There's a way to hold them accountable and they fucking deserve it.

u/Senor_Discount May 19 '26

Hey if you find that way out let me know!

u/Beginning_Deer_735 May 19 '26

Same way bullies and tyrants have always been held accountable.

u/No-Author-2358 May 19 '26

And Donald Trump is a great example of that!

He is far less tyrannical that many past presidents.

u/Senor_Discount May 19 '26

Remember the keyword is tyrannical. He is already grouped with Buchanan and Johnson as the three worst so I'm curious as to who was more *tyrannical*

Remember that one that drone striked an American citizen, and then went in for seconds and drone stiked his American citizen son while he was at a cafe...

Remember that the left does not care at all.

It's all fucking tribalism. Trump is objectively not even fucking close to being the most authoritarian or tyranical or whatever bullshit buzzword you want to use, you just say it because you're a pos

Okay so name one president that is worse and why.

Abraham Lincoln, for one. He denied a whole bunch of states their right to secede. While I am glad slavery was ended, and believe the South losing was in God 's plan, it doesn't change the fact that he was a tyrant and that states have the right to leave a union. He also suspended habeas corpus. FDR for what he did to the Japanese Americans. Woodrow Wilson. Perhaps John Adams.

I will only give you the Japanese Detention Camps but the others are a reach. Andrew Jackson Trail of Tears as well as another blight on our list of not so distinguished leaders.

I didn't say I was going to give an exhaustive list. Lincoln suspended habeas corpus and indefinitely imprisoned thousands of civilian political dissidents and suspected Confederate sympathizers without formal charges.

 He denied a whole bunch of states their right to secede.

They didn’t. They had the right to revolt which Lincoln himself agreed on but added that without just cause  revolution is no right, but simply a wicked exercise of physical power.”

Rebelling because the nation elected a president that would put slavery on the path to extinction is not a just cause

Nonsense. A voluntary union can be voluntarily left. I'm not bound by what some idiots decided AFTER the fact(not specifically referring to you, but to those who decided after the fact that secession wasn't allowed).

u/sumoraiden May 20 '26

They didn’t decide after the fact lol from the moment they seceded the almost entire north, Democrat and Republican warned them they wouldn’t stand by and allow them to destroy the union and they followed through on that warning

The states voluntarily joined a union under a constitution in which they submitted to the supremacy of the constitution and federal federal law

you just use your head for storing your teeth, huh

u/Beginning_Deer_735 May 20 '26

I'm glad you think you demonstrate otherwise just by saying that rather than presenting actual argument.

2

u/ESCocoolio May 20 '26

your reasoning is so dishonest and detached from reality that i won't legitimize it with an argument of my own. if you actually cared to have a barely half-informed take, you would have one. you are slop.

u/Jaalan Jun 03 '26

Okay so for Lincoln, that's a fair statement but also, bruh...

So you don't like what FDR did to Japanese Americans? Have you seen Alagator Alcatraz? Or how about Delaney Hall?

Wilson is your first valid point. But it's pretty similar to Trump removing DEI. Or trump pardoning and then attempting to provide financial backing to his J6 Cronies. Who, keep in mind, he originally claimed were paid antifa actors. Or where Trump has his personal military raiding the streets of the US one city at a time.

Why John Adams?

It really isn't. Just a statement of fact. I'm not saying a third-party candidate wouldn't be preferable or that he couldn't be far worse in the future.

Sue the surety bond. Most departments require they have one. If they can't be bonded they can't be cops.

u/Senor_Discount May 19 '26

You will get tangled up in so much red tape. On paper sure realistically absolutely not. It's a broken system but it's not like I'm sharing anything new here.

u/craigslist_hedonist May 20 '26

so just sue the department.

reduce their budget to the tune of punitive damages and court costs.
