        You didn’t say sudo, so it’ll be ok.

      They’re past that, honestly. The SCOTUS decision on the POTUS being above the law was that moment.

      The POTUS has the same power that Hitler wielded after the Reichstag fire. Then they elected the worst person to have that power.

      You know the person weighing Hitler down was warmonger president Paul Hindenburg. There’s none of them in the US, and the only judiciary that could, won’t stop him.

        Yeah but they still need some sort of excuse to declare an emergency, impose Marshall Law and round up all the Democrats and “DEI” workers. The functional collapse of the government would be very convenient for them.

      Nah if this happened, trump would say that each person now owes him millions of dollars (scaling based on assets) and MAGAS would line up to thank him for shielding them from the evil banks
