He really suppose go to prison wtf
Venezuelan prison.
I am no legal expert, but I’m pretty sure that makes Juan Guiedo President of America.
It makes me feel really sad to see the USA go from 80s / 90s Era golden times into false wars, the murder of millions and now we just putting the building blocks in place to have a new form of the Nazi party.
The problem is that everyone is so Tribal now and fixed into their positions I can only see it escalating. I’m worried for my children.
To this kind of news, pessimists would say “it can’t get any worse than this.” Optimists would say “it can, it can.” TIL, “I can” is the new MAGA.
Text of the Foreign Emoluments Clause, U.S. Const. art. I, § 9, cl. 8.
“No Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under [the United States], shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.”
Thankfully his presidency over Venezuela is entirely self declared, so this is clearly not illegal then /s
We should bring him and every elected official that takes money from Israel up on charges
I recognize Delcy Rodriguez as the legal President of Venezuela, and I sincerely wish her the best of luck picking up where Maduro left off (in some way). Seriously!
Fine. I declare myself god. Checkmate.
Well I’m G∞D, checkermate.
I declare myself as One-above-god, checkmate on you, loser!
Well I declare myself One-above-god + 1! You are inferior deity!
When this era of terror is over, I hope we have Nuremberg style trials for all these wastes of humans. From the white house to the lawmakers who sat idly by and let this country falter, to the ice agents “just following orders”. And I hope we dismantle everything trump. No courts. No mercy. Globally. Cancel every contract they have given themselves and their friends. Corrupt judges out. End this Christian fascism. Every Trump aligned son of a bitch and bitch delta with
We should do it for invasions in middle east etc too while at it.
You are dreaming. USA did this TWICE. There is no turning back from this. The People of the USA seems to forget a lot in 4 years. So who will the next trump be, once the egg prices goes up again? USA will never be trusted again. They are in catagory with Russia and china.
The USA will be treated as even less trustworthy than Russia and China. Russia and China are of course untrustworthy but at least they are consistently untrustworthy. Everyone knows to give them a wide birth.
But the USA, they insinuated themselves into high-level defence pacts and international military cooperation. Then they decided to turn fascist and destroy everything for no readily apparent reason.
If there is going to be any repairing of fences, it’s going to have to start off with the US paying for all the damage they have done to the world order and all of the renegotiating of contracts that has had to be done because they didn’t feel like fulfilling their international obligations. And also justice, if the Trump admin don’t end up in prison then the rest of the world is going to see that for what it is. An attempt to defend the indefensible, and therefore an indication that they have not truly changed.
There had to be a World War for Nuremberg to happen. What my fear is instead of World War there will be a World Civil war.
I just thought about ww2, and I just realized how egregious it is that the Japanese and Italians sided with Nazis.
They thought “yes, mhm, we are on that side”.
Don’t sell Italy and Japan short.
Mussolini invented fascism, and did population-scale deployment of chemical weapons in Ethopia… Imperial Japan are absolutely an all-time G.O.A.T of horrific war crimes.
Their behavior was egregious, and that’s why they sided with the nazis.
A slight nitpick but Japan didn’t side with the Nazis. They had their own thing going on with China and simply saw the Nazis as an opportunity for some payback. It wasn’t like they really bought into the Nazi ideology as didn’t really apply to them. The Italians were all in on it though.
Had the war turned out differently there would have been a radical cultural difference between Nazi controlled Europe and Japanese controlled Asia. In the long run it would have probably led to another war because of the extreme cultural differences.
What is a “world civil war” and how is that different from a world war?
My understanding is that a “civil war” is a war within a country, for the dominance and rulership of that country, usually over ideals or laws or something. And a world war is just… a worldwide war. I wish my grandparents were still around to seek real advice on this, I truly miss them and their experience and wisdom.
They will be factions within countries fighting amongst each other. There maybe alliances amongst those factions but no nations against each other. The end an apocalyptic fragments of Nations
You could say that some of the national borders as they exist right now are needlessly artificial.
Take Spain and Catalonia for example. The only reason that Catalonia is not an independent country is because Spain won’t let them be. There’s no real reason other than Spanish national pride and if there was a war between the two you could classify it as a civil war or you could classify it as a war between two countries, it’s entirely a matter of opinion.
But I don’t think that US politics has any real bearing on whether or not that happens. Political instability in the United States doesn’t really lead to any obvious change in internal politics for other countries. External policies obviously would change but not internal ones.
Hope is nice. Class is manufactured
Oh man, I sure do hope some random fucking country doesn’t kidnap the new President of Venezuela.
America was always a nazi shithole, we just didn’t care because they made our elite rich and it was only brown people who were getting fucked over it.
Welcome to reality my frieds, a portion of us have been here for a long time. Kissinger should have been the only canary needed to see it, yet, here we are…
Yep, this is pretty true to form for U.S. intervention in Latin America. It just used to be done covertly by the CIA instead of plastered all over Twitter.
And an obligatory fuck Henry Kissinger.
True. This has been a huge wake up call.
America was always a Nazi shithole, but nobody noticed until they got online, and their cultural blindspot (education), made them afraid of anything new or different - including critical thinking, which the Russians exploited.
If he’s the president of Venezuela then let’s open up the border to them. Let them come in they’re American now.
This is actually a good argument .
The president of the USA can not be head of state of a different country. So they are either Americans or Donald trump accidentally abdicated the presidency.
Is there anything explicitly forbidding it? I can’t say I recall anything specific about it, but I admit I could be just forgetting a constitutional clause or something.
It is supposed to be covered in the emoluments clause https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign_Emoluments_Clause
It actually could be OK but congress will have to vote on it to allow it.
