Gas Bandit's Political Thread V: The Vampire Likes Bats

The people cheering Trump would be real mad at this if they had any critical thinking ability at all. Sadly they don't.
Also, they know it’s a double standard. And they’re fine with it. The phrase “you don’t get to pick and choose when the Constitution matters” means jack shit to them, because they are not sincere when they complain about rule of law, activist judges, or whatever. It is just simple “I want a dictator with my worldviews” mindset.

They would be quite happy if Trump were declared king, the U.S. renamed Amerikistan, and democracy dies so long as liberals are sad, black/brown people are in cages, women can’t vote, and homesexuality is forbidden under penalty of death.

Oh for fucks' sake someone yeet these people into a volcano already.

[White House press secretary] Karoline Leavitt Boasts Trump Wouldn’t Hesitate to Arrest SCOTUS Justices
"...would you ever arrest somebody higher up on the judicial food chain, like a federal judge or even a Supreme Court justice?” Fox News reporter Peter Doocy asked.
Leavitt said no judge is safe from the administration’s crackdown on the judiciary.
Trump: "We need Courageous JUSTICE in our Country,” the president wrote. “If the Courts don’t allow what we have been allowed to do for 250 years, America can no longer be the same.”
Hmm...there's a good question. Exactly what have we been allowed to do for 250 years? Oh, right. Someone even wrote it all down.
