The US Constitution does not allow a president to do this.
The US Constitution does not allow a president to do this.
And yet???
Who’s gonna stop em?
The republicans in Congress will though.
ufa mano que bom que você avisou, resolvido então
I’m not sure that’s important anymore.
Why are you posting this to bluesky instead of taking congress to task??
He's a cuck bitch who harasses women.
lmao, ok corny
So now he's going after all the left-leaning leaders in the world, I guess? He's completely out of control now.
You should tell him that; I'm sure he'll stop once he knows.
Well, the republican congress allows it. So there’s that.
What's your point? /s
*squints* oh, it’s david corn again
Psst, David: Trump and his GOP thug sycophants, including the ones on the Supreme Court, don't give a flying feck about the US Constitution.
I think you must be mistaken. Surely that's MUCH too important a thing for Jesus to have left out of it...
He doesn't care, David
Who's going to tell him?
This is mafia level behavior on a nation state scale. He just doesn't care.
He adores what Putin does.
He has done everything he could to ingratiate himself with Putin besides jailing Zelensky (which he probably wants to do).
He's afraid of Putin but less so now that the SC made POTUS above the law.
Is the constitution in the room with us now? Doesn't seem like it's stopping anything.
I tell you why. mitch mcconnell laid a path for trump. both of them are mentioned in this 👇 www.vox.com/policy-and-p...
The US Constitution needs to be enforced - words on a page do not by themselves enforce consequences.
in a 6-3 decision...
This 👆🏻
I think I see how they do it. (maybe i'm slow for just realizing it now.) Lower court issues TRO preventing tariff from going into force. Trump appeals directly to SC. SC in unsigned order says TRO is stayed during pendency of matter. They're not, not making it a power of the president.
But if they do make it a power of the President imagine how big a bribe they can ask for
...which has the de facto effect of making it a power of the President.
For the next 30 years
Poor Brazil. So far from God, so close to the US.
Ô vida...
Thanks Dave
Just you wait until the Constitution gets home! Then you’ll really be sorry!
☝️🤓 Erm, actually, Mr. President, you can't legally do that.
And?
Then fucking actually DO SOMETHING to punish/stop him!
Halleluja there is still commen sense to be found... please bring back that sense🙏
That only matters if it's enforced.
yet no one is doing anything
Crime occurs Nothing happens Burger
Feijoada
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Dei sinceras gargalhadas com isso
Eu também!!!!
this is the best haiku I've ever read and I refuse to find out if it's really a haiku
I'm sure the constitution will go and punch him right in the mouth for this insult.
Thing about rules is they need to be enforced and the person held accountable. Otherwise they're just threats?
oh thanks for clearing that up David, im sure they'll stop now
The Constitution? He don't need no stinking Constitution!
Lot of people replying that the Constitution doesn't matter to show how smart they are and how unwilling they are to do something about it.
The US Constitution is just an excuse to not ban guns or punish racism, it never stood in the way of an evil agent doing evil things.
It doesn't appear to be stopping him.
this is like when i sit my cat down to tell him he can't pee in the storage room. i have told him the constitution doesn't allow him to do any of this. Chuck Schumer wrote him a letter. room still smells like cat piss
#ccksckrmotherfckr
Amazing reference 😎
What do expect a Maga controlled congress to do?
their job, lol
And what power does the minority party have? None.
Impeach now!
It doesn't prevent him, either. So he's doing it.
The US Constitution is a document. It doesn't prohibit or allow anything. People do.
Yet.
You should give him a heads up then
Trump with the Constitution:
I am sorry, with all my respect sir, but I believe trump is wipping his big fat white ass with the constitution
this movie is actually pretty funny
well see…..the thing is….
US Constitution? We don't need no stinkin' Constitution! We have TRUMP now! Yay! /sarc font activated
USS constitution is a derelict museum ship berthed in Boston, MA
So is America now. Catch up.
That uh. . . Was kind of what I was. . . Nvm
I think we're angrily agreeing.
I had a couple of beers! I may have misread things.
Cheers!!
Salud!
Fair enough.
and now we know why
It only matters when the supreme court says it
LMAO
He’s all corned up
I was trying to remember why I hadn’t heard anything from this guy in a while
Wow, maybe he just doesn't know that???
well he is
John Robert's disagrees with you.
Would sure love to see someone stop him
But he did and we hope that this shitty President that you elected shoves this letter up his ass.
The constitution is a bunch of words on paper, it can't block anyone from doing anything.
