Conservatives would be freaking out if this was Obama and one of the conservative appeals courts. Also, the many people stuff is bad. Did he read that on Brightbart? The guy is a walking joke.
Judges can stop presidential actions.

Balances and such. Also, judge shopping is what conservative groups do with their cases for the most part.

Actually, it’s called projection. Transference is when you fall in love with your psychiatrist.

transference
noun

  1. Psychoanalysis.
    the shift of emotions, especially those experienced in childhood, from one person or object to another, especially the transfer of feelings about a parent to an analyst.

 

projection
noun

  1. Psychology.
    the tendency to ascribe to another person feelings, thoughts, or attitudes present in oneself, or to regard external reality as embodying such feelings, thoughts, etc., in some way.

People who lack empathy cannot understand or identify with how other people may think or feel in a particular situation and hence can only project their own thoughts and feelings in that situation on others.

If I had an answer to this, I’d be able to sleep at night.

@the_loan_arranger Transference vs projection: I’m always open to corrections and I’ll try to the end of my days to try to get it straight as to what exactly is wrong with orange as well as the people who voted for him.

@libthinker Yes, it is the world’s largest economy, and strange but true, California produces 99% of the country’s artichokes (as well as a majority of our supply of most fruits and vegetables). PP would know nothing of this since McDonald’s doesn’t serve them.

I’m guessing its these guys:
Then Jesus demanded, “What is your name?” And he replied, “My name is Legion, because there are many of us inside this man.” Mark 5:9

I no longer do. I just get up when I wake up and start working.

It’s a sad, pathetic existence, but it’s the Pussy Grabber’s world, and I just live in it.

I hate orange for a lot of reasons, but none more than he made it acceptable to use pussy grabber and all its variations in conversation with people who don’t know each other.

Donnie & Co. are such NYC creatures. Outside of that bubble it’s almost unthinkable that someone else has power and authority.

This ought to do it!

He is simply floating the mirage that he is mentally capable of being the elected leader of this nation. That is such a complicated notion to grasp, so he must perpetuate the image in hopes that it will land somewhere, and people will magically love him.

Snark alert

i miss “but some people say”, but that’s due to very few American reporters or pundits calling him out on that.

It’s been an off n on issue for nearly three years, but id love for more than just one mainstream American reporter or pundit to call him out on his sources (same with McConnell n Ryan).

It might get this country somewhere.

This is what turns us into Argentina. A chill went down my spine when I saw Agent Orange’s morning tweet saying “Messy system.”

WTF, USA?

11, eh? I come up empty trying quickly to think of a word for him!

Anyway, one thing that we need to to root for is the potential victory of Macron in France’s presidential election and not the Nazi Trump candidate Marine Le Pen who wishes for Putin’s chaos and the destruction of Europe.

Lets go all Goodwin , Just a little cleansing my friend. If nothing else read the bold

The Third Reich has been called a dual state, since the normal judicial system coexisted with the arbitrary power of Hitler and the police. Yet, like most areas of public life after the Nazi rise to power in 1933, the German system of justice underwent “coordination” (alignment with Nazi goals). All professional associations involved with the administration of justice were merged into the National Socialist League of German Jurists. In April 1933, Hitler passed one of the earliest antisemitic laws, purging Jewish and also Socialist judges, lawyers, and other court officers from their professions. Further, the Academy of German Law and Nazi legal theorists, such as Carl Schmitt, advocated the nazification of German law, cleansing it of “Jewish influence.” Judges were enjoined to let “healthy folk sentiment” (gesundes Volksempfinden) guide them in their decisions.
Hitler determined to increase the political reliability of the courts. In 1933 he established special courts throughout Germany to try politically sensitive cases. Dissatisfied with the ‘not guilty’ verdicts rendered by the Supreme Court (Reichsgericht) in the Reichstag Fire Trial, Hitler ordered the creation of the People’s Court (Volksgerichtshof) in Berlin in 1934 to try treason and other important “political cases.” Under Roland Freisler, the People’s Court became part of the Nazi system of terror, condemning tens of thousands of people as “Volk Vermin” and thousands more to death for "Volk Treason.
