Summary

Donald Trump sparked backlash after quoting Napoleon on social media: “He who saves his Country does not violate any Law.”

Critics saw this as a justification for authoritarianism, comparing it to fascist rhetoric. Some mocked Trump’s legal troubles, while others suggested it signaled dictatorial ambitions.

His administration’s recent executive orders and efforts to bypass congressional approval have already raised legal concerns.

JD Vance’s claim that judges “aren’t allowed to control” the executive has further fueled fears of a constitutional crisis.

          i’m fine with that. but we’re keeping the limited number of guns idea. and they’re both going to take different ammo so the oligarchs form up into meaningless groups based on arbitrary distinctions. see how they like it

          Let’s aim for the stars. We’ll miss the starts however they can all enjoy the richness of the vast void before succumbing to petty reasons.
