Because we're living through the collapse of the American empire where the majority of politicians are blatantly corrupt and no longer care about hiding it.

Nah, we're about to see the beginning of the American empire.

Careful, if trump gets into office you might legally see his unlimited power

At what point does his vice president throw him off a walkway on the Death Star?

[-] TheLadyAugust@lemmy.world 28 points 5 months ago

If the vice president kills him, and they become the president. Was it an official act making them immune?

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 13 points 5 months ago

They weren't president when they did it, so no. But the new president could just pardon himself if the GOP approved of the assassination, since the 6 SCROTUS's would say it's legal to do so.

"I will make it legal." -Future VP becoming President

SCROTUS: "It benefits the GOP regime, so we'll allow it."

Incapacitate the president, invoke 25th, then proceed with immunity

Edit: NOT LIKE THAT

[-] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 months ago

One club with a wrench... "I hear by invoke the 25th" next club, ahem, that was an official act.

[-] InternetUser2012@lemmy.today 2 points 5 months ago

He could have you killed for that comment.

[-] Scubus@sh.itjust.works 3 points 5 months ago

This did not age well

In the classical sense of the word imperialism there's already been a lot of the American Empire.
