Except he can legally literally start killing everyone in line in front of him until he is first in line.

As long as he declares

"I am about to commit an official act as president" before he starts his rampage it's all good

[-] SendMePhotos@lemmy.world 12 points 3 weeks ago

Boy, there are a lot of Negative Nancys in the Fediverse.

Hi, Negative Nancy here: what exactly should I take this to be other than either A) useless drivel or B) propaganda?

Because presidents are demonstrably not like us. They only come from the rich and they are fully above the law. They can decide, based on nothing but their own ego, that they need to run the country and anyone that stands in their way gets to be demonized by an extremely well-funded political party.

They can spend their entire career making student loan debt an unshakeable yolk for an entire generation and then pretend like they're doing something about it by following through on existing law and failing to do anything substantial.

A lie.

Are you suggesting the pictures are all deepfakes?

[-] mitexleo@buddyverse.one 2 points 3 weeks ago

No, I meant "They're like us" is a lie.
