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

I doubt it will change much, the rest of the party is still in tact. They'll just move Vance to to king dipshit and continue as they were.

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

You're only wishing the aliens would come take over.

Anal probing would be a welcome change of pace.

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.

Why is my soup so cold? Blame the democrats!

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 3 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] UltraBlack@lemmy.world 1 points 51 minutes ago

Google remove paywall

Hatch act, it is in fact illegal.

[–] BanMe@lemmy.world 19 points 10 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.

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 3 points 9 hours ago
[–] andros_rex@lemmy.world 8 points 9 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 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 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 13 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 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago) (1 children)

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

[–] Infrapink@thebrainbin.org 3 points 4 hours ago

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