President Donald Trump
I assume it's still acceptable to have a Trump thread in a Politics forum?
So this is an obvious lie - basically aimed at
Everyone did do it. Thats a big part of why housing is so unaffordable right now and why I say that BlackStone's* (not blackrock) impact is overblown. Because Covid loop bros probably own 5x more houses than large corporations
In VHCOL areas where there was a bottleneck on development. That’s what happens when you create dumb market bottlenecks.
But yes, it’s not something you can dabble in to make money, you have to specialize and make sure the margins are right. I’ve seen the issue play out again and again. The only non-market solutions would crash the housing market and cause people to lose a lot of net worth.
how long can our democracy survive a president who says out loud that he is above the law?

JFC that's some tired ****.
Is this the best you got vs the current cockwomble who has pardoned insurrectionists that killed/maimed cops defending the capitol, and is ok with ICE shooting a woman in the face cos she didn't follow one of several conflicting ICE commands and one of them got mad about not complying?
Eh, I'm putting you on ignore. I strongly suggest everyone do the same, you're a fool.
TACO will pardon his kids on the way out too.
....if not, we will have a lot of fun ****ing destroying the rest of their lives
Comparing the legal, yet abusive use of the presidential pardon power to what Trump is doing is ******ed, nuthouse.
Even Biden's abusive pardons don't hold a candle to Trump's, and Trump is just getting started and will preemptively blanket pardon everyone in his administration and family.
The good news is they'll have to reexamine the presidential pardon power since Trump is illustrating that you can just hire all the criminal *******s you want, pillage the country (as well as other countries), and pardon everyone upon your exit.
Presidential pardon has to go, frankly. As does this 'immune from prosecution' nonsense. This immune from prosecution as a principle, and pardons from serving sentences by anyone outside the justice system, is for autocrats. No one should be above the law in a healthy democracy. Why on earth is it allowed in the US?
mousenuts loves the Donald because the Donald lets rich people do whatever they want. Rape, steal, murder, you name it.

Agree

The intention is good and even Trump has used it in spirit with its intended use, but clearly this has been abused and needs to be changed - probably have to go the way of how some states allow governors pardon and have to be approved by a pardon board.
It isn't and never was a democracy, it's an oligarchy and has been since its foundation, and he's correct-- US presidents are above the law.
I might be naive, but I honestly never felt this before now.
No it hasn't been an oligarchy - because the previous people in charge have stuck to democratic norms. It's been a democracy with big gaps that could be exploited to get around the democratic elements, and Trump has shown exactly those gaps to allow it to veer into oligarchy/autocracy with relative ease.
Trump's gonna need approval from congress if he wants to hit Venezuela again
Trump's gonna need approval from congress if he wants to hit Venezuela again
Good luck with that.
Trump's gonna need approval from congress if he wants to hit Venezuela again
No dawg
Trump's gonna need approval from congress if he wants to hit Venezuela again
Nah
The effort is seen as largely symbolic however, as the resolution faces a steep climb in the US House and almost no prospect of surviving a likely veto by Mr Trump.
Future generations of Americans will be grateful to Trump for almost single-handedly giving America: Cheap Venezuelan oil, free passes to Gaza Theme Park, Greenland, Canada and Cuba.
Just sayin'
