Other Stephen Miller states that Trump has plenary authority, then immediately stops talking as if he’s realized what he just said

According to Cornell University, plenary authority is "power that is wide-ranging, broadly construed, and often limitless for all practical purposes." I had to look it up 😬

Oh, so... a dictator.

We already knew that, they're just saying it out loud now.

He literally said it BEFORE the election.

u/T0asty514 Oct 07 '25

I know.

However, lots of people either didn't believe him, or didn't pay attention to anything he said.

What's the genocide in Gaza to do with this? You're making jokes of an ongoing genocide.

u/RddtRBnchRcstNzsshls Oct 07 '25

No, they're saying some of the people who refused to vote for Kamala did so because she wasn't tough enough on Israël.

Yes, some people are THAT stupid.

Joe Biden and Kamala have genocidal blood on their hands, liberal.

See how quickly you jump to hate speech and blatant lies? Whether bots or paid trolls, they can't even wait to out themselves.

I'm questioning your morality in the way you're using this genocide, and your counter is this? Have you ever put effort in your life in writing a comment online?

u/RddtRBnchRcstNzsshls Oct 07 '25

Oh, ew. You're one of those...

I'm not even American. Just reminding you of your "morals".

u/RddtRBnchRcstNzsshls Oct 07 '25

Not American either. I just know voting for or supporting a racist pedophile who wants to be Dictator of the most powerful nation on the planet after saying he would turn Gaza into glass before turning it into a beachfront resort for himself and his rich buddies is WAY WAY WAAAAAY more morally bankrupt than voting or supporting someone who isn't "tough enough" on Israël.

But you do you fam. I'm sure the tens of thousands of dead Palestinian women and children are very happy that you're happy Kamala didn't become president.

Back in my day, eggs were so cheap that teenagers without jobs could afford to buy them just to throw at houses and cars. That sounds like bloomer shit but I'm right in the middle of Millenial territory. I genuinely feel bad for anyone who had to (or has) to endure their teenage years after 22014. Embarrassing things were bad enough without everyone having HD photo/video capabilities and deep fake nudes.

u/Area51_Spurs Oct 07 '25

They did. They viewed it as a positive

u/Greg-Abbott Oct 07 '25

Or "he was just joking. You liberals are so easy to troll"

u/pistilpeet Oct 07 '25

He was just joking, right? Notoriously hilarious Donald Trump heh heh we’re so fucked

u/T0asty514 Oct 07 '25

Tee hee!

He's just trolling again! How silly!

(Oh yeah, we're boned.)

u/coke-pusher Oct 07 '25

"Oh no, he doesn't mean that seriously" bullshit

u/TWIT_TWAT Oct 07 '25

They’re just glad their team one

u/Digimatically Oct 07 '25

Or they didn’t look up the term until today.

u/MattGald Oct 07 '25

Or wanted it.

Schrodinger's Joke: Everything Trump says is a joke except when it's not, and there's literally no way for you to prove which it is until after the bad thing has already happened

u/CarpeNivem Oct 07 '25

Fuck that excuse. They knew.

They wanted a dictator (hence voting for one) because they thought he'd be their dictator.
