That’s how democracy works
The will of the people is greater than the laws as written
The people voted for Trump, a Republican congress, and by extension a Republican Supreme Court
It’s working as intended
I don't understand how Trump gets away with all his senial BS. How come everyone is telling him to piss off or use the constitution to shut him the hell up?

30% of US adults voted for trump.
Decades of gerrymandering, voter suppression, disinfo campaigns and no small amount of outright fraud brought the current regime to power, not the will of american people.

Because the people who didn't want him, have things to lose and are reluctant to upset their way of life in doing so. That's the American Way, is to chain and distract the populace just enough where they're interlocked in indecisiveness as to do or don't. Please do not shit on these people, I'm absolutely sure if it was entirely worth it, we would've started the 2nd Revolution by now from this tyranny that has taken hold on us.
The people who did vote for him - have nothing to lose, which is why they don't care, which is why they support everything he does.

I would have written something that would have 100% gotten me banned, if I didn’t have a community to build. And I would have been 100% right about it, and anyone who would say otherwise, could straight up fuck themselves.
If I had written it.
But long-term goals, and people come first.

Because trump is largely irrelevant.
His job is distraction-in-chief. He's just a dumb patsy - a role he's spent his life perfecting.
His business career was just laundrering russian mob money, and his political career is just drawing fire from the rich cabal looting the american empire before there's nothing left to loot.

Because wherever there are people with power, there are those who will do ANYTHING to gain access to that power. When there’s no mechanism to FORCE those with power to over the law, then they won’t, and their cronies will be insulated to some degree from consequences. Enough people (Congress) who could force consequences are the ones benefiting from Trump’s corruption and could suffer negative consequences for turning against Trump. A lot of those guys are very old and extremely unlikely to suffer consequences if the following administration is also Republican. It’s a big ugly tangle and unless somebody is willing to just arrest the Orange Jackass and all his ghouls, nothing will change.

Nazis. And the pedophiles that run the US will protect the pedophile in the White House.
Paragone@lemmy.world 1 week ago
The comment by Wilco@lemmy.zip is right, but isn’t complete…
There is a basic animal-psychology thing, going on, too…
We instinctively assume that validity, status, AND HOW TALL A PERSON IS, are related.
Simply sit, sometime, & see people, noticing the different manner of the overly-tall & the overly-short…
Notice that the overly-short are bumped-into more, ignored more, treated as not-valid more, etc…
Notice that the overly-tall have a kind of “inherent” confidence, on average, that most don’t, simply because the way others relate to their body’s “status” programmed that into them…
Some lives are born with “teflon” preventing accountability.
Some lives are born with “glue” making accusations & enmity stick on them for no apparent reason.
Trump’s life is characterized by non-accountability.
HIS WHOLE LIFE he consistently gets-away-with what normals wouldn’t.
Other people are consistently subject to prejudice.
This is just 1 of the kinds of diversity that happens in this world.
SANE worlds wouldn’t allow the not-accountable, or not-responsible, or narcissists, or machiavellians, or gaslighters, or sociopaths/psychopaths, or nihilists, or WHATEVER happens to be harmful to the community/country, to have authority, but … politics won’t tolerate anything to interfere with narcissism/machiavellianism/psychopathy, the Dark Triad, so that’s what gets to own/rule the world.
Anyways, it’s karma.
His continuum/soul’s previous-committing-of-meaning somehow rigged that that-soul get caught in a life exempt from accountability, and … his soul’s future is not anything I’d want to be caught-in.
Action->reaction, though: the degree to which he enforces corruption & evil in this world, after his-soul earns its purificaiton, it will be an equal-power/opposite-nature great-saint among some future world, somewhere, somewhen.
All the Western religions which hold that change isn’t possible once human-incarnation dies, or which holds that ONLY HUMAN lives are lives with souls, all the rest of the lives in the universe are fake props that exist for the sake of humans…
narcissism.
Universe recycles EVERY energy contained within it, including meaning.
Getting caught in a life that has “teflon” protection against accountability doesn’t prevent accoutability, it only prevents immediate accountability.
Universe’s action->reaction law applies, anyways.
That is the folly of getting a “fortunate” life which consumes all one’s good-fortune, while preventing-accountability, & then … railroading one’s own soul’s future-someone, with all the consequences of what one had heaped on them…
shrug
Action-reaction’s real.
HE is exempt from accountability, but the continuum/soul which caught in his life, isn’t.
It’ll learn, same as all souls learn…
From the condition of this world, it looks like souls earning purification are outnumbered by souls earning hells by a factor of … 9:1 or something?
Whatever the ratio is, that means that the speed-of-finishing-the-soul-growing-up has to be the same ratio faster.
IF souls spend 9 lives as monsters, for every 1 life as a saint, then the saint-life must progress souls 9x as quickly, see?
But the fundamental point is simply that animal-psychology is real, & some people just have minds that instinctively society won’t make accountable.
& others have minds that instinctively nobody will consider valid.
I have zero reason to believe anybody’ll consider my meaning, here, to be valid.
It’s educational to be deemed inherently nonvalid!
It helps break one’s unconscious-presumption of “belonging” based “validity”.
But … speaking truth, properly, is good practice & habit, so it’s worth it, in spite of it consistently not being worth anything to anybody in the world, because they instinctively feel it’s false/lies, because it’s of “me”.
& that’s proper!
Exactly as it’s proper for humankind to be always accommodating Trump’s kind: go with the animal-feelings, because being more adult than that isn’t normal, right?
( only partly sarcastic: it isn’t YOU/I that has to learn any such lesson, it is unconscious-mind that has to, & it is … NOT quick to learn )
( Padmasambhava was right: have attachment to human-validity?
THEN the antidote is to get caught in a life which never has any real human-validity, & experience the prejudice, the status-based-“validity”, the class-based-“validity”, the muscle/body/height-based-“validity”, the money-based-“validity”, etc, until AVERSION has equalled & opposited the attachment-delusion, removing it!
THEN one can have detachment-from-human-“validity”.
Not quite there, yet, but getting significantly closer.
I wish it had been easier to learn, but I’m woodenheaded, so it took stronger education to force the understanding in. )

It sounds like you’re getting your information from purely 1-sided sources. Look for news sources that cover the perspective of both sides. I’m not saying this as a Trump supporter.

A disgustingly low percentage of the US population votes in non-presidential elections. The right-wing has spent the better part of the last century stacking the deck at every level of government. The invention of the internet makes it harder for them to maintain this though (much easier to find out who/what you’re voting for)

Because America is a democracy and enough of the voters wanted this.

The USA was run by the Jesuit Order, since one of the founders (Carrol) and his family were Jesuits. They served the Black Pope.

“If you don’t, someone else will.” But that only works when the population is so divided that they don’t trust the average replacement to hold your standards. And then of course be proven that the next person actually doesn’t hold the same standards.

Plenty of people are telling him to piss off, it doesn’t matter anymore, he has the keys to the castle.
He’s also surrounded by a cabal of the worst people humanity has to offer, who are taking this opportunity to get as much abhorrent shit done as they can before he kicks the bucket and this weird cult of personality they have dies with him.
None of them are interested in stopping this train, they’re getting everything they dreamed of and more.
