Exactly, that seems like the reasonable reading of the statement to me

While we can all agree Trump is an ass, I think you’ve misunderstood this statement.
He’s not saying “it’s important that republicans don’t vote if we fail to solve the election fraud”, he’s saying “it’s important to solve the fraud, because otherwise next time republicans won’t be allowed to vote”.
He’s claiming that republican votes won’t be counted, or that they won’t be allowed to place a vote at all, because the democrats will have rigged the system and/or deprived them of the right to vote
I was about to dismiss that out of hand, presuming you just didn’t know the film, but I think you’re right. His face is too wide, and the hairline doesn’t match the original footage.
I’m simultaneously impressed by a pretty slick edit, and bewildered that anyone would put in the effort
Edit: and now I look like an idiot, because OP swapped the gif for a original. I swear guys, it was uncanny
True, I didn’t consider that. He’d still have to convince them though, which would be easier said than done if he wanted to entirely disregard the constitution
No. The ruling seems to have said that he can do anything he likes in his capacity as president, and he can’t be convicted of any criminal offence for it. It didn’t say that the people around him would have to go along with it, or that they’d be immune from prosecution.
It also left convenient wriggle room for the court to arbitrarily decide what constituted “official” actions, rather than him doing something privately, so they’ve effectively granted themselves a get out of jail free card to decide case-by-case in the future
There’s no need to leave earth, just lift it into a medium earth orbit. There are literally thousands of kilometres in between low earth orbit (where there are lots of communications, spy, navigation and weather satellites) and geosynchronous (where there are lots of communications satellites), and outside of those two there’s virtually nothing there
That’s going to be a problem whatever solution you come up with, because of the federated nature of the lemmy system.
There’s no central authority to hand out usernames, so if two people sign up to different instances with the same username, any design which didn’t attach instance name to each username would fail. The only way around it would be for each instance to contact every other instance which exists, including the ones which haven’t federated yet, and negotiate ownership of the new username, and that’s just not possible
