C’mon Japan, we want you to stop “ripping us off,” solve China’s human rights abuses, make Europe pay for its own defense, halt fentanyl trafficking at the Canadian border, contribute to our sovereign wealth fund, and buy us Greenland as an apology for even making us ask. There’s no plan.

It’s your system, not mine: “The people who have power decide. Just like what was done during the autopen regime. As has been the case since the beginning of time. The people will speak as to how correctly that power has been applied.” If Trump stripped citizens of their rights and then...

Why would that matter? Let’s say he does. Then he runs again in 2028 and wins. Under thethe’s system, the executive is now allowed to deny citizens rights. And “citizens” don’t get “rights” btw …there’s no Constitution in this scenario

How was I to know they were treated poorly without seeing the result of the next presidential election? The executive gets to decide in the moment who deserves due process, then the will of the people makes the final call on whether that action was justified or not when they cast their ballots.

This is the person who goes around calling people "uninformed clowns." SMH.

Yes, they voted for a candidate who promised to deport illegals, among a host of other issues. We are still governed by a Constitution. Winning an election does not mean you get to carry out your agenda by any means necessary. That's never been the case in the 250 year history of this...

Because the standard is now "whatever the American people voted for, we get to do, by any means necessary, disregarding the Constitution. Unless I decide that what the American people voted for takes some money from some American pockets and moves it to other pockets. That, not the...

Narrow world view is sacrificing your ability to follow basic logic in service of a cult leader

Yes, I am on record saying the POTUS defying a court order is the same as the POTUS defying a court order. Guilty!

Crazy idea!

These are the kinds of gymnastics one should expect from those who mock "PRINCIPLES"

Unfortunately, it'll still get you nowhere with this cat
