That is so incredibly petty. I like it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 43 minutes ago

One step further. Declare he was in fact as stated president in exile and Biden was never president and thusly he cannot run for a third term.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 52 minutes ago

Also stack 50 more judges to the supreme court. Also drone strike Trump with a nuke as that has been declared legal.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

could she, with the scrotus ruled immunity, void the election and have trump and his team arrested for treason?

[–] [email protected] 20 points 3 hours ago (2 children)

yes, she could.

but so could Biden.

he would be the better choice though.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 hours ago

Do it, and then step down.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 hours ago

be more of a dig on the orange shitstain if she did it though

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

I think that would be hilarious

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

Might as well since their whole platform is to troll everyone.

So do her like Kim Campbell? I love the burn to MAGA but she deserves better than that. The first woman president of the US deserves better than that. Sadly I also agree that while unpurchased merch is possible, its also likely that Trump will just make more money off this.

Re Kim Campbell:

Campbell became the new prime minister in June 1993 after Mulroney resigned in the wake of declining popularity. In the 1993 Canadian federal election in October of that year, the Progressive Conservatives were decimated, losing all but two seats from a previous majority, with Campbell losing her own. Her 132-day premiership is the third-shortest in Canadian history.[a]

45 + 47 equals 92. just thought i’d share that math fact if anybody was interested

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Fun fact, n + (n+2) = 2n + 2

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago

Fun fact, 2n + 2 = 2(n + 1)

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 hours ago

So smart, much wise.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 hours ago

This is absolutely brilliant.

Biden should do an "official act", then resign immediately afterwards.

Like expanding the Supreme Court

[–] [email protected] 19 points 7 hours ago

Expand the Supreme Court to 200 people, appoint the most progressive persons out there. Federally legalize marijuana and drop all restrictions on it. Forgive all student and medical debt. Raise the federal minimum wage to $30/hr. Tax all rental income at 4,000%.

Sure it would probably all get undone before the Toupee hit 100 days in office, but what a sweet couple months that would be.

I was thinking long range lobotomy.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 8 hours ago (5 children)

My 85 year old German mother-in-law (born in 1939 and moved to Canada around 1960), suggested the same thing.

(PS I'm an American living in Canada)

During his first term at the gym this little old lady was working out on the treadmill next to me and when Kelly Ann Conway came on the tv, she leans over and goes, oh that lady shouldn't be alive. (paraphrasing to not get banned)

Ah yes, yes...that's exactly what I meant.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 9 hours ago

And removing the "presidential power to pardon".

[–] [email protected] 27 points 9 hours ago (3 children)

I love the idea but hate the thought they would just reprint and make more money.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 hour ago

It's all drop shipped from China anyway. I ordered a custom flag from Amazon and it cost $15.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 6 hours ago

Yeah, but we would get to say we had a female president.

It's honestly the least he could do. Sure he was a good president with good policies but keeping your head down and fixing things that the GOP are only going to claim credit for isn't helpful at the moment. The DNC has managed to turn decades of good will and evaporate it into nothing. So yes, giving us this small inconsequential win would not be too big of an ask.

Another wild thought: Biden could test the limits of presidential immunity.

[–] [email protected] 77 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Joe Biden should see if squatters rights extend to the White House.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

I've been wondering how hilarious it would be if they pulled a Trump and just nope and say Kamala is the president.

First women president as an asterix is just sad.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 hours ago

Sadly its also how Canada got it's first and only woman prime minister.

Campbell became the new prime minister in June 1993 after Mulroney resigned in the wake of declining popularity. In the 1993 Canadian federal election in October of that year, the Progressive Conservatives were decimated, losing all but two seats from a previous majority, with Campbell losing her own.

fwiw she briefly had presidential powers a couple years ago when Biden was sedated for a medical procedure. Source.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Ehhh, "acting president" is not really PRESIDENT president, y'know?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 hours ago

The funny thing is reading the source article, when Trump had the same procedure, he didn't make Pence the acting president because he didn't trust Pence with presidential powers for even an hour.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 11 hours ago

I was thinking this too. Except he should do it right before Thanksgiving, so Kamala’s fist job as president is pardon the turkeys.

[–] [email protected] 37 points 12 hours ago

Oh no, those poor wealthy maga merch company owners would have to print something new knowing their cult would feel obligated to buy it?

Funny in theory but it'd just enrich the grifters. Yeah, the cult members deserve it...but I can't get behind furthering the wealth divide
