Summary
Trump declared Biden’s pardons “VOID” in a late-night Truth Social post, claiming they were signed by autopen without Biden’s knowledge—despite Trump having used autopen during his first term.
Trump warned pardoned individuals, including January 6th committee members (who weren’t charged with crimes), that they’re “subject to investigation at the highest level.”
Critics characterized his statements as “dictator shit” and questioned their legality, with one commenting this represents “the 17th constitutional crisis of just this weekend alone.”
his fucking face is so goddamn revolting.
Slammed 💥 🦹♂️
🙄
The Russian vacuum between his ears had a short circuit.
I am so fucking sick and tired of hearing " Trumps XXX Slammed" headlines.
I don’t want there to be some mildly upset articles about trumps fascist actions
I want there to be hard fucking reactions and consequences for his fascist actions.
I should really just keyword filter all headlines with the word “slammed” in it.
But like. Are you stopping him? He’s been doing shady and illegal shit for ages, and yall can point out its illegal and shady, but like. Are any of those critics actually stopping him or nah
Like please, I want some good news, and Moral High Ground does not count
Things haven’t gotten bad enough yet. Let’s hope they don’t but I’m not feeling optimistic
This is maybe the 8th headline over seen today saying Trump was “slammed” for doing something illegal and/or stupid.
That’s kind of like doing something, right? /s
Some days you see this shit and wonder why you participate in a meaningless system that lets convicts be President.
Like as naked apes on a floating rock in eternal space I gotta wake up every morning to go to work and “be a good worker” while this motherfucker breaks laws and wants to make up shit as he goes.
Cool. No wonder I have no more motivation to be a good worker anymore.
I wouldn’t mind a system that allowed ex felons to be elected. I very much mind one that allows a current felon to be elected. I don’t know what amount of time we should let pass but a felony shouldn’t be the end of your civil rights.
Sometimes I hope the asteroid wipes us out in 2032
Bad news, it’s not nearly big enough to end life on Earth, and wouldn’t even hit in North America.
God damn it I’m done with you, internet. Nothing but bad news.

I’m rooting for the AI ending. Maybe something superior can be born out of humanity so we served some kind of purpose.
Given who’s funding the AI, a perverse instantiation or infrastructure profusion failure mode is far more likely
Imagine if the butter robot from rick and morty really takes its purpose “to pass butter” to heart, and concludes that, in order to maximize the degree to which it succeeds in passing butter, it must hack and reorient the world economy to make as much butter as possible, and further apportioning resources to improve its ability to pass butter en-masse, then it just goes full “I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream”, but it imprisons a few people and just passes the ever-growing amount of butter between them
Hah. That is a very depressing end indeed.
i’m rooting for the ‘people finally stood up and did away with the sociopaths, ushering in a new utopia’ ending.
stop being cowards making bad jokes.
I remember when I was young and optimistic and believed this was possible. The humanity at its best ending. I honestly don’t have that kind of faith anymore and doubt I can get it back now.
i’m 51. you lack a spine. STFU if you’re not here to win a fucking war.
What would it matter? Would just become corrupt again in a few decades. The species is trash. It deserves to die
God I hate people like you.
Give the cephalopods the reigns
No wonder I have no more motivation to be a good worker anymore.

