration but now that vindictive retaliation is on the menu they’re going to give Sonic a run for his money.
Maybe, or maybe we’ll get a lot of firey talk, sternly worded letters, terse lunches, and frustrated phone calls from both sides.
And then they’ll all meet on the green at 2pm and have a leisurely game of golf before going home to their mansions in their gated communities.
And the media will jingle the next shiny thing for us to look at.
He could rape and murder kids on stage and nothing would happen, and his supporters would dismiss it by saying that the kids deserved it. He’s a narcissistic psychopath, and he holds the nuclear codes.
Good luck, America.
Here we go again. Even when he’s literally found guilty, it makes no difference because there’s just not the will to make it stick.
Get the message: the system will not save us from Trump.
We need a Luigi.
Ding ding ding. Constitution? Basically a system. Justice department? A system. They have failed. We keep pretending like a super hero is gonna show up, correct it all then vanish again for another 50 years.
Goku shows up and wishes us to New Earth
It doesn’t fucking matter. He can splatter an infant against a tree like an old testament god and nothing will ever happen then either.
None of this defeatist bullshit. It matters.
https://lemmy.world/c/keeptrack
Keep track. Or don’t keep track and keep it out of your head for your health.
Just no defeatist bullshit.
Oh come on… Maybe in 2020 you could get away with this blind positivity but at this point you’re just denying reality.
Keep track has existed pretty much since Trump first showed up, “we’ve” accomplished fuck-all. We did however elect a feckless piece of shit who picked another feckless piece of shit to run the DOJ and together they also accomplished fuck-all.
Trump is going to get away with literally everything, as he already has, save for some state level civil b.s he can’t use the DOJ to make go away.
Defeatist or blind positivity, none of it matters. We have no control. You can, as I have, and many others, shout from the rooftops of all the shit we’ve kept track of, but as long as fox news exists, as long as Elon keeps buying social media to control, we will have next to 0 impact getting people to realize.
Honestly keeping with what I’ve just said, even this means nothing and has no real purpose. I think “keep track” just triggered me. It’s all useless.
Maybe it’s worth keeping track of so when the dust all settles and it’s all over, someone has a real-time record of it.
I basically agree with everything else you said though.
I wish I could tune out. My mental health is already shite, but I am terrified. My state already had a law that just passed defining sex, with this new EO I’m terrified they’re coming after my drivers license. I’m terrified that they’re going to institutionalize and detransition me.
I don’t know how to balance staying aware enough to keep my self safe without being terrified and exhausted into paralysis.
I appreciate your effort but a person is smart people are dumb. OP is correct and not only that his smiting a baby will come with a chorus of applause. This only changes when the idiot masses wake up again but I fear WW3 has to happen first. History doesn’t repeat but it rhymes. This is the path we are on.
Yeah. Trump and his supporters don’t matter. Take from them everything, and leave them with nothing but regret, fear, and pain.
Thanks for pointing out that community, because I’ve been trying to figure out how to get some kind of news feed that only covers the important things that we actually need to know about, without having to subject myself to the firehose of irrelevant bullshit that the media breathlessly covers as if it was just as important as news about stuff that is actually happening and getting buried in all that distracting trash.
Keeptrack seems like it should work for me for this purpose. It looks like posts there will be just the actual actions taken by our new overlords that impact us, without all the crap that’s just bluster for drama and stoking the base.
Sorry, we can’t prosecute a sitting president. It’s tradition.
Fiddler on the roof intensifies
It’s a tradition we’re starting just now, but a tradition nonetheless!
Lee Harvey Oswald had entered the chat…
"He knows those computers better than anybody. All those computers, those vote-counting computers, and we ended up winning Pennsylvania like in a landslide.
Except that Elon actually doesn’t know shit about computers. Trump is just rambling delusionally like usual.
I wish people would stop conceding even that about Elon. The guy is not some technical whiz at anything that I can discern.
Does he even have a real degree?
Virtually all of the self-created myth about Elon seems to be complete bullshit.
Elon musk is great at buying companies that could be promising and getting them to massively grow. It’s likely mostly about being able to secure funding, but it’s something I guess.
He’s been massively inconsistent about the year, some weird story about grad school requirements.
His “woke mind virus traceroute” post just does not seem like the kind of thing anyone who has ever used any form of command line would actually write. The way he talks about physics and rocketry, as someone who has taught physics and also been blessed to actually talk to some of the smartest NASA scientists in the world, does not sound like the way that people talk about physics and rocketry.
Elon dazzels Trump with tales of setting the correct time on all sorts of video players.
Or repeating Elons bs bragging
You don’t understand they guy is an absolute genius, he’s on the factory floor every day, with a welding machine and soldering iron building all theses Tesla’s. He also wrote all the software himself so we have full self driving cars since 2015, they never crash! I just took a robo taxi this morning, it was kind of big and there where other people in it, but I didn’t have to drive or do anything, all thanks to Elon.