Vocês vivem num estado fascista jkkkkkkkkkkk acorda, porra
“Mas aquele pedaço de papel com o qual nosso presidente está limpando a bunda há mais de um ano não permite que ele faça isso!”. Confesso que eu acho até fofo.
Pior que n tem seis meses ainda de mandato
Os caras acham que aquele STF deles, sem uma careca lustrosa e brilhante, vai dar conta???
Uh oh, Trump is going to be in really big trouble when the constitution finds out.
No way Donnie wiggles out of this one
Mike Johnson, the guy who the constitution says should hold president Trump accountable, says its fine.
Yes, David, we are fucking well aware that the Constitution bars the president from doing a lot of things. You seem to be confusing the laws of man with the laws of nature. Gravity doesn’t need to be enforced in order to work. The Constitution does. And when it’s not enforced, it doesn’t work.
US Constitution is meaningless. It's time for the likes of California and New York to say fuck this united states bollocks, see ya.
And yet he does
Don the Con doesn’t care about the Constitution - he cares about himself and his allies.
Lots of old folks discovering that laws are made up and have no power if not enforced
Yeah but you are in a dictatorship, your Constitution is worth nothing.
soooooo....?
SCOTUS:
That's good to know. What is the US Constitution going to do about it? Laws only have meaning when they're actually respected or enforced. Trump respects no law and the judicial arm has demonstrated time and again they don't intend to enforce them on him.
Dude we are post constitution. Please try to keep up.
Yeah that doesn't matter any more
Yeah, but Congress are the only ones who have the power to really do anything about it, and they won't.
but Congress does!
IT'S A PAPER TIGER UNLESS YOU FUCKING DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
laws don’t matter unless you are poor or not white, dave
one way street lol
OK, are you ready to call for a general strike?
Lol noooo that would hurt their money
Let's do it! #GSUS
So, it's another random Wednesday..
Oh. Well then I’m sure he will stop!
Sir, you are confused. US Constitution is a piece of paper. It has no ability to allows nor disallow ANYTHING because it is an inanimate object with no agency. You're thinking of courts and/or cops.
Good one, David! I too like to pretend it’s 2014 again
Who would have standing to sue?
Looking forward to a non-binding resolution saying that Trump is a real turd.
Damn, you should totally send him a memo or something about that, he probably just didnt know
Constitution doesn't matter in a fascist regime and that's what y'all are living right now
Who’s going to stop him?
I know you dont understand this but the law only applies if its enforced by someone. So enforce it. Punch him out if you need to.
What’s the constitution gonna do, it’s a piece of paper it doesn’t have a gun.
Damn, someone tell him!
If the people with guns don't stop him then it really doesn't fucking matter, does it?
girlllllll you’re so right lol so uh 👉🏼🥰👈🏼 any chance you could idk bb do something haha nbd tho angel
bsky.app/profile/mead...
bsky.app/profile/mike...
is that the same Constitution that Trump wasn't sure he swore to defend?
maybe trump will defend some part of the constitution, but you really can't expect him to read all that small print
The constitution is shredded. Duh 🙄
oh ok !! nothing to worry about then !! you ninny
Collecting 9 dragon balls does not allow Pikachu to learn the Sexy Jutsu.
Dude what world are you living in where it means anything anymore
Who’s going to stop him? Can anyone do anything at this point?
Well then it's just a worthless piece of paper. Maybe the next one should give the Legislature and Judiciary control of over a portion of the military.
Meia-noite eu te conto
What's the constitution gonna do about it David Corn?
Has anyone asked the French how they dealt with these kinds of leaders?
Vigorous debate?
Oui!
How do you say “let’s fucking go” in French?
Allons-y, les gars
I feel like this administration has us all playing improv games. Trump: Says and/or does something terrible and illegal Us: You can't do that, it's unconstitutional Trump: Yes, and?
NERD
Unfortunately the current president uses the Constitution as TP.
If only you knew a connected media savvy person that could get the word out about all the malfeasance in clear and honest language!
But then, the US Constitution is a hypothetical with no real application to our current world.
Oh good, I was worried there for a second.
Do we have anything stronger than the Constitution? I don’t think it’s working like it used to.
De people, but the united statians already proved that will do nothing.
This sort of implies you think this is the first thing Trump has done that he's not constitutionally or legally supposed to do.
The US Constitution is just marks on old dead animal skin without humans to enact it
You know what the US Constitution does allow? Impeachment. We should do that.
What's the point? He literally incited an insurrection and they couldn't get the numbers to convict him. And now his sycophants control both chambers. The house wouldn't even impeach him now, let alone the senate convict him.