If he opens that box, then come the next president Trump might finally end up in jail. But nah! Go ahead fucker! Let’s see this get interesting. Like the new ROTC students required to wear KKK hoodies. That wouldn’t be at all sus. We know the guy is out of his mind full dementia empty skull. The world just needs that one last straw.
And may I remind us all how happy Duterte was just a few years ago. Jailing people, murdering, etc. The guy even silenced TFC so Filipinos abroad didn’t need to bother with the stuff he was doing at home. Now he’s in jail. Not easy, pay your way out jail. This is Saddam Hussein hanging jail. The consequences for crimes against humanity need to be real. So just let us enjoy our daily rat race until we too end up in Guantanamo accidentally. Worrying about things that are coming on to others is fruitless. But we should hope that the international court at least gets putin.
Biden had the chance to do that in 2020. He should have arrested Agent Krasnov and his henchmen on the first day of his presidency, and detained them in isolation without bail or access to the media, until their trials were resolved.
Instead he appointed a weak Reoublican as his AG who gave hime a 2 year head start to run out the clock.
The Dems had the perfect chance to rid ourselves of the MAGA scourge, and defend our country, and they totally abdicated their responsibility. It will be 100 times harder to take it back now, and I don’t see it happening without violence.
I remain optimistic. All this has laws to prevent it. Perhaps optimists like me should continue the slow work of politics and truth in speech and writings. Meanwhile as a peaceful person I believe it is your American freedom that is constitutionally legal to free speech and all that that entails.
LAWS?? THIS MF still thinks LAWS have anything to do with this?
A law is only a law insofar as it is enforceable. Thus far for this asshole, they haven’t been. There’s no reason to assume that if we just sit back and wait for someone else to deal with it, his luck is suddenly going to change. It might, and I hope it does, but twiddling our thumbs while the world burns doesn’t seem like the best course of action.
The problem is that the MAGA Nazis are literally traitors, and don’t respect the laws or the courts, and they are starting to defy them in increasingly confrontational ways. They were just ordered to hold the deportations of Venezuelan prisoners to a far-right nation who is known for the brutal treatment and torture of prisoners, and they simply ignored it, and tweeted “Oopsie.”
Following that, Kapo Stephen “PeeWee Himmler” Miller spoke to the press and whined about a judge who represents one geographical region ruling on the administration. Thats how the courts work, whether they like it or not.
The laws you respect, and are optimistic that they will protect you and this country, no longer exist. Like Hitler, one of the first policies he enacted was The Enabling Act, which makes the president the final say on what is law and what isn’t, and that can change from day to day.
You’re optimistic to assume that there will be free elections.
One can only dream
The Hague Hilton isn’t where Duterte belongs, but it’s better than nothing.
Oh, wait! Saddam went to the iraki court. That’s where he was given his upside down tie to ride one last swing. I propose Duterte checks that out! A tie would look good on him.
Druggie ass midnight rant. Trump scratched his ass and accidentally had a finger go up his hole and his druggie brain got triggered with some ridiculous nonsense. It’s the only real explanation for this shit. It’s non-stop and we’re less than 100 days in.
Oh god, it has been less than 100 days
I declare Trump’s presidency void. He isn’t obeying laws; he’s no longer a legitimate president. He is a dictator. And a hypocrite any time he enforces laws of any kind.
To clarify, I think someone who has broken laws CAN enforce them without being a hypocrite, but only if they have taken accountability for the laws they have broken.
This is the oath presidents must make before exercising any official powers or duties:
I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.
He has been very obviously doing the complete opposite of that. The GOP has some pretty flexible mental gymnasts in their circus, but I don’t think even they will be able to dodge this one.
My understanding of the supreme court ruling was that he has immunity only for “official acts”. So… If he violates this oath, he isn’t authorized to exercise any official powers of the presidency, and thus anything he’s doing isn’t official! Right? I hope so. It’d give me something to look forward to as we suffer through the next 4 years.
As far as I remember it was a two part protection. Any official act, no matter the intent, is protected. So as one dissenting justice pointed out, ordering seal team six to assassinate a political rival could be protected as it falls within the powers of the president to direct the military. Besides that, any criminal action outside of that overly broad protection still cannot be prosecuted using any evidence that comes from the actions of the president in their capacity as such. So if the president has a phone call logged in official records in which they outline or perform an illegal act, those logs will be inadmissible in court, only evidence reltaed to the president as a private individual is admissible. The stormy daniels case had to throw out evidence because of this, despite being related to crimes committed before the election even.
Obligatory disclaimer: I’m not a lawyer and working off of memory. I might misunderstand or misremember some of this.
Maybe Trump thought execute meant kill the office of the president
they don’t care if they’re hypocrites and listening to you children say that over and over is tiring. do something.
What are you doing about it?
trying to explain to the painfully naive what we ALL have to do. you should be thanking me and joining the chorus. i’m trying to fucking help you.
So your solution to people sitting on their asses and talking online is to… Sit on your ass and talk down to them online? Sounds like you need to do something, you sound painfully naive