Musk hired someone to use Starlink to change the votes, this is not news to me.
There’s nothing special about starlink. They’re just big routers. And unless an election office is running off starlink, (they aren’t), there would be evidence all the way down the line to the ground terminal used to connect to starlink. Furthermore it would require well over 100 people from both parties and disparate social groups to keep a secret. Because it would absolutely be noticed. And the people whose job it is to notice it don’t stay quiet, it’s kind of their thing.
Then why’s he praising Musk for “using the computers well” to “win Pennsylvana”
He’s a dementia patient. He calls his Facebook “the computers”.
Nothing will happen
No laws apply to him now.
None ever have.
Only one solution.
Cool, doesn’t matter
Right, who’s going to hold a cabal of the richest men on Earth accountable?
“He knows those computers better than anybody. All those computers, those vote-counting computers, and we ended up winning Pennsylvania like in a landslide.”
Trump is so old he probably means human computers. They were still around when he was a young man. Right? He meant the people counting the votes, right? Heaven forbid he actually tried to monkey with the voting machines. Because that would be illegal, and totally unthinkable for someone with a stainless reputation like His Orangeness…
Don’t assume there’s anything meaningful behind what he says. His algorithm is mind-numbingly simple: say stupid shit. If it gets attention, double down.
That’s all there is. There is no thought and no feeling. He has no more inner life than a cockroach.
say stupid shit. If it gets attention, double down.
And that’s exactly how he gets away with all the stuff he does: people simply assume he’s talking crap, until they realize he wasn’t.
Trump should not be allowed to say anything remotely controversial without meeting fact-checking and extreme resistance at each and every step. Either that’ll teach him to be careful with what he says, or he’ll eventually get caught incriminating himself. If people let him say any old thing because of the sheer volume of bullshit coming out of his piehole, he’s gonna keep getting away with everything.
If anything, this is a distraction from something else.
The one thing I know in my heart and in my soul is these guys will fuck something up so badly that their own base will demand they be torn to shreds before these 4 years are up.
As he said, many years ago now, “I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn’t lose any voters, OK?”
These people do not care about rules, they do not care about law, they do not care what is good for them and those they care about. They care about owning the dems.
IDK man. Itallians eventually took care of Mussolini
The part of the country that didn’t like fascists hanged him after Allied troops landed in Italy and the country had a civil war
The fascists didn’t hang him. They didn’t change their minds about what happened.
People fucking shot them in the face for being fascists until there weren’t enough goons left to protect him.
And then a communist hanged him.
I don’t want you to be right, but I know you probably are.
This would be easier to deal with if I didn’t have to worry about my families fate too
The only recorded instance of which I can think of someone who was even slightly pro-fascism taking out a fascist is literally Hitler… he killed himself, but only because the Red Army was already inside Berlin and looking for him.
And they are also back in the government by the way. Financed by…drum roll…
Maybe if he actually imposes his stupid ass tariffs and collapses our dollar, people will wake up. Who knows.
The base will never turn against trump, never
Whatever Trump fucks up, they’ll just blame it on democrats
It had worked for the GOPers every time so far. So why not now?
How many of them will survive the next preventable pandemic?
Bird flu really feels like a thing we all need to be watching right now… just saying.
50% probably
As we’ve seen again and again, this is very unlikely.
It’s only day 1. I can’t wrap my head around 4 more years of this shit.
It didn’t help it’s already been 8 years of this shit. Even losing he never shut the fuck up. Ever.
I hope I live long enough to read his obituary
Honestly, I could see spontaneous celebrations breaking out when he passes.
Therefore it would be technically impossible to hack voting machines since the paper trail would not match up. Wishful thinking though."
Yeah if you ask for a recount. The one the DNC never bothered with.
Some people may think that, but from the video it is not clear. He just mentions Elon knows computers very well. There will be enough real news with president Trump, we don’t need this kind of journalism.
It sounds like standard demented Trump. Musk -> Technology -> Computers -> Voting Machines -> Hey, everybody remember, how I won the election?!
It would be like him to brag about it now that he can operate with impunity.
He just mentions Elon knows computers very well.
Which is proof it’s just more nonsense.
Pretty sure nothing can or will be done about it.
In this case, unfortunately, the past is indeed indicative of the future. Oh and by the way, fuck you Merrick Garland you useless quisling and coward.
Oh good. Because that matters.
good thing he’s, by law, above the law
Pennsylvania alone would not have flipped it.
312 to 226.
Flip Pennsylvania:
293 to 245.
Still 25 short of a win. PA+MI+WI were required and she blew all three, just like Clinton did.