LOL the emoluments clause means nothing to Trump et al. He’s so bribed. It’s beyond fathom.
Yeah… still would like to see congress actually at least mention it.
No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States: And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.
He cannot “accept … [an] Office … from any … foreign State.” I suppose he might argue that “accepting” and “seizing by force” are not the same thing.
Or Congress could pass an act to allow it.
Edit: Or, more realistically, someone will complain to the Supreme Court and they’ll find a reason to avoid ruling on the issue and Sotomayor will write an angry dissent but nothing will change.
Argue? Why would he argue? He says it, it happens, nobody has a choice but to accept it, the legal system is defunct. We are living in upside down clown world now. The clown has his own Gestapo and nukes. Fucker needs to be taken out like week old fish in the bin.

That could be even worse. I’m not sure why this isn’t making the rounds… I’m not sure how true it is. I haven’t had time to look very deep.
I think this warrants additional investigation. I am unfamiliar with Lisa Voldang so I don’t know how to evaluate the veracity of the material.
Seems authentic to me
Well! That’s settles it then.
No idea what I think about this. It’s terrible as a concept. It’s dated 25 November. Has anything happened with it since?
It’s so sickening it almost seems like a twisted fan fiction.
He’s spiraling into a singularity of narcissistic terror over [Jeffrey] Epstein, and decompensating with performative dictatoring
Couldn’t have said it better.
He’s over Epstein. He decided fuck it, he’s going for total power so that whatever is said about Epstein he can just ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
I’m not convinced he cares that much about Epstein. As far as not liking anything that makes him look bad, sure. But he’s sending out armed thugs to murder Americans and getting away with it. Why should he care about being outed as a pedophile?
There must be something that he considers embarrassing, so obviously not pedophilia.
I don’t think he can feel embarrassment, only anger.
He doesn’t feel embarrassment, but he hates when other people don’t constantly sing his praises. Being a pedo subtracts from the cheering throngs. By a frighteningly small margin.
I think it needs to be something like him getting a blowjob from a man (or boy). That is something much of his base might consider unforgivable.
But also maybe something like being peed or shat or cummed on.
Nah, getting head from a man or a boy would still put him in a positivo of power, it’s been like this since time immemorial
You think Bubba came on his face? Lol
I heard something about his involvement in the case of a “disappeared” associate in Moscow, with that being Putins kompromat on him.
Being poor.
The lines between Hitler and Trump are becoming less and less blurred
It is almost like he told everyone that he was going to be a dictator on day one.
Technically he claimed that it would be ONLY on day one, but nobody ever actually believed that.
“Day one” was Groundhog Day.
Be a dictator on day one,
Use that day to remove all the barriers to remaining a dictator and also change the definition of dictator,
Profit!

Ah, you are this idiot:
“Dude I’m South Asian. As long as a Black man, South Asian man or a white man behaves and follows orders, it will be fine.”
Must be a troll, nobody is this dumb. I have no time for trolls, blocked.
In other comments they revealed themselves to be a full-blown Nazi just trolling.
They are now banned from Lemmy.ca
Ya, looked at their comment history and modlog. Getting banned left right and center. Mostly right though. Ha ha
Dunno about you buddy, but I don’t particularly like following orders eh
I think you mean more blurred, not less.
A less blurred line would be more distinct, providing a stronger, more obvious separation between the two.
A more blurred line is fuzzier, making it more difficult to tell where one ends and the other starts.
Well, 160 upvotes can’t be wrong
This is lemmy, everyone is always wrong
But he did a 360 so he same’d his changeness. J/k.
It’s not like he’s invading countries and throwing minorities into camps…
Or shooting women in the face
Or celebrating his jackbooted thugs murdering people.
Or hanging out in sex rings or taking drugs…
Did Hitler hang out in sex rings? I wasn’t aware of that. I think he was into water sports, but there’s nothing wrong with that.
No he was a better person like that.
If the man was still alive, he would be salivating for what it is being done right now. It’s the original agenda, on steroids, revised, fine tuned and turbo charged.
“You cannot beat the master of genocide and racial segregation” (Hitler, if he were alive today)
Hitler’s agenda borrowed heavily from US policies. The US experimenting on his own citizens went on for decades after Auschwitz was closed.
When he was elected I was very scared that my son would be old enough to be conscripted and die in a pointless war based on the time line compared to original Hilter.
Good news though! Looks like he won’t even get to live to see 10 years old! 👍
We’ll live to be old and so will our offspring. How the world will be by then is the great question.
It’s no longer a Venn Diagram, it’s just a circle.
I get what you’re saying from the context, but the way you phrases it makes it sound like it’s becoming more clearly defined that Trump is not Hitler. Generally, more “blurring of the lines” equates to a thing becoming less clearly distinguishable from another thing.
The venn diagram is becoming a circle.
Ya I maybe didn’t wrong. Y’all know what I mean. 😜🤣
If one circle is blurry, it can look like a Venn diagram.
As it gets more focused, it looks like the Venn just overlaps more than it did originally.
Then one day, everyone’s like “wait a minute, it’s been a single blurry circle the whole time” and everyone can see it.
It’s not common usage now, but has before. So maybe they switched it up on accident, but if it was intentuonal then it wasn’t necessarily wrong. They just meant as the differences get more defined, we realize they aren’t really differences.
Much like Argentina was a safe haven for Nazi’s, Trump is making Venezuela a safe haven for him and his mob.
It is often said that to truly be president of a place you must walk among the people unguarded to show that you’re in charge and not a big wuss
But he doesn’t even do that in America!
Dang that must suck to be a fake president of 2 places
Tbh I don’t think even the most loved US president should be comfortable without some security. The country is so big, there is always some crazy person with a gun.
