Please stop treating a clearly defined matter as an open question. It is newsworthy that Trump is saying he is “not joking” about defying the Constitution, but treating it as a possibility, turning it into a “debate,” only serves Trump’s interests. www.bbc.com/news/article... - ThreadSky

It's a distraction and completely irreverent to any of their current underway grifts.

"Can Trump disembowel his opponents on live television? Our experts say there might be a clever loophole to sidestep norms and get to guttin'"

brianjarvis.com•4 days ago

I know this is meant as a joke, but the Supreme Court ruled last year the president has criminal immunity for any action he seems to be required to perform the duties of office. If Trump declared disembowelling someone is required, he has criminal legal immunity to proceed.

And thus the circle of cocksuckery is complete. What an unimaginable dumb and dangerous political nightmare we bear witness to.

Trump's too lazy to disembowel anyone. He'll delegate that to Kristi Noem the dog killer.

Is Trump entitled to primae noctis? Our panel of constitutional experts say the founders weren’t so clear, but the movie, Braveheart might have the answers.

Hell no!!

It's BBC beating its both-sides approach to death. Rubbish journalism!

Yeah I’m afraid that’s how the media (even Auntie) got us into this mess in the first place - by being equivocal about lunacy. Unlikely they’ll stop anytime soon

Exactly

Truly there should be no debate! The Constitution rejects it and we are a Constitutional Republic! Him suggesting shows the entire plan of Republican traitors. Subvert the Constitution for power and greed! Destroy Republicans 2026!

Treat it seriously by calling him a fucking moron.

Legacy media is absolutely failing us on this issue.

Republicans accused FDR of aiming for dictatorship as he ran for a 3rd term when it was constitutional to do so.

lawrencegraham.bsky.social•4 days ago

FDR’s third term run was both Constitutional and legal at the time. It is neither now. The dictatorship accusation is far more deserved this time.

brianstorms.bsky.social•4 days ago

Goddamn it media, stop using Trump propaganda images in every goddamn article, so they're pumped out into social media like thousands of posters of the damn dictator on walls and buildings and street signs in totalitarian nations.

delilahpraete.bsky.social•4 days ago

TY!!!!!!!!! Yes!!!!!

No. Just tell him No.

You've seen Tribe's argument, I assume?

larryglickman.bsky.social•4 days ago

Yes. I thought Jamelle's response said all that needs to be said in response to it.

silkyweineck.bsky.social•4 days ago

Tribe sounded completely daft to me as well until a very bright lawyer friend said that the distinction between getting elected and serving he's making is probably correct textually and that it's just the kind of thing you could get a few SC votes with.

silkyweineck.bsky.social•4 days ago

needless to say, that wasn't an endorsement and the intent of the 22nd seems about as clear as you could possibly wish for

erlichmanr.bsky.social•4 days ago

With all due respect, it’s naive to think a career criminal with no regard for the law and Constitution will not continue to break the law and violate the Constitution.

The 14th Amendment, Sec 3 was a clearly defined matter and not an open question yet here we are.

vtcommons.bsky.social•4 days ago

Enough! There can be no third term. There is an entire amendment to the constitution prohibiting it. And if he were to try it, the blue states wouldn’t put him on the ballot anyway.

salbr29891.bsky.social•3 days ago

I agree. This becomes propaganda when they do this.
