I see this is a topic that posters would like to discuss. Here’s a thread for it.
Here’s the link:
And no, Discourse, it’s not an error to post the same link in different threads.
I just heard on CNN that the Manchurian Cantaloupe wants the Constitution “terminated”. And exactly how does he plan to accomplish that?
What, simply not respecting it isn’t good enough for him anymore?
And how on Earth will the Republicans spin that as them being the stalwart defenders of the Constitution?
“We had to kill it to save it.”
They just won’t ever talk about it, and pretend he never said it.
Or the classic, he was making a hyperbolic point because he’s way smarter than his critics will admit.
Here’s the link:
"Earlier this week Trump expressed support for the rioters behind the deadly January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol, saying in a video played during a fundraiser that “People have been treated unconstitutionally in my opinion and very, very unfairly, and we’re going to get to the bottom of it.”
I won’t hold my breath waiting for him to say anything actually specific. What a fucking douchebag.
“It had rabies. We had to shoot it. It was a mercy killing.”
The Founders would support it, he says. The Founders wanted him elected!
Sedition, in Spain he would be in jail. Catalan independists have been for less serious offenses.
OK, the USA is not Spain, nor Catalonia. And what is happening in Spain is not good. But declaring the Constitution void is unlawful under tha Constitution, isn’t it?
Sorry. That probably happened because I split the threads.
You were faster than me!
Poor poor Ol’ Yeller…
The Constitution exists so that We can do whatever we need to against Them. The Founding Fathers (all men) wanted it that way. Going against We is going against the Constitution. We are We and They are They and They can never stop We. Tear down the Constitution so We can uphold the Constitution which protects We.
See how easy that was?
I’ll just say what I frequently find myself saying:
Trump appointed Delaware US Attorney Weiss to investigate Hunter Biden (not an elected official, it should be said). The Biden administration kept him on. The investigation is ongoing, and – apparently – is focused on a possible illegal gun and possible tax issues.
Former US Attorney, Rudy Giuliani, had the laptop contents since at least October 2020, but – as is customary for Giuliani – provided nothing. No evidence of criminal wrongdoing by Joe or Hunter Biden.
Rudy F’in Giuliani – the man who – until there’s risk of Perjury charges – will literally say anything.
Compare and contrast that to:
- The Ukraine phone call with Zelenskyy – blatant Bribery or Extortion (and not for the benefit of the country; just him)
- The Georgia election call with Brad Raffensberger (attempting to circumvent the mechanisms of Democracy)
- January 6th
- The 448-page, two-volume Mueller Report – not what Barr’s fictional version said, not what the Senate Republicans said, but the evidence
And I don’t give FuckWon about Hunter, and if there are truly any smoking guns that point to Joe, I say have at it. But …
It seems that Trump and the MAGA Universe have a different interpretation of what constitutes evidence and probable cause than I do.
And I’m sane, so I tend to go with my POV on these things.
Yowza. Just … bat shit on top of more bat shit on top of more bat shit. Are we #WINNING yet??
This man is the biggest goddamned baby of all time. What a genuinely pathetic child.
All I can say is
Donald Trump Wants To Cancel The Second Amendment!!!
and a bunch of other stuff
Well, there is the traditional view of the Constitution and how to interpret its contents, and then there is the Trump view.
This is probably as good a thread as any into which to drop this article (gift link):
The article arose out of the reversal of Judge Cannon’s rulings in the Mar-a-Lago documents case by a panel that included 2 other Trump-appointed judges, but the discussion about Trump’s judges – and how they interpret the law – is much more broad. Disturbing, too.
