> [@Monty](#): > > If the melon felon does manage to get back into office, the very first thing he’s going to do is jettison the constitution. It’s not like he’s never said anything of that sort. Opinions vary on whether Trump would gleefully and openly trash the entire Constitution. I tend to think that he’d go slow, out of a belief that he could use it as window dressing for committing obvious crimes (such as setting up a forest of gallows on the National Mall and hanging everyone who works at CNN, MSNBC, and the DNC, as well as those politicians he doesn’t like. And of course Taylor Swift, Rosie O’Donnell, and E. Jean Carroll). He’ll want to point to Article II as empowering him to do it. And of course Roberts’ Court will back him up. Practically speaking: yes. He will use the Constitution to wipe his butt. ---

> [@Smapti](#): > > Trump literally suggests implementing the Purge to stop violent crime. Not even violent crime. He’s talking about shoplifting. You know, the “kids” with their calculators adding up the total cost to make sure it is under $950. Stealing from stores and getting away with it because nobody will stop them or, I guess, prosecute them? So send in the vigilantes for one very rough hour. Or the riot police. Or maybe hire thugs from off the street, the big guys with a lotta muscle. Maybe I’m conflating different remarks. It’s hard to tell with Trump. ---
