Hard to take a man with a macaroni mustache seriously, but he’s right!

The Constitution isn’t the problem, the lack of enforcement of said Constitution is. A law isn’t bad because it isn’t being properly enforced.
No alteration to the Constitution to “strengthen” it would likely work here because the problem isn’t the document, it’s the people charged with upholding up.

I think it is but it requires that “good men” not be indifferent

The constitution assumes that the 3 branches are all going to constantly vie for more power and authority with the judiciary also playing the arbiter and ref role. It’s breaking down now because politicians and judges no longer care about the separation of power and prioritise party over states’ or individuals’ rights.

The framers of the constitution never imagined the people would elect a president so manifestly unsuited to the job. Maybe the framers imagined that voters would generally be educated and well informed and incapable of being so badly hoodwinked.
If I had a time machine, I would go back and show them a few hours of Fox News.

That is why you impeach and deport to the ICC for war crimes.

If you don’t enforce the constitution then you get Trump; it’s that simple.

Exactly. We’re going to need Constitutional amendments to prevent this in the future.

The Constitution is perfectly well designed to handle a corrupt president—but the framers didn’t imagine that Congress would be complicit. The problem is that our system cannot handle a corrupt party.

i hate the revolving door of sycophants who do atrocious things for Trump and then have a lucrative career tut tutting the asshole later. you are responsible for this!

We’re here because of the Electoral College, which was adopted, not because it was a genius idea, but because the Founding Fathers couldn’t agree on any of the better options.

Nothing to do with the constitution. The problem is that all three branches of government are complicit.
It’s really the inevitable downfall of a two party system.

Constitution is a mess. It needs to be re-written. This should never be allowed to happen. It’s just ridiculous.

The constitution is perfectly capable of dealing with Trump. It is not capable of dealing with a situation where 40% straight up supports what is happening and those people are aligned with the rural small state bias of the EC and Senate.

trump isn’t even the problem. he’s a fucking idiot. the real evil isn’t even the republicans hiding their heads in the sand. it’s the fucking heritage foundation fuckers driving the agenda

Yeah that’s like blaming the instruction manual. Absolutely bullshit, dead on arrival argument. The problem isn’t the constitution. No. The problem is that our representatives have all willingly removed their balls/ovaries, placed them in a golden bucket, and then gave them to a conman to put in a drawer of the Resolute desk.

The framers of the constitution could never have imagined this guy would be sporting this moustache in 2025.
We are in uncharted waters, god help our republic.

US Constitution presumes that there will always be at least 2 branches in obedience and adherence. It did not predict 2 being simultaneously corrupt, let alone all three.
The REPUBLICAN PARTY has enabled this. They are all treasonous & traitorous.

Yeah and you helped him you scumbag, so sick of allowing revisionist history.

Jefferson did say in a letter to Madison that the Constitution should be rewritten every 19 years…
But he thought that about all laws because he didn’t think the rules of a previous generation should be automatically assumed as correctly representing what the new generation believed to work for them.

It would be, but it’s not adequate to deal with an entire evil party that takes control of all branches of government. And I don’t know what the answer would be for that

Sure it is, but nobody has the balls to enforce it.

All laws are for the reasonable citizen, not people like Trump. Imagine if our laws were modelled around the behaviour of psychopaths. We would need 10x the police force with surveillance and spot-checks everywhere.
And also, the framers were never a fan of true democracy, making the Senate and Presidency a choice by landowners only.
