Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

I predict Trump will succeed. Trump has to get through SCOTUS too. But what I think is funny is that the GOP SCOTUS justices turned Trump into Godzilla without even something limiting like control collar. How can you say "no" to Godzilla? He does whatever he wants. The GOP justices gave Trump the powers of a king. Criminal law doesn't apply to him. He can imprison, torture, or kill anybody. Even members of congress and their families or the justices themselves or their families.
Trump could just keep killing members of congress until the next one votes as he wants them to. I’d estimate about two or three dead predecessors before the next one gets the message.
Killing might not even be needed. Just a few minutes of waterboarding - with threats of doing it to their families - and any of them will be 100% broken and they'll do whatever he wants them to do.
