It quite literally is, america loves to pretend its some glorious revolutionary republic, then the doj puts out a memo saying the president is a king actually https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sovereign_immunity
Since when is being the author of a blog mean you're a vetted authority on anything? What a despicable article this is. Al Gore should have hired better people.
He is a *con man*. Every single time the evidence against Trump was presented to a jury of his peers they have found him guilty and liable. That’s why he always tries to settle before going to trial. And that’s why he was desperate to delay all legal proceedings against him until after the election.
In 19 years of Montessori elementary school teaching, I took on a kind of boosterism for our civic heritage, saying, “No one is above the law,” “We are a nation of laws,” and tripe about the “peaceful transfer of power.” TikTok now gives kids a truer picture than I gave them.
We are you able to get the data specialist material into the right hands (Harris)? I know how hard we (get out the vote workers worked) and many have a hard time accepting the other side didn’t pull something.
So I know that there are a whole host if actual reasons to hate the state if the world but honestly the thing where Donald Trump - a stupid, incurious, insecure, and pathetic man - is constantly being elevated to some godhood status by fucking assholes is just…so unbelievably frustrating.
He's a lucky schmuck who failed upwards in a system designed for privileged lucky schmucks to fail upwards.
Nothing more.
And our people are so blinded by selfishness and stupidity that they believed he was their savior from eggs being slightly higher than five smegging years ago.
"A central pillar of American democracy is that no man is above the law. But Mr. Trump isn’t an ordinary man."
Kind of remarkable to put these two sentences back to back and not acknowledge they're exact opposites. A real-life "All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others."
"A central pillar of American democracy is that no man is above the law." But hey, what would happen if we just yoinked that pillar out because a lot of people like this one guy?
Section 9: “No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States…” Section 9 1/2: “…except such designations of extraordinary status as are necessary to the execution of the Will of the People through the appointment of the President.”
#sad and Trump got off free basically. He shouldn't be above the law, he doesn't even pay his #rallies and gets away with it. Wish #Harris would fight for #recounts
Fcuk the @nytimes.com
They’re afraid of the 🍊💩🤡 & his crime syndicate coming after them.
Guess what - they’re coming after you any.
Unless you turn yourselves into the Reich State media.
I mean, he’s not ordinary in that he’s objectively much worse than the average person. He’s “no ordinary man” in the sense that Jeffrey Dahmer is “no ordinary man.” True, but not in the way their defenders imagine
The event that triggered him and motivated his run for the presidency was Obama’s humiliation of him at the White House Correspondents Dinner. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHckZCxdRkA
This myth needs to die. He was going to run no matter what Obama did or didn’t do. He had attempted to run before and he was clearly forming something by getting himself involved with “birther” conspiracy nonsense and the Tea Party.
No. He's not. He's monumental—in his arrogance, stupidity, vice, immortality, record of dismal failures at everything he's ever tried (read "Lucky Loser" for a full account), greed, racism, misogyny. Nothing ordinary about him - except that we are all supposed to be equal before the law.
Also, if one is arguing that “the popular vote in a misinformation-driven election is the final ruling on treason,” then the fact that Trump didn’t win a majority of the vote is, technically, a guilty verdict.
If you’re creating a stupid set of rules then at least play by them!
I respectfully disagree. It’s akin desegregating pools in the deep south. Equality can be reached in one of two ways, let everybody in or kick everybody out. “Trump is no ordinary man” is unqualified, it opens floor for debate that he’s less than an ordinary man, which seems accurate.
If you prick him, does he not bleed? If you tickle him, does he not laugh? If you kick him really, really hard in the balls, does he not crumple in blinding pain?
I mean, if the NYT thinks we need to test him, I volunteer.
Right. But I sure would like to know why their priest-class, who has been pounding that drum for 65 years that I am personally familiar with, are too stupid to recognize it. These clowns are out there hyping 45 like they’ve got no freaking idea.
I truly don’t think they’re too stupid to realize it. I think they don’t actually believe what they peddle, they just use it for control because “christians” are super easy to manipulate.
They recognize it, they support it, they profit off it.
My aunt’s minister breathes absolute fire on the subject. And he’s got his ladies’ weekly Bible study group ENTHRALLED. Hairy eyeballed me & my mask during worst of Covid at my uncle’s funeral. They actually KNEW they had active COVID & didn’t mask.
If we catch John Doe and he turns out to be the devil, I mean if he’s Satan himself, Then maybe he would live up to our expectations. But he’s not the devil. He’s just a man
If by some miracle the bullshit conflict of interest charge against Fani Willis goes away, she should absolutely try the bastard's ass, and show that the rule of law still exists somewhere in America. At the least, all his fascist minions should be tried for the charges they have been indicted for.
You mean it’s good to take money, power and prestige and run over little people? People are asking for their own imprisonment and slavery. This is beyond racism.
He’s really not. No ordinary man is as horrible as he is. He is one of the worst human beings who has ever lived, and quite possibly the most petty in human history.
Like I know this is getting less popular but I preferred when the not-yet-fulfilled goal was to be a nation dedicated to the proposition that all people are created equal.
You could easily argue that the entire basis of this country as a unique institution when it was founded was the concept that the President was, in the eyes of the law, an ordinary man.
Corollary rule: anyone who loses an election goes straight to prison. Hell, go full fucking Purge with it. If you're going to argue for this kind of mickey mouse lawless anarcho-monarchist bullshit why half ass it

Fuck him.

I see this as a really bad sign.
I was tabling for my city council candidate outside a UC on Election Day, and the basic questions I got about city government were disheartening.
Most men aren't unbearable pieces of shit.
The real power is in the global Oligarchs who control tech, energy, finance, pharma, media, and agriculture.
They found the perfect grifter con man.
A "celebrity apprentice" if you will...

I find it funny that they don’t want the law to apply to them so in that case laws don’t protect them either and we can do anything to them

My thoughts exactly.

Never a good idea

Which is why John Roberts' elevation of Trump to King is so fucking un-American.
Thank you for your work Sir.

a fucking freak & that comparison is an insult to the fabulously ordinary men I know
It’ll be a long time before I settle down and think “this is fine”.
Fuuuuuuuuuuck this
That's the whole point!
We are all ordinary!!!
(I mean in a monarchy, the King is not ordinary, but in a democracy, everybody is.)
