  - I declare myself emperor. -- nm - Joe Biden Jan 18, 08:41 1
    - Quite literally the day SCOTUS rules that Presidents are fully immune from crimes. -- nm - Jovian Jan 18, 08:42
- we've managed to be fine without immunity till now. wonder what's changed??? -- nm - 🏳️‍🌈 mandy chem 🏳️‍🌈 Jan 18, 08:31 2

    - Yup. I've ended up blocking posters here for this reason. I can't keep adding to the mute list so the person just gets blocked. -- nm - spamlet Jan 18, 09:06
  - I wish you wouldnt -- nm - mud Jan 18, 08:36 14
    - Why? Hitler gained power because no one stopped him early. Trump's progression isn't any different. -- nm - Andie Jan 18, 08:38 13

        Aside from being as grating on the eyes as constantly seeing vulgarity/profanity, - Max Jan 18, 09:07
        
        Ok, and it passes a mental load on to the people processing it, without actually changing things. - Reagen Jan 18, 08:55
        
        we see the parallels, obviously. It's the 1930s, we don't want to see it become the 1940s with nukes. -- nm - mud Jan 18, 08:49
      - I agree with the sentiment and all that, but seeing the name over and over? The next year will be tough enough without that . - mud Jan 18, 08:42 3

        Its insane that we are all alive to see history repeat itself like this. -- nm - Jovian Jan 18, 08:45
  - and everyone else should as well. -- nm - Jovian Jan 18, 08:23 1
    - nah. you’re among like-minded friends here, even our more conservative folks see him for what he is. what’s the point, when his name alone works? - i.b.! Jan 18, 09:03
