Summary
Donald Trump sparked backlash after quoting Napoleon on social media: “He who saves his Country does not violate any Law.”
Critics saw this as a justification for authoritarianism, comparing it to fascist rhetoric. Some mocked Trump’s legal troubles, while others suggested it signaled dictatorial ambitions.
His administration’s recent executive orders and efforts to bypass congressional approval have already raised legal concerns.
JD Vance’s claim that judges “aren’t allowed to control” the executive has further fueled fears of a constitutional crisis.
Skip to the part were we banish Trump to an island by himself and just leave him there.
Let’s send him to Hans Island. Then he can “rightfully” say he laid claim to Canada and Greenland and live out his life there as a proud and noble warrior. To sweeten the deal we can send him Canadian Whiskey and Danish Schnapps to enjoy, which is great since he doesn’t drink.
Now that’s a compromise many could probably live with.
As long as there’s no internet there, I’m in.
He’d have to fight all the other great powers of the world for 23 years, so… uh… yeah. Not looking forward to that.
He literally said he was going to be a day one dictator, multiple times, live on TV. And he still got elected.
People have forgotten why no one wins when you have a dictator. He’s kindly offered to remind them.
“elected”
Authoritarian culture -> Dictator fetish
Exile that orange mother fucker. Leave him on an island and let him have his little tantrums while the world forgets about him
♪But then he’ll come back!♩
So we should banish him to another island.
learn from history: start with the remote island. also put all the oligarchs on it and give them two guns. see how they like resource scarcity
Islands aren’t what they used to be with modern travel. We’d need to put him on the moon instead.
i’m fine with that. but we’re keeping the limited number of guns idea. and they’re both going to take different ammo so the oligarchs form up into meaningless groups based on arbitrary distinctions. see how they like it
Let’s aim for the stars. We’ll miss the starts however they can all enjoy the richness of the vast void before succumbing to petty reasons.
There’s a simple way for the Republicans in Congress to reassure critics that this is not a dictatorship: define it. Make a list of things that would obviously not be okay. If the rest of us are right about Trump, he’ll cross those lines sooner or later. Then there will be no more denying it.
Republicans want a dictatorship.
Republicans want to be in control. If Democrats had set up a dictatorship, they would be completely against it.
Like some sort of constitution
This is their plan in action. They aren’t saying it’s not real because that’s what they think, they say it as a bad faith tactic.
BLASTS
The internet RIPPS OFF TRUMP’S PANTS AND PADDLES HIS BEHIND WITH A BOTTLE OF WARCHESTERSHIRE SAUSE for quoting Nepoleon who is widely considered a poor film.
Tha sick bastard would probably get an orgasm from that. Don’t do it.
Fair enough.
… PADDLES HIS BEHIND…
Hey, I think you’re onto something.
Trump being a dictator…
people commit angry typing to inflict maximum damage on the fascist-in-chief.
Now this is a headline!
Whoa there, let’s not make this into a sex thing.
/s…?
Uh, he already is one. He’s just laying out the legal justification for it based on the SCOTUS ruling.
Hmm, “He who saves the country does not violate any law.” Has anybody told Luigi about this?
It just means that he wants his cronies to do as they please. If you were even raise your hands to your face you are a class A war criminal and will be shot…
God I can’t believe this happened so fast. If you told me 10 years ago that it was going to be like this I’d call you crazy.
Plenty of people have been called crazy in the last ten years .
He already said it plainly years ago. Can we stop pretending that we are shocked by him being a dictator already?
The news will never report on the many fascist things he’s plainly said for the last decade, or point out that he’s already violating the constitution on a huge amount of actions. That would be mean.
the days of slamming are over. it is time to start blasting.

I dont care what the Internet says, I want congress or the SC to say something. Who cares what I think.
Nobody cares what they think either
At least he’s quoting Napoleon and not Hitler. Progress? No? ok, fuck Trump.
Hitler was a big Napolean fan. He visited his tomb after he conquered France.
Not Hitler directly, but this is the same quote that Norwegian far right terrorist Breivik included in his manifesto before killing 77 people. Hitler was also a big fan of Napoleon. Similar flies buzzing around the same shit.
I was reading that Wikipedia article earlier today and it said that when that terrorist was in prison he became a fan of Donald Trump and also publicly a nazi. So quite the trio there…
Does Hitler have any memorable quotes though?
“Do these knickers make mein ass look big…?”
He probably does not know the difference.
On 1 March 1815, Napoleon and his followers landed on the French mainland at Golfe-Juan and headed for Grenoble through the foothills of the Alps, taking the route now known as Route Napoléon. The 5th Regiment intercepted him just south of Grenoble on 7 March. Napoleon approached the battalion alone and called to them, “Here I am. Kill your Emperor, if you wish!” The soldiers responded with, “Vive l’empereur!” and joined Napoleon’s men. Six days later, 5,000 troops under Michel Ney, who had boasted that he would bring Napoleon to Paris in an iron cage, also joined Napoleon.
I rather doubt Trump has the kind of personal magnetism and courage that would get him to go face to face with armed troops and recruit them to his own side.
The important difference is that Napoleon actually did some good things for France. I’d rather have him than the Orange Jackass.
How much slamming is one blasting?
