That professor is now front runner to be Trump’s next Supreme Court nominee.

Are you sure that's not being mistaken for Project 2025?

Judge “A president is not a king”

Clarence Thomas “I dissent”

“The Founding Fathers, who risked execution after rebelling against the mentally-addled son of inherited privilege, clearly intend to vest god-like powers in Donald Trump.”

More power than George III himself actually had, for that matter.

Isn’t it the Feralst Society now because they removed all the DEI

Frals Socy, because like Stonewall they removed “t” as well.

In email obtained by TPM, White House claims that Trump can appoint whoever he wants – absent Congress.

Can kings co-exist with democracy? X user @RedCoatLover1775 seems to think so.

Republicans: actually kings are cool and democracy is woke.

Bringing back monarchy to own the libs.

algoresmilkymams.bsky.social•1 day ago

that's what spain did after franco.

johngoodman.bsky.social•1 day ago

well the monarchy didn't go away under Franco though

But I was told we're a Republic

2plus2equals.bsky.social•1 day ago

The Constitution guarantees to the states a Republican form of government.

Republican, not republic. Some etymological relationship in the terms but different meanings.

bigstape.bsky.social•1 day ago

I'll have to read it again

2plus2equals.bsky.social•1 day ago

Article IV, section 4.

bigstape.bsky.social•1 day ago

I was referring to this nonsense

Ugh 🙄
I hate those people, you can just tell they have a nasally voice and smarmy face

2plus2equals.bsky.social•1 day ago

Definitely sounds like a Republican, not a republic.

rproctor721.bsky.social•1 day ago

Fuuuuck. For a second, I forgot which account this was. Sometimes satire is too good

There actually is an argument that the American colonies didn't have a problem with the concept of a king, just King George III in particular.

OPINION | While the Constitution contains an explicit prohibition against a "Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust" from accepting a "Title" from "any King, Prince, or foreign State," it does not contain an explicit prohibition against the President bestowing a Title to himself.
-- J. Turley

Nowhere in the Constitution does it specifically say Donald Trump can not become King.
