Leaving the World Health Organization is terrifying
Goddammit we were all warned about this MULTIPLE fucking times.
- "I'll be a dictator on day one."
Meh, most of it will be challenged in court.

That's one of the first things I noticed with his previous try; For all of Obamas flaws, it at least seemed that everything was thought through with lawyers in the loop to make sure the execitive orders had a reasonable chance of surviving a legal challenge.

And then this clown comes along and gives the impression that he handed someone a post-it that said "no moar muzleems!!!111one"
- how is it that everyone seems to have forgotten about this: https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/23pdf/23-939_e2pg.pdf
  
  trump owns the judicial branch and they put him above the law.
- Challenged in court? The bloody dude was announced above the law BY THE SUPREME COURT. As long as he OFFICIALLY kills all opposition, he's got a full green light on everything. The only thing stopping him will be military officers refusing orders that are too fucking outlandish. Tho I doubt the police will care too much.
  
  Immunizing Trump as an individual from prosecution related to acts performed as President, while deeply problematic, will not prevent legal challengs his EO's. Striking down a president's EO is completely different than convicting a president with a crime.
- That's why he's been stacking the courts for the last eight years.
  
  Considering how much time it took Obamas orders to even get to the Supreme Court, it can be as biased as he wants it: There's no way they'll get through all of it in a timely manner. Plus, there are still state courts.
- Oh sure the courts will sure stop him guys! He won't totally just, do whatever the fuck he wants
  
  yeah, they'll put him in jail, you'll see! With all the things he did that won't be long! Very soon! Right?
They appear to be flying the Ferengi flag, sir.
- Pakled
- Looks like a bunch of KKK hoods to me
  
  Or a metal band logo
- Is that supposed to say Donald Trump..? Serious question because it definitely doesn’t say that at all no matter how bad your writing is..

  I think it says DonaldJHamberders
  
  I can see it, coming from being around boomer executive types. It’s a testosterone piss mark like the crushing handshake.
  
  And not to be a downer, but I was taught that way too. Not the aggressive ink and strokes from Trump (lol, mic drop), but the obfuscation. Back when cheques were big anyway.
  
  I was actually taught first, getting my first account as a kid, that you could sign as Superman or X as long as you just kept doing it. Kinda shaped me.
I read that as “flurry of executions”, and though “sounds plausible”
- Because he already did that.
