MuskyMelon'I can destroy the country': Trump's threat after Supreme Court strikes down his key policy
🇰 🌀 🇱 🇦 🇳 🇦 🇰 🇮 Yeah we know. You’ve been doing it since your first term, asshole.

wonderingwandererIt’s always projection with him…
Sassinake! ᑐ ∪ ∩ ⊂He’s still sore about the wooden tent spike up his ass.
dnub“I can destroy the trade. I can destroy the country,” Trump said.
“I’m allowed to impose a foreign destroying embargo, I can embargo, I can do anything I want, but I can’t charge $1.” In a bizarre explanation, Trump said he “was very modest in my ask of other countries”.
“I didn’t want to do anything that would affect the decision of the court,” he said.
“I wanted to be a good boy.”
“I didn’t want to hurt you, but you’ve left me no choice.” He thinks about everything like a violent, abusive rapist. Probably because he’s a violent, abusive rapist.
DiplomjodlerNo probably about it.
And the “checks and balances” are working flawlessly as ever.
As damaging as he is he is mostly concerned with enriching himself.
It’s the ghouls around him that have the actual follow through that do the most damage. Peter Navarro, Steven Miller etc are the ones who keep things moving while Trump naps in the corner shitting himself.
If Trump actually remembered he made this threat he could definitely be more active destroying American hegemony and quality of life.
Scotty_Treesblah blah blah fuck this dipshit, i’m wasting less of my time of this fuckwad this time around, but still fuck this fucking bag of shit.
CharlesDarwinCan? I kinda figured that’s what he’s here to do on behalf of Putin.
That’s what he was Putin to office for
Yeah but now he’ll do it cause they hurt his feelings.
He already is
I will say it again. Citizens accept the constitution, patriots support and defend the constitution, traitors violate or ignore the constitution.
RememberTheApollo_15 years ago such a statement would have been unthinkable. Look where we are now and how fast we’ve gotten there. The repubicans went apeshit over a tan suit, but this? They sit on their hands.
Lol, couple letters short there, my friend: “bourgeoisie” 😁
Too bougie of me.
NutWrenchState of Union speech is tomorrow night. Trump’s batshit insanity is going to be legendary.
I’ll wait for the executive summary.
If I am forced to watch him for an entire speech I’ll punch a hole through my TV screen.
I’m normally adverse to sound bites because 95% of the time more context helps their point, but I just can’t hearing this MF talk for more than a minute.
Even during the State of the Union under Obama I stopped watching them. Way too much hold for applause.
I’m glad I’m not the only one. I don’t have a bough blood pressure meds in the house to combat his stupidity
“So I said, ‘Let me ask you a question, and [the guy who makes boats in South Carolina] said, ‘Nobody ever asked this question,’ and it must be because of MIT, my relationship to MIT —very smart. He goes, I say, ‘What would happen if the boat sank from its weight? And you’re in the boat and you have this tremendously powerful battery and the battery is now underwater and there’s a shark that’s approximately 10 yards over there?’ By the way, a lot of shark attacks lately, do you notice that, a lot of sharks? I watched some guys justifying it today. ‘Well, they weren’t really that angry. They bit off the young lady’s leg because of the fact that they were, they were not hungry, but they misunderstood what who she was.’ These people are crazy. He said there’s no problem with sharks. ‘They just didn’t really understand a young woman swimming now.’ It really got decimated and other people do a lot of shark attacks. So I said, so there’s a shark 10 yards away from the boat, 10 yards or here, do I get electrocuted if the boat is sinking? Water goes over the battery, the boat is sinking. Do I stay on top of the boat and get electrocuted, or do I jump over by the shark and not get electrocuted? Because I will tell you, he didn’t know the answer. He said, ‘You know, nobody’s ever asked me that question.” I said, ‘I think it’s a good question.’ I think there’s a lot of electric current coming through that water. But you know what I’d do if there was a shark or you get electrocuted, I’ll take electrocution every single time. I’m not getting near the shark. So we’re going to end that.”
For anyone else coming here, thinking, “Please, please, let this incoherent brain fart be satire” - it isn’t
So what may have happened is that someone tried to tell him a riddle and he didn’t get it. The obvious answer is to throw the battery in the water to electrocute the shark (if it even works like that), but he didn’t think of that and took the question seriously. Whoever told him the riddle didn’t dare to call him stupid and explain that it’s just a riddle and the “good question” remained in his head somewhere. It has fascinated him since, like it would a six year old.
Then he met someone who had something to do with boats. The only thing that comes up in his brain is this stupid riddle that he couldn’t solve, so he asks the boat guy, who didn’t get it either. And because a random boat guy didn’t have an answer to this question that has fascinated him, he (Trump) is oh so smart, MIT smart. In the land of the blind, the one-eyed is king.
The only mildly impressive thing is that it probably took him a few minutes to spew all this nonsense, all the while remembering the point he was building up to (“me so smart”). I’m afraid he hasn’t mentally declined that much yet.
Oh god, this is going to be a national embarrassment.
You know, like all his other speeches, but even more…
A_AI dunno guys, that kinda sounds like treason…
DarkFutureMost prolific traitor in the history of the United States of America.
Yeah we know. You’re quite good at it.
no authoritarian has ever been removed by an election…
I think I might make this my next protest sign
It will be even funnier if the sign says “no fascist have ever been removed by a protest”
Not sure if people might take it the wrong way, it might be a bit too based.
guynamedzeroProtests show the people who are afraid that they’re not alone. Protests show the people in power that there is a real threat. They may be peaceful now, but if things continue they may no longer have peaceful protests.
For anyone wondering, the three “justices” who sided with trump were Kavanaugh, Thomas, and Alito.
No surprises there. If anything, Roberts, Gorsuch, and Barrett ruling against him is the surprise. It’s a win for constitutional rule of law.
They’re concerned about the precedent set if they allow taxation to be included as part of regulatory powers. If they allowed this, then precedent is set for the next Dem president to come in and just start taxing companies that don’t align with their policy goals. So something like taxing carbon emissions no longer needs Congressional approval.
True. Also, giving tax powers to a “unitary executive” is literally taxation without representation.
There’s a reason it’s in the purview of congress.
CorkyskogAre they though? They are do everything in their power to avoid ruling on what an “emergency is”. The only reason they ruled this day is because the law he used pretty obviously is not meant to include tariffs in “regulation”. The Supreme Court says in both the ruling and dissent that there is nothing from stopping him from just using a different law.
I think Barrett is a fucking slug, but as far as I’ve observed she genuinely wants to side on the side of the country. She’s just a woman surrounded by men appointed by a fucking narcissistic fascist, so sometimes voting is needed for her survival? Maybe?
I agree for the most part with what you’re saying. I disagree with her politics, but she usually doesn’t let her personal ideology, religion, or political affiliations get in the way of doing her job as a supreme court justice where she’s supposed to be impartial in interpreting the law as it’s written. She’s not a sycophant like some of her colleagues
This isn’t the first time she’s sided with the constitution over the maga agenda. Her record isn’t spotless, but it’s not as irredeemably tainted as some of the others.
I think what you said is a much better way of saying what I wanted to. Thanks.
I can destroy am destroying the country. FIFY

AnUnusualRelicWhat, again?
Come on high cholesterol!
Early hoping those people theorizing he had 2-4 months left were right.
