trump just about is king in all but name:
He stands above the law.
Holds his court with his chosen sycophants.
Writes edicts and decrees for those below him to live by.
Hands out pardons only to those who please him.
Takes "gifts" and makes them his personal property.
Claims his status to be divine and scolds religious leaders.
Demands to have a ballroom, and most likely wants another palace after that.
Erects monuments and renames buildings in his name.
Is normalizing that he does not have to leave his position.

So, yeah, when will he just claim the title of King to get it solidified?

    That's why I appreciated the renaming of Department of War. It's pretty much the only honest thing this admin has ever said. When's the last time the US "defended" something?

    Trump doesn’t lie about what he wants to do. Wants to call it the Department of War because that’s what he wants to do. He absolutely wants to: bomb the shit out of Iran, cancel elections, deport citizens/cancel citizenship, etc.

    However, he always lies about his accomplishments. He hasn’t won any wars. He isn’t negotiating great deals with Iran. He isn’t keeping gas prices low. He hasn’t made a great economy. Etc.

    Shouldn't the "republicans" and the 2A be having something to say about that? Or are they busy wiping gravy away with their novelty DOI napkins?

    I'm sure the French regret the Statue of Liberty every day.

    The 2A worshippers think, "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed" means precisely, "Ain't nobody taking my guns" and no more. The orange shitstain's regular attacks on the Constitution aren't their problem, so long as they can use 1A to say they hate (n-word), and 'keep' their guns, rocket launchers, grenades, whatever.

    Kings have one appropriate role in civilized society and it is to be guillotined.

    TDS indeed, trump devotion syndrome. Makes zero fucking sense the allure these few morons have for this fat dumb pedophile piece of shit.

    It actually makes a lot of sense if you consider that the Nationalist Christians are a very core support demographic of the regime. Dogmatic adherence to absolute nonsense and radical prejudice is kind of their bread and butter.

    What are you talking about? It makes perfect sense. The wheels of every corporation haven't been this greased since Nixon. Trump is absolutely glazing the oil, technology, and his own industries. Everyone is in bed together, they make all the money, and we all lose.

    What good is money if they destroy Earth with their idiotic deregulations and everyone dies? Is it just achievement clout and nothing more?

    There really is no purpose to one individual having so much wealth that they literally could not spend it all no matter how hard they'd try in their or their next 5 generations lifetimes. Ridiculous.

    Some of these assholes could theoretically spend a few million a day for decades and never lose principal balance, would even net positive.

    Do people think this will work? The white house is a small building. The military is run from the pentagon

    Seems like the military has already followed illegal orders (e.g. bombing the Venezuelan boats) . Don't think they're really interested in following the law.

    While there are certainly some scum in military to follow the oligarchies wishes- I would like to think there's at least a handful of good souls that will make the right call when the time comes. We'll see, the general populace should have already revolted but as long as we can watch our insta chat reels we'll never rise up so maybe not

    The pedopublicans don't leave unless it's bleeding out like a shot cartoon character.

    Whoever wins will be overturned in their favor, if a Democrat wasn't mutually agreed upon to start with.

    It isn't bad enough for people to rise up by design.

    And by the time it is, you won't be able to also, by design.

    The Republicans need to look up the basic definition of what republicanism actually is.

    Tip: it is not being in favour of a monarch, i.e. a king

    Just in case anyone was still confused as to whether or not Republicans are fascists.

    Midterms are coming up,

    And instead of working out why 1/2 of their country hates them, the admin is actively mocking/pissing people off?

    Bold strategy.

    It is like they want to lose, and go back to their crying/fake/stolen/rigged talk again.

    I really hope it ends up mattering but apathy between the two parties is extreme and I'm worried about voter turnout
