President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Ihre papire bitte.

 

Can we all agree that the racist traitor in chief is pardoning war criminals in order to send a message that he'll do the same for domestic murderers of his political enemies?

 

The only thing, IMHO, the folks that surround Trump understand is "lock them up." That's the only way to get to them. If there is a legal means to do it, make it so. Reading tweet after tweet from Pelosi and Co. telling us "this is bad, they must comply" seems like wasted time and bandwidth. We know it's bad. But as the saying goes, plans for new buildings mean nothing. Pouring concrete means something.

 

His political enemies and anybody else he hates.

 

"Will no one rid me of this turbulent reporter?

 

"We're Number One!" in discrimination.

 

WSJ story says the judge stayed the order for 7 days to allow for time to appeal.

McConnell's Senate Rules:

-POTUS can fire the FBI Director and Attorney General for allowing him to be investigated, and we'll be happy to confirm replacements for both of them
-the Senate should investigate those who investigate POTUS
-It's ok if the new AG auditioned for the job by writing a memo espousing a fringe theory
-We don't need to compel witnesses who provided inconsistent testimony to explain themselves in a public hearing
-No need for oversight of a norm-shattering admin that uses private email for internal communications (and message-deleting apps to secretly deal with foreign powers), but we need to investigate the emails of an official who's been out of govt for 6 yrs
-vague expressions of general concern are sufficient to offset the erosion of congressional authority
-it's appropriate for a chairman of a committee to urge the president's son to plead the Fifth if a different committee compels him to testify
-we have no objection to a president using emergency authorities to do end runs around the budget power of Congress
-we have no problem with novel legal opinions expanding executive power at the expense of the legislative branch

 

Karma can be such a bitch.

 

The Karma is with John Roberts, not with Merrick Garland, who us ultimately completely powerless against the traitor-seated SCOTUS. For the life of me I can't figure out why intelligent people like Matthew Miller don't understand the SCOTUS will side with Trump at every opportunity.
