This guy really thinks he’s never gonna die. I’ll be surprised if he survives this upcoming term, and not even from a Minecraft related cause, just poor health.
What is a “Minecraft related cause?”
Most based WKUK by far 😘👌
When you’re talking about actionable threats, I.E. real world violence, but want to appear only hypothetical, the meme is, “I’d kill X in Minecraft.”.
Creepers in the White House, it’s a known problem in the dark corners of the building. Half of what the secret service does in the morning is clear the building of creepers that spawned over night when no one was around to block hostile mob spawns.
They’ve had to rebuild the place over and over and over and you have no idea how hard it is to find enough lapis for the floor tiles. Hours of digging tunnels down to the bedrock…
Death by Ender Dragon.
A lot of dumb people thought they could talk about killing politicians on the Internet if they ended their message with “in Minecraft” so they could claim they were just taking about a game. At least one of them has already been arrested proving their plan doesn’t actually provide any defense.
So a Minecraft cause would be someone plotting (and then presumably actually) killing them.
Source?
Google it
I’m sorry, a ‘Minecraft related cause’?
You a fed or something?
He got the wrong ideas from all these god emporer memes back in the day.
Moneo! Bring another attorney general!
He’ll spend 50% of his time golfing, the other 50% fucking up the country
“He jokes all the time,” said Rep. Eli Crane, R-Ariz., who was in the room at the time. “I think it’s one of the problems with politics is you can’t even tell a joke without being excoriated.”
Definitely, that’s the problem in politics. Ffs.
“excoriated”
That’s certainly a $10 word for a Republican.
I think you should be able to DISTINGUISH it’s a joke. Also, as anyone who does politics will tell you, ANYTHING that comes out of your mouth into any form of microphone can and should be expected to be used against you, and should be expected to be believed.
“Joking” in politics should’ve died with Reagan’s press sec laughing about gay men dying of AIDS.
Any time he says anything that gets significant negative pushback, it is dismissed as a joke.
Same thing with the rest of them. It’s always a joke unless you agree with them.
GOSH I was just JOKING, fucking WOKE CANCEL CULTURE won’t even let me make a JOKE anymore, people are so SENSITIVE these days…
REEEE WHY IS THERE A BROWN PERSON IN MY GAME shitshitshit tell me there’s a whitewashing mod for this, I’m having a panic attack… sees a playable female protagonist mod, instantly dies
Let’s hope the next 4 years are tough on the felon, he may not even make it to 2028 🤞🏼
I’m not convinced Vance or Johnson is any better than the orange baffoon .
They would be worse. A dumb Nazi is preferable to a smart Nazi.
Upside is the cult of personality is attached to Trump, and no one else has been able to pull it off him. Trump is only effective because somehow, for some insane reason, he, personally, has a lot of devoted followers.
The cult is attached to Trump, yes. But when he dies his followers won’t suddenly wake up from their madness and flock behind a “normal candidate”.
They will still go for the crazy ones who act and talk the way Trump did. There may not be a second Trump, but they are lost nevertheless.
But, hopefully, they won’t fall in line behind a single successor and instead splinter into a bunch of smaller, competing factions.
Yep. When a dictator dies, it doesn’t necessarily lead to democracy and prosperity because the system is broken, and the next person simply assumes the absolute power.
Will the MAGAs back Vance without Trump?
He doesn’t have “D” next to his name and has shown no indication of rationality, so yes.
Some will, some won’t. Cults of personality don’t tend to fare well without their personality, and Vance has all the charisma of a used tissue, so it’ll come down to how skillfully he can navigate things.
Remember, a LOT of right-wing Christians think Trump is either a prophet, an agent of God, or (in some cases) literally Christ Himself. That’s an awful hard act to follow when your prophet doesn’t get taken up to heaven in a fiery chariot, or your Messiah doesn’t rise again after 3 days.
I was talking about this with a friend not long ago and he floated the idea that Tucker Carlson could maybe replace Trump. He does have a fan following. The idea worried me.
I think some would likely float off to other charismatics like Flynn, RFK, Carlson, and various other grifters like Rogan. I can’t see the movement uniting behind another figure that I know of right now - Trump WAS the syncretic glue, and I don’t see anyone else being able to be all things to all men.
It they luck out the removal of the fda might lead to mass ergot poisoning then. Actually, fuck, a cynical government could absolutely just dose large chunks of the population with entheogens, the cia has pulled shit like that.
Will they get a choice of it all goes really really haywire? I mean their faces are gonna get eaten regardless.
That’s the question. Let’s say Trump makes himself dictator. Who’s going to inherit the title when Trump eventually dies from old age or from falling out of a Russian window?
Ivanka of course
It won’t matter
Yeah but they probably wouldn’t even get a second term lol
Beware what you wish for.
he may not even make it to 2028 🤞🏼
He got over 50% of the votes and over a third of the country didn’t even bother to vote at all. I’m full accelerationist at this point and hoping the country doesn’t make it to 2028.
Tech support: Have you tried turning it off and back on?
It’s amazing how often that is the correct way to fix things.
He won’t need to run. He already said he will be a dictator. Dictators don’t need elections.
This is what we get.
Revolution is the answer. Killing the rich.
In Minecraft?
We are in the bad timeline friend.
We’re in the stupid timeline.
The 22nd amendment to the US Constitution bars Trump as a viable candidate for the Office of the President. It would require an additional amendment to be possible and there’s no way that 3/4ths of all US states will agree to that shit.
