Can we apply advanced interrogation techniques and extreme vetting to Trump?

Law? We don’t need no stinkin’ law. We have alternate law now here in the Drumpf Reich…

They will just refer to it as some euphemism (ala “enhanced interrogation techniques”) and presto!

Just because torture is illegal doesn’t mean you can’t make it a matter of policy.
See: Cheney, Dick (R-Hades)

“Banned.” What a polite euphemism.

See, I told you there was widespread voter fraud (within the Rethugliklan party). It’s called the Ann Coulter method.

OT: THese people really have to be stopped.

Trump White House Senior Staff Have Private RNC Email Accounts

Senior Trump administration staffers including Kellyanne Conway, Jared Kushner, Sean Spicer and Steve Bannon have active accounts on a Republican National Committee email system, Newsweek has learned.

The system (rnchq.org) is the same one the George W. Bush administration was accused of using to evade transparency rules after claiming to have “lost” 22 million emails.

Thune: Torture Is Banned As ‘A Matter Of Settled Law’

Trump: So is abortion and voting by colored people.

Except when torture was banned under Cheney and Bush all they had to do is redefine it and Voila, Bob’s Your Uncle. No longer illegal.

All you need is a corrupt unethical lawyer like John Yoo to reinterpret ‘settled law’. Trump’s got plenty of those on retainer already.

Yes it’s true. They claim he tried to de-register or something and that he had moved in between registering in FL in August and NY in September/October. It’s weird.

That’s an old story. I remember that one during the campaign. Doesn’t surprise me though that The Hill is just getting around now to following up on what he did about being registered in two states. I think they’re a little slow.

Oh you silly wabbits…you think you can all fall in line one day and then try show some ballz the NEXT day??? HAHAHAHAHAHA…they eat people like you for breakfast.

It’s more than weird. It was another instance of gross negligence by the media for not highlighting this as EXTREME Republican hypocrisy.

Only problem is that settled law doesn’t include what constitutes torture.

Re: Private emails on the RNC server…

Maybe we can ask the Canadians to hack the RNC…

Thats OK. Steve King (R-Shitkickers) and Louie Gohmert (R-morons) will just introduce a new bill entitled “The Protect America from Terrorism” bill and tell lots of horror stories about old episodes of “24” where they BARELY avoided Nuclear Attacks on Middle America! (nobody out in the boonies gives a shit about New York or L.A.) by swarthy Mooslim T’uuurrrests!
That will get a straight party-line vote (with a few cowardly Dems crossing over) and go to the Senate, where they will pass it on a majority vote under some arcane rule and the Orange Shitgibbon will immediately sign it.
THEN someone will actually read it and find out it includes a 90% cut in taxes on all people making over $500K a year, and gives local Sheriffs the power to arrest and jail anybody they so choose without possibility of Court interference or requirements of a trial, fully suspending Habeous Corpus.

Thune said Trump cannot make that call without Congress playing a role

The role of the GOP Congress: Yes, sir, President Trumpp sir! We’ll pass your proposed Bigly Tough Interrogation legislation right away, Mr. President!
