Would Trump be allowed to take office if he wins the election?

Can anyone imagine the horrors if The Donald should:

  1. Lower capital gains taxes to 15%,
  2. Start TWO wars
  3. Authorize the torture of enemy combatants,
  4. Attempt to privatize Social Security
  5. Authorize FBI wire tapping of international calls

… or the absolute worst …

  1. Require 1099 reporting for annual transactions totaling over $600 to an individual.

We might as well tear up the Constitution and give ourselves back to England …

Ah-ha! No wonder that, just yesterday, CNN announced how Ryan declared he voted [early] for that “real estate mogul” despite Ryan pleading for the GOP Reps to disenfranchise and save themselves just two weeks prior. (Note: CNN pointed out that Ryan won’t speak his name.) So that’s the plan, aye? Yes, I think you’ve hit on it, SlackerInc! All along, I’ve been expecting Trump to bail out saying something like “this is all a prank gone horribly wrong”. So, we should not rule out a usurped Presidency come Jan 20th? Hmm, curiouser and curiouser… Only time will tell.

I’m still trying to figure out if this is the stupidest thread in the Pit or if it’s the bug killing one.

…until your next sentence.

Er, no. “Libs would find that tragic” because bypassing the entire justice system in order to imprison political enemies without sufficient evidence is tyrannical (actually tyrannical, not just “OMG OBAMA WANTS US TO THINK ABOUT RESPONSIBLE GUN USE” tyrannical), creates a devastating precedent and in general is antithetical to everything America and the Constitution stand for. The question, Clothahump, is why you’d apparently be okay with it.

I mean, right now the only “obstacles” into the endless investigations into Hillary appear to be the law and the lack of any substantial evidence, but you seem to think that if only you keep shovelling horseshit for long enough you’ll eventually find a pony. Perhaps you’d like her waterboarded? Trump seems to be fine with “removing the obstacles” into doing that, and I’m sure that would turn up something to arrest her for.

I was gonna say.

Oh, I dunno. This might be dumber than anything Clothy has ever posted.

I tend to agree, although Clothahump’s sheer volume of idiocy, over an extended period of time, is impressive.

I think you’ve said enough.

This one, but only by a tiny bit. Had the OP not endorsed the idea of a military coup, I’d give it to the bug one.

:confused:

What would the OP be, then, in this alternate history timeline of yours?

In order to save democracy we had to destroy democracy.

Imagine for a second if you’d simply not posted the incredibly stupid thought you were having.

I think we’d all be better off.

There’s the germ of a clever jibe in there somewhere, but it’s half formed. Back to the drawing board with you now, run along.

lol, ur dumb

ur

:rolleyes:

… a nudnik.

Putz.

Well said. I also think Trump would and will be a disaster. But like you, I would and am completely opposed to any sort of coup or insurrection - by EITHER “side”.

Sully’s a Tory and a monarchist. He’s about the last pundit whose advice about democracy I’d pay attention to.

Nah … there’s some basis for not killing bugs in the Hindu religion I do believe … this particular thread is the stupidest … bar none …
