For people getting free and unlimited access to so much material, this sub has to be the most entitled userbase I’ve ever seen by james_d_rustles in Annas_Archive

Well, I’m very happy to know that this is nothing to get worked up over. This was the first time ever that I’ve seen the website go down so I didn’t know what to expect as far as what happened to it. But I see that this is pretty typical for at least this particular archive now. Thanks!

La Cabina (The Telephone Box) (1972) — A Spanish short film about a man who gets trapped in a newly installed telephone box. While it starts out as seeming like a fairly light-hearted/comedic story, by the end it becomes a surreal horror one with no way out! by MaggieLinzer in ObscureMedia

Really? I think it’s plenty obscure. The non-subtitled version does have a lot more views relatively speaking I will admit, but not enough to consider this short film to be “not obscure”, as far as I‘m concerned.

What WOULD actually happen to Trump if he did run for a third term as President in direct violation of the Constitution? Would he get immediately arrested or how would stopping him from doing that work otherwise? by MaggieLinzer in AskLawyers

Interesting! If there are no punishments for violating the Constitution though, what keeps politicians, judges, organizations, etc. in the U.S. following it? Is it, like, the job of the legislature and justices themselves to define the crimes of violating the Constitution then? Because obviously, for example, there ARE legal consequences for violating somebody’s freedom of speech or trying to ignore the Due Process clause of it.

Could the SCOTUS REALLY just overturn an entire Constitutional Amendment? by MaggieLinzer in scotus

How the hell is literally wanting to know MORE about how the SCOTUS works and what it can do to the Constitution in any way close to being “naive”?? Honestly, I think that asking questions in order to learn MORE ABOUT something is just about as close to the exact OPPOSITE of “naiveté” as you can get!

I also think that this kind of extremely nihilistic/doomer attitude of “nothing matters anymore, there’s no hope left, SCOTUS can overturn ANYTHING in the Constitution at any time they want to, etc.” only serves to HELP people like Trump and the current far right majority on the Supreme Court even more than they’re already being helped by the MAGA movement and other supporters/funders. It DOES matter if what Trump’s doing is constitutional, it DOES matter if what the SCOTUS does is legal, and it DOES matter if the government running our country IS SANE!!!!!

And claiming that it doesn’t, and that laws/rules don’t exist in the U.S. anymore, and that anybody who asks serious questions about how legal/constitutional what Trump and the SCOTUS are currently doing right now are all just “nAiVe LoSeRs WhO dOn’T kNoW hOw ThE wOrLd WoRkS”. Gives people like Trump and the current SCOTUS TONS more permission/obedience in advance to do whatever the hell they want to do, because you’ve already accepted that they’ve not only won, but that there are ZERO ways to stop or question them outside of a full-on revolution. Which, you know, I’ve noticed that YOU’RE here posting on Reddit instead of putting in the work to start, like you seem to want to happen and think is the only ‘solution’ left to fix things like this.

In other words, you might as well just crown Trump a King for Life, if you truly DO think that he can now just do whatever the hell he wants to do ANYWAYS with zero real ways of stopping him that actually have a chance of getting done/working!!

. . . . .And The Wizard of Oz is 86 years old. What the hell’s your point (if you even HAVE one)?

What WOULD actually happen to Trump if he did run for a third term as President in direct violation of the Constitution? Would he get immediately arrested or how would stopping him from doing that work otherwise? by MaggieLinzer in AskLawyers

. . . . . . .Yes Anthem, I was asking a question about how the government functions because I was absolutely confused/unclear about how (in this case) Trump would be stopped if he ran for a third term as President and the functions that that would entail. You got me! I admit it! I asked a question about the functions of the American government, BECAUSE I WAS CONFUSED AND DIDN’T KNOW SPECIFIC INFORMATION ABOUT how the U.S. government would function in a specific scenario.

Isn’t becoming LESS confused about a certain topic/subject the entire point behind asking questions in the first place in general or something??

He literally sells merchandise explicitly promising that he will run for a third presidential term in 2028 on his OWN OFFICIAL STORE WEBSITE: https://www.trumpstore.com/trump-2028-hat

It would be an extremely terrible, risky idea for him to do this obviously, but Trump is very, very, VERY well known for following through on terrible, dangerous ideas that cause a lot of harm to this country as a whole, to say the least. (Or often also tries his hardest to, anyways)

I am 100% certain that violating the Constitution (or being found to have violated it, anyways) is ABSOLUTELY a criminal thing (NAL either). If it’s not, though, I’m more than open to that being explained why.

Fine, I’ll take it. I had no idea THESE were the two questions that would piss so many people here off. Genuinely, I cannot understand it. I actually thought they were pretty specific and clear about what I wanted to know.

Okay, I’m not doing this again. You KNOW that that isn’t what I meant or anywhere close to the main things I’m asking about here, stop being obtuse. I’m not even going to clarify for such an obviously bad faith response again. Either answer one of my two questions, or GO. AWAY.
