An issue Dems should pursue is Trumpās proclivity for saying everything he spouts that draws protest from legal and ethical circles is a ājokeā and he really didnāt mean it. How the hell you hold someone accountable for their public presentation of policies and ideas when all they have to say is it was a joke is a puzzle. Iād like Nadler to ferret out the admin officials that overheard Trump promise to pardon Kevin McAleenan for breaking immigration laws, seemingly such an affront to the rule of law it needs investigated. But even if they were found, and testified Trump was serious as hell, what good would it do if Trump claimed they overheard a joke? Claiming something youāve said is a joke damned near renders you unaccountable for an entire slew of offenses.
Order a Marine sniper to kill Bernie Sanders? Ha, canāt believe the guy took me seriously, I was joking!! Har, har, har!! What, you want to question me even suggesting it in the first place?! Why, I was clearly joking?!!
I mean, WTF?
If he issued an official presidential statement (which twitter apparently is) that they have the right to do it, there must be a legal analysis backing that up, right?
Dems request documents and Trump will refuse to do send them. So then Dems will send a subpoena which will get ignored, precipitating a court fight. And by the time the case is settled, weāll be well into 2020, with a thousand other issues to fight over.
This canāt be the best way to run government.
Thatās a faulty progression of events. Dems THREATEN to issue subpoenas, but they never actually do it.
Living in a Sanctuary City, I see nothing wrong with this proposal as long as the Mercury emissions resulting from the EPAās relaxation of Mercury and Air Toxic Standards all get channelled into the air and water of districts that voted for Trump.
To varying degrees thatās already been arranged.
What if they send an official request for everything he says? Please let us know if he was joking or if he was serious. If this a a serious policy proposal, please send us the documents and research so that we can develop an informed opinion. If this is a joke, please let us know.
Then, when one of the ājokesā becomes real, they can ask for the documentation and an explanation of when and why they changed their minds.
Stupidest man on the planet has no idea that once his plan is realized, which it wonāt be, those same migrants can wander away from the sanctuary cities or even cross the borders of sanctuary states and go wherever they want to if they have the means.
The stench of a fight over documents will pervade the trumpp campaign, adding to the already noxious fumes we know itāll emit.
I figgered that u saw it like I did.
Now itās hilarious, cause he ābāes n moansā about ācatch n releaseā, butā¦
āCatch and releaseā, something thoughtful fishermen do.
Just more Trump B.S. to deflect from the main event: release of the Mueller report.
Thereās no doubt Trump will take any cheap wins that people are willing to give him and, that being said, we cannot lose sight of the main issue, which is getting this criminal out of office.
The worst part is that relocating immigrants to cities is a perfectly sensible policy, if done correctly with a view towards creating wealth in communities while helping people.
Everything wrong about it stems from The Rump, governing by what he imagines will piss off Democrats the most. And he even gets THAT WRONG!!!
Rump publicans canāt seem to make up their minds. Are they the party of disorganized labor, pissed off at immigrants taking away their jobs? Or are they the party of organized capital, bitching about fat, lazy, drug addicted Americans who donāt want to work as hard or cheap as people from those āMexican Countries?ā They canāt be both.
Well, they technically do after waiting 3 months. So we can expect subpoeas for this to come out in July.
Itās a pretty good way to run government into the ground, which is the GOPās goal. All that will remain afterward will be markets and money, which is what everyone from Wilbur Ross to the Libertarian-curious man on the street wants.
