This meme speaks to a level of civic education from which we can draw a direct line to electing authoritarians like Trump.

Please tell me who writes laws in the United States. I’ll wait.

I don't think you understand what the vice president does.

[–] simplejack@lemmy.world 37 points 18 hours ago

Or how Congress works.

Right. Even if she were President, there isn’t a single change that she could make that couldn’t be immediately undone by Trump and a Republican Congress in January.

Try un-eating a cake, or undoing corporal punishment. My point is, not all things are reversible.

Biden could pardon prisoners or charged individuals without Trump’s say. He could also provide additional funding to Ukraine and Taiwan. I can’t think of any other action by a Presidential Executive Order or Congressional legislation that can’t be changed by another President or Congress.

Military actions, release of information, establishing precedent of executive power etc.

These are just some categories, there are many fundamentally irreversible actions.

[–] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Release of information is a good one that I missed.

Military actions are immediately reversible by the Commander-In-Chief, and the President doesn’t define or control the executive power held by the office. That’s determined by SCOTUS’s interpretation of the Constitution.

Now I imagined Harris spanking Trump while stuffing her face with cake, so thanks for the visual I guess.

[–] Ioughttamow@fedia.io 18 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Well, she makes it ok to elect a child rapist. Oh wait, my mistake, that was the electorate. Yes the electorate, everyone who didn’t vote for Kamala, just rewarded a child rapist.

She's the Vice President, not the President. Nor is the House, where bills start, have a Democrat majority.

Biden, on the other hand, could shoot the Supreme Court justices and it would be perfectly legal.

[–] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago

That won’t matter either. With a fully Republican controlled Congress, I’m absolutely expecting them to expand and pack the Supreme Court this term.

[–] todd_bonzalez@lemm.ee 13 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

Honestly, he should just go for it. He's not got that many years left anyway, and he would eventually be known as a hero.

[–] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 1 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

What do you mean not many years left? The supreme court gave him presidential immunity to do it.

[–] todd_bonzalez@lemm.ee 2 points 5 hours ago

He's old. He could go out with a bang.

[–] Frog@lemmy.ca 22 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Keep shooting until he appoints justices that find him innocent.

[–] dariusj18@lemmy.world 24 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

Keep shooting until the justices find him guilty

[–] Alwaysnownevernotme@lemmy.world 6 points 15 hours ago

Fuck it. Just keep shooting. Just appointing SCJ's en masse one after another, cheyney, bush, fuck it Trump why not, get Gingrich and O'Reilly, just running down the list. A terrifying image of a line of black robed hooded politicos being shuffled down an excrement strewn hallway by secret service agents. hearing each other take their oaths in front of dark Brandon in a marble throne. Spitting and sputtering their pathetic last words. A millisecond accurate timer counts down 70 days behind him as he eats vanilla ice cream cones in sunglasses. Kamala sits by his side with a hairless cat in her lap. The footage is broadcasted internationally via a single gopro mounted to a gold plated AR-15 with an anime girl front ironsight.

[–] nul9o9@lemmy.world 4 points 16 hours ago

This is the way.

[–] Kalkaline@leminal.space 10 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

It's only legal according to the Supreme Court for Trump.

[–] AngryRobot@lemmy.world 2 points 20 minutes ago

They csnt pass judgmental if they're dead.

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 7 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Biden, on the other hand, could shoot the Supreme Court justices and it would be perfectly legal.

Unfortunately, even if he wasn't spineless, that wouldn't do us much good considering the incoming president.

Well frankly I think the Heritage Foundation represents a clear and present threat to the United States security so you know that might actually help a lot