From a practical perspective, if every Dem supported impeachment (and we're not even there yet), as did every Republican who voted for impeachment before, we'd need only about 5 votes in the House and I think 14 in the Senate. Those aren't easy numbers, but the margins are tighter than you think.
The republicans aren’t going to do that. Impeachment efforts won’t work until after midterms (if we get that far…) I still support the attempts though. And I’ll never forgive my rep (Greg Landsman) for voting to table it.
Sorry, not the “republicans“, the fascist party. They’re not republicans anymore.
I mean, I'm in OH-04. I am represented in Congress by Jim Jordan, John Husted, and Bernie Moreno. I'm aware of just how bad a congressional delegation can be. But I still think that, out of 200+ people, professional persuaders should be able to persuade five of them to do what they already promised.
Hello from OH-01! They might fold if they see the ship is going under. But I don’t know what that will take. I also don’t know how we‘re going to make it to midterms. imho we need to be organizing and planning for out-system solutions in parallel with fighting to get good ppl through primaries.
Maybe they can't. I know it's going to be hard. And if they can't, it means Congress is basically broken, which may in fact be the case. I just look at where we are after 6 months, and I don't know if we can make it another 18. We have to do something, and there's only one something within the law.
I've been calling my delegation at least once a week since April. I've never gotten a response from any of them. I don't expect I will, and if I do, I don't expect they will agree with me. But I still call, because what else am I going to do? They're supposed to represent me, so I demand it.
Even if impeachment fails, it still has value. The administration's crimes are listed and read into the Congressional record, which lets voters have more of a chance to know about them. Plus, if you're worried about the midterms, you can hit them with "they voted to keep the criminal in office."
More abstractly, it's what the Constitution demands. It's what they swore an oath to do, regardless of how many of their colleagues uphold their oaths. It's also the only legal remedy the Constitution gives us for a lawless, authoritarian, tyrannical president.
I love this fairy tale world where The Voters™️ actually change their minds after hearing his crimes for the 1000th time They knew he was a rapist and they still voted him in anyway & acting like even a single Republican would dare fight back against the Supreme Leader is laughable Live in reality
Having to construct this big dream that a THIRD impeachment would accomplish ANYTHING is as meaningless as said impeachment trial. He's the president, he has total unilateral control of the government. What we need is American heroes, not hypothetical shaming.
What are those heroes going to do? What specific actions are we expecting those heroes to take that will put a stop to this administration? There's one legal option, and it's impeachment.
Well, I'm certainly not going to advocate for any solutions that are outside the law here where the feds can see me. Look, you may be right, this may come down to ending the administration in a manner outside the law, but that's going to be ugly and bloody and nobody wants it.
While we have the republic we have, we should use the tools made available by the founding document of that republic to fight to preserve it. I'm aware that impeachment is far from a perfect weapon to use, but all the others will get a lot more people killed.
sooner or later men with guns are gonna have to walk into the White House and remove him. it'll be MUCH BETTER for our country if there is a rock solid legal basis for them doing so. proper impeachment, conviction, and removal is by far the best way to do this.
Richael loves to wallow in defeatism. Defeatism is a real problem. It demotivates the team. Nothing brings a long series of losses more reliably than someone convincing the team they have no chance. Just admitting that there's a possibility they could win, might get the team to show up for once.
When I say we must demand impeachment, I don't mean a tiny little half-assed Pelosi charade like we saw in late 2019. We need a high-powered firehose of impeachments. Every single crime committed by the orange scum or his henchmen must be impeached. #uspol #pelosi #USPolitics #impeachment
Arrogance to the point of believing you can see the future... in addition to the defeatism which is exactly where fascist needs us to be right now. Here's why you're wrong about GOP congressmen and senators: bsky.app/profile/thel...
Many of them secretly hate the guy.
"things are hard so we should just give up" is fucking loser energy we'd never tolerate from a little league team. but somehow people think we should accept that behavior from highly paid high prestige folks who took a fucking oath... smdh
There are millions violating the oath they supposedly took to the constitution.
millions of what? and there's video evidence along with many eyewitnesses who saw our Members of Congress take that oath. there is no "supposedly". We know they did.
Congress members aren't the only ones who take an oath to the constitution.
The Maga cult controls Congress/Duma.
Millions have sworn an oath to protect and defend the US constitution from all enemies foreign and domestic. A country gets the government it deserves.
Yeah well US is waaaay past that you know, time to wake up.
Yeah, because that's stopped him BEFORE, right?
My guy since WHEN have the rules of your Constitution EVER mattered to Trump?