The only potential loophole that I can discern is that there’s no clear consensus on if Trump would be allowed to run as Vice-President on someone else’s ticket. If he can, then, theoretically, he could run for VP and then have the elected President immediately resign, making him the President again.
…there’s no way that 3/4ths of all US states will agree to that shit.
We’ve had an extraordinary number of “there’s no way that…” moments in the past decade most of which have been connected to Trump, why tempt fate like that? The 2024 election map has more than the 38 red states needed to ratify a constitutional amendment.
Where are you getting your numbers from lol
A stretched the real numbers (33 states for Trump) for the sake of my joke.
Realistically, Maga passing a constitutional amendment repealing the 22nd (I think) that limits terms for Presidents is possible, but incredibly unlikely. It’s a lengthy process on purpose full of all sorts of ways to slow it down even further or derail it entirely. He has the political will and the power right now and for the next 2 years, but I’d bet if he’s able to pull off even some of his more spectacular plans, enough people would finally get it and he’d lose at least part of Congress, if not all of it.
So right at the end of the 12th amendment there’s this line.
But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States.
So as of his presidential win this election he’s ineligible to be vice president.
The Supreme Court will just “interpret” that away.
With as much as this Supreme Court is riding Trump’s dick I wouldn’t put it past them to rule in his favor if this made it to them.
The 22a says he can’t be elected. But that doesn’t make him ineligible to serve. The wording presents a loophole that our highly partisan Supreme Court could drive a truck through.
Could he then be nominated Speaker of the House, and then have the President and Vice-President resign?
I’m pretty sure no.
There’s a whole bunch of stuff in different parts of the constitution and us code that mention intelligibility in the line of succession. There might be a loop hole around this though I am no constitutional law expert
Not without Supreme Court fuckery. As it stands, he’d be eligible to serve as Speaker, but he’d be skipped in the line of succession if it were applicable.
Of course, trusting the Supreme Court to actually follow the rules seems naive at best these days.
Or he’s gonna wipe his ass with the Constitution in an X live stream and declare Jan 6 “National Patriots Day” while Fox commentators claim he’s joking.
The 22nd amendment to the US Constitution bars Trump as a viable candidate for the Office of the President. It would require an additional amendment to be possible and there’s no way that 3/4ths of all US states will agree to that shit.
I no longer believe the process and laws of our government will apply to this administration. We’ll see.
If they do it, it will be by suspending the constitution entirely. Don’t need any states for that.
The Putin Ploy
The 14th amendment didn’t stop him from running again, I fail to see what the 22nd amendment would do.
He absolutely could do that. The amendment specifically says elected to the office of the President, it does not prohibit attaining the office by any other means.
Would Trump even hold a candle to motherfucking Obama? 3rd candancy isn’t just for Trump…
He is 78.
So overturn or amend? Like I’m kinda surprised he’s even taking the constitution into consideration. Like he’s weird, he doesn’t seem to want to acknowledge that once he’s done all he says he wants to do the United States of America will no longer exist. Caesar could not cross the rubicon and rule the republic, he could only control Rome. Nor could Napoleon take full control of the French Republic. Republics are finicky things like that, a dictator can only ever hold their land, not the thing itself.
I don’t think his brain works like that.
I mean, we might as well just go all in. It seems like most everyone is running headlong into apocalypse anyway.
I just don’t have the capacity for this. Ugh.
Well, with having control of literally every aspect of the government they actually could change this country for the worse. However, it’s theoretically possible that some of them grow a spine.
More likely is they tie themselves into a giant king rat of greed.
I’m hoping trumps ego foils a lot of the project 2025 bs
Further, hope that like usual when the Republicans get in charge, they stop being unified and infighting ensues.
If you ask Trump, this IS his third term, so no, he’s not joking.
Fuck it, nothing matters anymore; they’ll do “something” and we’ll vote him in again
Who cares whether he’ll be 82 by then, age clearly wasn’t the issue this time
It’s going to be hard to campaign from a New York state jail cell for the next 4 years. The DOJ may have rules about a sitting president but he was neither when he committed the crimes he has already been convicted of in NY state court.
He will never go to jail, he will never suffer any consequences of his past and future actions. Unfortunately it is what it is.
In the veiled depths of cosmic night, beyond the grasp of mortal understanding, there lurks an abomination known as D’ohl-Nald’trump, Evader of Consequence, Weaver of Lies. Ancient as the first whispers of deceit, this blasphemous entity shambles through the mortal realm in garish splendor, clad in illusions spun of its own warped grandeur. Its voice, a booming incantation laced with half-truths and hollow promises, spills forth with the power to sway the minds of even the stout-hearted, plunging them into delirium where reason itself dissolves. Those who fall under its thrall are left in a fog of bewildered amnesia, helpless to recall its transgressions, let alone question its motives.
For D’ohl-Nald’trump wields a dreadful gift—an eldritch glamour that cloaks it in perpetual exoneration, a power so unnatural that no mortal cage may hold it, no law may bind it. Even those who glimpse its deceit find themselves ensnared in its web of forgetfulness, powerless to hold its ever-shifting form to account. And so, the Weaver of Lies drifts through aeons untouched, a nightmare that evades justice itself, as if consequence were but a faint myth of a distant, naïve cosmos.
Correct.
However, we can make sure his legacy remains as tarnished and full of disgust as Hitler and Mussolini’s. We owe it to the trump crime family to make them historical caricatures of pure evil.
Can’t wait for future generational edgelords to start shouting “Trump did nothing wrong”
