In retrospect it was a mistake to have a political system where the president can't unilaterally do anything good but can unilaterally do massive damage. That's our bad
May 5, 2025 13:46Trump is an illegitimate POTUS. He was disqualified under Article 14 Section 3 of the U.S. Constitution. Unfortunately we have a corrupt SCOTUS that over ruled 3 State Supreme Courts AND illegally gave Trump immunity from prosecution. The U.S. Supreme Court is a pro active participant in corruption.
It's like we built a fire alarm that only goes off when someone tries to install sprinklers, not when they light the match. The imbalance between obstruction and destruction isn’t just frustrating, it’s dangerous.
We gotta fix that in the Constitution sequel imo, seems like a major balancing issue
Didn't start out being that easy... look at the presidential powers prior to 1968.
It`s bad yes, but "our" or "your bad" no , since the US-constitution is the oldest on this planet. Time for reform, but who can do this in this confrontational situation...
How do you mean? He can launch positive executive orders if he wanted. He just doesn't want to "do good" and it doesn't matter how resliliant a system is, it is ALWAYS easier to tear something down than to build it up. Think of a sand castle or legislation. Lol
I blame the forefathers. They set up a constitution with literally ZERO requirements for Prez except age 35 and US born citizen. That’s it. I mean, c’mon….most employers in the 1700s had job qualification requirements. Forefathers were fucking naive that only “good men” step up for office.
Right? Like, Biden tried to cancel student debt unilaterally and wasn't allowed, but this guy can actively flout the Constitution and that's just fine? 🤬
Agree. And THIS SUPREME COURT
look it wasn't a bad idea, it worked for so long. It's just got out of hand
1. A president with this kind of blank check from congress and to an extent the courts would be able to accomplish a lot of good things.
2. It is ALWAYS MUCH EASIER to destroy something than it is to build it. This is not some quirk of the US system.
You joke but…
Applies to the economic system as well. We just can't have anything nice, but the constant option between slowly going worse or doing the worst altogether all at once
