    Duke Nukem would 100% murder the shit out of Trump.

    The Duke is a successful businessman for one, women actually want to be with him and, most important, he is not a fucking pedo.

    I’m not very familiar with this character, but I’m guessing that Duke Nukem would only go to Epstein Island once.

    And the only ones coming back would be him and the victims he rescued.

    And after that… “Call me Santa, because I have a list and I’m checking it twice… except no one on here is any bit nice.”

As soon as he said it everyone knew “oh god the president is shidding himself RIGHT NOW”… and then he said it again and held bros hand looked deeply into his eyes and bro looked back at him as if to say “yes Mr president, let’s get you to the changing room!”

      I thought it was the lady scratching under her nose. Seemed like she was trying to convey that it’s gonna be smelly.

    Declarations. Executive orders. Not bills.

    Bills create law. He ain’t doing that. Most of what he does is not legal.

        I hate to be the Akshually guy but they’re truly not laws. They’re directives for the federal agencies under the control of the executive branch. They have the " force of law " (assuming they’re aligned with the constitutional authority of the president) but they’re not laws.

        They don’t create crimes, do budgets, or override congress.

            law is the profession of specifics… it’s not sophistry; it’s technicality

            just like trump is not a convicted rapist: he was convicted of sexual assault

                the law is not intended to deceive. the words are complex by necessity, but complexity is not sophistry

                  i think i see the problem. i think you’re an Aussie. in your legal system that might actually be true. i’m in statesia. in a past life i wrote a few entries in the Code of Federal Regulations, if that gives you some guess to the quality of the thinking in there. looking for sense in the government is the quickest path to insanity

            I’m not though. They’re truly different things and I promise I’m not arguing in bad faith.

            The differences I mentioned are material, especially that an executive order cannot arbitrarily criminalize something.

              i think it’s that we’re arguing from different perspectives. for most people, a law is a regulation is a procedure is an executive order. they all carry about the same weight. when you actually deal with legal specifics the differences matter but to most folk they’re cinnamon rolls.
