President Donald Trump is again being flagged on Twitter for a post spreading disinformation related to the November election after repeating a call to North Carolina voters to cast a second ballot in the November elections.
When MeeMaw was gasping for breath as she suckumbed to the China Flu, she said her dyinâ wish was for us to vote for Her Favorite President, and we are gonna honor that. We requested a mail-in ballot and weâll fill out it out on her behalf in her name.
Sometimes I really wonder what we are going to do about Facebook and Twitter. Out here in the west, officials have been deluged with calls about antifa/BLM setting the fires that have been so destructive. Theyâve taken to all kinds of media to plea for these calls to STOP. The source of the rumors about BLM/FB isâŚFB and Twitter.
And then identify the companies that support this shit and boycott them. Hit the Hobby Lobbies, the Las Vegas Sands Hotel (Sheldon Adelson), Marvel Comics (yup, those guys - the President held a fundraiser for Donnie), Shell Oil, etc, etc, etc.
I knew about all of those except Marvel, which makes me really sad. You can tell thereâs some disconnect between corporate and the artistic talent there.
Doesnât matter. A sitting president is immune (their word, not mine) from legal prosecution according to a 2000 DoJ memo.
In 1973, the Department of Justice concluded that the indictment and criminal prosecution of a sitting President would unduly interfere with the ability of the executive branch to perform its constitutionally assigned duties, and would thus violate the constitutional separation of powers. No court has addressed this quesÂtion directly, but the judicial precedents that bear on the continuing validity of our constitutional analysis are consistent with both the analytic approach taken and the conclusions reached. Our view remains that a sitting President is constituÂtionally immune from indictment and criminal prosecution.
The New York Times, with a straight face, notes that Trump is campaigning as âthe law and order candidate.â His serial public encouragement of voter fraud does not merit a mention.
Funny how the objectional secretive OLC memos seem always to be written during Republican administrations. Nixonâs âkeep out of jailâ free cards, Bushâs torture âjustificationâ, and so on.
I wonder what this says about Republicans that they need to have this secretive office to run cover for their malfeasance.
My personal boycott is to not use any paper money with Steven Mnuchinâs signature on the bill (lower right hand corner). When I get them in change I collect some and bring them to my bank and exchange them for any other like bill with another Secretary of the Treasuryâs signature on them. Mnuchin is a trump toady so I will not spend paper money with his name on it.
Well if he isnt going to leave when he voted out, and his supporters encourage this activity, and the GOP is right there, and the courts can not find time on their calendars to address this and many other issues who is going to stop him?
The flaw in this argument, as it pertains to Trump, is that Trump steadfastly refuses to âperform his constitutionally assigned duties.â Thus indicting and prosecuting him would have absolutely no effect upon Trump performing his constitutional duties since he is not doing that anyway.
