    “Autocrat over rules legislature by executive order. Legislature and public do nothing about it, later wonder why their country keeps sliding towards fascism.”

      It’s a little bit worse than that:

      “Autocrat overrules legislature by executive order to assist a foreign power with military attacks against his own country, in order to help maintain his grip on power. Legislature and public do nothing.”

    I really hope they live stream Donnie when he’s facing a firing squad. Now that I’d watch.

      Death is a far too easy escape for him. All his possessions should be taken away, he should be locked up and forced to do 8 hours psychotherapy per day to realize what he did, and we should keep him alive and conscious for as long as technologically possible

        You ever seen that show, Hunters? Basically it’s about a group of Holocaust survivors hunting down remaining Nazis in the 70s. Well, anyway, it turns out that Hitler is still alive in Argentina and they capture him and hand him over to the ICC. He has a trial and the only lawyer that will represent him is a Jew who tries to get him to plead insanity, which, Hitler being Hitler, he refuses and demands to take the witness stand. He goes on a rant which basically seals his fate. They lock him up in solitary confinement in the Hague and he spends the rest of his days ranting at nobody in a tiny cell.

        I think that would be a good punishment for Trump.

    In an executive order released by the White House on Oct 16, Trump said the waiver was in the national interests of the United States.

    Fuck you little Donnie, in less than a month the people will speak their mind on your treason.

      Meh, I wouldn’t get my hopes up. If they lose they’ll scream about fraud and the Dems will probably not do shit anyway. If they win, they’ll go even deeper in their insanity.
