In another round of late-night social media posts, Donald Trump attacked the Supreme Court for not overturning his loss in the 2020 presidential election — and tried to pressure the court to rule his way in future election cases.

Flurries of angry social media posts are not unusual for Trump, but this one was particularly alarming for its scope and the criticism it directed against the nation’s highest court, where six out of nine justices are conservatives and three are Trump appointees.

[-] tomiant@piefed.social 7 points 2 months ago

Oh it's to help me! No further questions then.

[-] BremboTheFourth@piefed.ca 10 points 2 months ago

Honestly his being alive might be a net positive at this point. Republicans have now seen how far they can push the base. Once they get a slightly more competent psychopath in place we'll be five shades more fucked than we are already

Anybody who's ever had to deal with someone with fronto-temporal dementia knows the symptoms.

[-] joekar1990@lemmy.world 24 points 2 months ago

Can't wait for the Jake Tapper book to come out later on all this.

[-] ExtremeDullard@piefed.social 6 points 2 months ago

I really hope Jake Tapper isn't related to Trump. He's had enough tragedies in his life.

[-] lemmyng@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Considering the gobsmacking heel-turn Fake Plapper has done, it wouldn't surprise me in the slightest to learn he's related to Trump.

[-] tomiant@piefed.social 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I hate how much he reminds me of my late dad. Except my dad was well read and smart. Ah shit that's not fair. My dad was generally well intentioned. But the narcissistic bullying and emotional volatility and the blaming and the gaslighting tho...

[-] lemmyng@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Was your late dad my late dad?

[-] tomiant@piefed.social 2 points 2 months ago

It really is a "type" isn't it? I could talk about it for a very long time. Sorry we had the same dad. Ah shit that's unfair again. He was a great dad in many respects, nowhere near Trump levels, but the behaviors man... Eerie sometimes.

[-] SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world 41 points 2 months ago

If they overturned the 2020 election would that make his current term illegal?

[-] mcv@lemmy.zip 36 points 2 months ago

I think January 6 makes his current term illegal.

[-] Rakonat@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago

His knowing collusion with Russian agents makes his first term illegal.

[-] tomiant@piefed.social 9 points 2 months ago

His 34 felonies makes it illegal.

[-] SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world 9 points 2 months ago

You'd think but Americans took a poll two years ago and they decided it didn't really matter much to them.

[-] BillCheddar@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

There is literally no mechanism by which that happens.

Practically speaking, the next President has to go through and undo all of this asshole's changes on paper, by signing new EOs and (in some cases) asking Congress for a law to sign. Most of it is administrative, so easy to undo without Congress.

We can't do anything about anyone he pardoned. They stay pardoned. Can't get around that, Constitutionally.

[-] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

The fun thing about his pardonees is their general tendency to commit more crimes.

[-] ShellMonkey@piefed.socdojo.com 41 points 2 months ago

There has to be some point where the congress critters decide this guy is just too unhinged to be in power, right?

[-] ryokimball@infosec.pub 77 points 2 months ago

The fact that this line appears not to be crossed already is the single most damaging aspect for the US

[-] AFKBRBChocolate@lemmy.ca 10 points 2 months ago

Exactly. Can you imagine getting in the Obama tan suit days and having an administration try 1/100th of the crap this one is doing? It's amazing how trump has normalized high treason and rampant corruption.

[-] errer@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

The line was absolutely crossed a few months into his first term.

In other words, "Principled Conservatives".

Traitors gonna treason.

[-] frustrated_phagocytosis@fedia.io 4 points 2 months ago

Literally no, he could start dragging congress people out and shooting them dead in public and the GOP would cover him for it. Say it's too soon to discuss between rounds. Especially if he leaves the GOP for last, at which point the dead are declared RINOs and ignored.

He is a putrid, lice-ridden tuft of anal pubic hair that’s been transplanted atop a grimy, tattered Egyptian mummy, that’s oft mistaken for a dried-up 6 foot tall, spray-tan colored toilet brush.

If there were any justice, Donny, you'd get impeached in November and put up against a wall with your entire family on Christmas Day.

It's always projection with this tiny dick chucklefuck pedo. He's trying to sow some chaos so he can call on them to come in clutch when he pulls fuckery during the midterms and take a "you owe me one" approach.

[-] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 15 points 2 months ago

A child trapped inside an adult's body.

No wonder conservatives identify with him.

[-] AFKBRBChocolate@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 months ago

Pretty sure it was Trump's body that was inside the child.

[-] tomiant@piefed.social 8 points 2 months ago

Someone said it would be nice to be able to filter news for things Trump actually did than what he's said.

[-] Soggy@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Unfortunately his words have an impact.

[-] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 months ago

Major aside, but every time I Wikipedia information about the justices, I’m struck by how young some of them look, despite being in their 70s. Wikipedia just uses 20+ year old photos, which I also rediscover every time.

[-] MrSulu@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 months ago

Toys thrown from pram again. Whaaaa Whaaaa Whaaaa. (Please bail me out, it's all I know, so not my fault....)

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

PEDOnald will just never, ever get over being a gigantic loser. He'll go to his grave still pissing and moaning about the "stolen" election, the poor little snowflake.

[-] meathorse@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Trump: why won't supreme court do something about this injustice

Also Trump: supreme court? You have no power here... I do what I want!

[-] SayJess@piefed.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 months ago

Whateva, I do what I want!
