Never thought I’d see the day where a sitting US President would be credibly accused of condoning and instigating assault and violence.
I wish Congress would say “get him out of here”.
Well if he was actually *president when this happened that would be one thi…oops! not that either! Thanks Paula!
Since this Congress won’t, it’s up to voters to install a Congress that will.
I am President (King) and can’t have conflicts of interest.
I am President (King) and I can’t be sued.
I am President (King) and have my own palace (Mar-A-Lago).
I am President (King) and can be as secretive as I want (White House Logs).
I am President (King) and don’t have to show my taxes.
I am President (King) and can do what I want (because I have MY own army).
I am President (King) and live in MY own world (which all my subjects must recognize).
I am President (King) and…
At every turn, Trump proves himself to be a self-righteous, self-serving egomaniac constrained by nothing.
How will this play out? What I mean is, how long will it take for the courts to reject this claim?
With this crew we’re more like a banana republic every day.
Let’s make sure I have this right. A presidential candidate can lie, cheat, and steal his way into office, and if he wins he’s not liable for anything illegal he did to get there. Also, he’s not liable for anything illegal he does once he’s there. This, of course, only applies to white men. Everyone else is liable for whatever he imagines in his fever dreams and tweets from the shitter in the morning.
Hate runs deep in the Oxyamerican territories if they’ll accept that as the price for hurting brown people, women, and people who were intelligent enough to get the fuck out of their blighted coal communities.
This is what his base wanted.
What they got is a guy who is in over his head and has to run away to a golf course every weekend.
Trump’s team responded Friday to the protesters’ federal lawsuit, saying he’s immune as president from such suits.
Ask KKKellyanne to have her husband, one of the chief attorneys in the case, explain Jones v. Clinton to you, Donnie.
Well … that was predictable. A guy sleazy enough to urge his cult followers to beat up the skeptics trying to deprogram them isn’t going to admit guilt.
Having one of the highest IQs he personally ever recorded, Trump should have known how easy it is to incite morons to commit violence, and god knows there was no shortage of them at his rallies.
Depends on how many appeals it takes before they get a corrupt Republican Conservative (ooh, I’ve scored the rare triple redundancy!) judge.
They are in the Sixth Circuit. Appeals would go to a panel of judges, not just one. The Sixth is overseen by Elena Kagan. Trump isn’t going to find sympathy at the Sixth.
The irony is that Trump changes his mind so much, he’s now in agreement with the protesters!
The thinking now is that 4 younger reasonable people in the White House will serve as the brain trust and real power behind the Presidency. Much better than what we have had I will certainly agree!
One problem is that Trump is still uncontrollable, not even by them. Another glitch for the moment at least is that among the four, Jared Kushner is about to lose his security clearance because he conducts himself in manner of Trump: he has some extremely important, sensitive papers that he must fill out under penalty of perjury if he does not tell the truth? Well he will just jot down anything that makes him feel good and he has got lots of immunity he thinks or something like that. We shall see how that works out, but they have not found the Sweet Spot as of yet!
The response filed by Trump contradicts the argument of a co-defendant, a
Trump supporter accused of shoving a young black woman at the rally. WDRB-TV reported that 75-year-old Alvin Bamberger said he was only following Trump’s directions when he helped remove her.
This is just too rich for words.
“When the President does it, it is not illegal.”
America was not ready to embrace the FĂĽhrerprinzip in 1973. We are now engaged in a struggle to see whether it is in 2017.
