He said he would only be a "dictator for a day"...?

[kentuck]

Isn't that day up?

Is it time to go back to normal?

Nobody thought he would want to be a dictator every day?

But that seems to be the case. He is consolidating his power every single day.

If there were a true "balance of powers", he would be impeached today and out of office within a week.

If our government worked the way it is supposed to work.

But it doesn't work that way.

We are under the grip of a cult unlike any this nation has ever seen in our lifetimes.

Unfortunately, the cult is run by a criminal network.

It wasn't stated who you had to fight.

2. Don't look for the Republicans to stop him. I watched Grassley yesterday, he blamed Biden for Trump's behavior.

Unless the voters overwhelmingly appear to be ready to vote out Republicans, they will never change. And I have no faith in the voters refusing to vote R in the red areas.

3. With the two governmental checks and balances rendered impotent as they are (and I never thought I would hear myself say

this) at some point, it looks like the military maybe the last remaining balance check. That is somewhat disconcerting.

9. What a precarious position for a democracy to be in,....

..... dependent upon the military to restore and protect Constitutional order because all other governmental systems have failed us miserably.

Will such a move be what it takes to kick off the extreme rights long cherished - Civil War 2.0 ?

12. All of my speculations seem to have a draconian aspect.

11. The most cruel military in the world...

...can be the US military.

Do not wait for the military to arrive. Fear their arrival.

4. The press should ask him.

Which day were you dictator and what dictator stuff did you do?

[allegorical oracle]

5. Knew he was lying, as always. Kept hoping the media would "correct" his

statement to what it really intended: "I'll be dictator FROM day one."

[Buns_of_Fire]

6. I think he said "only on day one."

Plenty of room for interpretation there, in retrospect.

[kentuck]

7. Yep.

Only on "day one" and starting early.

And every day thereafter.

[JohnnyRingo]

8. ...And I said If he's allowed to be dictator on day one....

...he's allowed to be dictator on day two. That's how dictatorships work.

[Tommy Carcetti]

10. He'll stop trying to be a dictator tomorrow. nt