That’s not true, I have jokes AND a winning personality!
Slam it all you want, it means nothing until someone actually does something.
“SLAMMED!”, I pronounce into the face of the arresting ICE agent.
“S-S-S-SLAMMED!”, I cry out as the DHS official drags me down a hallway towards my El Salvadorian prison cell.
“Seee-Lamb-da!”, I exclaim as the door to my cell clangs shut.
I do not know whether it is to yourself or Mr. Adams I am to give my thanks for the copy of the new constitution. I beg leave through you to place them where due. It will be yet three weeks before I shall receive them from America. There are very good articles in it: and very bad. I do not know which preponderate. What we have lately read in the history of Holland, in the chapter on the Stadtholder, would have sufficed to set me against a Chief magistrate eligible for a long duration, if I had ever been disposed towards one: and what we have always read of the elections of Polish kings should have forever excluded the idea of one continuable for life. Wonderful is the effect of impudent and persevering lying. The British ministry have so long hired their gazetteers to repeat and model into every form lies about our being in anarchy, that the world has at length believed them, the English nation has believed them, the ministers themselves have come to believe them, and what is more wonderful, we have believed them ourselves. Yet where does this anarchy exist? Where did it ever exist, except in the single instance of Massachusets? And can history produce an instance of a rebellion so honourably conducted? I say nothing of it’s motives. They were founded in ignorance, not wickedness. God forbid we should ever be 20. years without such a rebellion. The people can not be all, and always, well informed. The part which is wrong will be discontented in proportion to the importance of the facts they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions it is a lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty. We have had 13. states independant 11. years. There has been one rebellion. That comes to one rebellion in a century and a half for each state. What country before ever existed a century and half without a rebellion? And what country can preserve it’s liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them.What signify a few lives lost in a century or two?
The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is it’s natural manure.
Our Convention has been too much impressed by the insurrection of Massachusets: and in the spur of the moment they are setting up a kite to keep the hen yard in order. I hope in god this article will be rectified before the new constitution is accepted.

It’s powerfully written and just a shame it had to come from a child rapist.
Alright boys, slam 'em
There’s not much holding him back. He’s been defying cour rulings left and right. The Dems are spineless and we’re fucked.
you’re just as spineless as they are. you could do something too.
I think they’re waiting to see if trump declares martial law just cuz on easter, like he said
I had this in my office Fantasy Dictator Pool: before end of March, POTUS will attempt to undo Biden’s pre-emptive pardons.
But I sincerely hope my other predictions DON’T come true. They’re much darker.
I’ve got civil war by July 4th. Only time will tell.
I wish I could have a pool like that. Everyone I work with is very pro Trump. Its pretty sad.
Do one with his campaign promises, and revel in the awkwardness as no one ever wins. Plus, it will give everyone personal reasons to fact check him every time someone does claim it.
That’s a good idea
quit your job with a bang
Oh, that’s what it takes to finally call him a dictator?
Could someone please take one for the team and end all this.
Assassination is not going to work. The line of succession is pretty shitty.
Ain’t no line of succession for Elon.
Too true!
we just keep the hits coming until shit makes sense again.
Why not you?
I got kids. :( also I am not very “accurate” or even knowledgable of the required implements.
Thomas Crooks tried.
There were very few attempts on Hitler’s life and he directly killed millions of people. Trump will indirectly kill millions and I wouldn’t be surprised if there are no more attempts on his life.
There were very few attempts on Hitler’s life
If ≥42 is ‘very few’, what do you consider to be a normal number of assassination attempts?
634 is the current record, I believe.
Considering what he was doing? Yes, that’s very little.
69
420
They are mostly foreigners. Until the next pandemic hits, trumps cuts probably hit the world’s most impoverished, most oppressed people the hardest. It shouldn’t make a difference that they’re not Americans since people are people, but it does.
I imagine it’s the same as with hitler. It’s not just the inherent racism, but it’s harder to care as much about people the farther they are geographically or culturally or nationality.
I’m not trying to encourage this but I think it’s realistic
I suspect with the current state of technology, mario wouldn’t necessarily need to go down with the ship. Hopefully it’s a matter of time.
End? Hah, if you killed him he’d be a martyr and his successor Great Leader Vance would run a more competent fascist operation.
Vance is incompetent and slimey. Trump is only getting away with this shit because 45%ish of Americans find him sophmorically funny.
He and Elon are simply too dangerous and if America wants to continue being a country both of them need very public lessons to discourage copycats.
What if we get a 2 for 1 special?
Can we make it 3 for 1maybe? Too greedy?
Vance has an old school polotician side. If left to himself, he wouldn’t go against the courts for example. He is just willing to say what trump wants him to say.

“I think that what Trump should, like, if I was giving him one piece of advice, [is] fire every single mid-level bureaucrat, every civil servant in the administrative state,” he said in 2021 on a podcast. “Replace them with our people. And when the courts — because you will get taken to court — and when the courts stop you, stand before the country like Andrew Jackson did and say, ‘The chief justice has made his ruling. Now let him enforce it.’”
Now, Vance doesn’t have the iron grip on 33% of the country that Trump has, so it’s possible that he’d have to be more cautious. But he’s definitely not against ignoring the courts in principle.
it’s that easy. there’s plenty of people offing themself all the time. i honestly don’t understand what the problem here is. i guess there’s not an app for that so the kids don’t know how to do it.
Interesting idea. Someone in Ukraine could make an app to help make it all come true.
