The "legally" part refers to how they're trying to make it legal.

[–] yrmp@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago

Trump signs an executive order and the Supreme Court says it’s constitutional under the 87th amendment or whatever.

These people are really angry about winning.

[–] yrmp@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago

It’s not enough to win. It’s not enough that they’ve terrorized everyone for nearly ten years (in their current iteration). Now we have to pay for not wanting to be terrorized.

I am so sick of not being represented by my government in the slightest. Now the government actively wants me dead. Wild. Founding fathers had a revolution for less. Of course the UK didn’t have drones and nukes in the 1700s.

Hell we should know how crazy these people are. They wanted to destroy the country when we suggested that maybe owning other people and subjecting them to brutal labor conditions was maybe slightly immoral? Just a tad? Like could you guys cut that shit out? And they’ve held that grudge for 140 years.

illegally, politically and economically*

what makes a body “political”?

[–] yrmp@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago

Probably the same fairy dust that makes corporations into people.

A random idiot posts random bullshit on social media -- but we gotta take it seriously because they might end up being attorney fucking general. Welcome back to the Trump era.

It's alright, it's been prefaced.

They want to do violent stupid things legally. But because Trump is in charge, I guess all violent stupid things are legal now.

I'm so glad all I ever did in politics is build some homeless shelters a few decades ago. Shouldn't be enough to get me noticed.

[–] yrmp@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago

Look at this communist over here. You wasted money that could’ve been siphoned to the billionaire caste. Straight to the gulag with you!

(Legally, because SCOTUS said it's totally okay if trumpypoo orders it officially).

[–] PDFuego@lemmy.world 79 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Remember a few years back when we'd have a running gag of saying something violently over the top and adding "in Minecraft" to the end? Some dude on 4chan got arrested for doing that with death threats, and yet for years I've been hearing other people, guys with actual political power and platforms, muttering "politically" after way worse shit. It's a good thing whenever anyone acts on anything it's a false flag, it'd suck if they ever had to face any consequences.

[–] bobs_monkey@lemm.ee 3 points 21 hours ago

Well yeah, when you have the power of the state on your side you can say or do whatever you want. If you're a random citizen, get fucked pleb.

This is the DC equivalent of saying "...in Minecraft"

[–] 9point6@lemmy.world 24 points 1 day ago

You guys are fucked.

Well, thanks to the influence of the US, we're all fucked, so thanks.

[–] ironhydroxide@sh.itjust.works 20 points 1 day ago (1 children)

To these types legal=moral. So all they have to do to be morally justified in doing something, is to make it legal.

[–] A7thStone@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago

It goes the other way for them too. If they think it's moral then it doesn't matter what the law says, they believe they are justified in doing it.

[–] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 day ago

Trump just has to say, "...as an official act", then he's a-OK to go with whatever, however unconstitutional it may be.