💯 So fucking annoying when people present this crap. Like telling a dope dealer selling drugs is against the law. They don’t give a F.
Dummy’s signature of his last name looks like it says Dummmy
and?
TELL THE SUPREME COURT. MAYBE THEY'LL LISTEN TO YOU.
The US Constitution is just a piece of paper now. Irregardless of what it says, who will stop him?
Airbud.jpg
Yeh that ship seems to have sailed. Relying on The Constitution to save the day was always magical thinking.
What are you doing about it?
🙄
Is there any member of this administration that graduated high school? The number of grammatical errors in these letters is astounding.
Remember. If you're getting mugged. Just remind the mugger that they can't do this and they're breaking the law. They will surely stop
the pathetic constitution of the USA allowed trump to return to the white house, we don’t care about imperialist opinions on what we should do e we do not accept it
Technically it didn't. Republicans and those who decided it was okay he got elected again, did.
Well if no one stops him, is that meaningful in any way?
Guess what - the Constitution WILL allow the fat felon to run for a third but unconsecutive terms. And the Constitution means nothing to him so he ignores it with the blessing on the spineless SC and Democrats.
The minority party has zero power in congress.
But gee, the minority party of Republicans durning Obama were massively in power.
Obama had a split congress during the majority of his administration. Elections have consequences.
Yes but Mitch and his minority blocked everything especially a SC nomination.
Indeed, now do something about it
Your constitution right now.
Congress could stop this embarrassing insanity tomorrow. Trump is mentally compromised and is doing irreparable damage to our standing in the world community. The Republicans own this fiasco. Every damn bit of it.
And? No, seriously, do you actually think he gives a shit, or something?
David Corn lmao
The constitution is a piece of paper. It doesn't mean shit. If the last six months haven't made that clear to you, you should go see a fuckin brain doctor cause something is wrong with you.
Yes, but all the Ivy educated goppers never learned how to read, so no problem there. 🤣
Doesn't let him mint his own coins either, wonder where this will go.
But for some reason, US Congress is more than happy to.
Who enforces this concept?
And who is going to do anything about it?
Yet, here we are. A compliant judicial branch and a do nothing Congress enables the felon occupying the oval office.
Meat will be astronomical. This is where our beef comes from
Well it’s not stopping him so it’s honestly useless
Okay so go arrest him.
Political concerns... But he can't put his THUMB on Brazil's scales of justice (his hands are too small) So he'll have to interfere with a full diaper... Just wait 2 weeks!
Who or what will stop him?
But Congress and SCOTUS does. Which is the problem.
wow you don't say
But Republican maga men simps and traitor trash do.
Nothing matters anymore. The dawn of an authoritarian regime has arrived in the United States. Congress has abdicated its responsibilities. Trump is propected by a corrupted, dishonest, unethical, compromised radical right majority at the Supreme Court. Trump will do whatever he wants.
"The US Constitution does not allow..." such touching nostalgia.
Well THINK ABOUT THIS A LOT OF PPL ARENT EVEN ALLOWED TO WRK FOR USA .. Trump included & 2 SCOTUS Judges . #JustSaying
6 Supremes will say it does.
David, you're living in a fascist nation. Trump wipes his ass with the constitution. Stop grasping at that piece of paper.
There is no invisible referee. www.currentaffairs.org/news/2020/09...
The wut? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Mas deixa o presidente manipular o mercado de ações pra benefício próprio ai que é bom né seu PALHAÇO
I guarantee right now he's using the American Constitution as a napkin, that old ass piece of paper hasn't stood for shit in years.
Id personally use them as rolling paper
You're so real for that
waow maybe next time try having an actual system in place instead of a few paragraphs written in the back of a napkin by a couple guys more than two centuries ago if you have a "next time"
Tell me when the Constitution gets up and physicallly drags him to jail.
Okay, is the constitution gonna get up, roll its sleeves and magically just stop him?
Well that’s not yet been a compelling argument, so…
Especially in support of criminal misbehavior by Trump’s buddy.
Who's going to stop him?
👶🏻🧠
My brother had a pet beagle who wasn’t supposed to piss in the house, but the rules never stopped him, either
www.reuters.com/world/asia-p... Be South Korea. This is exactly what he did.
Are you fucking stupid, or?
Cool story bro, I don’t think the Constitution has been relevant for the past couple of moths, and apparently SCOTUS agrees with me 🤷🏻♀️
I think those moths already ate the constitution 😉
Impeach!
Peach
Imagine being so naive to think that matters at all LMFAO. Like a child.
and?
Oh. Well that’s good then
When the fuck has this ever mattered.
