‘I don’t need international law’: Trump says power constrained only by ‘my own morality’

The morality of f*cking kids?
Says the most amoral person to ever walk the earth.
Wow, wow! So just because his best mate for decades was a convicted paedo and trafficker
AND that they both enjoyed their 'wonderful secrets'
AND he's a racist
AND a confirmed rapist
AND has many criminal convictions
AND is an unregistered kiddie fiddler
AND has no positive personality traits whatsoever
AND is devoid of basic empathy, and any emotion that a decent person has, then that makes him amoral?
Just leave the tiny handed orange paedo alone!!!
If there is no international law then is open season too for his head.
I'm not seeing how the two are related. Isn't the resentment brewing at home already a ground for said open season?
If there is no international law anyone can put a target on his head if it suits their ends. Not just US citizens but anyone.
C'mon, I know there's a drunken angry bitter Canuck with a fine long rifle who can do the US a solid. The only requirement is that you have three names. Y'know like Robert Joe Whippens or Alvin James Wayhay.
What kind of morals include raping children?
A rich person whose been bailed out at every turn has a sense of morality that it'll all just work out in his favor. So raping kids just isn't that big a deal to him.
Sounds to me like I no longer need to listen to federal law, and let my morality dictate my actions. And that morality says that Trump and every Republican party member needs a bullet to the head.
"If only if only," the woodpecker sighed.
Oh neat I don't get this reference. What's the work this line is from?
The book "Holes"
Fuck guess it's time for a reread. Thanks.
Here's the full quote:
"If only, if only, " the woodpecker sighs "The bark on the trees was as soft as the skies" As the wolf waits below, hungry and lonely He cries to the moo-oo-oon, "If only, if only"
Nope it's been too long, at least 20 years since I've read it. So the memory of the passage and context are lost to me at this moment. Though I do joke with my wife that she's my Zero. (I'm of German descent married to a Jewish latino, so you can imagine how current events are an issue for me.)
No you see national law is still in effect. Just not international
Does it make you feel better to say stuff like this knowing full well you won't do anything? Catharsis?
Probably. And, you first.
If you're spending the day calling out hypocrites, it's going to be a long, and unproductive day.
Buddy I've been suicidal since I was 7. My life only has meaning because of my wife. It's not hypocrisy that stays my hand but wisdom. A martyr is worthless without a group willing to finish the goal, so currently I'm manufacturing consent.
Don't project your cowardice unto me.
You know modern medicine has made great strides. Just. Sayin'.
Clever way to call me insane, I assume? If that is your meaning, are you one of the historically-illiterate loons that think we're going to somehow vote our way out of this? Is that how the NAZI's fell from power, they were just voted out? I'm sure the 6 million Jewish folks (and another couple million of "undesirables") would have loved that ability.
I hope you keep up this snark when its your family being shot, raped, and enslaved. You'll need all jokes you can get.
Er, no I was jut saying I hope you can get to a good place. There’s ways to do that now that didn’t exist even a few years ago.
Oh, I wouldn't worry about that. I'm in a good place, and have built up various coping mechanisms to keep me alive thus far. A mix of Childhood Trauma and chemical imbalance is all. It also makes me see the world as it is, not as I wish it to be. I apologize for assuming snark, that's on me.
Well yeah, but Doctors do take an oath.
I was genuinely asking, but ok.
It did not come off that way. It came off snarky.
Delusions of grandeur much? Next he’s going to tell us he’s Jesus and he needs sacrifices of girls under 15 to stop the nuclear apocalypse.
Even delusions of adequacy would be ill-founded in his case.
Mans got delusions of subpar performance
So.... nothing. In regards to him and his capacity for morality, he's constrained by nothing.
According to the Epstein files he murdered a baby by taking it from a 13yo's arms and throwing it into the lake.
Just to add to your point that he's constrained by nothing.
How did this whole planet come to be about the needs of just one man ?
$
Basically? Chimpanzees evolved into smarter violent monsters and after a while developed ways to be insanely violent while not triggering a large percentage of their species empathy responses.
Oh ok. So the country's leader doesn't need laws. I mean, if he insists.
Will no one rid us of this turbulent president?
Nope! The concept of sovereignty requires us to do it ourselves. Nobody is coming to save us.
Who said it wouldn't be an American citizen?
