The day this pedo king strokes out will become a national holiday

[–] Dorkyd68@lemmy.world 8 points 4 hours ago

Pedo king is fitting.

Trump the King of the pedophilia, protector of corruption, leader of the racist white army.

I'm addition to everyone else here's much more pressing political concerns, this is terrible for computer security. It encourages users to install third-party programs onto government machines.

Mossad should release autoreply_writer.exe

I'd be more concerned about the programs the government is installing onto the machines

Why is my soup so cold? Blame the democrats!

This is what happens when the people exposed to the highest levels of lead are give access to all the hate they can eat and free-reign to use that lowered cognitive function in positions of power.

Dare I say Trump is the next Hitler

You cannot fucking tell me that he does shit like this and nobody gives a damn. This has to be illegal

[–] smeenz@lemmy.nz 1 points 1 hour ago

Does anyone have the article or at least what the wording was changed to ? Blocked by paywall for me

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 51 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

Hatch act, it is in fact illegal.

[–] BanMe@lemmy.world 18 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

He basically shredded the Hatch act his first term, there were no consequences, of course he's just gonna flat out ignore it this time.

[–] andros_rex@lemmy.world 8 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Forcing those military generals to sit through a campaign speech showed that the Hatch Act is basically dead.

I think we're way past what's legal or not in this shithole. His whole point from the beginning was that he could shoot someone and nothing would happen and americans were like: wow. I like guns too.

[–] aeternum@lemmy.blahaj.zone 48 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago) (1 children)

it may well be illegal, but when has that stopped the 34 time felon rapist in chief?

[–] lukaro@lemmy.zip 24 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

34 times convicted felon, who knows how many more he's committed without being convicted.

[–] aeternum@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago) (1 children)

i mean, technically you're not a felon until you're convicted of a felony.

[–] Infrapink@thebrainbin.org 1 points 2 hours ago

Trump was convicted of those 34 felonies, he just wasn't punished for them.

Someone was tasked with this. Find them and linch them. They made a political choice, hang them on it.

Keep records. The really dumb thing is this will be public record. This will come up post Trump. There is an IT worker who should have got a really good payout cause they are never going to be employed again.

Dare I say it was BigBalls?

[–] Wilco@lemmy.zip 31 points 14 hours ago

So fucking dystopian. People need to go to prison for this.
