    Its annoying that we need a fact check on this sovereign citizen like non reasoning. Heres one of mine. since nixon was impeached all actions by republican presidents are null and void. sorry. nixon got impeached. now no president of his party is lawful.

      Step 1: Blue wave in 2026

      Step 2: Constitutional amendment, any president gets impeached 3x by house, their party must dissolve. Asset forfeiture, and oust every politician and appointee in federal government. Practically suspend Congress until that all gets completed, Only procedural ‘keep the lights on’ stuff. You wanna keep your job? Beg to the committee, demonstrate non-complacency with all of the convictions through voting records and published text, and maybe you can run for re-election as an independent.

      Step 3: Impeach Trump again

      Step 4: Repeal the amendment. Can’t keep that genie out for too long, it will be used against you. Or, alternatively, makes it necessary to splinter both parties and adopt alternative voting. That’s probably even better. Having too many eggs in a basket makes for a big liability if you hold the executive.

      Ahh…a man can dream…

    Just because he’s a fat, hypocritical, dementia and cocaine addled doesn’t mean that he isn’t going to make this true with his brown shirt justice department.

    Until Little t orders DoJ to charge someone for something that Biden pre-emptively pardoned them for, this is an unanswered question.

    Trump also uses autopen at times. Trump is just throwing shit at the wall and see what sticks.

      Not only that, but he’s specifically testing things that they might use on him if by some miracle Trump is held to account. If his protest of Biden’s pardons do not stick, and we somehow emerge out of this authoritarian hell, his sycophants will say “Hey, you didn’t invalidate Biden’s pardons even though we proved they were illegal, don’t go near Trump’s pardons!”

    This is one of those few hard lines he could cross that would actually get me in the street. This, running for a 3rd term., probably something else too.

    Trump seriously needs someone to explain to him that the whole point of pardons is that they cannot be un-pardoned.
