Day One

Dictator Trump: I am disbanding the US Constitution, and implementing a new one that gives the Office of the President supreme power. Whatever the President says becomes law and supersedes Congress and the Supreme Court. The sole purpose of Congress and the Supreme Court are to support the President however it's requested by the President. Anyone that disagrees with the President will be immediately be found guilty of high treason and punished by death without a trial. Only the President can decide who is allowed to run for President in elections. The only person that can adjust this constitution is the President, and only in order to give the President more power.

Day Two

President Trump: Sorry, guys. I'm just following the new constitution that the dictator before me implemented. ¯\(ツ)/¯

You joke, but that is uncomfortably believable.

[-] BackOnMyBS@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I can see why people would think I'm joking, but I am not. This is the kind of bs he would pull. He's warning us, bragging, and setting us up to shift blame onto us at the same time.

[-] IbnLemmy@feddit.uk 36 points 2 years ago

Can't believe you guys are going to vote this guy in.

[-] JJROKCZ@lemmy.world 28 points 2 years ago

Most of the nation doesn’t want this, the problem is that the 30-40% that do are the ones who actually go to the voting booths. Worse, they show up armed to the voting centers and stand around intimidating people under the guise of “ensuring security” or some other bullshit

[-] Semi-Hemi-Demigod@kbin.social 19 points 2 years ago

To be fair, he didn't win the popular vote and probably won't again. He'll still get elected because of our fucked up rules, though.

I'd sooner vote Jeffrey Dahmer into the presidency. And yes I realize he's been dead for almost 30 years. But I'd rather have his dead corpse in there than a decorative autumn squash with pussy breath.

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

You think he has pussy breath? That man has never done a sexual act for his partner’s pleasure in his life

[-] LoamImprovement@beehaw.org 6 points 2 years ago

I can. My fellow countrymen are fucking idiots who literally believe every lie they're fed as long as they get it from someone with the magic (R) next to their name. The intended result of having a dogshit educational system.

I will not rob the bank

Except when I feel like I want to rob the bank

[-] Jerkface@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

This time I'm just going to case the joint and rob it a little.

[-] PoopMonster@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago

Oh good that makes it all better then... /s

[-] tygerprints@kbin.social 10 points 2 years ago

Well that's comforting. I was getting tired of Democracy and freedom anyway, and who ever really believed all men are created equal and have equal rights? What nonsense. Now we can truly wipe our asses with the constitution, lock up all sodomites (ie anyone who isn't white and hetero) and send anyone with a foreign sounding name to Guantanamo Bay where they belong. I for one am brushing up on my goosesteps and gas chamber administration skills.

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

See y’all, enjoy the apocalypse, us sodomites’ll warm hell up for the rest of you. If we don’t it might be chilly compared to earth in the 2050s

[-] tygerprints@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

One good thing about going to hell, I'll finally be warm, and with people I recognize. And I have no qualms about men in red tights poking me in the butt with pitchforks. Good for them, I say.

Trump used to be a fascist, he still is but used to too.

[-] Eldritch@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

RIP in peace Mitch

[-] Poggervania@kbin.social 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I wish more people took after my boy Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus and actually be a good dictator who resigns like, two weeks after he’s appointed.

EDIT: should clarify I meant a good dictator as in a dictator who does whatever needs doing to improve or solve a problem in a way that strictly leaves the people better off. Y’know, the original intent of the position.

[-] ArugulaZ@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago

And if Biden wins, Trump will recognize the inevitability of his imprisonment and kill himself. Then he'll be dead from day one to the rest of eternity, which is a better deal from where I'm standing.

[-] Bipta@kbin.social 9 points 2 years ago

He doesn't have it in him to kill himself.

[-] ArugulaZ@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago

Good point. It's not like him to do anything beneficial for the rest of humanity.
