O/T:- Trump Presidency 2.0 [hic sunt dracones]

[Med Pie]

Hmm. I think what much of the rest of the world is concerned about right now are the problems in their countries about to be caused by the U.S.

Denmark, Panama and Ukraine look to be top of that list but with some notable exceptions everyone is looking over their shoulder.

I think the next couple of years are going to be hilarious/fascinating/terrifying - depending on your demographic and relative financial security.

But to get back to the original topic:

What did anyone expect? Any sentence of substance would have been appealed until after inauguration day, open which POTUS will promptly pardon himself *. The judge would have been acutely aware of his no-win situation.

There is the concept of Law and Order. And then there is Realpolitik.


*I have no idea whether it's constitutionally legitimate for a POTUS to pardon himself, but even if it isn't, that wouldn't stop it happening.

Exactly so, as the old saying goes 'when America sneezes, we catch cold'. Already in the States, Zuckerberg is confident enough to end Meta's positive discrimination, in the name of diversity, hiring policy, would anyone be so bold in the UK as to declare that? Not with this government, certainly.

Apparently it IS ok for the President to grant an overreaching pardon to his son and possibly some of his cronies though.

Hitler had his fanatical supporters too, as did Mussolini, Stalin, Napoleon and many a dictator...etc. It doesn't mean their heads were screwed on right at the time but Trump has his blinkered supporters raving in the streets now as did Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, Napoleon...etc then.

Trump is attempting to grab Greenland and Panama and has also hinted at Canada becoming the 51st State - does that land grab sound familiar?

He will get on so well with Putin then they have so much in common.

Some fact checking on the fires from the Governor of California. I know some on here would rather believe President Rapist and his pals, but probably better not to.

Hahaha uncle Elon. It must be a b@stard to sleep when your phone keeps buzzing with all his drivel.

Elon Musk and the truth should never be mentioned in the same sentence.

Unless you are dumb enough to lap up his version of the truth.

Don?t be too unkind Elite, I suppose he will know a bit about grooming, given that his dad has had kids with his stepdaughter. Not weird at all.
